Johnson has been passed!

Good for him! I hope it was legit (read: drug free)! I also hope Johnson's was legit.

Until proven otherwise, I'll just say WOW. Maybe he can go sub-19 haha. Wouldn't be surprised, the way he's running.

Sub 19??..lol-wishful thinking-But who knows?, the guy is only 22, so in his 3rd olympic appereance he'll be the same age johnson was in atlanta, so again....who knows?

Almost a 1/2 second better than his previous personal best. In one year he improved his PB in the 100m by 0.34 seconds and 0.45 seconds in the 200m. A feat that has never been done at the world class level, even by known PED users. Who's his chemist?

Another bit of information, Bolt ran into a - 0.9 m/s headwind. That adjusts to a 19.23 with no wind and a 19.12 with a legal +2.0 tailwind. Johnson had a slight tailwind when he ran 19.32.Edited by: SteveB

Interesting info Steve.

With full legal wind behind him and not running some many rounds, I think this guy can break 19. this is the results of a freak on steroids. wallace spearmon who is only 2" shorter then bolt has only run 19.65 and I would say thats the fastest "clean" 200m since mike marsh ran 19.73

 

[white is right]

He might be able to pip 19 flat at a Jamaican championship or in Greece. He could destroy the record at altitude. Hey Mcbride did you have any homo-erotic fantasies while watching the race? It certainly sounds like it from your posts.....
