There are three separate threads on Bolt and now that the final is over I think we should start one conclusive thread for Bolt.
Tim Hutching said it well, Usain Bolt 'is almost back'.
Bolt had a bad start in the final but got the in in 9.87 into a .8 headwind. Not a bad time for a bad start into the wind = positive. Barely beating Mike Rodgers a negative.
In the prelim Bolt ran the same 9.87 into a 1.4 wind.
His top end speed looked good.
Final, wind: -0.8
