Just saw Tyson gay run the fast time ever in the 100m. 9.68. That is just blazing.
O ya that was only the finals of the U.S. trials
Cant wait for the Olympics

Read in the Boston Globe this morning about a bunch of companies speculating on big endorsements with him before he had even qualified for the Olympics. I guess those investments paid off.

His time of 9.68 seconds at the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday doesn’t count as a world record, because it was run with the help of a too-strong tailwind. Here’s what does matter: Gay qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice he’s certainly someone to watch in Beijing.

Ya i know they said that during the race but it still counts as the fast time at that distance

So you thought it was a thread about the Football Cafe, then?
No CG thought that this thread was about car racing.
