Faster than Usain Bolt :)

[reprepF1]

niet de enige kobayashi die snel is

Kamui Kobayashi is ook snel , maar in andere sport , google daar maar es op

[steelballsnl1]

Zijn eerste 500m in 9.37, en dan de ronde in ongeveer 26.0 daar geeft hij veel te veel toe. Zelfs Oikawa kon niet zo snel openen

[larsscheen]

A bit false start, but very good:)

Man, the way he poses before the start. Like a cat ready to pounce. But that opening is too fast, see how he is out of energy the last 100 metres. Best to save some to the end.

There is no such thing as opening too fast on a 500m.

[ManiacMarcel]

@Tjarkv there is, wotherspoon opened 0,22 sec slower, but his final time is over a second faster.

[Tjarkv]

@ManiacMarcel Yes, but remember this race is in Berlin, a low/sea-level ice track, not Salt Lake or Calgary. Btw: Wotherspoons best race in my opinion was the worldcup race in Hamar (also sea level) in which he raced 34.31 (26-1-2008). IF he raced that race in SL/Cal, it would have been a 33.xx. Too bad that race isn't on youtube.

@clumsy123 haha do you know anything about speed skating? too fast? tired at the end? his lap just isn't as good as his opener. its a 500m

;o Wist niet dat Kobayashi de snelste 100m ooit had, zeker wel knap gedaan. Schaatst hij eigenlijk nog? ik hoor al enkele jaren niks meer van hem.
