I gotta give it up, your prediction were a lot better than I thought. I think it was luck though.
the OP was pretty freakin close. I need to go find this on youtube now.
Next up, new 200meter WR!
No luck my friend!!! I know my Track & Field. Very proud Jamaican here!!! More to come in the 200!!!
WTF, dude was off by .1 second between all three runners combined.
Does your crystal ball do stock market prices?
Hmmmm!!! I might consider that line of work!!!

Props. What are your predictions for the 200m?
He claims he’s run 9.4s in training too. Would love to see it.
Some people started to think after he ran that 19.59 in the rain and in a headwind (4th fastest time in history even though conditions were so shitty that Merritt, 2008 400m olympic champ, was behind in 2nd place by about 0.8 seconds) that he was going to be the first person ever to run sub 19.00. This would seem to be further proof that sub 19.00 is doable for him.
Sorry dude, don’t mean to be selfish; gotta save the lucky numbers for myself!! ![]()
The 200M prediction is much harder since Usain has not done any significant running of that event this season. I could more accurately assess the 100M based on the races run by all the top athletes. ( End of disclaimer)
Here goes:
BOLT GOLD 19.18 WR!!
GAY SILVER 19.48 AR
SPEARMON 19.92 BRONZE
Lets place the bets!!!

19.48 wouldn’t be the American record (I’m assuming that’s what “AR” means).
Record for Gay. MJ has the American record. AHHH We have some Track & Field fans reading closely.
Bolt ran a complete race. Start, mid, and finish were all strong. I was glad to see Gay running a great race, both for his sake and because it forces Bolt to stay on his toes (pun intended). Having seen, that however, I am starting to think that Bolt is starting to approach his limits. It is hard for me to see where he can squeeze out another 0.19 s to break 9.4. That was already with a tailwind, though I don’t know how fast of a track that is. I have a feeling his career best will be somewhere in the mid- to high 9.4s.

Well he’s still only 22, so he’s nowhere near his peak. He could definitely get stronger I’m sure. But you’re right, 9.4 might be it.
I got this from another forum:
