gay is the only man to challenge bolt. asafa just doesnt have the mental ability to beat any of those 2

[smsprints3]

Height isn't really an advantage or disadvantage. Taller people can usually maintain their speed much easier and tend to put much more force straight down on the track, which propels them forward.

Bolt is one of the best starters in the world, which for someone that is 6'5" IS uncommon. Take it from someone who is 6'4" and sprints.. getting out of the blocks even with the field is NOT easy when you're tall, but this guy makes it look like it is.

@GluteusKingMaximus I'm referring to the time of the Bolt Era . every since Bolt ran 9.76 at the jamaican invitational only Powell has beaten , no one one else . The last time Tyson beat BOLT was when Wallace Spearman useto beat him also . after that year none but Powell has beaten. and Powell barely did it.

[GluteusKingMaximus]

@thatshizzle Gay has beaten bolt back in 2007 on the 200m WC and asafa did it in 2008 in Brussel 100m.

This year is gonna be different. I think Asafa powell is gonna be for the first time mentally prepared

[kenshitheone]

@clashtj not best. just fastest for now.

[thatshizzle]

@lennard bullshit asafa has beaten Gay many times. and he's the only one to have ever beaten Bolt. Tyson will never beat Bolt. Never , Ever Mate i can guarantee it . unless he's injured or something.

[clashtj]

Personally i don't it matters if your short or tall...

advantages for short people, they get to move their feet quicker than tall persons making them move faster..

for tall ppl on the other hand. they only have long strides which i think isn't gd enoguh!...

so as far as concern short ppl have a more advantage.. but hey..

Usaine Bolt is the best runner out there!! accept it..!

[CescFabregas404]

all of youz stop comin up wit height advantage

if u see a tall guy like crouch or bendtner or anybody else

u dnt seee tthem movin like bolt

Athletes while higher, slower is its start, Usain Bolt just goes well, not even in Berlin he had an excellent start, he was slower than Tyson and Powell.

The segments that are more Bolt dominates is the second and third stages of the race(especially the segment of the drive), he has done since none of them has managed to do, Powell is the one who comes close to that pace. That's why he has made records that have in Berlin.

[torrepr]

why Asafa Powell (6'3 ") that has much more experience than Bolt, who is an exceptional athlete, not just any athlete can not take advantage of his " great "stature" in the same way that Bolt does it???? if barely Bolt is exceeded by only two inches !!!

[Mastertime00]

No he would not still win, because his turnover speed isn't asfast as Gay's. Usain utilises his leg length by taking fewer steps. No other 6'5" guy has been able to acheive this. He is a freak and long may he continue.
