Tyson Gay Impressive 9.77 US Trials

[sokha326]

lol love how the commentator says "here comes Spearmon too" and he's like last

[mamowolde]

think about it..Ben johnson had the world record already..an carl was after it...then at the olympic trials carl lewis ran the fastest wind aided time ever...9.78 but at the olympics ben johnson storms to a legel 9.79.

hmmmits a flashback between carl an ben to usain an tyson

[supaman321123]

He would be the most dominant sprinter of his time and an american hero if it weren't for usain bolt

[jphoenix001]

Strange timer : 9'8 euh no sorry 9'77...

Strange.

[olympicrodriguez]

Please take your little quarrels somewhere else and leave the wall for people who actually want to comment on the video! Thanks

[sportdude08]

[DirkMcQuigly]

"thnx for admitiing your a complete dumabss"

"only idiots like u say that...."

Ah, the irony, pwns himself again...

[sportdude08]

dang you keep getting powned damn your to easy dude no wonder u always gett cheate don hahah. powende dbitch aha

[DirkMcQuigly]

just like I pwned your mother...didn't I bitch?

[legitballer14]

i dont think people should write off gay just yet. Im not sure if he'll win bt i mean hes gt a shot in the olympic final

[Bonfender]

hahaha gay..

[broadjumper1]

hahaha...you're an idiot...

[thelegend2626]

anyone hwo come son here and talks shit about any track runner and how their on drugs doesnt know a dman thing about track. because only a dumbass sprinter would be a idiot to take part of a program thats testes blood and uruin weekly. that being said stop be so ignorant.

[thegriffder]

look people if they are on drugs they will get cought.

p.s asafa powell ftw :)

[elpablodpelpa]

Actually Asafa is tested more(lol). But seriously, although I dont like swearing for sprinters, I would like to believe that Tyson is one of the clean ones.

[ghoulunaticdylan]

tyson gay :p what a name :p

[mussyson]

drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs druggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­gggggggggs

[RBGdUP]

if you honestly believe that, you know absoulutely nothing about track and nothing about tyson gay.

[chocyB]

What? Why wouldnt he be taking drugs? What makes him so different to all other 100m sprinters that makes you so sure he isnt a drugs cheat when there is so much suspision hanging over all of the worlds top sprinters?

[RBGdUP]

okay, ur from the UK, the reason your athletes suck so much is probably because of all of the Earl Grey Tea they drink. lol jk jk, but seriously you don't know much about american sprinting, and obviously you have no idea what type of person Tyson is. plus he is being blood tested and urine tested, more than any athlete out there. If you asked me, the steroid era in America is pretty much over, most of the guys you see nowadays are just young kids who love track...

[chocyB]

I respect your point of view and maybe im just being cynical, but there have been so many big names, especially in american sprinting, that have been caught. It has really dragged the sport through the mud. I am a lover of the sport, like yourself, and maybe im extra cynical due to the state british sprinting is in at the moment (dwain chambers anyone? lol). Oh and btw, i love the banter considering im not really that english (mother's carrabien and dad's welsh). Peace out mate!

[thelegend2626]

dude did u not just hear the its over everyone is gettin blood or urine tested

[afluitt38]

There are plenty of "big-name" American sprinters in the last 10 years that have never tested positive or been seriously investigated for doping: -Michael Johnson, 200/400 WR -Maurice Greene, former 100 WR -Gail Devers, 100 OC -Shawn Crawford, 200 OC -Lauryn Williams, former 100 WC -Tyson Gay, 100/200 WC -Allyson Felix, 200 WC, OQ -Sanya Richards, 400 AR -Jeremy Wariner, 400 OC -Walter Dix, 200 CR, 100/200 OQ -Wallace Spearmon, 4x100 WC -Xavier Carter, 100/400 NCAA champ

[afluitt38]

The steroid era is not over by any means. Strict doping policies and testing regimens were in place long before the BALCO scandal and dopers will continue to be exposed. But to assume that Gay must also be doping just because he's winning races, even without any shred of evidence, is illogical.

[thelegend2626]

lmfao strict testing is donw now days and if they dont catch u know they will eventually so im sure these athletes are stupid enuf to get caught and face everyone plus look at all the spruinters there arnt no mena rivals all are greta sportnmanship from all countries now days.

[IgniteMyRockets]

tyson gay is part of a large drug testing program that tests him and many other pro athletes weekly.

[sizzlacalunji]

How does bolts 9.72 works out slower than Asafa 9.74. Logically it doesnt work out u know that right?

[broadjumper1]

Powell 9.74 + 1.7 = 9.86, not 9.83, A Simply typo

[phaethon1988]

it is a 9.83...in Rieti.

