  1. fucking Canadian cheating assholes, fuck Donovan bailey. met him once and he was a douche bag to a young person wanting to say hi. hope he cleans floors in a fucking XXX theatre with his fucking tongue.
  2. There are 4 men in the field who are either Jamaican or have strong Jamaican roots...and yet clueless people say "Jamaica only came on the scene in 2008"
  3. Christie, clearly didn't false start in the replay....a bogus call,  sad.
  4. I'm like why is this 15min for a 10s race then I watch it and I'm like I'm nervous and anxious and I'm not even racing ... smh 3 false starts that's crazy
  5. This race demonstrated two things. That Linford Christie is and was an attention seeking asshole even when he wasn't the main man and how much of a shit commentator David Coleman was. He had Ato Boldon winning the race which is funny as he came 3rd.
  6. RACE STARTS AT 13:13
  7. Bolt would have laughed at all of this. He "clowned around" before races but was dead damn serious about a clean start and a clean race.
  8. Christie can't believe he would have beaten Bailey can he? What a tool.
  9. Perhaps 1-2 of these guys were clean. Who knows. But barely anyone will know their names. Administration failure. In 1996 the drug testing programs were usually ahead of the cheats, and then the rise of designer drugs came in. Christie also falsely started but the Brit commentator is blind.
  10. My name is Donovan
  11. Hockey
  12. Rur
  13. Frankie Fredericks, the only non-West African besides the white Christophe LeMaitre to ever run under 10 flat, was the favorite...
  14. Ok, 14 minutes for a 100m final wasn't a great thing to see, but i think the single false rule is too draconian and stupid. Congrats to Mr.Bailey althoug a bit sad to see my youth idol Linford Christie leave the track without run.
  15. asquerosos negros,filthy blacks
  16. ever since I've been watching sprint finals in the early 90s,no final compares to this.i'll give Tokyo 91 a close second.

  18. Men's 100m is divided into three eras. Pre-Bolt Era, Bolt Era and Post-Bolt Era.
  19. I'm still undecided on the false start rule. I know when false starts occur it causes disruption and unwanted tension, though I can't help feel total devastion for the athlete . The training , the money , the hours , the sacrifice that goes into preparing for these events only to have it go to nothing ! I don't think people realize how life changing and devasting this is for an athlete . I had friend who competed in pan pacs games, trained hard and spent every cent he had to achieve his dreams .. he false started and was dq'd . This affected him profoundly to the point he gave the sport away , he believed he threw money at something that wasn't within his reach .. will never know whether his suicide was related to this incident though I now have a lot more sympathy for runners / athletes who false start .
  20. With all the false starts and extra energy wasted, for Donovan Bailey to still break the world record is quite an accomplishment. Bailey too often gets overlooked when compared to the all-time great sprinters.
