  • Looked like he was jogging. He might not hit 9.58 but he can def break 9.69. Sry gay..

  • I don't know what kind of crack yall smoking but powell cannot see Gay on any level. he beat everybody else but the best(Bolt and Gay)

  • what's up with the guys pants next to him??

  • whose the guy in red? he seems he has an electric motor behind him

  • sorry you young guys,but 47 yrs ago bob hayes ran 10.05 on a loose dirt(yes DIRT) track in tokyo. he then ran an 8.6 anchor leg(which is STILL) the fastest leg of a 4X100 relay. in prelim he clicked off a 9.91(wind just over legal)but again consider it was on DIRT. he was only 21 too. and hiss 100 time WAS electronic(SEIKO had it electronically hooked up to the startes pistol so the second it went off timing began,i want to see what bolt and powell run on a loose dirt track !!!

  • @Max0077 You are the fag, I already got it by Nike :p And yes Nike Swift works!

  • @TheGuala i bet u didnt. u could tell me where u got it but i dont think u have it

  • Linford Christie would beat Asafa Powell even if he had a 20m head start!

  • Where can I buy that damn suit, like the one Asafa is wearing?

  • @TheGuala are you GAY lol why do u want that suit , do you think you will look like him in that suit LOL u cant buy that exact suit buddy that is what the meet organiser gave to them but look on the nike website you might find something like that and goodluck

  • Comment removed

  • fuck i was at that race

  • @bmxfreak131 u live in austalia but u were there in monaco. very creadible

  • yeah should have seen his face during the Olympics he looked kind of stressed out he definitely could have gotten the silver easy. This time is better then who ever got silver in 2008.

  • @AntiVaccine, what are you talking about.....?

  • @phastman99 LOL

  • Thats is a Realy good star...!

  • i watched this live at skycity we had a tab goin

  • GrbtJGUee2Y

    Usain bolt and Cristiano ronaldo.

  • Usain Bolt y Lionel Messi !!!!!!!!

  • This dude has great potential...I know he can crack Gay..If he'd just focus and hold it together he'd be more consistent.

  • He'd crack Bolt too

  • we'll that's a strong statement!lol...I'd like to see him try.lol

  • @RyMuEntertainment 58 races under 10 scds and he has no consistency, it seems a very contradictory statement of your part.

    BTW, 2009 was a banner year for Tyson that he was able to demonstrate significant progress which took him to defeat Powell 6 to1. Asafa is a quintessential accelerator but Tyson's top-speed is very much better than him. So for Powell could crack Gay, he has to make a 1st 60 meters more than perfect, because otherwise, Gay will always going to catch him before the finish.

  • @torrepr I wasn't speaking of Gay's consistency,but rather that of Asafa, as he is my concern. If you look at Asafa's qualifying runs you see the potential not to mention the fact that he was already at world record time coming into Beijing..??

  • @RyMuEntertainment

    1.From a long time many people knew that Tyson Gay (regardless of bolt) may eventually overcome Powell's personal best, and it did, of course.

    It was a matter of time, especially for a sprinter who specializes in not only 100 meters (something that takes away opportunity and greater preparation i 100m, unlike Powell)

    2. This race was in Lausanne two weeks after the Olympics and who held the record before the Olympics was Bolt, NOT Powell.

  • @RyMuEntertainment ..agreed. he should have gay's measure but just ties up when someones nex tto him..or in front...

  • i think that Asafa has the insane potential to run very fast times.unfortunately cracks under pressure.

    he could run under 9.70 for sure.

  • @MarxMuru i think he can run 9.6 for sure he run 9.72 slowing down

  • @43aaronlewis lol he didnt slow down in lausanne

  • that has nothing todo with him having no heart. In that particular race he panicked when he saw Tyson catching up and cramped, you can clearly see that in his face when he is running, also you really see how he is loosing speed after 60M which is normally when he gets to full speed.

    100m is also a big mind game, and powell doesnt seem to stand the mega pressure in a big final like gay can for example.

    Unlike Bolt, Powell is a really modest guy.

  • Before usain came

  • you can pay for school, but you cant uy blass

  • como corre xD

  • you dont need class if your tht fast

  • he's still as a kid, showing off a bit too much, but in his case it's really really justified, he's a class before all of the others

  • It annoys me so much how powell has a shattered confidence! He runs 100m, should have it all when it comes to confidence :/

  • Title: Powell Wins Last 100 Before Olympics... Then fails

  • u wait

  • I waited for him at the berlin 100m finish line with enough time to have a cup of tea.

