  • It actually made sense the way he talked about it. Yeah he had a record in two separate races, but it's statistically rare to find a runner who sets records in more than one race. Of course it surprised Johnson to see how much gas Usain Bolt had in the tank for a race twice as long as the 100 m sprint.

  • never had they're been a olympic athlete during the final tha can shake their body around and win

  • @jknight213 He ran 19.30

    U knw wat I love wit this interview...After Mj goin on bout how Bolt can't do it tonight...and blah blah...a wonder how he felt watching the record go down the drain.

    I mean u hold the record, but don't be so damn cocky bout it...IT sweet me..I wud luv to interview Mj and play that piece n ask him to comment...

  • There should have been a follow up interview with Mr. Johnson when he said about Usain would not break the 200m world record at the 2008 Olympics, then for Usain to actually go a break the record after what he said.

  • everyone knows michael was on drugs. google it.

  • @IMPgenesis I googled it and micheal was clean but, a fellow teammate Young was on dope for the 4x100m in Sydney... so the whole team got disquilified

  • it did happen that year!!

  • @phastman99 Read Speed Trap from Charlie Francis

  • Incredible. I've seen countless ppl put countless limitations on Usain, yet he continues to embarass the predictors countless times. smh. when will they learn? lol. MJ made me looove the olympics with his stunning performances in '96, but Beijing '08 just assaulted my senses. Thunderbolt is just that good.

  • all these years Jamaican athletes were being cheated of their gold medals because the American athletes were using drugs to win races...so unfair!!!

  • @missymissee: Possible. Head Doctor of the USA Olympic Committee blew the whistle. Please read before you speak. The USOC injected their athletes for years including many Olympic medalists. USOC drug czar, Dr Wade Exum quit because he disagreed with dopes! He broke the story on ESPN, & filed 10,000 pages evidence in court. Google Dr Wade Exum or read here:Media didn't carry it.

  • Michael Johnson always gives a great analysis of runners,great interview.

  • but not like dat

  • ben johnson did the same thing 20 years ago

  • @phastman99 - Many of these athletes use performance enhancers. But they are generally 1 step ahead of the testers. ! step ahead in that they usually know which substances will be monitored in which seasons. That's why they work with certain trainers and doctors who have the inside track. I've competed with some Olympic caliber athletes. That being said, they don't go from being slow to using and then being super either. Many times they are simply enhancing the gifts they already have.

  • One of the most in shape people you will ever run across. 5'10 180 shredded chump

  • I had the chance to talk with MJ in Athens..

  • Once again fastmam.. If you give yourself a nickname like that you never were.. Maybe neighborhood fast.. Lmao... I know Tons about track.. Dummy!!! I know Pro Coaches, I know Pro runners that tell me what's going on... Sorry for your worthless spectator life

  • all ur mother fuckers shut up u guys dont know wat the hell the mans thinking damn always negative comments....

  • Call it what u want.. He's giving him credit, but he's over doing it.. You have to read between the lines..

  • Johnson throwing sublimenal shots at Bolt.. He's calling bolt a cheater.. Talking about the 100 finals and how he blew the field away with other runners running under 9.9

  • @Shutupunk FAIL! He is not calling him a cheater! He is nothing but amazed, and thinks nothing but good things about Usain Bolt!

  • If u equate proper strength and endurance training u suppose to be able to double your 200 meter time and add 4 seconds.. Puts MJ at 42.6-7.. Instead of 43.18...

  • MICHAEL STILL HAS ANOTHER RECORD THATS NOT BROKEN. im his nephew .seriously

  • BOLT HAS EVEN BIGGER BUTT THAN JOHNSON - STATISTICS FROM

    BR-0 com/olympics htm

    with .'s

  • How wrong was Michael Johnson that the Bolt would not break his record in beijing lmao.

  • About 2 hundreds of a second?

  • Bolt could run the 400m also and probably smash Johnson's record. He'll run 42.80. Think about it. He could jog through in 21 flat then have plenty in the tank to break the record. He'll slow down, but so does almost everyone. Rick Mitchell used to run even splits, but just about everyone dies at the end.

  • @bootymanager Bolt's 19.19 on the mercier score calculator = 42.15 it is the greatest track and field mark ever! Also to tie his mark in the long jump you would have to jump 29 feet 71/2 inches.

    bayhollwod

  • no he couldn't, trust me Bolt doesnt have the stamina for the 400m race i assure you..he will run out of steam in the last leg of the track for sure.

