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.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
