Blake and co are not happy with how long they had to wait.

Bolt is going to be a hard act to follow for anyone. Not sure we will see his record broken in our lifetimes.

Nothing about the history of athletics supports this, I'd be amazed if they aren't broken in my lifetime.

Wr were progressing at 0.01 or 0.02, he moved the needle by a a tenth of a second, it will be broken but we could be waiting a heck of a long time, Ive always thought a 100m won't ever be run in 8 secs surely but if every generation is becoming, faster, stronger than in 300 years time who know a 5sec wr?

there's a limit on how fast humans can ever run without evolving in a v different direction

Bolt's 9.58 ( highly dubious imo) is close to the limit imo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
28mph...and change

Last event

Good last two days for us....6 medals loads of 4th places
