@RoselleRams8 wtf is wrong with you, if you knew anything about sprints then you would know that powell's technique is pretty much perfect, that's why he can consistently run under 10
you should shut the fuck up and jump off the bolt bandwagon
@fightjunge24 wtf what have us people done to him to make him buckle lol some people love the adrenaline and get excited some people get nervous and dont enjoy pressure and dont compete to there best
"It wasn't a perfect race. I got a great start which I wanted but I was a bit wary of pushing too hard because my legs felt a little bit tight in the first round," Powell told reporters. and asafa did that race in 9.72!
Well athletes during training know the sort of time they can get if they go all out, but if they went all out all the time think of how injured he'll be? plus athletes will get too tired before the final. But for someone like asafa needs to sprint more in heats if he wants a good time, he can never perform in finals it seems.
I like how the douche bag announcer pronounces it "ASS-uf-uh" Powell. You'd think if he were covering an event with a world class athlete, he'd bother to learn how to pronounce his name. Plus, he called the wrong winner. Not to mention, Asafa clearly lifted on purpose, knowing he did enough. Hope the moron announcer got fired. 3 strikes and you're out, right?
this powell and bolt always slow down when they notice theyr going fast enough to set a new world record ,very clever each time u break the record 100,000 dollars (i heard, if not more)
100,000 dollars for beating a world record for usain bolt or asafa is nothing. for exmpl asafa´s price for running in a meeting is 120,000 dollars and usain bolt´s is 250,000! so i dont think they might worry for the money in case they break a world record.
usain could whoop your ass a thousand times more......asafa u da boss man. no body in the world has a start like you...noone....just learn to deal with the pressure and u'll be fine. learn to finish yo. i know it aint easy but do you man.
OM FREAKING G, that he ran a 10.29 into a headwind while jogging for at least 45m. My goodness i would have to run full speed with a pair of roller blades to run that fast!
Where were white people when back people were building pyramids. IN CAVES. Where white people when asians inventing currencies and culture. NO WHERE white people had to steal from other people cultures to make them selves rich.
u fucking idiot, i should strangle u, for starters he slowed down? want to know why? i wont tell u ur to stupid to have that knowledge, now i will tell u something, its extremely hard to run a 9s, on the body, in the mind, its hard. Now go run a 100m and if u do a 11s, ile bowdown my head to you... i really will, and if u do 1 year of sprinting u will realize how 0.10s is like 10kilos in the gym to improve, now imagine improving 11-10s thats 100kilos, not so easy hum? STFU RETARD I DONT CARE!lol
pangbourne college is a douche. the atp-pc system only lasts 8-12secs haha. not 45 seconds. and it takes 2-5 mins rest depending on fitness for the system to recover. the 400m race is run in under 45 secs and its an anaerobic event. If u could use the atp-pc system for 45 seconds people could sprint the whole 400m in "relay like" times
barely nothing for a sprinter, nothing to a endurance runner, its total death for a bodybuilder ;) think about it, its all about muscle size, the bigger, the more "garbage"(acid)...keep in mind im NOT talking about performance
distance and sprinting shouldn't be compared like this because the two use completely different energy systems and very different mind sets. distance athletes = fuel efficient hybrid cars, 100m/200m athletes = bugatti veyrons and dodge vipers. both kinds of cars are amazing but one for distance and the other for acceleration/top speed.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeeee hes really bak isnt he klumpen714 ur an idiot!! all powell does it win all the shitty races and boasts about how gd he is and when it comes down to it he chokes!!! look at the world championships and the olympics u dik!! bolt is just better thats all u can say its fact!!
aight guys we didnt have yson vs asafa vs usain final in beijing but tomorrow in brussels we gon have the race of the year :) they all are gonna be in 100m dash so it's gonna be awesome, althouh tyson isn;t in his best shape i think it's gon be interesting anyway
i bet he had no comp in Lausanne. He'll probably break bolts record in some little meet. Then lose it again to bolt about a week or 2 later. Only if asafa got his mind right bolt would actually have someone to run with. Asafa could really be on top again...
powell still has a lot more 2 come .ok bolt is the man now but asafa is great in his own right.just a shame he gets to nervous.i think he to can go under 9.7.
I can't honestly say I respect Asafa Powell. He's a jerk when it comes to quarterfinal and semifinal races. During the last 20 or so meters of this race he jogged it as if to say "I knew I'd qualify, too easy." What kind of sportmanship do you call that?
I knew he'd win the 200m Final in Beijing, but Usain Bolt is a little prideful himself. During the semi final round, he looked right at the camera with his hands stretched out just as he was passing up his opponents before the finish line. Seriously, why can't Jamaican runners be more humble about their wins?
thats right..i feel i am more successful in athletics and even on my job when i show a bit more humility and less arrogance. i would have a greater tendency to make a mistake when i puff myself up.
that 200 was amazing though, best michael johnson by 2 hundreths of a second, amazing. he;s like the michael phelps of sprinting almost....i say almost because he's not been the top dog for as long as phelps.
To say that is pretty cold hearted, and this wasn't even an Olympic Final or World Championship Final, it was held in Melbourne, Australia during the Commonwealth Games. For that comment you made, I hope an American owns Bolt or Powell in at least a relay race in the London Olympics in 2012, as well as whatever competitors are in it from your country, just to change your self-righteous pride.
how is it cold hearted? The only real reason why the US has been dominating the sprint scene is because they have used a silly amount of drugs. Take flo-jo as an example. The person closest to her record got caught for drug abuse. Powell and Bolt have been very good athletes for years, but the americans have 1 season then, they give up (typical for someone who is doped). On the other hand I believe Tyson Gay isn't doped, shame he is injured.
Observe how quickly the other runners caught up to him during the final 20 meters. Had he jogged any slower, he would have missed his opportunity to advance to just the "Semifinal" round.
yeah bolt makes sure he is leading by like 10 meters before he actually stops running hard. in this race the guy was still pretty close but yeah bolt has those longs legs so when he is jogging its pretty much the same as running.
Doping conspiracy - multi-purpose weapon for several agendas
1. sell evolution theory and "take pills is better" hoaxes
2. sell "drugs improve performance of natural sports" hoax
3. eliminate the "wrong" champions
4. destroy natural sport
5. destroy justice
6. terrorize the sheep