  • lmao he was so wrong!

  • 400m in the stars for Bolt;)

  • I like how everyone flames michael johnson while he still holds a 400m record no one has come near yet.

  • @WarrenNesteruk wasnt Michael on drugs though. i'm just saying not much to boast about.

  • @IMPgenesis No, Johnson wasn't on drugs. You would be thinking of Ben Johnson, but Michael Johnson never used drugs.

  • @phastman1994 I beg to differ. Youtube won't allow me to post the link, however if you google Dr Wade Exum, the Chief Dr at the US Olympic Committee who quit because he refused to be implicated in the continued injection of the athletes. In his article to ESPN he claims the athletes were injected because of the stress of them getting Medals. He refused, resigned & sued. That's why the IOC requires drug tests for US athletes are now processed in Australia.

  • @Justanotherhuman2 Until proven I won't accuse anyone, I never said it's impossible Michael Johnson was dirty but theres no proof he was so it's impossible to know. He's one of the greatest and I think he's clean.

  • @IMPgenesis could*

  • @WarrenNesteruk Bolt will get it lol just wait and see

  • @WarrenNesteruk

    + 300m record too

  • @WarrenNesteruk no one is catching that record it's been standing since 1996.

  • @WarrenNesteruk Bolt can break the 400m record if he wants.....he jus doesnt like to run that distance

  • "He'll run about 19.50, not 19.32, but he will eventually".

    How about 19.30 last year and 19.19 Michael Johnson? Usain was like "fuck running it eventually, how about I just do it NOW, and beat the record every year I run"...LOL!!

  • what the hell is wrong with everybody? michael is talking really nice stuff about bolt.. him being wrong about his 200m WR at the olympics is just a shame.. michael said he was gonna get it eventually, so why do you flame him?

  • Please mr Johsoon... what do you think about 9.58 bolt's record in 100 m.... and 19.19 in 200 m.???????

    mr johnsoon???

  • Good, intelligent interview & comments.

  • boy was his prediction wrong!

  • 19.19s talk dat....

  • and what about 9.58 :)

  • Looks like he was wrong about Usain Bolt breaking the 200m record in Beijing! =0

  • Comment removed

  • Hey guys why so upset against MJ? He did something extraordinary with 19:32 in Atlanta. And in this interview he was right. U need endurance for the 200. No one could predict the world record by Bolt. I mean, great for Bolt but respect also for MJ!! Fastkid is right imagine a race with MJ and UB in their prime time. The race of the century.

  • He wasn't stupid when he said 19.5, who would have predicted such a drop in times from bolts previous pr in 200, he did something similar to what Johnson did when he broke his own world record by so much, i still respect Johnson alot, you know bolt only beat the record by .02 seconds which is only a foot or two regardless of the headwind, i wish these two were in their prime at the same time, greatest 200 race ever

  • fastid..how about today's record 19.19...

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!

  • yep spot on with 19.5

    wonder what he will predict for the 400m?

  • In ur face MJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lol...Michael...'Not this year...'. A wonder how u felt havin to swallow those words...19.5...Oh come on not even seh 19.3 + Hmmm...Jamaica to the worl'.US nuh hav dis nuh more...

  • @cmenting what did bolt run in the 200m that year, that race in which he was talking about?

  • Michael Johnson stay on the BEEB. Absolutely love hearing you, you're a god!!!! Stay with it Britain loves you man!!!!! :)

  • wat do u mean he's wrong....he was right..He said Usain was gonna break the 200m WR and he definitely did.....and I know there's more to come

  • MJ-- wrong again bud!!!

  • yes 150m in 14s and under heavy rain and in the begining of season and in low altitude, thats ridiculouse, i think bolt in hight altitude and perfect condition he can run 150m in 7 s, witch is ridiculouse, i was inspired by Michael, those records of now turn my stomac, if they are not fake they are then not fair

  • Michael johnson was an exception, and u have to know his ful story...what it took him before he runs 19,3s. bolt is not an exception only he is too tal, do u honnestly think if bolt was tal as Michael, do u realy think he would also run 19,3s? no of course, no normal guy can run 19,3s..as i sayed the human limit is arround 19,6s..in some conditions possible until 19,5s as maximum. but this giraffe bolt he wil run regulary even under 19s, witch is ridiculouse

  • Shut up "legendair'. You are just saying that bolt should not be allowed to run because he is tall, do you know how freaking ignorant you sound? Don't be mad because you are age 24 and 4' 11".

