AJM Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Watched it on tv...insane pace considering his better race is the 200m.

Breakwood Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Watched it on tv...insane pace considering his better race is the 200m.Actually I think his top race is the 400m, which makes it even more surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 How fast is that at that speed?9.72 *10 (to equal a km)and then somehow work our how far in an hour, its fastOK, someone check my math on this ...9.72 s / 100 m = 97.2 s / 1 km ... so if there are 3,600 s / hr, then 3,600 / 97.2 = 37.037 km/hr (average speed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 So how long until the drug test come back or is he on a new not yet detectable drug? I can't take any track and field record seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I remember the 9.79 that Ben Johnson (or at least I think it was him) set back in the 80's, and just going, "Damn..." Even though later we learned that the mark was tainted, it was still interesting to think that the human body was capable of going that fast under its own power.You know what? Juiced or not (and I'm not condoning nor advocating it here), I'd like to see a 9.72. Just to see it. Is it legitimate if he doped? No. But it'd still be worth investing 15 seconds of my life to see.

The math is interesting, but not exactly applicable to much of anything. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The math is interesting, but not exactly applicable to much of anything.That's why I tried to qualify it with the "average speed" tack-on. It's quite possible that he was going slower than that at the start and faster than that at the finish. It is true that he couldn't maintain the pace for very long, but to think that, for those 100m, he would have been breaking the speed limit for automobiles in a school zone is a little mind-boggling.

koizim Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Look, the point of all of this is that it proves that smoking weed might actually improve your athletic performance. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

Viper Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I wonder if he would be arrested on my street? The speed limit is 30km/h.They actually arrest speeders where you live? I thought that was just a ticketing offense. Now, if Bolt ran a 9.72 100m while drunk, that would be another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you can get arrested for speeding 50 km/h over the speed limit, it's a new law to cut down on street racing. You also get your car impounded.
