sprinters OT

im so sad my girl allsion felix was 5thhhhhhhh ugh i wanted her to go to the olympics in the 100 so bad. But, freaking beast Tyson Gay got a new AR in the 100 (9.77) tonight. Its just sad because, i know how this is gonna go in Beijing jamaicans lol..thats all i have to say.

LOL @ NO RESPONSES.

Okay, I guess I'll chime in
I was kind of sad that Allyson Felix didn't make it, but I'm sure she'll have another chance at the Olympics eventually
I was worried about Tyson Gay after his first race (he can't screw up; we need him!!!!) but I'm glad he did well the next time haha.
His new AR is pretty close to the WR, no??
He might sort of stand a chance against the Jamacians... maybe lol

tyson gay was great.

before the race he put his hand up for delay. i was like o tyson.. you're making me nervous!

Yeah, for some reason I thought the WR was 9.76. I was like, "!#@$@%!@! Tyson Gay was really close!!"
But then I looked it up and realized I was wrong lol.

yea. you still live under a rock though hehe.

You're right. That's my house. Right under there.

well he probably would have gone 9.76 if he didn't let up at the end but there was no need

thats freakin fast

i couldn't imagine going over 10 meters per second

especially from a standstill; they must be going even faster by the end of the race

any doubt the WR will go under 9.7 in the OLY?

Tyson Gay ran 9.68 in the finals! Even though it's not the world record because the wind was 4.1 meters per second and the limit is 2, it's still the fastest a human has ever ran.


Yay, Tyson Gay!

What does that put his record time at?

Um. I don't know. I think that they are saying the 9.77 American record, for the time he ran in the semi's. But, the 9.68 I don't know what that is converted to with the wind conditions different.

yeah 9.77 is the american record usain bolt has the world record...i was freaking out when they said tyson had the world record i was like noooo way no way and then they were like nopee doesn't count cuz of the wind. lol. that sucks haha.
Jeremy Wariner is a beast though he like almost walked across the finish line because he was so far ahead i was like danggg. Lashawn Merritt beat him though in a different heat but i don't think Jeremy is too concerned because he just wants to make the team right now he'll worry about lashawn later. Wariner 46.04 and Merritt 45.30.

Jeremy is my favorite runner! I missed the race because I was heading home from 11-1. perfect timing right? Anyway, did he make it? *cross fingers*
