Think I Said it last Year But 'Lightening Bolt' is Going to Push Down the WR

Just Watched the 9.58 WR on youtube
He Didn't Dip in to the Finish That Would have Brought him Down to A 9.53 Atleast

I think 'Lightening Bolt' Will Bring the 100m WR in to the 8 second Mark

But At the moment there is Nobody out there to Challenge Him

He's Very Slack out of the Block, At About 30-40 Meters He Looks up And Bang Away he Goes So there is Another 0.3 - 0.4 of A Second

He Could easily Be Put Back 10m From the rest And Still Beat the Best At 110m

And just in Case My PB for 100m (At the Age of 15 With No Training)  10.16s(Bare Footed)

I also enjoyed watching the 3,000 steeplechase,and willing the French chap to do well,he came 3rd and split the Kenyans who would have had a 1,2,3 otherwise

Not Sure What to make of this ?? South African Caster Semenya having A Gender test

Caster Semenya must have competed in many races before and in different international levels
Whether or not, the Athletic Commission Should Be Dealing with this Behind Closed Doors

I Would Bet on that Usain Bolt has been Accused of Drug enhancement time and time Again, but the results have been kept out of the Public eye As He has Been Clean

(But At this Point it's Best to keep your Own Opinions to yourself until Comfirmed or Denied By the IAAF)

We All Have Said/thought Before That Some Female Athlete's looks like A Man, But lets Face it you Are not Going to Get many Busty girls being Athete's

Must be the first time an athlete has had to pass a gender test, wouldn't a quick examination before the race by a female doctor have sorted it out. From the picture he/she does look like a bloke.

According to the IAAF it's not that Simple  :cheesy:

But I Would have thought A Birth Certificate And Other Documentation Would Solve the Problem

Alot of this Was to Do With A Boost in Casters Performance A Few Weeks Back

And As For the Looking like A man We had Fatima Whitbread


Sadly these Girls Give up the Feminine Look to represent their Country in Sporting Events
And the Short Distant Track Events And the Field Events have a hard training routine

Flo Jo Wasn't Very Feminine looking on the track

If it Wasn't for the Make-up And the Amazing Nail

Yep, sad to say that it would appear the whole thing is not quite so simple as we might think.  Bloody apalling the way they decided to annouce it all now.  The girl has been allowed to compete and she has won her medal.  So it comes across as "let's alllow her to do so and then if she fails this test we take it away from her?!?!?"

So what if it proves wrong and she is a woman.............can they take back the moment she won and how she should have been allowed to feel - the jubilation and the enjoyment of the moment?  Nope, instead she won and had to leave the stadium under a cloud.

Anyway................did Mr Bolt just run again?!?!?!?     :o

I think those high jump girls need a damn good meal myself            far too skinny!   ;D :P
