I like to imagine that the gif is not simply repeating but rather that Usain is running really fast around the track and she is constantly falling for his antics.

[–]Schym 30 points31 points ago

Oh, YOU(SAIN).

[–]Apollo64 0 points1 point ago

It's pronounced oosane, though.

[–]Schym 16 points17 points ago

Stop ruining my fun...

[–]Intuition17 290 points291 points ago

It looks like he's just jogging but he's probably still moving faster than most of us can sprint.

[–]Osiris32 98 points99 points ago

He ran that relay at an average speed of 24.5 mph.

He could be cited for speeding in a school zone.

He probably IS jogging faster than we can sprint. Dude lives up to his name.

[–]steviesteveo12 59 points60 points ago

There's a vehicle safety advert in the UK which talks about the odds of killing a child if you hit them at certain speeds.

Accordingly, there was a comment after the 100m final which said "Usian Bolt runs at 31mph, which sounds good, but if he hits a child, there is a 40% chance they'll die"

[–]mkdz 62 points63 points ago

Only if he was the same mass as a car...

[–]youregonnaloveme 83 points84 points ago

or eye socket

[–]N69sZelda 5 points6 points ago

or if he shoots the kid in the face with a 30-06 and injects him with cyanide.

[–]PhotonMalaise 1 point2 points ago

He could probably just run faster to make up for it.

Kid shouldn't have been on the track.

[–]azimir 9 points10 points ago

I say, my good man, I thought he was going a mere 64,512 furlongs/fortnight! He is indeed quite the sparker!

[–]snarkyaardvark 6 points7 points ago

For the Canadian colonies, I leave you this, 24.5 mph -> 24 and 1/2 badgers per second as the crow flies.

[–]exocutioner 2 points3 points ago

yah but how long can he run at 24 mph pace?

[–]ProtiK 54 points55 points ago

Longer than you can.

[–]exocutioner 11 points12 points ago

I cant run 24 mph at all.. so yes you're right. but no it was a legit question

[–]GTDesperado 15 points16 points ago

He's shown he can maintain it for at least 9 seconds.

I like how she kind of reaches back for half a second after the hand off bluff. Before her brain can even comprehend what happened he's like 10 meters away.

[–]Daroo425 1 point2 points ago

[–]radiobaby 0 points1 point ago

haha I was just about to write the same thing, look how much ground he covers in just that like 3 seconds.

[–]zdh989 0 points1 point ago

He only takes 6 strides in this clip. And look how much ground he covered. Crazy.

[–]kepleronlyknows 568 points569 points ago

I dig his sense of humor. This one's my favorite.

[–]splel_cechk_fwt 145 points146 points ago

It woulda been a kinda dick move if he hadn't. I like this Bolt guy.

Just go get him, I am sure you can catch him.

Somebody photoshop the baton into an upvote, please, thank you.

[–]kramboid 159 points160 points ago

[–]Mrekat 33 points34 points ago

Looks like you actually put effort into yours too, with the rotation and all.

[–]kramboid 16 points17 points ago

Probably the reason I lost the race ;)

Simplicity is often the best choice.

[–]Mrekat 14 points15 points ago

Yeah I would normally agree but, well yours is just better ;)

[–]T3mporaryGold 15 points16 points ago

[–]Mrekat 616 points617 points ago

[–]flargoo 53 points54 points ago

you need to make a new post with this before someone else steals all your precious karma. Something like "Me every time someone posts a funny picture with a bad title"

[–]Mrekat 28 points29 points ago

It appears it has already been done :( Ah well, probably wouldn't have made a post anyway.

[–]LeaferWasTaken 5 points6 points ago

It's been deleted. Now go post it so I can upvote it.

[–]Mrekat 4 points5 points ago

Not sure about the title but I was rushed!

I redid this maybe four times over because I didn't know how to get it how to work. Turned into an exercise in learning the timeline stuff in CS6.

[–]Jump_My_Juicy 14 points15 points ago

In WoW Trolls have a Jamaican accent. I think that's what they're getting at.

[–]safetyseal 8 points9 points ago

a inner troll

If you say it out loud, you'll get it.

e: Oh, I see. I thought they really didn't understand. Just trying to be helpful. ):

[–]Alphreak 9 points10 points ago

What? Explain, please.

[–]PseudoFake 7 points8 points ago

It should be AN inner troll.

[–]Alphreak 10 points11 points ago

Please explain again, I don't understand the joke :'(

[–]catcradle5 8 points9 points ago

...Are you trolling?

[–]fapsmear 3 points4 points ago

Whats trolling?

[–]4120447265616d6572 5 points6 points ago

So basically, the joke is founded on one of the basic concepts.

[–]chefman777 2 points3 points ago

So Snoop Dogg's just trolling us right?....right?

[–]SchlapHappy 2 points3 points ago

Every Jamaican I have ever met has been a troll so this statement holds up as far as I can tell.

[–]Intrexa 33 points34 points ago

God he moves fast

[–]dnew 44 points45 points ago

27MPH. Get in your car, drive along at 27MPH, and look out the side window.

[–]FarmerTedd 136 points137 points ago

[–]Huffheinz 3 points4 points ago

Most people couldn't even do that with a flying start on a bicycle.

