Blazing

[Spickard]

I believe the term is "jogging".

hahahahaha

He's a freaking alien... 8-)

That might be the single most impressive run I've seen! 19,59 in these conditions...not only cold, not only headwind not only puring rain but all of them together. Never stops impressing me!

Now thats just silly! He pushed it 170m and shut down just the last 6-7m....he ran it hard in bad conditions.

[croflash]

Crazy...

Can't wait to year some Yank here say that Tyson's 19.58 in the warm sunny conditions in NY was better

Most amazing performance ever in a thunderstorm.

Yea, and he even jogged the last 30 meters

[trackstar]

I totally missed that that was Lashawn Merritt in the lane next to him. That has to scare the bejeezus out of all those quartermilers listening to this talk of Bolt trying the 400.

That about sums it up. Clearly a different species...

Sorry you missed the sarcasm...I was trying to approximate the standard Jamaican fan response. :wink:

[The Captain]

Winning margin 0.82!!!!

[Jon]

Who'd have guessed that when Xavier Carter ran his 19.63 in 2006, the Lausanne meet record would last just three years!?

Phenomenal run.

[Marlow]

OK the time differentials are INCREDIBLE!

1 BOLT, Usain 19.59
2 MERRITT, Lashawn 20.41
3 MARTINA, Churandy 20.76
4 CRAWFORD, Shawn 20.80

[Taliban]

I see a 19.1x this season
