Yea I definitely feel asafa has more in the tank, if its enough to give bolt a run for his money I doubt it, but hes definitely suffering from stage fright in the past. If he can get past this like he did in berlin he could run some decent times this year.
A great athlete. I was thrilled by how the Jamaicans shattered the 4 x 1 WR by a full three-tenths second...Powell finished that memorable Beijing race in style!
Asafa needs to attend meditation classes. He is the fastest 100m runner on earth. I feel he is even better than Bolt for 100m. He seems to be losing his focus in major races. He needs to get over this fast. He has the best movement of any 100m runner
I sincerely differ on your opinion, the fact that Powell lost the concentration on the big occasion, does not detract from his personal best (9.72)
Something that I do agree is that he is an accelerator by excellence, but he lacks of top-speed, something that Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay have to spare.
Bolt and Gay are the only sprinter in history who have managed to break the 44 KPH speed-limit. This achievement was made in Berlin by both of them.
@sonofthedestroyer i think the same as you do, i think he would be better than bolt in the 100m but he is always losing his focus, maybe someone should hyonotize him before a major event.
Bronze for Asafa in the 2009 World Championships final. Best career finish for him at a major event. Great to see the breakthrough. Bronze is a huge achievement in that final. Bolt - 9.58, Gay - 9.71, Powell - 9.84. Congrats Asafa!
AppleDGreen, you can't feel nothing but love from Safa (that's what he was called when he was younger. I don't know about now). He was grown in a Christian home and his mom is a pwerful evangelist. Sure dad does his thing, but mom is rather humble and POWERFUL. Let his love unite us all. Regards
Whatever they say of Asafa, he is our neo-Bob Marley. By this I mean it is he, who helped the world to rediscover Jamaica. Had there been no Asafa others would have no 9.77 to aspire to. Asafa, you have proven yourself over and over Asafa. Be encouraged by someone you have never seen at least not since you entered pre-primer as I left the area. I used to hold Asafa at church in my arms. Asafa needs not know me, but know this, I support Asafa all the way. SAFA: A so mi seh.

asfa's record isnt 9.84 but 9.72.
thekingoffutbol 2 years ago
Correct. But his time in this race was 9.84.
He had his best career FINISH in a major event in Berlin, not his personal best time.
Powell's PB is 9.72 after he held WRs at 9.74 and 9.77.
