Blake almost had him!

the1gooner · 9 Aug 2012 at 20:58

Wow he did it but that was close at the end.

cm1179 · 9 Aug 2012 at 20:59

blake gave him a good run for his money

Guerrilla · 9 Aug 2012 at 20:59

Looked like he slowed down! :eek:

Azza · 9 Aug 2012 at 20:59

That was incredible!!! **** me! He slowed down as well... The way he powered after 50/60m to pull away from Blake was stupid!

Weir got bronze as well hahaha...

Pigeon_Killer · 9 Aug 2012 at 20:59

That was a lot slower than I thought it would be given how quick the other sprints have been

Shame Bolt won't get to compete in the 4x400m relay

I wish he'd sodding run through the line then, possibly could have got the WR? Still good effort from Blake.

And there you have it folks....Bolt does what no one has ever done...won the gold 200m final and successfully defended both his 100m and 200m titles.

What a race although i thought Blake would have caught him, he was running epically....and to finish it off an awesome Jamaican clean sweep...1, 2, 3!!!

Guerrilla · 9 Aug 2012 at 20:59

1,2,3 for Jamaica!

trickycurve · 9 Aug 2012 at 20:59

Looked to me like Bolt slowed slightly in the last metre or two. Was still close, mind you.

Bolt is a legend. Jamaican podium. He even done few push-ups after race

got to love him!

Robbo · 9 Aug 2012 at 21:02

Sublime as ever.

Racerdude · 9 Aug 2012 at 21:03

I wanted Blake to win Bolt is so arrogant I can't stand him.

Azza · 9 Aug 2012 at 21:03

Still can't believe how he pulled away at 50m or so and still ended up slowly when he seen he wasn't going to get a WR. Mind boggling.

Vonhelmet · 9 Aug 2012 at 21:03

Clean sweep! Spectacular.

When the best sprinter in the world tells you that they're the best sprinter in the world, that isn't arrogance.

the1gooner · 9 Aug 2012 at 21:05

So Jamaica favourites for the relay then I guessing.

I'd act exactly the same as him if I was that good. It's just his pure confidence showing through.

Azza · 9 Aug 2012 at 21:06

He still doesn't even 'sprint' properly... Hands clenched, thumbs up, still rocking a bit, constantly looking to see where Blake was. *faints*

the1gooner · 9 Aug 2012 at 21:08

Bolt the camera man lol.
