You gotta wonder the reaction if someone else breaks a record in this manner.
Snoop said shinning leads to grinding
Got damn, that is faster than most can run a regular 400M. That last 20 meters when he pulled away was unworldly.
Wonder who they were rooting for in Womens beach volleyball..
As a sports fan I choose to be optimistic when it comes to accomplishments... I'd rather be proven wrong, so with that being said ol boy running a sub-46 in the 400m hurdles is insanely amazing... Between that and the chick from Venezuela that smashed the triple jump WR - those are the best 2 Tokyo Olympic feats in track n field in my opinion... I don't care about broken Olympic Records, I wanna see broken World Records
im just not that excited by the records falling these Olympics
that track is too fast...it seems like every Olympics theyre making the surfaces faster and faster
but this year its ridiiculous
everyone is running personal bests on it; even if they didnt qualify for the finals theyre setting national records and shit
hell if bolts track was this fast in 08, he wouldve ran 9.3 or some other unworldly number

Records are meant to be temporary... The track doesn't move, the athlete's do - that fast track convo is just a b.s. talking point... From what you're saying, I guess it's not possible for people to train in order to improve their performance results
... The Olympics is the place you want to set your personal best... Bolt running a 9.58 was an unworldly number back in 09 - still unbroken... If the track surfaces have been getting "faster and faster", why hasn't that record been broken?
Michael Johnson was on television today explaining the new technology that goes into making that track in Tokyo. It's some new age science stuff.... then add to that the new type of running shoes / spikes used by the athletes and it's no surprise why the times are so fast.

So you're saying everyone shaving at least .2 off their personal bests has nothing to do with the track?
Just watch the qualifiers and the times of the people who don't make the finals...theyre celebrating like hell because they broke their best times ever
Basically Cole you stupid
That makes good sense fam
But I still don't like it
It's fucks up the goat debate
Assumed you'd respond with some dumb shit... Chinese dude ran 9.83 in the semi, but clocked a 9.98 in the finals... Buddy ran on the same track with the same shoes, so what factors led to the decrease in time? As I said before the Olympics is the place you want to overachieve and set your PB...
It definitely would be cool getting this kind of pay on some of those bullshit sports like rowing and equestrian.
Man add the shooting events to that too
Right. You know that I can appreciate the skill it takes to get to their level. Some shit is just elitist and only allowing rich cacs to compete. For example Bruce Springsteen's daughter is in the equestrian event. Ain't hatin good for them. But you once that shit becomes accessible in .y neighborhood, it's done.
It's Usain... ugh... er.... I mean insane the potential he had.
Watching him in the U.S. trials, you could definitely see the potential... The moment not too big for him and that's key