  • legendair ur an absolute idiot to actually speak... surely u must know your an idiot. ?

  • i bet their weight doesnt differ too much regardless of hight. hight isn't a factor when it comes to sprinting...long legs are an advantage..so boo hoo to shorter sprinters

  • what i mean is that bolt is too tal with too long strides, he finish 100m only in few staps, thats not fair for other normal athlets..no matter about skill, if he was tal as Michael johnson for example he would never run under 19,6s..no human can run under 19,6s

  • your a fuckwit

  • bolt is too tal they should verbied him to run against normal guys. also that 19,3s i stil beleave that that record is belang to the great Michael johnson. Michael spended so many years working so hard before runing 19,3s. this bolt comes from nowhere to run the same. it is just not fair, i think in future they wil verbied too tal guys to run against normal guys, look at the different between bolt and michael frater, i guess 1 meter

  • As much respect as I have for Johnson, I think he had it completely wrong here.

    Bolt's world record breaking performances come from his top-end speed. His acceleration is nothing special, because as you have seen from the 100m final at Beijing, he only started pulling away during the 2nd half of the race. Because of this top-end speed, I was pretty sure Johnson's world record for the 200m was going down, the question was by how much.

  • i stil see the real world record of 200m is the 19,32s of the great Michael johnson. i know bolt is not a bad guy, but sorry i find it not fair to allow him to run, he is too tal, not normal, he is only 21 and he ecalised the record of Michael witch everybody tought that 19,3 wil stand for ever..i think bolt when he wil be 25years he wil run 200m in 13s, and 5 km in 9 mn, and the marathon in 1, 22 hour ..he is an too tal giraffe . last time he run 150m in rain in 14s!! brrr

  • Michael johnson thought he would run 19:5....lol

  • bolt corrected him for sure!!! :)

  • and did you watch bolt in 100m final bejin2008? he stopt when it stil 10m to go and stil it was 9,6s !!!i think if he run seriously it would be 8 s, and he is only 21 years, so at his 25 i guess he wil run 100m in 6 s, as an fast too tal giraffe , they should not allow him to run against normal guys

  • ANZ089. Well that's your opinion.

    Asafa is outstanding but to be the best you have to beat the best. Bolt BEAT the best , broke the record AND slowed down in the end.

    I love Asafa but he was outclassed this time round.

    Bolt - 100 meter world record - 200 meter world record  - 100 meter Olympic record - 200 meter Olympic record - the only man in history to hold 4 sprint records at one time, not to mention at the Olympics!

    How is it that hes not the most gifted?

  • he also has the 4x1 relay record.

  • in relay jamaica need only 3 athlets, the first 2 athlets must run 120m to each one and the rest for bolt alone he is too tal, 150m is like 100m for him.

  • Mike is right !!

    Boltis the most amazing, powerful, fastest, talented sprinter to be created by god. Easily. But in-order for Bolt to run a 9.5. he has to be speeding up after 68 meters and naturally as a sprinter you decelerate at that point. Meaning it wont be possible giving the fastest starting time allowed combined with Bolts fastest speed +.09 Mps....

    Mike is a cool dude.

    5 STARS !!

  • you are wrong, asafa is the most gifted and telented sprinter on earth

  • deffinetly not

  • hes full of shit, when he ran against bailey in the fastest man in the world race at 150 he was gettin killed all the way thru before he pussyed out and pretended to pull a muscle.

  • oh yea what a pussy, as well all know, pussys regularly drop 19.6s in the 200 and 43.2s in the 400

  • lol

  • correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't King Carl 6'2?????

  • How the great M Johnson couldn't see that Bolt didn't need that speed resistance to break his WR. MJ's PB was 10,10 aprox, so he needed a lot of resistance to make his 19,32, but this guy could've ran easily in 9,50!! It is still not a big margin for a pure sprinter, but Bolt is suposed to be precisely a specialist of the 200 m!!

  • Here we learn Usain's height wasn't necesscarily an advantage, but at disadvantage. He work really hard over came a mountain. This is no easy thing, NBA dudes like Kobe or Lebron could never imagine to run this fast, and those guys are fast and strong guys.