[broadjumper1]

I checked again and that's right. Again, all this shows is all three are very closely matched.

[slizzoff]

that jesse owens suit must be working for him

[bamboom55]

u must be very blind......he did like 10-15 meters to go

[sizzlacalunji]

I didn't give u that -ve stripe.

[sizzlacalunji]

Up to now I cant see where he eased until he reach the finish line......

He tried easing up like Asafa and Bolt and came 4th....When those Ja guys ease up they still win the race.

The only thing Gay has, is the mental aptitude. Lets hope he has that advantage when time comes. If not he's coming third.

[NOPN]

You're just on Bolt and Asafa's nuts. When the Jamaicans run fast, its at a meet that doesn't matter.

At the Olympics and World Championships Jamaicans crack under the pressure. Like Asafa did in Osaka and Athens.

[sizzlacalunji]

Bolt n Asafa get crazy chicks, I never seen their nuts Battyman, nor do I want to.

Fact. Gay almost didnt make it.

Jamaicans perfromed at Olympics and World Champions. Asafa was the let down.

Fact. Jamaica is currently ranked 5th.

Fact. Asafa's stride is longer than Gay. So is Bolt's.

WR is 9.72. Jamaican OWNS it. Fact.

The only thing Gay has is the mental and that makes him a formidable contestant which is why he performs vs. Afasfa at big meets.

No mental. Gay loses.

[NOPN]

Fact: Tyson still made it.

Fact: Tyson beat Asafa when it mattered.

Fact: Tyson beat Usian when it mattered.

Fact: Tyson has two world titles.

Fact: Usian and Asafa have no world titles.

Fact: Tyson's stride frequency & top end is better than Usian and Asafa.

Fact: The mental aspect can make or break a career. Asafa is the Jamaican Leroy Burell.

[sizzlacalunji]

Well NOPN ur in some denial.

No one denies Asafas inconsistencies.

When Gay made his debut at World Champs he came in 4th.

Usain Bolt debut? 2nd for the 2 events. Now he the fastest man on earth after runnin the 100 for the 5th time. U ok wit that?

My statement still stands.

The times prove it. Only thing Gay has is the mental fortitude. If he doesnt have that he has a slim chance of winning.

The times and wind factor tells the tale.

Gay knows this. Peace.

[broadjumper1]

sizzlacalunji, talk abouy pickin gnat shit outta pepper, NONE of the stuff you say means a dman thing!

The times mean little to nothing. Do I REALLY need to show you how mant times the WR holder didn't win the Olympic Gold medal?

The "Only thing Gay has is the mental fortitude"

Are you nuts? He has a track record of WINNING, he has the PROVEN physical ability to RUN rounds in MULTIPLE events and the championship level and WIN. He has times comparable to BOLT & Powell and THEY know this!

[sizzlacalunji]

I would say Gay is better athlete. Not Faster. There is a difference.

Let me give u the history on bolts 100m history.

10.04 10.03 afterwards 5 times 9.XX. He has the WR & WL for 2008 100m. He has the WL time for 200m for this year.

U want to harp on 9.88 that bolt did knowin he ran 9.72 wit +1.7 wind; Gay did 9.85. U expect Gay 2 beat him? Bolt working on his start now.

Gay is behind. He know this. U dont.

PS: The world believes USA does drugs for Olympics. We all know this.

[broadjumper1]

Also, if you want to TALK shit about wind, Bolt's 9.72 WR was aided by a 1.7mps wind and therefore worth only a 9.84 when ajusted for wind effect.

Incidentally, Tyson Gay has run 9.84 & 9.85 into NEGATIVE (-0.5) winds, so those times equal 9.82. Bolt's 9.76 was aided by a 1.8mps wind, so worth only 9.88.

[sizzlacalunji]

You have missed the point. Completely.

I give Gay props for his mental ability. This is his main driving factor to perform. His physical level or speed technically speaking is nowhere near Bolt or Asafa.

If u take into consideration wind, Gay again falls behind. he proved it this weekend.

Asafa ran 9.78 with 0 wind wat does that tell u? Gay did 9.77 with 1.6 m/s. When Asafa has as much he can run 9.74 and under. Bolt 2. u dont need IQ to kno that.

[broadjumper1]

You have NO POINT! You make it sound like Gay has no natural ability. That's a MORONIC statement. Gay is smart, fast and works hard. There's NO basis to say his physical level or speed isn't close to Powell or Bolt, that's STUPID. The guy has only run the FASTEST 100m ever all conditions, he's run 9.77, 9.84 INTO WIND and the 2nd fastest 200 EVER! When Bolt run 9.74 w a 0.0, then talk about it cause until then his times aren't ANY faster than Gay's & Powell is a headcase. watch this week's 200!

