he did according to the article, a shame as he could have blown that record away if he pushed the full 100m!

Been watching him from the start, he ran a 9.92 easing off after 60/70metres then a 9.85 doing the same
decides to push it for 90 metres and celebrates for 10 and gets a 9.69 ffs
my favourite sprinter MichaelJohnson was in awe of his technique which says it all- amazing he can accelerate so quickly being so tall!(6ft5)
watch out for the 200metres now

This was simply stunning. The guy seems to run very fast with very little effort. All the history of the sport will tarnish his achievements which is a shame especially if he is clean.
