Tyson Gay just ran the 100m in 9.68, the wind was to strong for a world record but it is still the fastest recorded time ever.

I cannot wait to see Bolt vs Tyson vs Powell in the Olympics

it was a world record but didnt count because of wind that shit is stupid if its the fastest time it should be a world record

Absolutely not, it shouldn't. Still pretty incredible he ran a 9.68. The 100 at the Olympics should be very interesting. I'm pulling for Usain Bolt because of the cool name.

edit - I lied, just completely ignored nationality there, I'm forced to pull for the American. Go Tyson Gay.

I agree. Seriously, these records have been kept for almost 100 years now and back in 1912 when they first started keeping records, they didn't care how hot, cold, or windy (or lack thereof) it was. A record in a natural environment is a record.

Gay also ran 9.77. It's a new American record.

The world record is 9.72

A name vs name breakdown:

Usain = bad
Bolt = great

Tyson = great
Gay = gay

Winner = Bolt


Obviously wind-aided shouldn't be allowed, but unless he was running in a hurricane, 9.68 is ridiculous. That makes the Olympics even more interesting.

Me too the 100m event is my favorite Olympic event ,let see if one of these guys can break a record at Beijing.

[Ben Zona]

definitely doping. athletics has become a joke.

The Olympic final will be awsome. A year ago, who would have imagined that there would be three guys that can consistently run 9.7. I dont know what the Olypmic 100m final record is, but it will probably be broken this year.
