I never saw it, but i just read up on it and supposidly he did that time with easing off towards the end of the race? wow that's impressive. He thinks he can do 9.68 if he powers through the whole race.

Yup.
In the final he ran 9.78 which was actually faster than his 9.74 because the 9.74 was done with 1.7m per second wind (max limit is 2m per second for records to be set), the 9.78 was done with 0m per second! Fastest basic time ever recorded, had there been a good wind like his 9.74, it was a defenitely a sub 9.70.

And to think that a decade ago I was going nuts over Donovan Bailey's 9.84 (for good reason of course).
Congrats to him.

Well at the time Bailey's run was indredible especially considering he started track so late in his life. Plus Bailey was Canadian and even if you were to think the real world record was Ben Johnson's, he was also Canadian. But ya a full tenth of a second taken off the world record in 11 years.