The plot to destroy natural sports and sell the "drugs is better" hoax, by falsely accusing the world's greatest athletes. Usain Bolt, the next to be executed.
hey if ur 14 (me) and u got 11.45 in 100metres whats that mean fast for ur age or what? plz answer i need help on mi futre career sprinter or footballer
te recuerdo ya q decis q la raza blanca es inferior q en levantamiento de pesa(halterofilia) los mejores son los blancos, asiq quien es inferior? sera q los negros no tienen fuerza mas q en las piernas?
asafa is really fast i think he can keep up with tyson and bolt but he gotta get his head together and i hope it a photo finsh in beijing with them three ... with tyson winning lol
asafa need fi get focused real quick and stop them things ya. Its the second time mi see him gwaan dem way here. Him no steady emotionally. Hope this summer him prepared and bring home the gold.
i hate all these bitches who tell everyone their pb times. NO ONE CARES. Its like your trying to show off or something, da only people showing off their times on youtube should b olympic sprinters!!
n this sport is because they think that all black ppl r on steroids.. sum of them r. lol uh yea sum r fast becuz they can stand the heat and they were born in that type of environment... they hella beastyyy.
n i do the exact thing, i dont pace mah self i let mah self go he proll doesnt train the same way s i do. to practir train for the 100 or to b ah sprinter u have to have momentum and endurance so basically u shud run 200s an 300s then 400s so u cud have the endurance u need to win. dont slow up we u get to the finish line run it all the way!
yonukka1 your such an idiot. wtf do you know about black people they're aren't fast because of the heat!!! they are just jenetically fast. and you're slow. i run a 13second 100m dash and i am only 12. Black people are jenetically fast. and not all of them take drugs ass wipe. So what about whute peole jack ass. you need to go to a black men and women's nation and know more about them you bitch. & Black people aren't fast because when they were in Africa they were chased buy lions you SLUT!!!.
Its not only black people who are fast,its poor people. The majority of people that play any professional sports are brought up in a poor family.They dont have the options that other families have so their forced to play the cheapest sports ex. basketball, track and field,football(not hockey or swimming).You dont need that much money for those sports and they played them since they were young. And it just so happens that the majority of poor people are black.Maaan, I need to write a book!!!!
ahh dude soccer,track and all that pay a hella lot more money than swimming. Well it's true that Black people are raised in poor families that's a good point. & they don't have a choice to their sports but dame they know how to set their priorites straight if you know what mean. Yeah you do that right a book buddy. lol.
Hey if its cos they are poor then they will play fotball /soccer. Athletics is 90% genetics and coaching. Black people generally speaking have good genetics for specific sports.
You think a white guy from norway who is poor will run 100metres under 10 seconds even with years of training? Only if he has the genetic advantage. Or the chemical advantage.
Genetics has been scientifically proven, however its hard to believe when athletes of different races in my neighborhood are good.Hispanics,White,Black,it dont matter.If the kid from Norway was raised in Miami,playing sports,He has a good chance cuz of the competition.Now whats the point for a kid from Norway to run track or play football???The kids in the US,know that there is a posiblity of them making it,Norway, they'll get smacked and told to do some work.I get ur point,but hard to believe.
You think thats expensive???Compare it to other sports--better yet, if your in a poor neighborhood, try to find a golf course, or a hockey rink. compare that with the numbers of basketball courts or football fields-big difference. $60 is nothing compared to them other sports
tyson gay is gonna whoop there ass , because when the race matters bolt and powell don't show up!!!! tyson is gonna get 100M and 200M Gold in the olympics believe That SHIT!!!!!!
its a race any of the 3 men can win.we have to just wait and see.Big up powell,lightening bolt and tyson real runners, clean runners, drugs free.good luck to u all.
mann powell n bolt jus da bes n dey better prove it dis year, tyson battyman ain't got shit on dem kmt. Powell needs to stop messin around and prove himself. BIG UP TO MY JAMAICAN PPL!!!!! 1. x
he's an english commentator wot do u expect lol!! since they dont have world class athletes they dont understand powells judgement at the end of the race. it was a qualifying round & he did all that he needed to do!!
He blows everyone out at the start then chills out to save energy for the later rounds. Not that hard to understand... but he needs to get his head right and win a world title, which is gonna be even harder this year with people like Bolt running ridiculous times so early on.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
as a distance runner this makes me angry. why the hell do you slow up in the 100 METER DASH?!?!? man i've only once seen someone on the elite level slow down in a distance race and that was pre after he put his heart and soul on the line going all out for first. powell has 1st locked up and he starts jogging. cmon dude put ur best effort out there i don't care if you've already qualified the race SHOULD be shorter than TEN SECONDS FINISH IT!...P.S. im ready for the thumbs downs from powell fans
When you're a sprinter and you're moving that fast it's very easy to pull muscles or have other serious injuries even if you're warm and stretched real well. If he's already qualified and he's basically already won, why risk the injury? It's like putting you're starting quarterback in when you're up by 50.
He won didn't he? I'd say that's strong enough a finish. I mean who really cares, first place is first place. I would've done the same thing. No offense to distance runners but there is a lot MORE risk as a sprinter, your muscles are stretching and contracting faster.. it's simple physics. I definitely won't tell him to run faster until I can beat him, which isn't happening. I respect his strategies cause he's got the record and he obviously knows what he's doing. He's an elite athelete.
dude in a 100 meter race how can you possibly know you've got the win he ended up winning by what, less than a tenth? i understand a win's a win but at that level you can't ease up and expect to win it anyway. no matter how good you are. he's really lucky he didn't get caught.
as a sprinter, you just know your faster than everybody else.
You probably don't know much about sprinting, but you actually "pace" yourself in the 100 meter as well. People don't realize that because it's such a fast race.
Why put all my effort into finishing a race with no extra benefit?
either he's lazy or he thought it was the 90 meter dash...hey people only -8 next to my comment?? cmon lets at least try to hit double digits next time
U see what your fucking name is sixtyniner or what the fuck ever all you do is suck pussy you peace a shit.. i bet you push ur tongue in battyhole as well..LOL

