Noble effort from Pistorious. Will surely get a few golds in the Paralympics.

Hes the first athlete to compete in both the olympics and paralympics ever!!

Welcome to ages ago. Where have you been?

LOL. I watched it when it happened but I just wasn't on GTPlanet.

For those of you who like a bet for a Jamaican 123 you can get it at 7/1

Nah I think it'l be Bolt-Blake-Gay with a new WR.

Nah...i think it will be:

Gold: Yohan Blake
Silver: Usain Bolt
Bronze: Justin Gatlin
Blake runs it in 9.64.

Managed to get tickets for the velodrome two hours before the event started. Few pics I got before battery died:

12/1 for that 123

Silver for Ohurugu! 👍

Sorry for the silly question, but what time is the 100m final tonight?

9.50pm

 

[mattythedog]

9.50pm

Cheers. Personally I'm backing Bolt. I just think he has the edge to win today, though it may be close.

 

[poolhaas]

2 Belgians in the mens 400 m final! Hoping for a medal tomorrow.

 

[JBanton]

Bolt then Blake.

I'm happy either way because my family's home country will win the 100m sprint

I hope Gemili does well though 👍

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Gemili didnt make it to the final, he finished 3rd in the 3rd semi..but with a respectable time!

 

[mattythedog]

Gemili didnt make it to the final, he finished 3rd in the 3rd semi..but with a respectable time!

I was pleased with his performance, a hope for the future for us.

I'm off to watch the final build up. I'll catch up with you guys after it, toodley-pip!

I thought he had fastest loser spot, oh well I have Jamaica to support 👍

 

[Furinkazen]

100m Time. GT5 soundtrack "time" playing on BBC...

 

[photonrider]

Choices, choices.. . .

Bolt or Blake?

And there's always that third choice.

And there we go: sometimes it's hundreths of a second.

 

[JBanton]

Aww yea, Bolt wins it

 

[Furinkazen]

Bolt!!! WOW!!! New OR!!!!

 

[Emptyone]

Predictable, Bolt wins in 9.64

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Hes done it again!!!!!!!

 

[Dean]

Wow. New OR, but not WR...

 

[Nessy]

Colin Jackson was spot on with the prediction.

Well done Bolt!!! 👍


EDIT. time rounded down 9.63 secs.

Feel like breaking out the Ray & Nephews (little celebration tipple).

 

[Robin]

Edit - Nevermind, obviously no one saw it.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Bolt. I heard who came 2nd and 3rd but I can't remember seeing them at all.

 

[mattythedog]

Amazing! That man is incredible! Shame it was over so quickly.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

What happened to Powell?? did he tear something?

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Nah I think it'l be Bolt-Blake-Gay with a new WR.

Almost got the top 3 right, Gatlin gets it by a hair.

The fastest man that has ever lived wins it with relative ease. What a performance.