  • in my opinion i think powell and bolt are pretty much equal but powell seems to run so so straight up

  • asafa powell wouldve gotten silver easy in the olympics if he was more confident like usain bolt

  • i agree..u gotta have a certain swag as a 100m sprinter...show boat.... dance...walk back n forth n lick ur lips...its necessary

  • bolt will ease through his qualifying rounds at the wc but i believe the qualifying rounds will have its effect on tyson gay, thats just my opinion.

  • asafa mi love yuh...i believe in yu,but do yu believe in urself???Berlin baby Berlin

  • Black people are natural more built so it is to be expected.

  • asafa powell is one of the only ones who can beat bolt he just gets nervous all the time

  • tyson gay is faster

  • tyson gay had a huge tailwind when he ran that 9.68 his official pr isnt as good as asafa powells

  • BOLT IS FASTEST

  • i dont think so...i look check his times and wind n then check asafa's n bolts if u dont believe me..im not being biased

  • asafa is a REALLY fast runner.. he just needs

    to loosen up and stop being so tense

  • LOL, how is asafa tense? please explain?

  • Didn't you see the last olympics, he came 5th

    Because he was too tense.. If he wasn't so

    tense he would've KILLED IT!

    But instead he too focused on Usain Bolt

    outrunning him, and that's what brought him

    down.. There you have it! :)

  • oh your talking about in finals lol, yeah i know he would have killed it, but in normal races he has the smoothest technique out of all the athletes

  • i know.. its cuz in the big stuff like olympics everyones just watching him... then he worries about losing and disappointing millions of people.

  • i really dont see ur point on that. ur speculating that asafa wouldve run times that he has never run near....

  • they mean that his running form is tense.

  • i know this, but he does not run tense he has one of the smoothest techniques apart from in finals. if you want to talk about tense look at tyson gay.

  • Powel, Gay, BoLt==Legends.!!!

  • Being that outstanding at running takes hard work or generations of running to turn genetic for a runner

  • I'd like to seek Powel, Gay and Bolt at their best in WC August.

  • now that would be the race of the century lol

  • gatlin should be there

  • i can do tht easy :P

  • yo keep that to yourself pls and stop dreaming and start living

  • you're fucked.

  • lol...the guy in the red suit runs like a retard !

  • It's a matter of work ethic, not for just being black. A white man can break Usain Bolt's record if he works hard enough.

  • you seem to be forgetting talent and the athletes potental. working hard will not get you there alone.

  • and thats a black thing ;)

  • good point but you also have to be born fast

  • True, Usain was born fast, according to him. You've just gotta practice and keep getting stronger. If you're a walking-stick, you will still run slow. If you've got muscle on your lower and upper body, you will run a lot faster. Most sprinters I see bench around 175-300 LB.

  • wouldhave made sense but even the ones left in africa are strong they just don't have the exposure to make it in sports

  • wow that comment was crazy.blacks r fast cus in slavery days they ran 24/7 also walk everywhere,black ppl r good in sports not work them r the hispanics

  • navy that was a dumbass comment to, maybe you skipped a few classes in school but what you are describing the theory inheritance of acquired traits. That theory was proven wrong. Ronaldinho1072 is describing natural selection which is accepted by the scientific community. Natural selection may have played a small part but blacks were not enslaved long enough (not saying they should still be) for natural selection for better slaves to take place.

  • check out high school sophmore Jordan Canzeri's 100 and 200m

  • has powell ever raced bolt

  • yes lol, quite a few times.

  • Yeah,he raced bolt and he won by a few mili seconds

  • bolt smoked him at beijing tho

  • yea!!!!!

  • lol....black ppl just got the best talent, thats it and they train hard and long ! white ppl and asians can one day be as fast as black people !

  • No Asians make the things other ppl invented and that is not a shot at Asians ! Like what you say? Alexander Miles - Elevator (1888) W. Johnson - Egg Beater J. L. Love - Pencil Sharpener (1897) Garrett A. Morgan - Gas Mask that saved many lives during WWI (1914) - Automatic Traffic Signal (1923) L.C. Bailey -Folding Bed James A. Bauer -Coin Changer Robert Flemming ,Jr -Guitar Joseph N. Jackson -Remote Controllers Paul E. Williams -Helicopter J. Standard -Refrigerator
  • worng!!!!! black ppl have 85% fast twitch muscle fibes and 15% slow twitch, white ppl have 55 fast and 45 slow!! biological fact

  • BS!

  • Thats not always the case alot of black african runners are very good distance runners, however some black people do have a greater proportion of fast twitch fibres just not all!!!

  • no thats not. forst of all ur talking about black americans which are west african. that;s like talking about the top 10% of white people, which probably is about 85%

  • there is a reason why black people are in general faster .

    black people have more developed leg muscles than white people .. in tern effecting the growth of the muscles faster .

    basicly for noobs out there . their legs are stronger. thats why there are always more black people winning everything in the olympics : )

    us white people suck lol : )

  • that myth has been debunked

  • how

  • looks like hes got no head in the begginig lols

  • if it wasnt for black ppl half the things u use in your every day life wouldnt be there

  • Like what? 

