[mrkillakirby007]

frig bolt.....blake ran ah monster leg!!!

[EDAJIREC]

when usain bolt gets the baton i swear to god you can actually see him moving through the gears like a top end supercar. fucking amazing. greatest of all time.

[ZonaerQ]

2:38 ewery day im shuffling

[LongDFTW]

jamaica would have won anyway usa couldnt do what they did

[bomdia876]

from the u.s.a.  drop out there was basically no real competition. Jamaica win wit lengths pon toppa lengths.mawd

[jc2007rose]

DAMN IT i wanted to see USA finish

[halox80]

that white frenchman is fast.

[THEYogan09]

GB werent the culprits for U.S.A going out of the race. I dont think darvis patton needed to do a frontflip he could have at least stayed on his feet and not knocked trinidad and tobago out of it to

[bgreenfield4]

This is why I love relays. You can't be selfish and it is always about the team and the time no matter how good you are.

[KiiDHYpez1]

anyone know bolts split time?

[4594901]

This is the first race in this entire championchips that Bolt has actually "run"

[4594901]

@vhickerson yes they could but if Bolt actually started running then definately yes. well, he actually did put out the most effort in this last race

[IOwnYouClown]

@vhickerson No. Because Powell is horrible at hand-offs.

[Diafgadgsut]

Jamaica can still go sub 37 with this team that broke the record yesterday. The team did not have much practices but because of their experience they were still able to run super fast and execute good baton exchanges. Any combination of athletes ( with and without Asafa) can most definitely produce the gold medal and world record. With Asafa's constant injuries, I would love to see him get another 4x100m WR at Olympic Games before his injuries force him into retirement.

[IOwnYouClown]

@Diafgadgsut I don't think they should take a chance with Asafa because of sentimental reasons. This team above was superb. Don't break up success. Frater is not as fast as Powell, but he is much better of a relay runner. He more than makes up for lost speed with crisp exchanges and well timed hand-offs.

[IOwnYouClown]

The 2nd to 3rd exchange is always the toughest exchange on a relay. It's the only left to right exchange. Frater and Blake executed it perfectly. Why take a chance on changing that when it already works so well?

[TheRiisingSun]

Point me to a commentator who speaks english!

[Diafgadgsut]

@TheRiisingSun Here is one with English but it is only 1.39 video: World Championships Daegu 2011 4x100 meters Usain Bolt New world Record 37.04

soccergoalzz

[IOwnYouClown]

It'd be insane to break this team up and add a question mark like Powell. Let them go for under 37 in London. Leave Powell on the outside looking in.

[Kar33minal]

damn,,,blake ate that curve up

[Diafgadgsut]

@Kar33minal  Yeah Blake ate it up so much and cause all sort of problems for the athletes towards the inner lanes beside his. All of dem tumbling all ova the place.

[ronskiman23]

I don't understand how they can run 10 m / second, even at 100m they finish in 10 seconds so they run 10m in 1 second !

How is this possible ?

[MadRippersky]

this is Romanian language

[Marinazelena]

what language is this?

[IOwnYouClown]

If it's not broke, why fix it? This is the fastest relay team in history. Give them another chance to go sub-37.

[IOwnYouClown]

Now what? In Olympics keep this same line-up? Or try to force Powell in and maybe mess up perfect chemistry and chance for 36.

[ry245]

a superb and wonderful display of a great teamwork by the Jamaicans! Too bad the americans collide with that huge british runner...that was a waste...

[UkMLGplayeR]

Did anyone see Christophe Lemaitre (Lane 8 Second leg)? he is fucking awesome! White people can be fast at 100!

[XtremeProds]

@UkMLGplayeR

yeah , when he begin to run i was like O_O !

[alphared10]

nuff respect jamaica all day....bolt have di place lock.

[IOwnYouClown]

It's funny how two years ago I said that Powell on anchor was keeping Jamaica from a WR. Sure enough, I was right...

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown Not true, both Carter and Frater's season's bests this year are nearly a tenth faster than 08 and unlike Powell, Blake has experience over 200m making him decent around the bend.

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 What's not true? What point are you trying to make?

