Frightening. The guy is only 22 as well! By the time he retires he could set records that will last for 50 years or more, and have 20 gold medals.
 
Slightly dissapointing to hear him say that he wont be doing BOTH next time around and will just concentrate on just one event, be it the 100 or 200 metres!

That is a shame....Id like to see him have a go at the 400m as well to really ensure his legendary status!
 
I think Bolt just mentioned it as an option, he didn't seem to definitely rule it out. To be honest his training and build up has been stop start and he's had an operation on his foot... so it's understandable he might be a bit sore and tired.

Agree that it would be amazing to see him go for the 400m, maybe at the expense of the 100m. Perhaps he'll try that shift later in his career though
 
tish, you chaps need to lighten up, its nice to see a mascot getting involved a bit rather than walking around like a cliché just shaking a couple of kids hands
 
No, he is simply annoying. I can imagine him being funny if you're about 10 years old ... but other than that, i dont think so!!
 
Rodríguez had to go; I called it in-running, a blatant bit of cheating. She knew and the crowd did too.

By the way, how dappy is Dobriskey? I get the impression you couldn't spend more than thirty seconds with her before wanting to hit her over the head. Well done on the silver though.
 
Cracking race there by the 4x400m relay boys, we really do have a great tradition in that race.

So six medals in all, an excellent return for Great Britain. In fact, an excellent World Championships overall; the most enjoyable one I can remember.
 
The best I can remember was Tokyo in 1991, particularly in relation to our 4 400 lads. Got to agree that ****ing bear apart this has been a great spectacle, and a probably better than expected result for the British team. Now let's bring the Ashes home.

Tokyo '91 did of course have 'that' long jump duel between Powell and Leiws as well, which was superb. Not necessarily disagreeing re 1991, but in terms of highlights from Berlin, there have been so many:

  • Usain Bolt
  • Isinbayeva crashing and burning
  • Kenenisa Bekele doing the double again
  • Jessica Ennis announcing herself as a truly world class athlete
  • WR in the women's hammer
  • Robert Harting going mental after winning the men's discus
  • Jamaica's overall dominance in the sprints
