Was Bolt's relay leg finally faster than Hayes 8.6?

[thedodge]

Bolt was picking them up and laying them down have to believe it's close.
Bob Hayes stated in Olympic Cowboy that his leg was timed in 8.4 manuel and 8.6 electronic i had the video.

Are you joking or what? How dare you compare what he did in 1964 versus Bolt. Of course, Bolt's leg is faster.

Really! nobody has run faster Powell's 8.7 being the closest and that was on these trampoline tracks not some dead dirt track.

Considering Bolt ran 8.79 at Penn in 2010 I'd think his in shape 4x1 leg would be a little faster than that...

Looking the video and crossing mark 300m, Bolt made around 8.70 seconds, i wait that soon appears official splits. I think that almost sure will be around 8.65-8.75 seconds

Bolt's relay leg in Daegu is the fastest anchor ever. Period.

Bolt's relay leg in Daegu is the fastest anchor ever. Period.

When you factor in the differences in surfaces, I actually doubt that.

Re: Was Bolt's relay leg finally faster than Hayes 8.6?

I think that his time have to be very very near or better that Powell.
In the videos in clock TV(of course is not electronic time but is very good for compare times) you can see:

Beijing: Powell mark 300 28.3 37.0(finally 37.10 electronic)difference 8.7(finally 8.70 official)
Berlin: Powell mark 300 28.3 37.0(finally 37.30 electronic)difference 8.7(finally 8.73 official)
Daegu: Bolt mark 300 28.1 36.8(finally 37.04)difference 8.7(?????official???)

Really the time in relay of Bolt have to be record or very very near....

since we have no idea about a truly reliable time for either Hayes or Bolt, nobody knows.

No Sir/madam, your arithmetic is wrong. if Bolt receive the baton 0.2 seconds earlier (28.1 vs 28.3 ) at the 300m mark and only finish 0.06 seconds quicker than Beijing and 0.26 seconds in Berlin then at best his fastest time would be in the range of (8.7 +(28.3-28.1)-(37.10-37.04) to (8.7 +(28.3-28.1)-(37.30-37.04) which is 8.84 to 8.64. Now the fundamental problem with this assumption however is that those 300m time are wrong because if powell received the baton at 28.3 sec in Beijing then his spit would be (37.1-28.3) and this equates to a 8.8 split, : the same is true for Berlin which would imply powell ran a 10 second leg ( 37.3-28.1) :wink:

We have video of both anchors. Can't someone just interpolate where the last 100 begins and count frames?

I just did count the frames, and I got a maximum of 8.78 and a minimum of 8.70 for Bolt. Not sure if the original video feed is at the right speed.

Not the easier to get right with 30Hz film and hundredth of a second resolution.

Re: Was Bolt's relay leg finally faster than Hayes 8.6?

Bolan looking the videos i see time for Bolt more or less like Powell in Berlin or Beijing, that is the reality, i see 8.65 being very optimistic and 8.75 being few optimistic.
Of course we have wait official splits, is very hard tell only with videos with perspective not so perfect...
