London. A single race was enough to silence all doubters. Including me.
Usain Bolt ran from 62nd to sixth place on the world bästalistan here in London and showed that he can run even faster than the 9.87 clock stopped at.
Now I think he whips Justin Gatlin in the World Cup.
I thought that it would be impossible for Usain Bolt to come in World Cup shape after all injury worries after hardly having competed the last two seasons.
It felt like the good life and all earned millions had done Usain Bolt measure of success. That he was not quite ready to put down the job that is required.
But then he shows up one month before the World Cup, making his first race since 13 June and show that everything is normal again.
I have never been so surprised. Not even when he ran home their Olympic and World Championship gold in world record times.
This season he has had injury problems and had to set both the gala in Paris on 4 July and Lausanne in 14 days since. But after treatment of his German doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wolfarth in Munich, and two weeks of training here in England, he is back in the world elite. I do not understand what this world famous miracle doctor does, but he gets anyway momentum on their patients. I remember when Emma Green came straight to the European Championships in Barcelona Müller-Wolfarths clinic in 2010 after injury problems. Then she took the European Championship silver and jumped over two meters (2.01) for the first and only time in his career.
Bolt has a mental advantage
Now there are well those who read the “doping” between the lines, but the German doctor does not have that reputation.
He has dealt with several Swedish athletics stars such as Christian Olsson and Susanna Kallur and is very highly regarded among his patients. Although he uses some controversial practices.
Now he has Bolt on his feet again, and no one is happier than me.
There is no one I would rather looking to win the 100 and 200 meters in Beijing. And there’s no one I’d rather see lose than cheat Justin Gatlin.
Now, I still think Gatlin will give Bolt a match, but I think that Jamaica’s mental advantage is too big in a decisive final. At 100 meters is the mental part extremely crucial. Just look at Asafa Powell failed in every single championship. Even when he was favorite and fastest in the world.
No, had Usain Bolt had such a good start in the final as he had in the trials, then he would certainly cut an additional one-tenth of its 9.87 here London.
Despite headwinds. Despite the sickening väder.Trots a cold that ate the marrow, up there on the press gallery.
The coldest July day I experienced
This is the English weather can keep on writing doctoral dissertations on, but I can guarantee that on Friday here in London was
It rained from morning to night and just when the races started, it started to pour down even mer.Hela inner plane looked like a lake.
When the American Jeff Porter fell on the goal line in the attempt on the 110 hurdles, he slipped five, six meters on the stomach in the water. It looked like the finish on the 100 free in the FINA World Championships.
The men’s pole vault was canceled and I’ve never been through it happened at a gala this size before.
And when the starter would send away the women’s 1500 meters clicked the starting gun. It was too wet. It had turned into a water pistol in the wet.
The question is whether Usain Bolt doing some more races before World Championship. It was rumored late last night that he possibly could run 200 meters in the Bauhaus gala in Stockholm next week. The only option that remains to test the route for the World Cup. But I do not think, if not now Usain Bolt and his manager Ricky Simms decides to run free. Or almost, anyway. Usain Bolt received 150,000 British pounds, just over two million, to run here in London. That he set up was due to the Exchequer George Osborne went out and explained gala tax for foreign athletes. Normally, taking England out 50 percent of the performer tax and also requires a percentage of what the athletes have earned in other countries during the year.
