So ticked. At some idiotic bar in the States just to watch the race and the jebroni bartender insisted he had the right feed... Nope. Found out the results via CP.

Wind, too.

I learned a new word. So it wasn't a total loss for you.

Great performance by De Grasse to get the Silver.

I feel like De Grasse actually looked way more comfortable in the Semi-Finals.

Seemed to be straining a bit tonight.

18 medals now, tying the total amount won in London... With 3 days to go

Great race. DeGrasse ran slower than yesterdays heat. Bolt left the door open for DeGrasse if he could have repeated his semi final run. Still, this Olympics is the passing of the torch from the greatest ever to the soon to be best. DeGrasse is the future.

[Frequitude]

The quadruple double or even triple is not totally out of the question either.

The world record holder previously insisted Rio will be his last appearance at an Olympic Games after securing six gold medals from Beijing in 2008 and London 2012. But now it seems Bolt has not fully ruled out doing a u-turn on his plans.

“My coach always says, ‘Usain, you can always go to the 2020 Olympics if you want,’” Bolt said. “So this is why he tells me to stop talking about retirement and just take it a year at a time.”

Wow what a great performance by De Grasse.

[Acey]

What a feeling it must be to think that the only person faster than you is the GOAT, and you're just getting started.

[Nammer403]

Donovan is awesome lol

[flames_fan_down_under]

OK now we must beat Jamaica in the 4x100.

Bolt is King

Amen. Freestyle 50m run, thighstroke, backstroke, and then 100m and 200m in those plus a relay

I thought the same.

Headwind and rain certainly a factor.

Donovan Bailey is a maniac.

I feel like that is an extremely tall order. Do we even have the firepower outside of DeGrasse to even sniff a medal? Jamaica has a steady stable of runners they can toss out there.

Ya definitely a tall order, but you never know, could be mishandled baton passes, etc etc.

If Aaron Brown was running a little better I might actually believe a gold is within our sights, but its most certainly going to be a hell of a battle for silver and bronze.

He's always been. Nice to see he's finally got an an heir to the throne in DeGrasse. Bolt showed today why he's the greatest runner of all time. No shame in coming 2nd to this man.