    Don't you mean asians

  • No Asians make the things other ppl invented and that is not a shot at Asians ! Like what you say? Alexander Miles - Elevator (1888) W. Johnson - Egg Beater J. L. Love - Pencil Sharpener (1897) Garrett A. Morgan - Gas Mask that saved many lives during WWI (1914) - Automatic Traffic Signal (1923) L.C. Bailey -Folding Bed James A. Bauer -Coin Changer Robert Flemming ,Jr -Guitar Joseph N. Jackson -Remote Controllers Paul E. Williams -Helicopter J. Standard -Refrigerator
  • Some of those things are just plain useless

    Im talking about Electronics, and games etc

  • i agree with platn1um, u said everyday life, haha ownt

  • We've never seen a "smart black guy?" Are you fucking kidding me?

  • u fukin idiots theres been a man huse run under 10 FUKIN TYPE IN ON YOUTUBE (WHITE MAN RUNS UNDER 10 SECONDS!) U FUKIN RETARD BADIN U DONT KNOW SHIT

  • why does this idiot post on every video "craig pickering will run under 10 seconds" you writing that isn't gonna make it happen. The mon has been running 10.1 for the third year now. In my opninion he will never do it.

  • thats true for alot of athletes. Guys like Travis Padgett and Trindon Holliday get sooooo very close to sub-10 but never do. If you can't go sub-10, then you just aren't going to compete with Asafa, Tyson, and the Lightning Bolt

  • Travis Padgett has ran sub-10 btw.

  • jiggly u twat thers been a polish man whos run 9.98 u idiot shut up u dont know jak... chineese and japanes r shit at runnin usain could of caught up with the last leg in beijing watch it 4x100 final ... BIG UP ASAFA POWELL!

  • Nope,Mark Warronin or somethin ran 10 flat.Thats the fastest a white man has ever run.A few sub 10 runs have been disqualified for diff reasons.

  • he ran 9.998. It was just rounded up to 10.00

  • craig pickering will be the 1st white man to break under 10 seconds at 100m

  • hey hey bwoys the chineses boys are fast, dem got so much talent look at Liu Xinag yeh he does hurdles but with that times in hurdles i'd like see him run a 100m he must be so fast,and even there is one else chienese fast ,and also look at asahara the jJapanes sprinter he is quick for real,asians sprinters are fast too ,my brothers.respect...

  • why cant i see the video

    i cant watch this video Ad

  • 37kmph=22.9 mph

  • omg lol lol u think asian are slower then white LOL maybe chinese but not pakis and indians after blacks peeps its pakis and indis but rthey dont have facilities i am an asian PAKISTANI and i am the fastest boy uner 14s in whole merton in merton there are like 15schools and i beated all black peeps i am not being racist though

  • nice to know, nice to know

  • ive never seen a paki or indian in any sport you fags are bottom of the barrel. even asians dominate sports more than you fags. i heard india hasnt won an olympic gold medal in over 30 years too lol

  • then i will be the first one u fuking dum shit

  • yea every fag is the first one on youtube

  • pffffffahaahahahaha

  • 37km/hr is about 25mph.

  • all black people arent fast but like when i was in 1st-5th grade i was slow as hell but when i got in 6th grade i became one of fastest people around and now im in 8th and no1 in my state 14 under can beat me in 100m( im black)

  • i think that is happening to me, last year i used to get beat by kids half my age(13) know i can compete with the fastest of MY age group

  • There are genetical proofs that black people have a tendency to be faster than white people. So it's not a stereotype. But I have no doubt that the biggest reason why they're so fast is training hard

  • Can hispanic people run as fast as black people. My dumb racist friend made a list 1. Black 2. Hispanic 3. White 4. Asian

  • How many Hispanics do u see in the big 100m races. That shud answer yur question. lol no offense 2 hispanics

  • I am a Asafa Powell girl,I am from Jamaica, but I lives in the states. I love Asafa. Keep up the good work my son. Iam praying for you to restore your health, to be strong to continue doing the good work for the country.

  • powell is so consistent. his time range about 9.76 to 9.8x

  • dah that womans voice!

  • Bigger and stronger ligaments in their heels!! Not heard that one before;sounds retarded!!!

  • tanha tanha hai dil tanha tandoori nights

  • all balck men aren't fast-but the fastest men in the world are always black...

