Now that Bolt has brought the WR of the 100m down to 9.57 what to you think the best time will ever be in that race?

There are only so many fractions of a second that can be taken off of 9.57 and then there will be a WR that could never be broken.

I dunno. Like a kid toying with his friends in the Olympics this guy turned in one of the more remarkable performances that I have ever seen. 9.58 may stand for a long time.

I like Havisham's post...

Bolt is great. But I predict that if he ever begins to reflect, he’s done.

In sports, only Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak comes to mind as a comparison...but that IS NOT EVEN CLOSE...as runners have been roaming planet earth for much longer.