[sizzlacalunji]

Good to see ure awake however this is wat shows me the bias u have. In comparison Gays best is slower than two athletes. I have never said he has no ability, I have compared to him the Fastest. What set Gay apart from Asafa is his mental psyche. That is the edge. All I'm saying if Asafa gets his shit together how the hell is Gay is going to beat him?

9.77 +1.6 vs 9.74 +1.7 & 9.72 +1.7 9.78 +0! wind.

And I'm the moron? Look at the Gap!

The problem with u is no one must speak bad of Gay.

[broadjumper1]

There's no BIAS. I already posted the wind & altitude adjustments. I'll do it once MORE! Gay 9.68 + 4.1 = 9.86 Gay 9.77 + 1.6 = 9.88 Gay 9.85 + -.5 = 9.82 Gay 9.84 + -.5 = 9.82 Bolt 9.72 + 1.7 = 9.84 Bolt 9.76 + 1.8 = 9.88 Powell 9.77 + 1.0 = 9.83 Powell 9.77 + 1.5 = 9.85 Powell 9.77 + 1.6 = 9.85 Powell 9.74 + 1.7 = 9.83 Powell 9.78 + 0.0 = 9.79 (Altitude) Yes, you're a MORON! What GAP? The problem with you is you can't stop drinking the koolaid.

[sizzlacalunji]

I am aware of his 5th at Olympics, his 1st. He was 17. Ure harsh!!!

What year was for World Junior?

[broadjumper1]

2001

[sizzlacalunji]

I thought World Junior was every two years?

Try again.

[broadjumper1]

2nd IAAF/Westel World Youth Championships

5TH semifinal 21.73  07/14/2001

3rd IAAF World Youth Championships

1st final 20.40 13/07/2003

Source: IAAF

[sizzlacalunji]

WELL U CONFIRMED THE GAP!! No need for name calling. I'm sure I have shown u that little respect.

Gay's best time 4/100 of a second slower than Bolt. 5/100 slower than powell.

The 9.69 works out to be 3/100 slower than powell.

What you telling me here is that Gay shud hope for headwind at the Olympics as he runs faster against the wind than with the wind.

Yet all those times are slower than Asafa 9.78 with 0 wind. I cant see your point. It still says Gay is slower.

[creepyseth]

i think it's better to be burell than...gatlin/jones/flojo/mitc­hell...all drug user.. the only way americans know how to win...cheaters!(gaye just aint got caught yet)

[broadjumper1]

Yup, you are blind or just being dishonest, you can easily see Gay pull up with 15 meters or so to go.

One thing we know for sure is mental aptitude (confidence) is something Powell and BOLT don't have. No major championship Gold medals either...

[sizzlacalunji]

The mistake your making is that Bolt does not suffer from confidence issue. He is more seasoned in Track & Field far more than Asafa. Every knows Asafa is inconsistent. No one can deny that it.

Bolt is 21, just came into the BIG leagues n his debut he got 2 silvers. He is getting faster, has run only 7 100m n he has the WR.

[broadjumper1]

More seasoned than Asafa? BS. Powell has been world class since 2002, same as Bolt. Neither one has won a MAJOR world title, the only saving grace is Bolt is younger. And YES, he does suffer from lack of confidence, Hell he didn't commit to running the 100 until the Jamaican trials! And don't tout that WR, because since he's ONLY run 7 100 metere races, people might start thinking he's on DRUGS!

[sizzlacalunji]

Yes Bolt is. Bolt been in T&F since around 13,14 at the national level. He is groomed, he can hanndle the pressure. Asafa wasnt till little b4 World Champs 2003. No World youth. Some little races here and there in Kingston. No exposure. Why u think he was doing so many races? For fun? It was trying to develop him. His mental however did not get the same treatment as the physical. Now they working on that. Did u know? As for Bolt he is 6'5. All who had set the record was shorter than him.

[broadjumper1]

BS, Powell had been running since he was a schoolboy. Stephen Francis first saw him at 18 when he had been sprinting for 2 years and has a 10.85 PR. If Bolt is mentally tough, I've yet to see it. As for the height, he's certainly NOT the first tall sprinter to set a record. John Carlos was 6'4" and 210 when he ran 19.7 in '68. Steve Williams was 6'3.5" and set four 100m WRs. Ralph Metcalfe and Ran Norton were also over 6'2".

[sizzlacalunji]

They all shorter. U chose to use guys who set some record in the 70s...God your really unfair. U know people find it hard to accept this due to his height. U show it 2b false.

