2009 World Athletics Championships - Berlin

analogskipper742 said:When it comes to Bolt, if you just looked at his first hundred meters during a 200m race, he’d probably break the record again...

I don't think so, though. He actually clocked those first 100m at around 9.90...

northerncanyon54 said:Nah, he was clocking around 9.90 for those first 100m...

Actually, it was 9.92

For Blanka Vlašić, this win matters way more than just adding another gold medal to the collection, doesn't it? It’s about finally proving to everyone that her performance two years ago wasn't just a stroke of luck, but that she truly possesses that little spark that defines a real champion.

If she had only cleared 206, I honestly think we would have seen the end of her career on the big international stage.☕

This guy who was playing the mascot yesterday is an absolute legend... I mean, first he's posing with Bolt, and then there's this video right here... 🙏

why isn't anyone broadcasting 😕 or even ESPN or anything else

there’s nothing special on the schedule until like 8:00 PM, so I guess that's why... then at 8:20 PM we've got Perković running the final... 👍

Doctors just stood there shrugging because his drug tests kept coming back clean. Meanwhile, researchers over at the University of Oslo ran computer models on that 100m final from Beijing, and they figured if Bolt hadn't throttled back after the 60m mark, he probably would’ve clocked something under 9.60—maybe even a 9.55. Some experts actually had to rewrite their entire playbook on human limits; instead of thinking sub-9.60 was a goal for 2040, they moved it up to 2020. Usain Bolt, the guy who basically broke science, was just faster than everyone else: he beat the math by ten years.

🤣

"I really felt the pressure, just massive pressure," Blanka Vlašić admitted right after clinching her second straight world title. "It honestly felt like I was doing this for the very first time"

🤣

There isn't much scheduled until 8:00 PM, so I guess that's why... Perković hits the finals at 8:20 PM... 👍

It’s absolutely pouring out here☕😉

The weather in Berlin is basically a monsoon☕

How could you even suggest something that stupid?🙄😕🤷

The guy playing the mascot yesterday was a total legend... Posing with Bolt, then this video... 🙏

Anyone got pics of that pose?🤷😕

wearyangler29 I didn't catch what you were trying to say there... looks like the thought just trailed off into nothingness... anyway, if you've got something actually worth rambling about, I'm all ears, I guess...
How on earth could you actually fall for something that stupid... honestly...🙄😕🤷

I dropped the link to the schedule, and if you actually look at it, there weren't any finals lined up until 7:15 PM when the men's high jump was supposed to kick off... So, honestly, it seemed pretty obvious to me that they weren't planning on starting the broadcast around 6:00 PM like they usually do... ☕

wearyangler29 said:Does anyone happen to have some pics of that posing thing...

I think there’s actually a whole site dedicated to that stuff... turns out you can go down a massive rabbit hole if you really want to... just posing...😉

Allyson Felix, please come sleep in my bed

This mascot guy from yesterday is an absolute legend... posing with Bolt, and then this video... 🙏

Honestly, that guy totally earned his paycheck yesterday. Plus, being a mascot is actually brutal work—I've heard stories about rookies passing out from dehydration all the time...

Perković is sitting at number five right now 👋

Allyson Felix!!!! I just adore her! Way to go!🙏

When is the 4x100m final scheduled to take place?

Relays always wrap things up on the final day

So, Sunday, I guess.☕

The 4x400 is on Sunday. ☕

And then we've got the 4x400 on Sunday. ☕

Man, that 4x100 is gonna be tough without America 😢

They completely blew it.