[–]DeweyFat 10 points11 points ago

31 MPH in the 100.

[–]inefekt 28 points29 points ago

Wrong.
dnew had it right, his maximum speed is 27.44mph or 44.46kph.

[–]Stranger371 8 points9 points ago

Holy shit, that is fast.

[–]morningmary 7 points8 points ago

I am in second gear at 31 mph @_@

[–]oogaboogacaveman 7 points8 points ago

then you're shifting too late my boy

[–]Psirix 18 points19 points ago

Depends on the gear ratios, the type of car, etc...etc...etc...etc...etc...etc...

P.S. etc...

[–]oogaboogacaveman 25 points26 points ago

sounds like voodoo to me

I shift when the vroom vroom gets too loud

[–]sfriniks 5 points6 points ago

I do believe that's the proper way.

[–]factotumjack 17 points18 points ago

36.85? 36.85?!?!?

36.85 / 4 = 9.2125. So on average, each person crushed the 100m sprint record. I didn't know the running start baton pass was that much of an advantage.

[–]Hoobleton 15 points16 points ago

That's less than half a second ahead of the record and, as quick as these guys are, there's no way they're at their top speed half a second out of the blocks.

[–]factotumjack 14 points15 points ago

I propose a new track and field event: The 100m running start:

Start the clock when they break a laser beam at one end of the track and stop it when they break another at the other end. I want to see how fast Bolt can really run.

Edit: Caps

[–]threecasks 15 points16 points ago

There is a 150m event but it's not common. Bolt has the world record in that too. He ran the final 100m in 8.7 seconds iirc.

edit: sweet, I did remember correctly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usain_Bolt

see- 'personal bests'

[–]danberlin 10 points11 points ago

The first 10 meters of the 100 meter race are by far the slowest part.

For example, during his 9.69 second run in 2008, the first 10 meters took 1.85 seconds.

So the first 10% of the race took ~20% of the time

In fact, the IAAF considers it a false start if you react in < 100ms from the start "gun" firing.

So you can subtract .1 seconds right away (since they don't have to react), and consider they don't have to accelerate as much, and there you go.

[–]ext2523 4 points5 points ago

It's probably even a little more. The first leg comes out of the starting block. Let's say the first leg was 10 seconds, the last 3 legs would average less than 9 seconds.

[–]the_weather_reporter 22 points23 points ago

Thanks to Usain I'm convinced Jamaicans are the most laid back people in the world

[–]Datnero362 37 points38 points ago

Of fucking course they are.

They're Jamaican.

I can confirm this.

[–]jpsquill 12 points13 points ago

He really wanted to keep that baton after the race.

[–]Pyowin 69 points70 points ago

Usain Bolt is like the perfect human being. He's incredibly playful and fun as shown by the OP. He's cocky, but not arrogant, but also respectful and reverent. Oh and he's also the fastest man on Earth.

[–]AlSpeer 50 points51 points ago

For anyone trying to view the 'respectful' above, it's hard to find due to IOC, this link from comments works (at the moment): http://thesportsgeeks.com/2012/08/05/usain-bolt-stops-interview-to-stand-in-silence-during-usa-national-anthem/

what is the weird electronic noise in the middle of the anthem?

[–]fozzyfreakingbear 15 points16 points ago

7 days...

[–]OwNii 15 points16 points ago

Bolt is 28; Blake and Weir, 24. All are coached by Jamaica's Glenn Mills, and the younger two figure to have a great future. Mills and Bolt got the party started. It will be up to Blake and Weir to keep it going.`

Bolt is actually 25, blake is 22, and weir is 22.

[–]thisishow 9 points10 points ago

He's cocky as opposed to humble.

[–]McStene 35 points36 points ago

That'sTheJoke.jpg

[–]seando17 15 points16 points ago

The fucking IOC is ridiculous. They probably wanted to test the baton to see if it was juicing.

"An official asked for the baton, and Bolt grudgingly relinquished it. His smile disappeared shortly before he did inside the tunnel leading to and from the Olympic Stadium track. It was no way for a legend to exit the world’s stage, and by the time the medals ceremony was held, Bolt had his baton back.

“He said I have to give it back, or the relay would be disqualified,” Bolt said. “That was kind of weird.” He added, “I guess somebody talked to the guy and said you need to give him the baton.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/12/sports/olympics/olympic-relay-womens-united-states-mens-bolt.html

[–]ajk712 12 points13 points ago

They probably had to weigh it

[–]I_love_my_ADD 7 points8 points ago

Why? Aren't they the ones who provide the batons to the teams?

[–]Kalmah666 16 points17 points ago

Every team has to provide their own batons as the Olympics are usually running short on budget when the relay race occurs, That is why in 1972, the french team was disqualified because they used a dildo that wasn't regulation.

Trust me im an expert, I was in the 1903 Olympics

[–]ApplesnPie 4 points5 points ago

Wouldn't they have done that beforehand though? It's not like he could have switched them lol

[–]ajk712 10 points11 points ago

I'd say that since it was a world record run they probably weighed it again just to be sure.

[–]Sindragon 59 points60 points ago

It was no way for a legend to exit the world’s stage

That's just idiotic sensationalism by a journalist trying to make a non-event into a story. They just needed the baton to check it as they do for everyone. It's hardly that big a deal, and they returned it to him afterwards anyway.

Stop pandering to the bullshit "fuck authority" circle-jerk. It's childish.