  • Thats not completely true, some people are fast when there say 12 but if you grow tall when your young you don't as control over your body usain was fully devolped by the time he grew tall. This has been proven so it works to an advantge

  • and that creates your turnovers so usain bolt is very very fast and that is some of because his height (which is not that big of a factor) and his natural talent and speed. MY parents always tell me this.."you are born a sprinter" but you can be taught to sprint but you still need talent. so height can help him alittle but it just means he has to work harder and have faster turnovers and armswings and folds.

  • quadassio, i am not trying to down you but educate you in the world of track... i run track and i run the 100m 200m and 400m and longer legs has nothing to do with your speed because when i was in my younger days and by young i mean 7-13 i was the shortest person in my age group and yes i won all of my races but my point is that i won against taller people.. it is actually a disadvantage because the taller you are the quicker you have to get your legs off the ground then slam them back down

  • And how tall was Carl Lewis...hint....6'2

  • Mah boy Johnson ate those word right after lol

    you gotta that guy :-)

  • you gotta love that guy i meant

  • Michael Johnson and usain bolt are both fast. michael used to be the fastest 100 and 200m thn usain broke them hmm i think these two should have a run xD

  • WTF ?

    Usain Bolt is a 200m runner and Johnson a 200-400m runner.

    Johnson never did a 100m under 10 seconds but on 200-400 he's a f**** beast .

  • michael used to also hold the 100m w.r once aswell as 200 and 400

  • Michael did not run 100m, but 200 and 400

  • omg u are idiots.. it has nothing to do with height or weight ,, too bad.. hes the fastest man in the world, thats it.

    he is amazing

  • Actually it has nothing to really do with weight. But height does play a factor. Imagine a 20 ft person running against a 4 ft person.(Just an illustration, don't be an asshole about it) A 4ft person would get dust. Longer legs can gain more ground so he doesn't have to run as hard a shorter people.

  • bolt is too tal,not norma, otherwise he would never equalise the 19,3 of the great Michael. the fifa should verbied bolt to run against normal guys,they should change the rules in athletics like in boxing for example, u cant let a guy of 50 kg to fight against someone of 100kg..bolt also with 2m tal is not fair to see him runing against frater

  • lol....this isnt football mate....FIFA have no say .... just like you have no clue.

  • Michael johnson spended more than a decate before to run 19,3s..this giraff bolt comes from nowhere and he also run 19,3..it is just not faire, the FIFA of footbal should ferbied him to run against normal guys

  • Fighting is a whole different sport, weight classes are need. In sprints, fast people are around 6 foot, taller people are generally not as quick. If it was because of Usain's height alone (and not his speed) than all the sprinters in the Olympics would be tall.

  • everybody say tal people are not souple to run fast, but i dont see that on bolt, he is souple,and then being too tal what i find not fair..again the great Michael spended so many years before he run 19,3s, bolt he just start runing,only 21 years,none knows him and so al of sudden he equalise that 19,3 !!witch a lot of people were thinking that record of 19,3 wil stand for ever. u find this fair/normal?

  • So what you're saying is that it's not fair that he's the world's fastest man because he is tall. SO, ONE CAN ALSO SAY it's not fair that someone like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a better basketball player than Spud Webb. So in other words, someone like kareem shouldn't be allowed to play in the NBA let alone compete in the Olympics because he is taller than an average basketball player because *sarcastically* it must be his height alone that makes him so good.

  • also in basketbal the federation was talking once about limitating the height of players..and i guess they do that the maximum should be at 2,20m(am not sure). in other sport like boxing they put cathegories, in this sens i find it not fair that bolt should be alowd to run against frater. if bolt was tal as normal i dont beleave he would equalize 19,3s of Michael

  • you are a legendair idiot

  • hi winker

  • HaHa Johnson predicted 19.5 just goes to show you how great usain is.

  • For heaven's sake stop whinging!!!

  • u find it faire that bolt too tal with 2m to run again michael frater of 1,70m ? it is like boxing of 2 guys one weight 100 kg and the other 50 kg

  • you're a moron. The sport of sprinting has NO boundaries...thats what's so great about it...everyone no matter how friggin tall competes on the same stage for WORLD champion at the olympics...there is no fuckn "too tall" ...that's just a moronic argument...why compare boxing to a sport that adheres to a completely different concept, with completely different rules?

