Yeah watched this live and you got the feeling that because about 60m they were still close to him you were going to see something special and then all that i was doing was watching the clock and when it came up 9.58 was an amazing moment

And another scary thing is that before the Jamaican relay team won gold in Beijing, instead of training, they went for a McDonalds! :ohmy:

Why are Jamaican sprinters so fast? It's not as if they have the best facilities or a huge population to select from.

True, but so do many other nationalities, and prior to going to college or whatever in the USA the Jamaicans have pretty basic facilities I think.

Lots of sun encourages the production of Vitamin D. This then translates into stronger bones which means they can then push themselves harder in training.

Allied to that is the undeniable fact that the hot sun boils their blood and they have to run faster and faster to cool it down. Otherwise they die from dehydration or the get blinded from gallons of salty sweat trickling into their eyes.

Finally it's that sun again--cold blood leads to sluggish performance; you should try skiing down mount Everest, man is it tough trying to even get warmed up enough to lace yer boots up. Then, obviously, the opposite being hot blood expands the blood vessels which is absolutely great for loosening up the muscles, all pain disappears after 55% and you feel fantastic. B) :tonguecheek:

I learned that in a dry Far North Canadian Sauna.

So there you have it folks..whatever!

I think he should have to submit to a gender test.....there's no way any man should be able to multi-task to such a level where he can break 2 world records in such a short space of time.
