Yea, but he missed an opportunity he will not see again for a long long time. Just like the pool, that track is juiced for fast times. He won't be back here for quite some time.

To his defense, the guy is a novice sprinter. Once he get his technique in order and learns how to start, this guy will go under 9.6 and the record may last 25 years or at l;east until they allow rockets on your track shoes.

Carl Lewis has to be among the greatest as well. He dominated both the sprints and long jump in his prime and had staying power as well wining gold in four different Olympics

He won a gold medal, broke his own world record, and blew away the field and that was the dumbest thing you have this olympics?
