A delusional Gay athlete named Tyson
Tyson Gay is crazy. Well, OK, not crazy. Delusional. He told Spike Magazine that he not only wants to beat Usain Bolt in the 100m race (which is possible), but he wants to beat his world record (the delusional part). Bolt’s world record of 9.58 seconds is an absurd time. He took .11 seconds off [...]
Ridiculous: Usain Bolt shatters 200-meter record
Usain Bolt demolished the world record in the men’s 200 meters, running a 19.19 to win the gold medal at the World Track and Field Championships in Berlin.

While most Americans have been fawning over Michael Phelps since the Olympics, the International Sports Press Association has named Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt their Athlete of the Year. Phelps finished second. Both athletes had tremendous years, but I would have personally given it to Bolt as well. His world-record sprint in Beijing in the 100-meter [...]
Physicists: Usain Bolt could have run a 9.55
Jamaican sprint sensation Usain Bolt won the Olympic 100 meters in a world record time of 9.69, but he showboated the final 20 meters. Now, some physicists have calculated that Bolt could have run a mind-blowing 9.55 had he sprinted full on until the end. They have submitted their findings to the American Journal of [...]
