Was there any doubt he'd get the world record though? It was expected really. It makes it more impressive that he was running into a head wind.

the only question was if he would run the entire race, and not showboat or jog to the finish.
that was a record i didn't expect to see broken, but i've never seen a guy run like this before either. freakishly and effortlessly fast. |

I seriously thought he was going to run something like 19.27 today. As I said a few days ago after he'd won the 100m, I didn't see any doubt that he'd break the world record.

I'd like to see him attempt to stretch out and go for the 400 record now, with how fluid he runs and his freakish speed he shouldn't have any problems with it for 2012. Imagine a 100/200/400 triple?

The 100m is always the first weekend of the olympics, but the 200/400 running typically overlaps. Remember in 1996 MJ had to get the schedule changed so he could do both. |

4x100
Jamaica is gonna run 36.95
He is what I'd rather see: Leg 1: Michael Frater Leg 2: Asafa Powell Leg 3 and 4: Usain Bolt How great would that be? |

just caught Bolts WR 200. I've never seen a guy so much better than the rest of the field in the short distances at the Olympics. he was only running against the clock. the only time his races were close, he was jogging while the others were all out.

glad to see that Walter Dix got a medal, even if it was due to a double disqualification. the guy is no nonsense and shows up every time with lots of fight and runs fast despite the fact he's built like Earl Campbell.

I think the progression of this record is fascinating. It is very much the opposite of the 100m record, which is shaved away by a couple of hundredths of seconds every 2-3 years. The 200m world record of 19.72 was set in 1979 and stood for 17 years, until MJ ran 19.66 and ultimately 19.32 in 1996. Then, for the next 12 years (1996 - 2008) 200 meter runners at the elite level ran in the area of 19.7 - 20.0 at World Championships and Olympic Games, but never close to 19.3, until now. It shows how above and beyond MJ and Bolt are from their competition; If it wasn't for those two, the world record would have essentially remain unchanged since 1979. |