asafa suks fkn balls. that black cunt hasnt seen me run. fkn nigga cock suking petrol sniffing ghetto slut. i bet he got his speed frm running away frm his imbread father trying 2 molest him
You dont want us jamaicans tofind you and fuck you upyou asshole. Even if u live in the last part of earth. Put a cock sucker like you live in a rathole.. Dont let your picture be on this cuz u will get fucked.
omg that guy is insane, he slowed down because he knew he won already, and he didn't even look tired afterwards when some of the other ones were almost dead on the floor

i wouldn't say 'no lactic acid' because when you finish you feel it building up really fast.
but during your run it has no effect because your body doesn't have the time to start "making" it.

I can't honestly say I respect Asafa Powell. He's a jerk when it comes to quarterfinal and semifinal races. During the last 20 or so meters of this race he jogged it as if to say "I knew I'd qualify, too easy." What kind of sportmanship do you call that?
Rawk4Life 3 years ago
he's not using his abilities the good Lord gave him to the best of his ability thats for sure.
evan711heaven 3 years ago
I knew he'd win the 200m Final in Beijing, but Usain Bolt is a little prideful himself. During the semi final round, he looked right at the camera with his hands stretched out just as he was passing up his opponents before the finish line. Seriously, why can't Jamaican runners be more humble about their wins?
Rawk4Life 3 years ago
thats right..i feel i am more successful in athletics and even on my job when i show a bit more humility and less arrogance. i would have a greater tendency to make a mistake when i puff myself up.
that 200 was amazing though, best michael johnson by 2 hundreths of a second, amazing. he;s like the michael phelps of sprinting almost....i say almost because he's not been the top dog for as long as phelps.