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown obviously that Powell on anchor was keeping Jamaica from a WR

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 I'm not talking about '08. They broke a record there (only because of Usain). I made the argument in '09 that Powell should not be anchor and they would not break 37.10 or go below 37 unless Usain was anchor... and today I was proven right.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown ur comparing a slower team to a faster team, obviosuly that'll result a faster time. Mullings' PB in 09 was 10.01, Frater's SB was 10.02, now compare that to Nesta Carter and Michael Frater today, who've run 9.90 and 9.88 this year. Having Powell as anchor in 09 was the right choice because besides Mullings (who started), Bolt was the only good curve runner, this year Jamaica has Blake who has experience over 200m so unlike Powell, Blake is decent around the bend

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Dumb. You still want to argue, just admit I was right and move on, it won't kill you. Bolt should always run anchor. The relay does not need Powell. This team can go below 37, but only if Powell is off the team completely...

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown and why's that? Powell's one of the fastest men in history, so I really hope your joking right now. Replace Frater with Powell and Jamaica will go sub 37 easy.

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Powell is faster than Frater, indeed, in the 100m individual. But Frater is a far savvier relay runner, who has superb timing on exchanges and is a team player. Powell moans if he's not anchor and refuses to practice relay hand-offs.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown Powell isn't a curve runner, he's weak around the bend. If he ran 3rd in 08 or 09 Jamaica would lose time, even though Bolt would run a faster anchor. If he were running here in Daegu I'm sure he'd run 2nd for the team

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Powell would be a disaster on 2nd leg because he doesn't practice hand-offs and has bad timing on exchanges. Look at the women, Kerron Stewart is faster than Allyson Felix in 100m, but on relay Felix out runs her because her hand-offs are so superior..

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown give him a chance and maybe hell prove you wrong..

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Or maybe he'll get the team disqualified, costing Bolt another 3 WR Olympics and a legends haul..

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown they broke the WR by .06s with both Carter and Frater who are nearly than a tenth faster than they were three years ago, a WR was bound to happen (although I'll admit I wasn't expecting one). Even Carter, Blake, Bolt, Powell would result a sub 37 if it really were such a huge deal for Powell to run anything other than anchor like you seem to think

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Bolt is gonna blow out his achilles running 3rd leg. It's asinine to put him there. He generates too much power in his top end to have to slow down at full speed on a turn to hand the stick off... Do you think it's a coincidence that Bolt hasn't run fast as he did in Berlin from the time of that '09 relay until now?

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown Bolt's the greatest 200m sprinter ever, he won't blow his achilles around the bend, he's already done it twice..

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 In the 200 you don't have to brake to hand of a stick on the turn , genius.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown there shouldn't be much braking in the 4x100m anyway, you maintain the most consistent, fluid pace possible. But like I said, Bolt's already done it twice, he won't blow his achilles

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 You've obviously never ran a relay. At least not a 4x1.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown What? I didn't say there's no braking but the goal is to get the baton around the track as fast and smooth as possible, the least braking the better. It's obvious

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Bolt is too tall and unwieldy for a hand-off leg. Blake is best on 3rd leg, he's versatile and can control his speed better than Bolt. I still haven't heard one good reason to break up this team from you. They are the best ever, why change it?

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown With this team the order is perfect, but I'm talking about the 08/09 team. Since they didn't have Blake, no one could replace Bolt on 3rd, Blake has lots of experience around the bend which he proves in this race, if anyone else (Carter, Frater, Powell) ran on 3rd I think they'd lose time, neither of them are good curve runners. With Powell, the order can be Carter, Blake, Bolt, Powell or Carter, Powell, Blake, Bolt.

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Your ideas are terrible. I've already told you several times that Frater is a better relay runner than Powell and you've yet to provide evidence to the contrary..

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown If Jamaica gets some more time to practice hand-offs I'm sure Powell be fine on 2nd. Powell opened up the season by starting off team Jamaica at the BMW USA vs the world in Philadelphia and his hand-off to Frater was pretty clean. But as I said, if it really were an issue, another option is to put Bolt on 3rd. Who knows, maybe Frater will kill some 9.7's next year but as of now, I still say replace him with Powell for the Olympic team

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Bolt is not going to run 3rd again, never. Get that out of your head. And even in that scenario you still are replacing a WR relay leg, Frater. Why punish a champion? All four of these athlete set this record, not Bolt alone.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown I respect Frater, I'm not meaning to take away from him but Jamaica will do what they can to produce the best 4x100m team possible and if that means replacing Frater with a faster, more consistent sprinter (Powell) thats why they'll do. Imagine if Carter and Frater were as fast in Beijing as they are today, now tell me the WR wouldn't be sub 37. You do realize that if Powell was healthy he would've run the relay right?