7 yrs ago Asafa was basically a nobody. He had no pressure. I was there watching from 1999. So spare me.

Well put it this way the real test for Bolts mental is one month away. Asafa says he ready mentally. I say we will see. Gay will be competitive as always. If u dont think that his edge is his mind, fine.

[broadjumper1]

So what if they're shorter. Being shorter is generally considered an advnatage.

We'll see about Bolt. Asafa always thinks he's ready. Gay is the ONLY one who has PROVEN he's ready and like I said, watch the 200s over the next 2 days...

[matt1hockey]

aha he fell at the 200s

[broadjumper1]

Ah, he didn't FALL, he cramped and only an asshole like you would be glad he suffered any injury, so suck it....

[bignate78752]

If he were raised in the USA, we'd more likely see him entering his rookie year in the NFL than setting world records on the track. Soon as a football coach sees a kid with that combination of size and speed, he is on him. The only way we'd see an American kid that size on the track is if he can't cut it in football.

[sizzlacalunji]

One more thing. Tyson Gays (America's) best is 1/100 of sec faster than Asafa without wind assistance. 9.77 vs. 9.78

I respect Asafa. He may not have the medals but I know his potential n recognise it.

When Bolt was in World Youth, Gold. Central America Games, Gold.

Gays Debut at World Champs? 4th.

Bolts Debut at World Champs 2 silvers.

Clearly Bolt has the Mental. Spearman gave Bolt hell one time. Now Spearmon is lost to him. Bolt smiled at him crossing the line. I was there.

[broadjumper1]

One more thing, Asafa CAN'T seem to beat anyone when it matters. When he wins a BIG race when it's all on the line, then I'll consider him a great sprinter. Yes, he's fast. So what? You REALLY expect me to care about JUNIOR championships? LOL! But since you brought it up:

Bolt debuts at the World Jr - 5th in his semifinal.

Bolt debuts in the Olympic - 5th in heat.

Clearly Bolt is fast, but he still hasn't proven he can endure the physical toll of multiple rounds in more than one event.

[sizzlacalunji]

I dont disagree with this point.

One thing Bolts 200m best I think is 19.75. Do u know why he is in the 100m? His coach believes he can run much faster than 19.75 if he can improve his 1st 100m. So he does 400m to improve the stamina. Now the 100m is becoming a main event. Now they are looking to improve his start out of the blocks.

Asafa got the same treatment and cried about it.

[sizzlacalunji]

Hey moment of truth will here? This is where our athletes either pu tup or shut up. I hope people dont use the fall as an excuse if Gay is beaten at the Olympics. In fact all the records set except the 9.74 Gay was there in 2nd.

Moment of truth coming up Jumper1. Let see wat happens...

[broadjumper1]

Hey sizzlacalunji, you haven't seen me make excuses. If Gay's not ready he's not ready and that's not the fault of the other athletes. Gay says he's 100%, we'll see when he performs. Powell & Bolt look very ready.

Frankly I'll be glad when it's over. I'm sick of hearing about Jamacian sprinters and past doping offenses. Hopefully doping will become a thing of the past because it's ruined the ability to enjoy the sport. Don't tell me people don't suspect all three of doping.

[sizzlacalunji]

I agree with how the sport has been tainted.

[DirkMcQuigly]

Yes, no nation has done themselves any favors by not nipping this in the bud well befor now. I feel it's too little too late at lest in the US. Track may now forever more be a second class sport in the nation because of it.

BTW, to all you Jamaicans...GOOD LUCK and may the best man win. Let's hope for a NEW world record and a GREAT competition. No more national bickering, OK?

[sportdude08]

track is not a big spor ther ein the u.s. i mean its big in all but the athletes dont get any big status. its always been a 2nd class if u ask me particualry world wide track is probabaly a 2nd class sport due to the drug use i it.

[broadjumper1]

In the 50s & 60's it was a HUGE sport with greater participation and fan base second only to professional baseball. The Los Angeles Coliseum used to sell out for a simple dual meet (95,000+), so it HASN'T always been a second class sport. Yes, drug abuse has had a major effect, but there have been many factors that have caused its regression. And to suugest that wordwide it's second class is just plain dumb because it's wildly popular in Europe & Asia and is THE main sport of the Olympics.

[sportdude08]

idiot were not in the 50's or 60;s this is 2008. football,basketball,baseball, come first track is last and gets no publicity her ein the states only sum with that being said. take alll those sports away and u would get a shit load of fast sprinters here. either way u just jumped in so haha

[broadjumper1]

You REALLY are THAT stupid, aren't you? I'm well award of what YEAR this is you moronic little turd, I'm referring to YOUR ignoreant comment:

YOU said "its always been a 2nd class if u ask me"

First, NO ONE asked, you and if they had, YOU would be WRONG.