To say that is pretty cold hearted, and this wasn't even an Olympic Final or World Championship Final, it was held in Melbourne, Australia during the Commonwealth Games. For that comment you made, I hope an American owns Bolt or Powell in at least a relay race in the London Olympics in 2012, as well as whatever competitors are in it from your country, just to change your self-righteous pride.
Rawk4Life 3 years ago
pft, whatever
nk7792 3 years ago
how is it cold hearted? The only real reason why the US has been dominating the sprint scene is because they have used a silly amount of drugs. Take flo-jo as an example. The person closest to her record got caught for drug abuse. Powell and Bolt have been very good athletes for years, but the americans have 1 season then, they give up (typical for someone who is doped). On the other hand I believe Tyson Gay isn't doped, shame he is injured.

Observe how quickly the other runners caught up to him during the final 20 meters. Had he jogged any slower, he would have missed his opportunity to advance to just the "Semifinal" round.

yeah bolt makes sure he is leading by like 10 meters before he actually stops running hard. in this race the guy was still pretty close but yeah bolt has those longs legs so when he is jogging its pretty much the same as running.

umm yea h is ah fast mo fo..
i run the 100 n 11.2 seconds.
n i do the exact thing, i dont pace mah self i let mah self go he proll doesnt train the same way s i do. to practir train for the 100 or to b ah sprinter u have to have momentum and endurance so basically u shud run 200s an 300s then 400s so u cud have the endurance u need to win. dont slow up we u get to the finish line run it all the way!
yonukka1 3 years ago
yonukka1 your such an idiot. wtf do you know about black people they're aren't fast because of the heat!!! they are just jenetically fast. and you're slow. i run a 13second 100m dash and i am only 12. Black people are jenetically fast. and not all of them take drugs ass wipe. So what about whute peole jack ass. you need to go to a black men and women's nation and know more about them you bitch. & Black people aren't fast because when they were in Africa they were chased buy lions you SLUT!!!.
Lilmmforever 3 years ago
Its not only black people who are fast,its poor people. The majority of people that play any professional sports are brought up in a poor family.They dont have the options that other families have so their forced to play the cheapest sports ex. basketball, track and field,football(not hockey or swimming).You dont need that much money for those sports and they played them since they were young. And it just so happens that the majority of poor people are black.Maaan, I need to write a book!!!!
dls2779 3 years ago
ahh dude soccer,track and all that pay a hella lot more money than swimming. Well it's true that Black people are raised in poor families that's a good point. & they don't have a choice to their sports but dame they know how to set their priorites straight if you know what mean. Yeah you do that right a book buddy. lol.
Lilmmforever 3 years ago
Hey if its cos they are poor then they will play fotball /soccer. Athletics is 90% genetics and coaching. Black people generally speaking have good genetics for specific sports.
You think a white guy from norway who is poor will run 100metres under 10 seconds even with years of training? Only if he has the genetic advantage. Or the chemical advantage.
icecurator 3 years ago 4
Genetics has been scientifically proven, however its hard to believe when athletes of different races in my neighborhood are good.Hispanics,White,Black,it dont matter.If the kid from Norway was raised in Miami,playing sports,He has a good chance cuz of the competition.Now whats the point for a kid from Norway to run track or play football???The kids in the US,know that there is a posiblity of them making it,Norway, they'll get smacked and told to do some work.I get ur point,but hard to believe.

as a distance runner this makes me angry. why the hell do you slow up in the 100 METER DASH?!?!? man i've only once seen someone on the elite level slow down in a distance race and that was pre after he put his heart and soul on the line going all out for first. powell has 1st locked up and he starts jogging. cmon dude put ur best effort out there i don't care if you've already qualified the race SHOULD be shorter than TEN SECONDS FINISH IT!...P.S. im ready for the thumbs downs from powell fans
RedsoxNets5 3 years ago
When you're a sprinter and you're moving that fast it's very easy to pull muscles or have other serious injuries even if you're warm and stretched real well. If he's already qualified and he's basically already won, why risk the injury? It's like putting you're starting quarterback in when you're up by 50.
DaWook3307 3 years ago 3
there is risk no matter what speed he's going at...finish strong
RedsoxNets5 3 years ago
He won didn't he? I'd say that's strong enough a finish. I mean who really cares, first place is first place. I would've done the same thing. No offense to distance runners but there is a lot MORE risk as a sprinter, your muscles are stretching and contracting faster.. it's simple physics. I definitely won't tell him to run faster until I can beat him, which isn't happening. I respect his strategies cause he's got the record and he obviously knows what he's doing. He's an elite athelete.
DaWook3307 3 years ago
dude in a 100 meter race how can you possibly know you've got the win he ended up winning by what, less than a tenth? i understand a win's a win but at that level you can't ease up and expect to win it anyway. no matter how good you are. he's really lucky he didn't get caught.
RedsoxNets5 3 years ago
as a sprinter, you just know your faster than everybody else.
You probably don't know much about sprinting, but you actually "pace" yourself in the 100 meter as well. People don't realize that because it's such a fast race.
Why put all my effort into finishing a race with no extra benefit?
