What a beautiful running stride. Powerful, yet graceful.

That chick from the Netherlands put on the nitro. Good God she was flying. If her teammates had been able to run even half as good as that they would have smashed the WR. lol

McIntosh with a rare poor race in Paris. She was passed by both Australia and China in the final 50m so that Canada finished 4th in the 4x100m team medley.

Surprised they didn't put in Oleksiak who more of short distance swimmer. That's not really Summers forte.

Andre De Grass up next in the 100m

De Grasse out in the semifinals. Young Jamaican sprinter looked really good.

 

[MessierII]

Da grasse is aged out in the 100M. He could still do well in the 200M though his top end speed is still right up there.

Insane throw. Just casually walks up and lets it fly further than anyone has since 1988

 

[MessierII]

Man what a race. Came down to 5 1000ths of a second.

It's always a bit anticlimactic when you see them run times that Bolt would destroy.

I mean it’s very possible we never see those records broken.

Lyles tied Ben Johnson's time from 36 years ago.

He threw, said to the field, 'let me know when I'm up next'....

Nice see a Canadian crush an event.

Bolt was a physical freak..tall, with a long stride that ate up the track

After watching prime Bolt and Phelps every summer Olympics seems a bit anticlimactic to me. Not only were they the best in the world but the best in history. So cool to witness.

He was truly a generational sprinter. Not even a great starter either. Makes it even more mind boggling.

Yeah both the top two guys had 9.79. I still feel like Ben was screwed. All those guys were juiced. He had never failed a drug test before and had been using roids for years at that point. Americans admitted they got a guy in the room. Whole thing was super sketchy.

Competition was over after his first throw and everybody knew it. This guy is as dominant in his sport right now as any other athlete in the world is and nobody had even heard of him until this week.

I recommend watching the ESPN 30 for 30 about the event - 9.79*

All eight guys who ran in the 100m final were associated with doping at some point in their careers. The theme is that it was unfair to single out Ben Johnson.

 

[Soundwave]

I'm still a Ben Johnson fan *runs*

Carl Lewis was doping too it was obvious.

These kind of clips never get old. Just like kids in the crowd bawling their eyes out when their team loses.

It’s wild that he’s only 22. I swear I thought he was at least 30. Man, kids today look so much older. Lol
