Lausanne GP Men's 100m - Asafa Powell 9.72s

[michaelangelflyer988]

i wish he'll learn to thrust the line but not easing his pace

[ghune]

he makes very short steps...

[dsupermanb]

@ghune is it? his step is 2.6m

[titusbrambleisahero]

If he didnt bottle it in every major race Bolt would have SERIOUS competition

[MrKarlozz]

Asafa Powell is the best! Fuck Bolt ;) (just kidding)

[dawgyblack]

The man with the record most sub 10s in his career... By my last count it had reached 63... Hope he gets too 100 before his career is over

[b45100]

Asafa Powell can compete with bolt if he runs like this

[MalanDrec]

can asafa powell beat the current world record?

[planbsk8r130]

@MalanDrec i mean noone reallly knows how fast asafa is capable of running cause when he runs these times there is no pressure and he doesnt try as hard when there is pressure he runs 9.8 even 9.9 so i dont think he can beat 9.5 but i think he could have reached a time in the 9.6s in his all time career but he has peaked now though so we will never know

[SuperMhouston]

@MalanDrec idk man cuz when he races tyson gay he knows the gay has blazing top end speed when u see at the end of the races powell always slows down

[MalanDrec]

Can asafa powell break the current world recor of 9.58? And why you think that?

[666soevil]

@MalanDrec it would be a mirecle if bolt broke that record. asafa will go 9.6 thats it bolt is the only man alive that have a chance of reaching that record

[theleafchunin]

Powell has already reached his full potential

[43aaronlewis]

@theleafchunin he has never run through the line mate the guy could run 9.6 if there was no pressure

[phastman1994]

@theleafchunin You kiddin? Powell never reached his full potential, if he wasn't such a choker he could have been 07 world champion, maybe even 04 Olympic champion and would have gone sub 9.7 by now.

[YungahScarpz]

I wonder if Asafa will get a 9.6

[mojomatt176]

if the wind was 2.0 that couldve been a 9.67

[fightjunge24]

@mojomatt176 9.62 or somethoing

[jacezz123]

i think asafa is in a great position to surprise everyone in 2010. Usain bolt takes all the attention and pressure off of him. I think he can run 9.6x

[suzukihondacivic3398]

that would have surely been a world record if he didnt slow down. but now the record is 9.58.

[nexxlinq]

he needs to stop slowing dwn

[100mlfcguy]

@nexxlinq hes not doing it on purpose, its his deceleration.

[nexxlinq]

@100mlfcguy tru but if he stop doin dat e can problly run a 9.6 suthing

[100mlfcguy]

@nexxlinq yeah i agree but itll be hard for him to learn now tho

[100mlfcguy]

Oh sorry, yeah he ran 9.75 in the semis tho

[suzukihondacivic3398]

@100mlfcguy that's ok

[100mlfcguy]

No he didnt, he ran 9.80 at the diamond league yesterday but it was wind-aided (+2.3) so just over

[suzukihondacivic3398]

today he ran 9.75 at the diamond league.......exciting 2010 season for him

[Apache3619]

that would be like a 9.5 if he had put his body first in the last part , srry bad english , hope u get the idea.

[2012Friday13]

omg, get over it, bolt is better than powell, its just true, just like my friend is faster than me!

[djdan151]

look there's a white white guy!!! wait.......no .... sorry u guys

[Mastrich1]

Cmmon asafa!, i know u r the best ever!!!!!!!!!

[Mrnotyandao]

If he didn't slowed down he could break the record

[whitehawk38]

powell is my favorite. lets run a 9.40 asafa, if it's in you

[50centricher9]

damb right powel represent

[v1das007]

I like him more then Bolt :/. Bolt acts like retarded, u can take it as jokes, but i don't believe he will improve a lot. Just doesn't seem too smart to take his chance, although he is very talented. On the other hand, Powell looks like a real man, real sportsman.

[404Orion]

Too bad you feel like that about Usain , but if you pay attention you'll see his antics is just playing to & entertain the crowd , & if you know him or hear some good interviews with him you'll see they're not dealing with a dummy , actually when out of the spotlight Asafa is the jovial , playful one Bolt is more interverted & quiet , but he understands that you have to entertain the crowd thats how he makes his money , don't believe everything you see

[thekingoffutbol]

Damn!