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Yes he would have, and he would have whined that he can't run a straight for some made up reason and they wouldn't have broke the WR. This relay team is a perfect balance... I'll bet you they get runner up to team of the year, second only to Japan women's World Cup champs...

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown so you don't think Powell can handle 2nd leg with some hand-off training next year? And as I said even if he couldn't, another option is repeating what they did in Beijing and Berlin, the only difference would be Blake on 2nd instead of Frater, you keep saying how Bolt will blow his achilles but he never had problems running on 3rd before so I don't see why you think he would next time. Best option: Carter, Powell, Blake, Bolt / secondary option: Carter, Blake, Bolt, Powell.

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Bolt is not gonna run 3rd leg anymore, dude. Get that out of your head. Powell won't practice hand-offs the way Frater willingly does. You keep going in circles in this argument, none of this is getting through to you.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown lol we both know that if Powell was healthy this year they would've run him over Frater, so he would have probably run either 2nd or anchor, which is it? you choose.

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 He would have run 1st. Just like he ran in the relay at Penn. because Bolt told them long ago that he was never running 3rd again...

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown I didn't realize Bolt said himself he's not running 3rd again, so that rounds it down to 1st and 2nd for Powell, I still say 2nd but even him on 1st would result a sub 37 IMO

[sequiaonda78]

@IOwnYouClown The couch put him 3rd cause he is the best bend runner ever.... do you need any more reason?>

[EDAJIREC]

@phastman1994 he has to run 2nd for me cause after Bolt probably the fastest flat line runner the jamaicans have, then blake and one other. arguably one of the best 4x100 relay teams we will see for a while.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown Powell's over .1s faster than Frater, so even if his hand-off wasn't quite as quick, there'd be slightly more room for error. But that's only assuming Powell stays faster than Frater by the same margin as he is now, who knows, maybe Powell will pass his prime next year while Frater kills some 9.7's, we'll see..

[Diafgadgsut]

@phastman1994 With Bolt top end speed he is best for anchor and now with him having Achilles issues, it is not worth it to let him keep running the bend. He has to slow down too much after being in top flight to get off a safe baton exchange. If Asafa is in the final team in London, the lead off position is his best place. Yohan can run the backstretch and Nesta on third. Nesta has experience running third leg with team.

[phastman1994]

@Diafgadgsut I'm not complaining about the order of this team, the main argument is whether Powell should be on the Olympic team or not. I was talking about the 08/09 team where they didn't have Blake, without Blake no one can replace Bolt on 3rd, which is why he ran on 3rd in 08 and 09

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown he's already run 3rd leg twice that is, not blown his achilles

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 That's the difference between you and me. I knew they would break the record as long as they got good hand-offs.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown yea but now that I look back at it, I nearly forgot how much Carter and Frater have improved since 08. Powell isn't the reason I doubted a WR

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 You keep talking about how they improved, how does that help your argument to replace one of them with Powell, who is not as fast as he was in '08. Did you forget Powell ran his PR of 9.72 one week after the Olympics?

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown Powell's been consistent since 05, he's flopped slightly (9.72-9.78) but not by the same margin as Carter (9.98 - 9.90) or Frater (9.97 - 9.88) have improved, so either way it affects the overall time more positive than it does negative

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown Bolt's 100m splits in his 19.30 and 19.19 were 9.98 and 9.92, he's the only man to have gone sub 10 around the bend, that's why he ran 3rd in 09. But with Blake now on the team, Jamaica can afford to put him on 3rd and let Bolt run anchor, why? because Blake has experience over 200m, he's a decent curve runner, unlike Powell who's a pure 100m specialist.

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 That's a stupid excuse. Frater could run curves, he's versatile and can run any leg. Powell is just a whiner who cries that he will not run at all unless it's anchor... Well, guess what, he is no longer needed.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown Powell doesn't whine if he doesn't run anchor, that's BS

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 Yes, he does. He said it in '09. He "wasn't prepared" to run any other leg and forced Bolt back into a hand-off leg and cost him another 3 WR performance...

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown I still think Jamaica's order in 08 and 09 was ideal. But now that we have Blake, we don't even need to worry about this debate assuming team Jamaica stays healthy.

