Success in Track & Field ... and Life

When you have the top sprinters in the world jogging a sub-10 second or 10 flat 100 meters, you know these guys have something in reserve will produce something special in the Semis and Finals.

I thought Asafa Powell executed his race the best as he ran his own race in Lane 1, and relaxed at 70 meters.  Lane 1 was also the the same lane as Jesse Owens in 1936.

Tyson Gay had a horrible start, but eventually catches the filed and eased up the last 10 meters.  To me, that looked like a “hard” 9.98.

Usain Bolt had a mediocre start, and once he caught Daniel Bailey at the 40 meter mark, the two of them literally jogged the last 60 meters.

Here is a compilation of the 5 Quarter-Final videos from the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

UPDATE: Sorry, the video is no longer on YouTube.
