    I think he's very very talented but he's beginning to know it , arrogance is never a good trait. If he loses he's going to receive a lot of backlash and it will be his own doing.

    No, he's not past his best yet. I think he's gonna unleash something for us this summer, he will actually sprint to the finish line this time.

    I'd say it depends on what you count as 'best'. Personally I think this is his best:

    He'll be fine as long as he keeps up his chicken nuggets diet.

    Right...

    I want to see what TSR thinks of this because we've got a disagreement in the TSR office.

    I think Usain Bolt is past his best. He's admitted he's only "95% fit" coming to London and with Blake, Gay et al all breathing down his neck I can't see him emulating Beijing or coming close to new world records.

    Don't get me wrong, a 95% fit Usain Bolt is still a force, but his but the smile and swagger has started to disappear, injuries are becoming a problem, pressure is on and his form is questionable.


    I think we've already seen the brilliant best of Usain Bolt in Beijing. shooks (our editor) disagrees with me...

    Settle it TSR!
    Did anyone else spot the made-up "staff dispute"...?

    They're just taking a break from deleting threads with a left-wing tone or anything that knocks one of the TSR commercial sponsors.

    Well he just cruised through that heat, so I think we can safely say he's a contender. Whether he's as good as he was in Beijing I don't know, but easily still good enough to compete for Golds.

    That was a pretty poor time though. 10.09 I think, and Blake was 10 on the dot.

    I think that Usain Bolt is one of the most arrogant people in sport today.


    And yes, I think he is past his best.
    When you're are as good as he is. It is justified.

    It was the heats though most world class sprinters will just breeze it.

    He did look quite relaxed in his race too...I think it was him looking around has he approached the line, rather than completely focusing.

    Will be interesting to see how things develop tomorrow when he's up against tougher competition.
