ah.. ^^ 10.0x eek



van niekerk just broke the WR for 400m.. WTF!! 

poor michael johnson

Wow.  Might be the greatest sprint performance ever.  Def the greatest Olympic performance ever.  Out of freaking lane 8!!!

so crazy.. was shocking.. he just kept flying the last 100m.

ya i've never run track so i don't REALLY know the significance of lane 8.. must be hard af (nearly impossible) to mostly "race yourself" and still get a WR.

One complaint though... Really hate the scheduling.  Making James and Lashawn run together in same semifinal and push eachother to 44.0 and then have just 24 hours recovery is unfortunate.  Honestly don't think they would have beat WVN... But maybe they would have pushed him to go sub 43... Don't agree with the tight schedule...

Especially the 100m semi and final only separated by an hour...  These deep fields make the top guys have to push harder in the semis than usually...  They should get more recovery so we can see great times... Really was a disappointing final.  I guess it does show how intimidating bolt is and does display that 100m really is a sport and not just a test of speed though...  Gatlin basically ran around waiting for Bolt...

ya i was complaining about that earlier to my dad.. i just don't get how they can't schedule this stuff a few days earlier so that they can properly recover between each race. it's really unfortunate.

Lots of people on letsrun.com claiming the 400m Rio track is short. Might be tin hat but....given the state of preparation for these games....wouldn't be overly shocked if it came out that he only ran 398.7m or something.

100m final was as expected. Below-average start for Bolt as usual but luckily peak Blake/Gatlin/Gay weren't in the race so he could do just enough! De Grasse favourite for 2020.

Let's say Bolt wins the 200m and the 4x100 relay (both highly likely at this stage). Which career Olympic achievement is greater: a possible Bolt triple-triple or Michael Phelps' 23 golds?

i was thinking about the possibility of a short track.. deliberate or a mistake. If IOC wanted records to drop, could shorten it slightly every year.. even the pool.

but, in terms of this actual olympics.. I think if the track was actually shorter, we'd see better times in everything.. 10k / 1500m especially, etc. iirc, I don't think we've seen that kind of improvement. Also if it is short, it isn't short where the 100m was... hehe.

i won't even consider it until there's some serious proof floating around.. Niekerk's performance was mindblowing.

pc!

Bolt was insanely impressive. He switched off at around 70m and glided through for........a 9.86. LOL! Should be a great final still but hard to see the field challenging him.

What's happened to Trayvon Bromell? Barely squeaked through to the final. Was expecting him to be right up there with Bolt and De Grasse.

ya i dno, he's (bromell) definitely a 9.8x guy on his BEST sprint. what did he get in that semi? i didn't see his time. glad he got into the final though.

bolt is a 9.8x guy @ ~70%.. 

not sure if this belongs in the LOL thread instead.. lmfao.

was searching for a future song, for teh dunk playlist.. and I clicked on this.

Textbook #1
Read chapter 20 of 21

Review Questions

Real Test Questions
Learned 0 cards (350/2,300)

Time to finish this textbook. Read a chapter today, one more to go. Then memorize both.

There's just so many cards that pop up for review now since they've accumulated ~20 chapters! It's nuts. Maybe 300 per day that I'm reviewing lol. But I can burn through them very quick since they've been embedded in my long term memory now. Memorizing new cards takes very long though, and I'll have a lot of those to do today

it would be cool if we could get before/after footage of the dendrites and such in our brain  after learning all of those cards and "permanently storing them in memory".

I'd love to see an image of your brain 6 months ago compared to now for example.. lmao.

usa only won by 3.. 2nd game in a row.

they definitely look vulnerable .. makes things more interesting that's for sure.

was searching for nick ross dunk vids, and saw this from 2007.. maybe it's him 9 years ago?

man that is some beautiful jumping.. looks incredible.


also, from comments:

Billy works hard making these videos, not to mention the countless hours he drives from gym to gym to get the footage. Maybe if people respected this guys commitment to Dunkers instead of the "Low angles" of his cameras, they would appreciate the world of dunking more. Instead, we look for flaws in things we can't do to make ourselves feel better. YES this is Nick Ross from in the video. Keep up the work Billy, you are appreciated.

Played bball for 3 hours a bit of shooting but mainly pick up. I was able to dunk today on almost every attempt and felt 'bouncy'.

damn nice!

I tried getting my friends to throw me lobs, but the timing was always out of place. My bodyweight is down to 85kg.

damn nice! you were ~96 kg in oct 2015.

Women's 100m Final



Elaine Thompson won in 10.71.
Torie Bowie 2nd in 10.83 and Shelly Ann Fraser came 3rd in 10.86.

ya, sick.

i was just coming on to post about that and:

usain bolt: didn't look great in his start, but man o man did he look good towards the end.. beastmode.

mo farah: 10k gold.. not sure why these guys are holding back so much though man.. push the damn pace. Mo Farah fell and still had no problems.. seemed like an easy win for him. Glad he won but, not sure what his competition is thinking tbh.

Bolt V Gatlin showdown

hell ya.

Gatlin is "old" too.. pretty crazy. Phelps doesn't seem like he's getting worse with age either.. I bet he could destroy another olympics. I imagine he'll change his mind in the year leading up to 2020.

usa is my country but i'm still hoping Bolt wins.. more jewelry for the GOAT.
