Interesting to see how far away Bolt was to the inside of his lane compared to every other athlete in the 2006 race. Carter was almost on top of his. Bolt is such an aggravating athlete to watch.

[@charleshenry8194]

Track is a race to win. Why risk an injury or deplete all of your energy when there is a such thing as recovery, a next race and a career. Do pro basketball or pro football teams keep piling up the points once the game is in hand? Only in college and that is because of rankings. No, once you have the race in hand I say slow down, unless you are going for a world record ahead of time. The name of the game is win the race, not set a record every time you are on the track. Now if you slow down and lose or if running in rounds miss getting to the next round then that sucks. Otherwise who is really going to be upset with the guy who has the 100m and 200 m record since 2009, won Olympic Gold 3 times in a row and has 8 gold medals? Lol sounds nitpicky to me. You probably never ran track...

[@dwaynegreen1786]

In all the sprint races they time the first half of the race, once you have that time, what’s left is the second split and simple math to get the second half time for the race. Taking in account physics, speed is not constant in humans. Theoretically, a human decreases in acceleration towards the end of a race and the best attain top speed at about 30 meters and can only maintain to about 60 to 70 meters. So the longer you can maintain top speed, the faster your finishing time will be. The sprint races are in two phases, the first part is acceleration and the second part is maintaining momentum. Amazingly, Bolt, later in his career and Xavier (X Man) in this race was able to maintain his speed when he was supposed to be slowing down and that’s called a “negative split” when you run the second part faster than the first and 9.92...that is amazing even with momentum helping.
