DavidNoble Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Outrageously fast. A true Olympic legend. Anyone else reckon he could do a decent job on the right wing if Albert does leave?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Fantastic! What a super star, slowing down as he crossed the line and still being the first man to win both sprint gold medals in two Olympics. Simply brilliant! Greatest sprinter of all time.

Red Cloud Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 incredible performance but a shame to slow down when he could have easily had the WR - hhhhhmmmmm more money to break it elsewhere perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he would of, he only slowed up in the last 20, fast but I don't reckon fast enough to beat it. 1 wouldn't be surprised if he had a look at concentrating on the 400 next season, after al he has accomplished everything in the 100 and 200. If he has the dicipline for it.. another story, but I would love to see him give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelsBCFC Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think Olympic Hero, Legend, Future Sports Personality Of The Year Winner should belong to Sir Chris Hoy Track Cyclist 6x Olympic Gold Medalist for TeamGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hard to argue with that, Dave. Hoy is an incredible athlete, for sure. When he was on top of the Olympic podium for the final time it was emotional. I loved watching the dominance of the British cycling team, as well as the British fellas doing what they did in the Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Bolt was superb yesterday, but the athlete of the games has to be David Rudisha in the 800 metres. Bolt is a great sprinter, but he wouldn't win the Decathlon. The greatest athlete in the world, to me, is always going to be the world record holder for the Decathlon.

Crikey. Bolt is just brilliant!! A great sprinter as well as entertainer..hilarious mannerisms and great attitude. I couldn't stop laughing when he went into the press ups after the race. Living legend!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hev Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 hahaha hmmm i was 10 when the hartlepool game happened think i cried when goodfellow scored that night will stay with me forever so maybe that was the best night of my life... but it was incredible last night atmosphere was amazing running out of words to describe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but pushing him a very close 2nd maybe even joint top, brownlee (the winning brother) Who recorded a time for the 10k run after swimming and riding in the triathlon, only 1.30 seconds behind Mo's winning time, in fact his time would have beaten some of the competing 10k athletes, all this on uneven ground in a wet kit, not a nice spongy track. For me the truely outstanding athletisism shown at the games. A truly deserving Gold medal, and the stand out achievemnet at the games for me. if you want to add to that taking a flag off a spectator, slowly jogging the last 100 and then walking the last 10, just imagine what time he could have posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengibbs68 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 He's a living legend, he absoluetly destroyed the field in both races. Would lvoe to see what he could do as a footballer if he's anywhere near as good as he think. That tall and that fast, would make you think he could do a job at some level if he has any kind of technical ability. Also hope he goes for 400m in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 4 years ago I marvelled at what Bolt, indeed the whole Jamaican sprint squad, did and hoped that they were doing it clean. 4 years on with, as far as I recall, not a whiff of suspicion about drug use, they almost matched the gold haul, and in lieu of missing out on the women's 200m swept the men's instead. I have read various articles suggesting Bolt is the Ali of our generation, and it is hard to argue against it. Not only is he doing the business on the track, he also comes across as a class act off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am A Cider Drinker Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 David Rudisha (sp) beat the 800m world record last night and IMO he is on a par with usain bolt both tremendous athletes as are anyone who won any kind of medal at the olympics. True sporting icons every one of them. think i might have 'olympic fever' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Not exactly quietly modest - as that earlier Olympic thread on here suggested athletes were - but I guess he's earned maximum bragging rights and the Jamaicans are permanent gold medal holders in that sport: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/19204226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsobigfatdave Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 blake will beat bolts times in rio, I'm sure of it No I dont think so....I dont think anyone is going to get near Bolt for a good few years...I dont think Blake can improve anymore as good as he is...hes just a little too short. Bolts ego will get him to Rio and at 29 he will be at his peak for a Sprinter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
