Moderators DennisD Posted August 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2009 I agree. Every now and again an athlete appears on the scene who is on, or maybe even from, another planet. This boy is truly amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formfrank84 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I watched the Berlin Athletics Live and saw him run. Is this boy from Jupiter? 100/9.58= 10.44 m/s ! How big is a meter?- just lengthier than to a stride. Considering someone doing approximately 10.5m/s is truly amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icedrake Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Man why couldn't the US just switch to the metric system. It would make everything so much less confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