  • to say every black man is fast is stereotypical and just completely wrong. i'm white and i cane the black boys ass in the 100

    (only sometimes)

  • yeah-the slow ones

  • yeh the slower ones, but not black people arent all fast thats the poitn im trying to make

  • DarkIce2405 That was a retard comment!!! I have seen plenty of white people who run faster than black people and not only blacks run from the cops!!! Anyone can be fast if they really want to. Plus what about Jeremy Wariner? He is definitely white and he is definitely fast. Whatever though, ignorant people make ignorant comments

  • so ur saying every fast black person is only fast cuz they run away from the cops? fuck u

  • pretty much... and no... fuck you and all those black fast people... they just need to get along with the PoPo aka 5-0 aka Police

  • Rofl.

  • Are you kidding? If not,the only reason you speak is your tongue!

  • Darklce2405, basically all i can say to ur comment is IDIOT, i think u put that comment because ur jelous that u get owned by all the black people in ur skwl, or u are jelous of them because they can get girls and are not complete pricks!! black people tend to be faster because they have a bigger and stronger ligament in their heels, and not all of them are fast anyway!!!

    TIT!!

  • haha a white man never won a race. i heard of a man cant jump. but wat about white man cant run. haha

  • no offense

  • dont compare powel with bolt the man dem a Jamaican thats whats count, a jamaica mi sey the sprint factory.mi cuz tell mi say them tek more blood from powell than him, just inna jamaica camp dem take the most blood for test, the man say him did all fed up a that mek him run so fast. the man run faster time than the wr a yard

  • fuckin fool, black people are just more athletic than other thats why black people dominate sports. and again my cuz is the best.usain go go. jamaica, jamaica jamaica land we love

  • if it makes you feel better...

  • its not an insult lol its a good thing

  • B00glefop

    Blacks are more athletic?! I guess that explains why most world class gymnast we see are white.

    Oh what about swimming, wrestling and shot put? There ARE blacks in those sports but whites almost always outnumber them. Dude stop being so ignorant. (I'm black).

  • stfu im talking about running asshole

  • YOure still an ignoramus.

  • i here white racers visualize a pile of dicks at the end of the track so they run slow

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHA

  • carol lewis carl lewis sister

  • who the fuck chick is the commentar

  • usain probably lost 0.06 0.08 max if he ran thru the line. find his splits

  • Bolt stopped accelerating at 30. He was on pace for a 9.5 easy. He can go 9.4.

    The clock was 9.2 when he pounded his chest. That could have been the finish.

    Asafa didn't choke. He was fatigued. Just like Tyson. My advice to both is to regroup and bring their best now. Usain's races are going to be extremely lucrative and he needs top rivals that have to potential to defeat him.

    They can all make alot of money.

  • usain bolt is the best ever

  • as i already said before...

    once again, Powell will choke when it counts

    this guy is not a professional athlete

    he backs down from fights

    either he leads from start to finish and blows everyone away or he simply gives up

    he could have easily won silver

    but he didn't put his heart and soul in it because he knew he couldn't compete with Usain

    it's sad however cause he's one of the most talented spinters in history

  • I'm pretty sure he would beat your butt

  • btw i jus wanna say that usain didnt really slow down that much. his strides were still the same speed when he was celebrating. however, he wasnt using his arms so that comes into play. also, dont you feel for powell knowing that he probably wont get a major gold medal for the rest of his carrer. he will probably run 9.70 or something in 2 weeks though lol

  • Will you fucks stop accusing country of their entire athletic team doping? Damn. If yuh nuh know who on steroids shut ya mouth eh? Im sure not all americans are on drugs. Stop being so childish.

  • he didnt really slow down,,,piss off man he lit a cigar up with 30 metres to go

  • Don't understand what you're trying to say..

  • all of the amreicans are dopers i wanna see u lot deny it look a marion jones and maurece grene two highly decorated runners but OMG whats that dopers but u see jamaica now LEGIT yh u dirty yanks say sumfink message me back innit

  • Lmao...Bolt yeah he slowed down..he is the perfect 100 meter runner tall not much meat, not much weight and drag but he sure can move his feet..this guy can still go below 9.6..somebody just needs to push him so he doesnt slow down at the finish...lmao

  • LMAO, Usain bolt didnt concentrate on running through the finish line.

    You gotta feel for powell

  • Gay didnt even make it to the final of 2008, powell is very good but Bolt is the killer, even tho powell is as good just not good on the big stage.

  • arent they broadcasting the olympics on tv where you are?

  • is there anywhere i can go to watch the olympics...and dont tell me msnbc cuz all i can see is america's version of the olympics there..

  • im a moron just because i have a different opinion, alright then mate.

  • usain bolt win heat1 in 10.20 asafa won heat2 in 10.16 n thompson of trinida win heat3 in 10.24

  • Asaf Powell is BLACK an a jamaican,only expect the best from us...we do things BIG--real BIG.
