Tyson Gay just ran 9.68 for the 100m at US Olympic Trials. I know there was a 4.4 wind blowing him up the track, but “What the f*#k?”. Obviously its not an official World Record cos it was wind aided, but damn. These guys are not playing this year. I have a personal interest in the men’s 100m, cos Husband is Asafa Powell’s agent. Asafa was the World Record holder going into this season with a 9.74. Then his fellow Jamaican, Usain Bolt, went and dipped it down to a 9.72 about 8 weeks ago.
But this is crazy. I can’t wait for the Olympics, these guys are going to run so fast that one of them might just spontaneously combust from pure effort and speed. Can the human body stand up to such speed and power? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Asafa celebrates his World Record in Italy last year.
