8.90M

8,585

Will the sub 9.70sec barrier for the 100m's be matched or broken by (or before) the Olympic games in Beijing?

Usain Bolt recently had broken the world 100m record at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York by posting a 9.72sec run. Now scientist and athletes are agreeing that the sub 9.70s run will be broken sooner rather than later. So will the 9.70 will be broken before or at the Olympics? Bets! (The bet will include 9.70s as matched).

	Yes! 9.72 was amazing but Usain Bolt is relatively new to 100m & will only get better + there are a few people who are capable of breaking the record! Right choice
	No! Usain Bolt only got the 9.72 because he had the perfect wind speed carrying him (1.7m/s following wind), the record won't be broke!

I think this bet was settled incorrectly. The ques was if the sub 9.70sec would be broken by or before the olympics. It was done during the olympics!!

Settled! Usain Bolt made the time of 9.69 without even trying! He had a bad start and slowed down at the end! What a star! Congrats to all the bet winners!

No Gay can beat a Jamaican at the Olympics. Anyway not records before the Olympics. And the 9.68 was not legal.

Well, if he runs with a gas mask, there is no doubt he will be able to break the record... 9.69??

i say it will cause someone already did it but it doesnt count because it was "wind aided" witch i think is bs. because your telling me that the wind helped him that much? yeah i'll say it i know the wind can help u, i know from experience but not that much. i say if your time is "tainted" because the wind helped. In that case should we take off a second because the wind is blowing aginst u?

GREAT BET!!! Jamaica to the world!!! Bolt can only get better and Asafa Powell said he is capable of running in the 9.6's, lol. So it's only a matter of time before the WR is 9.70. I don't know if it will be broken in the next 3 months though... hmm.