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown any world class sprinter "can" run a bend, but when your in this league, you have to be pretty strong around that bend if you wanna replace Bolt for 3rd, which Blake can do given that he's also a 200m specialist, who even said himself that he's been working on his bend this season. Carter, Powell, Blake, Bolt = sub 37 easy

[IOwnYouClown]

@phastman1994 That's a terrible idea. Just leave it the way it is. Powell would drop the stick or run out of a zone or some choking problem he always has...

[phastman1994]

@IOwnYouClown you sound like a Powell hater to me

[brittonray]

@IOwnYouClown i doubt it. Im almost certain that if we analyzed the bolt anchor vs the powell anchor powell, may be faster. All speculation but im sure in time we will find out.

[IOwnYouClown]

@brittonray You doubt what? I had a whole argument with some idiot like you on an old relay video. I broke it down and sure enough I was 100% correct and the idiot is nowhere to be found.

[HlDDENCOMMENT]

Yohan Blake is a BOSS!

[IOwnYouClown]

They can break 37 if they replace Frater with Powell. Although Frater is a great relay runner. Powell is faster, but might not be as strong on exchanges...

[MrThaSultan]

Im proud to be fucking Jamaican!! I feel so sorry for the american runners... Damn.

[gangsterx2008]

he was flying!!!!!!1!!! like a G6 haha

[beebeechitown]

Usain Bolt with a full start...scary fucking shit.

Thank God he's a nice guy:)

[israel217]

@beebeechitown LOL! 

[israel217]

LOL!

[Igosuki]

@beebeechitown

He's a fucking monster ... seriously did you see that shit ?

[NorwegianExplorer]

its faster than the solo wr for 100m due to the overlap and "easy" start for all but the first runner.

[AnzaKhan]

3rd leg - yohan blake ------- I claim speed hacks!

[andreiwindstorm]

Why Trinidad&Tobago didn't get DQ? He crossed the lane (because of the american, but still...)

[GilRMiz]

Usain Bolt is shufflin at 2:41 XDD

[andreiwindstorm]

Wow, romanian comentary :)

[IOwnYouClown]

Blake ran a great leg. They all ran great legs and Carter had an injury too.

[Darkdante44]

bolt took the fuck off........ damn

[SuperJezter]

2:41 best dance ever!

[IOwnYouClown]

If you want to drop the baton on the last exchange, run 5 meters out of your zone or knock two other teams, including your own, out of a relay just call Doc Patton.

[MrBorehead]

3 haters, Jamaica forever!

[IOwnYouClown]

Doc Patton- worst relay runner in track history. 

[IOwnYouClown]

I knew they had to have Bolt on anchor for a WR. Powell is a weak link on anchor.

[sahyantis]

Sorry USA, it would have been interesting to see how fast the Jamaicans would have gone if pressed. Sorry guys. Wi likkle but wi tallawah!

[bassefa1984]

@jorim187 the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th legs of the race are allowed to start before the baton reaches them, thus they do not have to accelerate from a stand still after each hand-off. This eliminates 3 of the 4 acceleration phases (slowest part of the race) from the total time. Therefore the average 100m time for the relay should be less than the 100m world record.

[marcusdeca]

@jorim187 the average time for each 100m is much quicker in the relay because the handoffs allow the baton to be moved continuously - each runner receives the baton after they're already close to full speed. Also, the transition zones where the handoffs occur are relatively long, which means that some runners will end up running farther than others, depending on where the handoffs occur.

[SuperMagicman1996]

I didnt even see Usain on his 100m o.O too fast

[DiGeniouse]

the 3 person who disliked this video is Justin gatlin, Tyson GAY, and Travis Padgett loll

[bustastarboy]

Love Jamaica

[bustastarboy]

Jamaican all over the c we can run past them no matter who come anytime anywhere mi proud to be a Jamaican anytime an mi say it anywhere love my country out of many one people come the best 'jamaica'

[jorim187]

wait a minute...

if they run 400m in 37.04 seconds, that averages 9.26 seconds every 100m.

which is FASTER than the 100m world record (9,58 seconds).

Seriously how fast did usain bolt run the last bit?

[turkoow1]

@jorim187

I guess running 4x100 is different than just 100m..

[Osslund92]

@jorim187 You don't have to accelerate every 100m, just the first. So that's why it goes faster than 9,58..... :O



[HenSan97]

@jorim187 they're already running when they start their 100 m

[warlordmel]

@jorim187 3/4 has running start maybe?? :P lols

[IOwnYouClown]

@jorim187 It's a running start on a relay, those times are not from a dead start like a 100m...