  • u think so, but it is not fair to see bolt runing again michael frater, bolt needs only 50 strides to reach the finish lane, frater needs 100 strides..u see in peking bolt stoped before finish lane while normal guys stil coming..in that race it shows realy that too tal guys should not race against normal guys

  • lmao...you're just repeating the same points you raised last time you posted - except this time your english is even more-so poor than it was before.

    What the hell are you talking about? Honestly...its not his fault that hes tall...its not their fault their short...deal with it. The sport was constructed in a way that it DIDNT have to categorise you in terms of heigh. And thats fuckn how it should be...the second fastest man in the world isnt the second tallest mate. Sorry.

  • i have to repeat what i sayed, cauz some people couldnt read the old messages. am not anglophone idiot, i speak more other languages than englich, u have another question idiot?

  • you are a fucking idiot.

  • however the best one ever is Michael johnson. if Michael was too tal as bolt i guess he would run 200m in 14s. bolt should not be alowed to run..too tal it is not fair to let him lane up with frater for example

  • stop. you are so retarded that it only degrades society. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN TRACK IN FIELD OR SPORTS FOR THAT MATTER. STFU

  • my pb in 5000m is 14,32mn, i had run and won many races. again about bolt, what i beleave is that almost everybody tought that the record 19,3s of the great Michael johnson wil last for ever..sudenly comes this too tal guy blot and run also 19,3s , but again i stil beleave no a normal guy wil be able to break Michaels johnson, except if he is too tal like bolt witch is not normal and not fair . bolt should also try long jump, he can jump 20 m i guess with that too tal trids

  • stop. you are a fucking moron.

  • Comment removed

  • D you know how ignorant you sound????...thats just like sayin we should keep tall ppl from playing other sports just as basketball and football...shut you ass up bro

  • stfu u little baby, im 5ft4 and im 19 year old, i dont cry about taller people, so stfu little faggot

  • You are a very foolish man. There is no doubt he is the best ever. And he's only 22 years old! What's it matter how tall he is? He ran the 100 and 200 faster than any man ever before. He's a freak. You have no evidence to suggest he's not the greatest of all time. He broke the 100m WR into a headwind!! Embrace this once in a lifetime talent. I won't be surprised if he breaks Johnson's 400m record somewhere along the way. Heck, he could probably break 9m in the long jump as well.

  • i know, u have right, i guess he can win marathon also if he try,and it wil be for sure under 1,30 h time and even swiming, none can beat him..he is not tal normal as people. i think in long jump he can jumbe 15 m easily and in hight jumbe 3 m. even boxing none can beat him

  • What's wrong with your English... it's horrible.

    No, I doubt he would win the marathon, I doubt he could be a good swimmer, he couldn't jump 15m (I said 9), he couldn't jump 3m high and no, he probably wouldn't be a good boxer either. Just the events which I mentioned.

    Your post wasn't clever, funny, or even typed in English. And I still don't understand what your problem with height is?

  • i speak other languages and am from an froncophone countery. and actualy your englich is more horrible than mine, u try to elevate your self by this shity language, however u only put your self dow like an idiot

  • is it me or do michael johnson look alot like eddiemurphy in beverly hills cop 1

  • Yeah, he reminds of eddie murphy :P

  • hahahaaaa. i agreed. michael? is that you eddie?

  • Yow!!! fuck dat shithead... he set a drugged up WR, Then retired in the peak of his career, (who he foolin). Bolt beat that 200 record he thebest, no fukin arguement needed

  • i have a lot of respect for MJ, and altho his prediction was wrong, he wasn't dissing usain bolt! he was being very supportive and saying he will beat the record one day, it just happened to be his feeling that it might not be this year. he can't predict the future and got it wrong this time. but i watched the BBC coverage with him commentating on usain's new world record. he was very humble and did nothing but praise usain, calling him incredible and congratulating him. usain bolt the greatest!

  • Dont diss one of the greatest athletes in the world and also one of the true gentlemen of the sport

  • Hahaha "He is going to break the 200m record BUT not this year" hahahaha...Hey Michael tell me how yuh foot taste now..hahaha...a hope yuh season it with some salt and pepper....hahahaha

  • Michael was a legend and is wonderful human being..not like wicked, envious american drug cheat carl lewis.

    And Bolt is the best athlete ever. Period.

