Olympics, 100m Men's Sprinting final.

Watch it for this guy called 'Usain Bolt'. He's been jogging through the quarter and semi finals and has barely broken a sweat winning every heat.

I'm hoping he's going to actually give it some in the final and you're almost guarenteed to see him do a new world record!

The World Record is 9.72 set by him. He did a 9.84 in the semi final where he just jogged across the line and looked at ease

The bloke is mental, legs are so long it looks unfair.

Watch it

Powell is still capable of pushing him to the end however Bolt is in the form of his life at the moment

They're making it sound like a 1 man final, i think it will be tighter than they suspect.

I predict a 9.69 though

The Jamaican's look amazingly quick and yeah there's definately going to be a new WR set I reckon.

Team GB have done outstanding today at the velodrome. How quick is Chris Hoy?!

Hoy romped it, although i find the commentators continual need to say 'ohhhhh look at the big Scotsman with his broad shoulders' every 2 seconds slightly disturbing

He is sooooo powerful. Did you see him win his heat just letting that guy go a few lengths ahead and then just powering past him

Yeah He was at least 5/6 kmph faster on the straights. Amazing at that level of cycling.

Hammer: I also found the commentator abit strange. On one of the camera shots from the back of that electric bike he said something like: "This shot is just amazing, you can see the outstanding quadricep development of this big Scotsman here"

I predict something unreal like 9.65

The fact that Powell is there, it'll make Usain run harder.

The margins in a 100m sprint are almost negligible that's how i find their prediction of a walkover a bit weird.

The lane draw should be conducive to a decent time, they've been kept apart so they won't know where each other are!