If he didnt slow the last 10m down he coulde run something in the 9.60!

[Sh0ebakA]

still not good enough fro the 9.58 of usain bolt lol

[BRUNO2089]

2.2 +?

[Kavehisftw]

0.2 :p

[jfhghghgh75655]

yeah powell gets scared when up against someone who has run 9.7 and therefore doesnt consentrate and therefore doesnt perform to his standards therefore loosing the race but as you always seee by a little bit unless he gives up literally like in beijing 2008 or osaka

[ronaldinho1072]

i think if bolt was in this race he would have oushed powell harder and powell could have gotten 9.67 i think

[puljacina]

hmm no..if bolt was in this race powell would have shited in his pants as usual when he runs against bolt or gay!!!!

[ronaldinho1072]

powell has beaten bolt and gay he does not get nervious from them he gets nervous in a big final beacuse everyone expects him 2 do good if he had bolt running with him here he would have tryed harder 2 stay with him and would have gotten a better time

[badbitch560]

i wish i can run like that

[GameGod64]

mjdFT9, your a fucking idiot! why in hell would they compete the olympis and not try?

asafa powell is at his peek at this point but mabe not usain bolt

asafa powell is not going under 9.65 any time soon maybe sub 9.70 while usain bolt on the other hand is cabale already he is going to run 9.60 at best

[Sundin456]

You mean 9.58!!!!!!!

[chubble101]

lol hey gamegod .. "9.60 at BEST" ... usain bolt making us all look like idiots man lol...

[thekingoffutbol]

dude its 9.58

[chubble101]

i was replying to user- gamegod...who said he would do 9.60 at best!

[mjdFT9]

oh fuck me he would've broken world record if he tried

powell and bolt would both get under 9.65 tryin their hardest, no doubt

[thekingoffutbol]

i agree with you

[pampersvaippa]

And that was run in a +0,2 m/s wind. On friday in Brussels if we get +2,0 m/s we may see 9.59 from Asafa :)

[Lobster2811]

Jamaica has the most talented sprinters. Amazing improvements of the world record at the 100m the last years. :)

[yannickedwards]

9.67 is next

[phaethon1988]

by Tyson Gay! :)

[ultimatesora91]

Big man performs when he has no pressure on him. Asafa is the man, only Bolt is better. This is coming from Mo Greene lover...

[pacus123]

Mo Greene was a drug cheat.

[picnite]

Nah pacus, Mo Green was no cheat. Well I hope not as I rate as him best pre-Bolt sprinter of all time. If Asafa had won a big one he would've been the greatest.

[1meGigo]

Asafa is a legend. Only Bolt is better.

[sequiaonda78]

Bolt has run only once run faster, but that does not mean that Bolt is better, Asafa has the Record for more sub 9.80 sec runs and also he has more sub-9.90 races than anyone, and he has the second largest amount of sub 10 secs races of all time only behind Green. But I think next season Asafa will break the record of 56 sub-10 sec races of Green. Asafa has 48 sub-10 sec races.

[gokuryam]

this is because bolt has only started running the 100 for a few months!! tho, i still think both of them are gr8 sprinters=] jamaicans are sprint kings!!

[GameGod64]

You're an idiot no doubt.

Just because you get many 70s doesn't make you a better student than the one who just joined ur class, and got 90s the first 2 tests.

Usain Bolt will be running sub 10s EVERY run... Gtfo with your retarded "logic".

[muzicalife]

this man is the most talented sprinter under no pressure.

[ANZO89]

@muzicalife totally agree, he is the fastest man under no pressure. i think asafa with a mentality like bolt, gay or gatlin would make a 9.49 in the london olimpic final.

[LayEmOut60]

@ANZO89 I'd say closer to a lower 9.6, but yea I agree with your concept.

[marlonexs]

YO WHAT WHAT YEA NOW MOA FUCKAS WHA!!!

[theIegend2626]

who want to test us ?

[SameOldG]

nice
