i couldnt believe it when i heard that asafa was 90kg..and last year was 95kg!

ben johnson was 72-74kg, linford christie was 84kg... usain bolt is apparently 76kg (i think that HAS to be an old listing)...

[jonolollmao]

@rcaddict72 i know, he didnt even look like he had 5kg to lose to begin with lol theyre like all muscle and no fat

[rcaddict72]

wow asafa looks good for early season. this is equivalent to about 2/100ths slower than his 9.83 into a 0.5m wind 2 weeks ago. ..which was his 5th best performance ever.

[jonolollmao]

@rcaddict72 on this wind/altitude calculator i used online, it said powells time with 0 wind would be 9.82 lol i can give send u the link if u want

[kenshitheone]

[jonolollmao]

[nicholassandiford]

He's looking good so far but theirs room for improvement...........good work

[MrNaldogray]

Great start, drive phase, knees high, and the seperation through top end speed!

[Franckbery]

why are they so inconsistent? why cant he run 9.72 all the time? is it fitness ? mood ?

[Franckbery]

@rcaddict72 according to wikipedia, he weighs 85 kg for 1.90 m

[MrBusunglueck]

@rcaddict72 to be correct bolt is 94 kilogramm not 76 but...

[fightjunge24]

@rcaddict72 why was that his 5th best performance?

[fightjunge24]

@rcaddict72 lol what are u talking tere? ben johnson as 80 kg asafa is 88 and christie was 92 and bolt is 86 or 88.

Why don't Asafa Powell end the season? It's annoying watching him withdraw from every competition. Especially for those who look foward to see him. Atleast let your fans know your status. All they hear is: "Asafa Powell withdraw". If you are trying to avoid further injury then end the season. This whole thing is not being handled well.

these gay ass jamaican are on some serious drugs

[MrAnimeFreak777]

@jonolollmao fat can also be stored in ur muscle. Which is why other people's muscles are harder than others

Meh. With that sort of wind Insane Usaine would go 9.4 without breaking a sweat.
