Blake beats Bolt at Jamaican trials

Yes he has and good for him. You do have to ask with the execption of Linford Christie why our sprinters cannot run under 10 seconds in 100m and under 20 seconds in 200m (apart from John Regis)

13 June 1999 Dwain Chambers 9.97
29 July 1999 Jason Gardener 9.98

Last time a Brit broke the 10 second barrier
embarrassing frankly

200 metres 19:87 John Regis in 1984

still a uk record...

even worse

So no Brit has gone under 10 seconds since 1999

I'm sure Jason Gardeners was a one off.

Bolt is 19:19 (I think) for 200m

3/4 of a second better - probably equates to about 10 metres

In the UK trails, our 100m runners struggled to run times they will jog in the Olympic heats.

so true and these days they jog and still clock under 10 seconds. Maybe the classic British summer (rain) might help our sprinters more than the American and Jamacians?

Our guys just get going as Bolt & co are easing up at 75m



spot Bolt

Lol!
