Worlds Fastest Man Race starts in 30 minutes


Recommended Posts

While I understand it was the first gold for his country (ever... I think) there was really no reason for all the showboating afterward. And even during the race when he threw out his arms before even hit the finish line. The guy from Trinidad and Tobago was doing stuff like that too, and quite ironically, the American guy wasn't doing anything like that.

Regardless though, it was a pretty amazing race.

It's the first gold in that particular event, AFAIK. I agree :p

It seems a shame that he slowed down, but it was a good race nonetheless.

Jamaica sweeps in the women 100 meters a few minutes ago. 3 girls take all medals. except it's the first time in olympic history to get

1 gold and 2 silvers because they tied.. down to the hundredths lol

the men's 200 m FINAL is on wednesday.

And what some people probably don't realize is that alot of the Canadian runners are Jamaicans who have migrated and represent Canada in the past Olympics too.

so I'd say they do produce "Sprinters"

No. Maple Syrup makes them fast. They don't have that in Jamaica.

Its been like that for the last 50 years with jamacia

besides, i consider the 400m winner the fastest man.

The thing is, they're all really specialized. You could also say the 1000 Meter, 5 k or 10 k. It depends on how you define fast. "Africans"/Blacks have the advantage in the shorter distances since they have genetically more fast twitch muscle fiber. In the longer distances it should matter technically. You do find that people *from* Africa do really well, not because of height or muscle, but because their bodies are accomodated to running so much. For us its SPORT. To them its LIFE.

The 400m is my event but fastest goes to 100m/200m unless you have 400m runner who has a faster top speed.

DrunkenMaster, not many good sprinters are from Africa they have better distance runners.

well.... he proved he's not just all show... he dominated the 200 meter race a few minutes ago.... for Gold again. This time he didn't relax near the end he just blew them off his back...

I hope NBC shows it at prime time and not late at night like some of the track events so far.

If you're referring to the 100, try nbcolympics.com -- you'll need Microsoft Silverlight installed though (it'll give you the option there).

If you mean the 200 race, it'll be on in the U.S. later tonight so I'm sure it'll show up on nbcolympics.com soon. Try searching Youtube.com for "Usain Bolt" and sort by the date to give you the most recent results.

Just saw the 200m, man I would like to see what Bolt can do in the 4x400m if they let him run in that relay.

Can wait for Track next year it going to be that "Try to bring the record back to America" stuff I heard before from some athletes.

The 400m is my event but fastest goes to 100m/200m unless you have 400m runner who has a faster top speed.

DrunkenMaster, not many good sprinters are from Africa they have better distance runners.

In my opinion (and many other people too, but are afraid to say it), but the reason so many good athletes come from America and Caribbean countries such as Jamaica, has a LOT to do with the slave trade. You have to think 150-200 years ago they were treated as animals, and breed like animals, its harsh to say, but it is true. The genetics were narrowed down to produce a physically superior animal, just as you would do with any horse, cow, chicken or crop. A slave owner would not spend their money on a weak frail individual, they would choose the powerful and healthy one. If anyone finds that offensive, then sorry, i didn?t write history.

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
