Powell didn't run 'full out' because it was a qualifying heat. As most runners do, he was saving a little for the finals. Many times in sprinting, running relaxed (since he knew he'd win the heat) help your technique and you can actually run faster and it feels almost effortless.
they dont slow down they just stop aplying power to their strides. it doesnt make much of a difference either way, at that speed it takes them a long time to slow down
That's right, he has self esteem issues right now. When he sorts them out, he's gonna run 9.6 and maybe even sub of that. A good video that shows his true cheetah, is ASAFA POWELL - ELEGANCE. Type it in. He did a 9.72 in it and slowed down at the end too.
the commentator figured it out late that it was a world record. what a cunty little cunt. A time will come when they'll run in 5 seconds. Thanks to the new drugs they use.
u mean new biomechanical computer analysis .. dont be so negative b4 u know all the details .. ur obviously an outsider 2 sprinting .. dont say shit b4 u can run under 11 or train someone that runs under 11
what in the world are you talking about you slow understanding half illiterate fool! Do you even know what I was commenting about. Do you know what biomechanical computer analysis is? I am ½ jamaican ½ Kenyan BTW...go figure...
What a racist prick you are. Slow down on the drugs man! With those high performance shit, my turtle could beat you while hatching. Come here to Kenya and we'll have a match....I could hook you up with paul tergat, haile and kenenisa..."I figured ur ass is black lol"...I can't stoop to that level...hands down...good luck!
why do u guys reach 4 the "racist" get outta jail card everytime ur cornered?! .. u mean u cant "stoop" 2 those times u fkn snail .. I'm done scolding u .. watch the olympic final today .. watch carefully the incision on the back of their knees .. adjustable biomechanical surgically placed synthatic implants .. get going bitch!!
another record, you fuck! look at the line up....! damn.......we're too good! "racist get outta jail card"? .... you started all this shit man! "hmmm .. I figure ur ass is black lol .. " <---- what does this imply? You tell me...Low life sun of bitch...you'll never be in the top 200 all your life..."ex-national" I bet you can't say what you said infront of any african, you coward! what a coward you are....! what a damn coward you must be!
as I said .. ur a nobody .. bye bye now .. dont call us we'll call u .. dont 4get ur coat and gloves on ur way out .. drive carefullu u hear .. send us a postcard
any ppl in the comments fast sprinters!?!? well if you do...do any of you guys have dreams where you just cant run for crap and if feels like you going up hill on the moon?!?! (sry if i sound like an ABSOULUTE phsycho)
naa i dont have those, its just, i when i need to run fast, ill be at like an 20 degree angle leaning so far foward, and ill try so hard but cant go nearly as fast as a jog even. so wierd, but i can normally outrun almost everyone in my gym class
I didn't Asafa was going to break his own record of 9.77. If he did, then I thought that his max. would have been a 9.76.
I mean, if you have seen all of the other 9.77s he had run, he just looks so perfect driving out of the blocks, head down, with good reaction time and smooth transition and all of that. But it just shows that, no matter how good you are, there is always room for improvement.
Asafa is still young and I think he is maturing more after that loss at the world championships.
Powell better get his nerve problems fixed by Beijing 08. World Records can always be broken, Gold medals stay in history forever which no one can take from you.

Asafa slowed down towards the end of the race.. I figure if he kept going he could have easily ran a 9.70 or dare I say it 9.69

robinho1979 4 years ago
it was a heat, if you're that ownage you dont need to go all out in the heats to win, therefore conserving your energy for the finals.
his first WR was in a heat too i think?
powell has a nerve problem, so i guess he's more relaxed in the heats, so he does better