  • no bolt is just too tal, not fair to cal him the best ever..if he was tal as normal people he wil never equalise that 19,3 of Michael

  • Johnson didn't have a pop at Bolt, he was biggin him up! After all those rounds at 100 and 200 it was highly unlikely Bolt would have done it. Whats more the record at 200 was a brilliant one at that!Johnson did say that Bolt will beat his record.

  • he's gonna break it but not this year.. Lmao.. fuckin asshole.. how can u underestimate someone u don't kno much about and someone u are not running against.. micheal u need to shut da puck up.. yes.. puck... Lmao

  • lol @ not goin to happen this year lol i guess he took back his words after he broke it lol

  • le ultime parole famose....non batterà il mio 19,32!!!!!!

  • also i agree with jeckel .2 is more like a foot. and usain is only 22. mj was my favourite runner of all time. WAS. now hes second, usain bloodclart bolt. Jamaica represent!

  • mj never took juice u hating bstards, & as for the "it doesnt matter till he does it on.." no, he ran the heats for the 100 and 200 before tht, imagine he didnt do the 100... he wouldnt have had to grimace thru the 200.. usain bolt fastest man ever, hope he turns to the 400, and maybe 1 day 800 lol.. seriously tho he cud win medals at 400 and u never know...this guy is unbelievable. he'll break his 100 record again, no doubt about it, dont know about the 200 tho, twas already close 2 impossible

  • I'm a bolt fan but i don't think the 200 record maters until he does it on a tartan surface (the normal ones), because the nest's surface is a freaky new rubbery flexible thing that has a slight slingshot effect, it was very publicised during the races. So to take 0.02 out of johnson's time in the 200 would obviously be a slower effort in a tartan surface. They said it would improve almost 5 percent on someon'es performance, so michael is still the men on 200 m

  • mate u dont know the proper details now do you?...johnson is great!...but he did it into a +0.4 TAIL wind...usain is the greatest doing it into a -0.9 HEAD wind...now the surface makes no differnece wen compared to the head or tail wind...usain is the greater athleteits a matter of time until usain takes the 400 WR

  • rubbish!!

  • your not a bolt fan shut the huk up. biyatch

  • hahaha the freaky quartermiler loses his record to the freaky giant. I'm glad that fucker lost his record, since he juiced to the max to try and make it stand forever.  Too bad their is always another man waiting in the wings to one-up other man. Johnson was the only man I've seen in a while who could remain bulky while doing insane aerobic style 400 meter training.

  • Bulky? He wasn't that big.

  • go and watch his races from 96 400m and 200m. He was the only dominant 400-200 who did insane aerobic/strength style 400m training(long runs with short recovery) and was able to remain bulky and cut up. Compare him to the other 400 runners in the Atlanta OG final and compare him to the other 200 runners in the Atlanta OG final. Mike Johnson, the freaky quartermiler, was bigger than the 100-200 doublers in fredericks and boldon who would do less aerobic strength style runs.

  • that was so funny, "he will break the 200 metre record, it is just not going to happen this year".... boo yah he did it he did it he did it wooohooo

  • michael johnson you have to give ratings where due. u took drugs and bolts did not and he still break ur record. im soom break ur 400 record too. and to all ur pussy holes out there who saying bolt showing off and im should should respect uno go suck uno madda (mother) all ato bolton suck yuh madda

  • whats wrong with this guy, you biggin the man up then saying he needs work blah blah myute go hold a seat and shut up

  • he's not gonna break it this year...??lmao...eat ur fuckin words son...lol FUCK OUTTA HERE..!

  • honestly, jonhson was right, i mean keep in mind usain just turned 22 and johnson did say that it was very possible and that eventually usain was gonna take his record, so why hating on johnson when nobody expected usain to do what he did, and johnson knows this kid has an incredibe potential, he even said it, this guy cant be duplicated at 6'5 and so explosive

  • nobody expected it? well sorry but i think everyone did. Usain blew out his competition in the 100m race. Considering the 200 was his specialty, i think everyone expected him to do it.

  • Johnson was a great athelete and hopefully he'll stay commentating for BBC rather than do US TV and speak to these retards who try to ruin his great acheivements, this guy is like Woods, Jordan, Federer, Sampras, one of the best on the planet and a regular guy not some posing tossbag like Maurice Greene was...go listen to some crap chingy video or something rather than diss one of the best sportsmen of all time
