[quote=track_expert]Originally posted by SpeedfirstOriginally posted by "track_expert":2k4v0qn5I'll make this simple... a year ago Tyson injured himself running "too fast" (9.68w). So logically, if Bolt is running low 9.6x, Tyson will not beat him.
He wouldnt run faster than a high 9.7 at beijing last year because history speaking... his '07 trials-worlds were the same. So by peaking and running what he did at trials, a high 9.7x was his absolute best he could do, and now he's going to improve a tenth and a half?
Sure there was running the rounds at the speed he did, but based on how he performed, his abilities were shown and he wouldnt be running any faster than a 9.7x high. The 9.77 in the quarters has the very obvious and TRUE controversy, so if you minus that, and do a bit of wind calculations on a 4 meter tailwind... he wasnt really in 9.7x shape at all and more like the 9.82 "basic" we've seen in the past as well.
So if he really going to improve 2 tenths from last season till now? Certainly some of the improvement margin's been done.. but how far is it really going to go?[/quote:2k4v0qn5]
You see track expert you did attempt to imply that 9.68 was the cause. All of this number of races, not fit enough to run a certain time, I don't buy into that . Also Drummond cannot say for certain, that was the cause of his injury.
Why is it on one hand, you hear discussion about what the limits are on what a person (human) can run the 100m, but yet folks can sit back and conjure up what they think Tyson is capable of . If that were true, he'll still be right around 10 flat where some people thought he''ll never lower.
P.S. this thread will get locked, there is a pattern going on :shock: ..Yeah!!!!on the road

Bolt and Gay, no problem. They have proven they can work through the rounds.

He got injured because he TRIED to run out of his darn mind. The guy basically somersaulted on the TRACK. He can try doing that again, AFTER BERLIN. We all would like to see him in one piece at World Championships, especially me. He can pushed his body until his eyes literally popped for all I care, because it's his body, but only after World Championships.

The next round he ran 9.85 which was basically at his PR, then he ran 9.77 followed up by a 9.68.
It was NOT simply the 9.68 that injured him, it was a combination of running so FAST so often over the course of 2 or 3 days. No human has EVERY ran that fastest in that short of a time span. Check the record.[/quote:2tr3z6ug]
I did say it was running the rounds as well as a MASSIVELY wind aided run, it was BOTH.
Powell did the sprint-ease up-sprint in 04 and no injuries there... it wasnt the sole cause at all, just started it off.
And for the record... he ran the 10.xx then 9.77 and then 9.85, not other way around.

Gay wasnt running fast within his own limits, he was exceeding his own limits because of the wind. To say a performance with 0.5 wind vs. one with 4mps wind are the same is incredibly idiotic.
In conclusion there were two causes of the injury and only two main causes.
1) a FEF run + 3 wind aided runs
2) Last wind aided run was beyond his ability.
