, I've only just realise that Bolt's 19.19 secs over 200m is equivalent to 9.59 over 100m - 1000th of a sec slower than his 100m WR.



He was 2m faster than Michael Johnson's previous best (which is a quarter of a second faster than the next best run!), whilst having an aggregate wind disadvantage of 0.7m per second. It might not sound much, but in all kinds of categories it's almost beyond belief.
speaking of daftness, two decimal places is one hundredth, not one thousandth.Being the thicko that I am, I've only just realise that Bolt's 19.19 secs over 200m is equivalent to 9.59 over 100m - 1000th of a sec slower than his 100m WR.

Indeed.I assume you mean the high jumpers.
Bloody stupid event then.

but can you imagine what the track would look like?
a 10k long track?
LOL!!

I saw on the some athletics website that it was on at 8.35, but forgot to allow for the time difference and missed it.
I have the hots for the high jumper Blanka Vasic.

Perhaps only the pole vault comes close.Being the thicko that I am, I've only just realise that Bolt's 19.19 secs over 200m is equivalent to 9.59 over 100m - 1000th of a sec slower than his 100m WR.