[gigamoment]

@jorim187 dude it's physics and sprint tactic... at 4x100 relay only the first one athlete has to start from block. The other three have already taken the baton and start running the 100 without any starting block.

[MrJuChew]

@jorim187

They may have "averaged" 9.26 seconds each 200m, but they all had a running start, except for the first leg. That makes a significant difference, especially when every hundredth of a second matters; they broke their old world record by .06.

[lMisterMeaner]

@jorim187 You absolute retard. It does NOT work like that. Fucking spack.

[DavidDaviddaviiid]

@jorim187 You are just 1 moron , I gave you 0 grad for LOGIC , ffs

[roxtar55]

@jorim187 LMAO newb. It's because they get running starts. Bob Hayes has been known to run the fastest split ever, 8.5 seconds.

[Caribbeanjamjam]

@jorim187 i think its a combination of all of them time best time in that race. not only bolts.

[Yrch7]

@jorim187 You should remember that in 100m it takes like 0.5-1.00 seconds in beginning to raise from the position... You can't compare these two times. ( in 4x100m you're able to accelerate before your "run" starts )

[radet2]

@jorim187 not realy fast, u realy stupid :P

If u take a look they start running befor the line when they switch the stick !

[evilTaker90]

@radet2 Bolt ran like HELL

[AnzaKhan]

@jorim187 its becasue 3 of the 4 starts are running starts

[JSana88]

@jorim187

2nd, 3rd and 4th shift are starting in full speed, that's why the average time is faster ;)

[4everinpanama]

@jorim187 might have something to do with the running start? Don't know how the timing works but u figure the last 3 runners are already going top speed

[basilismisailidis21]

@jorim187 dude you cant get that  9.58 is when you start still they start while they were running

[staslig]

@jorim187

not exactly the same since three of them starts their leg already at speed.

[borninparis]

@jorim187

Actually, less than that, as the first relayer runs his usual time, around 10. that gives 9" for the 3 others, roughly. But I think Blake and Bolt are the ones with dynamite sub-9 times.

[DuracellSmoelf]

@jorim187

Its called a "running start"..

[clumsy123]

@jorim187

That`s because a relay like this has 3 flying starts. In order to be able to compare a relay like this to a 100 meter dash, they would have to stop completely at the end of each turn.

[irishman1972it]

@jorim187 don't forget that second third and fourth runner don't start their run by ground...but already running,so they are faster then a 100m runner...(hope you understand my not perfect english....)

[MrWeksi]

@jorim187 flying starts to last 3 so it not miracle

[phastman1994]

@jorim187 no shit, after Carter's leg the rest are off flying starts..

[Chriscorp]

@jorim187 8.9sec

[marstonforever]

@jorim187 The last 3 runners don't start in blocks, they have already speed when they get the "temoin".

Maybe the first made 10s, and the 3 others around 9s.

But Bolt was very fast, i agree..

[jeefojava]

@jorim187 I thought about that too, i guess it's how they start is what making the difference!

[woody19995]

@jorim187

yes but you have to remember that for the 100m they have to do a block start . in the 4x100m they get the baton at pretty much full speed so obviously it will be faster

[VictorSlikk]

@jorim187

its because with the 4x100, each time the baton is changing hands the speed is constant (i.e the baton is constantly moving) but in the 100m they are starting from standstill and so it would seem faster in the 4x100 because there are no stops :)

[Canadian8282]

@jorim187

The last 3 runners of the race have running starts when they begin their 100m distance.

[WizeNoel]

@jorim187 no i run track so i know. everytime you see relays, the splits are ALWAYS faster then if you run it normally. Because in a individual race you have to start and take off building your speed, in relays your already in motion so you can accelerate alot faster

[UkMLGplayeR]

@jorim187 yh, but all but the 1st starter dont hav to start in blocks, so they can get to speed faster, which means they're gonna be getting a much faster time.

[Sedias23]

@jorim187 I'll tell you why they average 9.26 seconds every 100m...!!! Thats becoz the first runner starts from a standing start... the other runners, when they are passed the button they already have a running start... thats why they average 9.26.... OH and becoz Usain Bolt is jus super quick!!!!

[FONTAINEKOPA]

the bald and fat photographer again

[raoulhery]

@FONTAINEKOPA the guy faster than Usain is here every time! BTW what's wrong with USA these days?? thank the lord the girls are here to save the team