And do us a favor, learn how to WRITE, your text-message quality comment are just more proof of your arrested development.

[sportdude08]

it is 2nd class her ein the states u dumb piece of shit keep ur mouth shut if u dont know what were tlaking baout bitch ur ass got powened.

[broadjumper1]

dumb piece of shit? "it is 2nd class her ein the states" Dirk M JUST SAID THAT you moronic asswipe! It's OBVIOUS what you're "tlaking baout"

You'd be well suited to take your own advice skippy, 'cause you just pwened yourself, you ignorant little fuck. Good thing school is about to start up again. This time try paying attention and I'm sure you'll finally make it to the 10th grade. But just think how cool you'll be, you'll be allowed to by beer while still in high school. Dumbass...

[sportdude08]

lmfao i just said that u dumb piec eof shit wow come up with sumthin better u just got pownede dagain and u look li ke a little btich. POWNDED hahha

[broadjumper1]

dude, you're dumber than dirt? YOU didn't make the initial remark, Dirk DID.

And it's PWNED, NOT "POWNDED"

fuckin retard...mouth breathers like you make George Bush look like a fucking genius. now go away before you embarrass yourself again...

[sportdude08]

lmfao was that suppose to hurt my feelings?? damn u do a very porrly job ur more pathetic then dirt go kill urself ahhah

[broadjumper1]

hurt my feelings?? You gotta have a brain to have feelings, so you're fucked for starters...in truth no one gives a shit what you thing skippy..

"u do a very porrly job "

"ur more pathetic then dirt"

Wow, you're probaby at the top of your class too...

[sportdude08]

i fucked?? i think ur the one who is fucked because ur trash tlaking me and it aint botherin me los like ur saying stuf ffor no reason u just got powned bitch hahah wow stay at th ebottom of the class dirt hha powned

[broadjumper1]

"i fucked?" Look you illiterate motherfucker, Who CARES what you think?

Every time you type a response, you PWN, yourself!

[sportdude08]

lmfao you just got powned agaiuin bitch damn your pathetic go hang urself bitch ahahahha

[DirkMcQuigly]

what because a pussy like you says so? Nigger please....

[sportdude08]

??? lmfao wut aidiot

[DirkMcQuigly]

exactly....thanks for admitting YOU'RE AN IDIOT....

[thelegend2626]

well we all know what the excuse will be for bolt and powell if they get beat to young and unixpirenced and the jitters haha

[sizzlacalunji]

Oh no I wont have excuses if they get beat. I do have a concern though. And it is the drug testing. They have taken quite a bit of blood from both Asafa and Bolt. Some 4 times since Tuesday. On top of that they have been testing (taking blood from) Powell almost every week since May. I think thats excessive.

[thelegend2626]

yea yea tmaybe they can use the distraction excuse

[sizzlacalunji]

Its not an excuse I said concern.

[DirkMcQuigly]

Gay is part of the same testing procedures... The collective amount of blood taken is FAR less than once would given in a donation...

[sizzlacalunji]

I cannot validate Gay's frequency of being tested but Asafa has come out and said that it has been excessive. This is the same one who had volunteered under the anti-doping campaign and he said it has been more than usual. It aint my words. The delgate for the team from IOC also confirmed this. IAAF plays it down by sayin they have the right to do so under the rules. They have vamped up the testing from 3600 to 4500 this Olypics. But all this at the end of day point where we are in this sport.

[DirkMcQuigly]

Gay is also part of the same pilot project (unlimited testing) and has been tested at least twice since arriving in Beijing. I know Powell has been tested 4 times and feel's it's excessive but they DO have the right under the rules. And it's possible Powell has been tested by as many as 3 different agencies, the IOC, WADA and IAAF. One thing is true, it is what it is. The cheaters have created a mess for honest athletes, but it may be the only way for the sport to regain any credibility.

[jscizzle22]

Brilliant start.

[dadamafia]

Nice run indeed. Should be a very exciting 3 man battle for the Olympic crown between Tyson, Usain and Asafa.

[mzzqtqt]

J12oe12l... right lets see how long before he gets BUSTED LMAO!!

[RBGdUP]

you obviously know absolutely nothing about this sport or tyson gay. how about you shut up

[jahnick1]

Yes we know it was Aided , The Only U.S Athletes we should trust are there basket Ballers

[J12oe12l]

Tyson Gay Wind Aided 9.68. Watch Out Bolt and Asafda!!!!

[jahnick1]

what can we say,nothing just yet its another ?American record
