Hes too little and you can tell he's probably already max'd out his potential.
Bolt hit his peak around the same age and even on his record breaking sprints he would coast
towards the end because he's so far ahead of everyone.
De Grasse is 21. Bolt peaked where most sprinters peak, around 24-25. :neutral:

I think Bolt peaked before that, he was only about 17-18 yrs old his first olympics when he didnt medal.
Probably peaked around 23 yrs old if yr going strictly by times.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to watch this from Denmark, but CBC Olympics coverage is pretty good.

Here's a link to test out. Currently a few events are "in progress".

True, he was turning 23 when he set his best times. Obviously there's no exact date after which you can't run faster anymore. Still, the consensus is roughly lower to mid-20s for male sprinters, so I think it's safe to think that De Grasse still has some time. It doesn't have to be at the Olympics, anyway.

And yeah, I agree that it's hard to imagine him competing with Bolt's times given his size, but Bolt shouldn't be as good at the 100 as he is. So who knows. :noclue:

thanks Artemis! Unfortunately I get this message on every video: We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Don't know if it's a polite way of telling me I, as a Dane, have no business being there or if it's the real thing.

I'll try again in an hour or so and keep looking for other streams

only IP addresses originating from within the respective countries can access it. No Canadian IP? No CBC streaming
:sad:

Too bad.

Have you tried a search on Serbian sports streams? For sure, ALL of Serbia will be watching this game. :lol:
I think most TV stations and sports stations will have live streams to watch.

Also, a site I found with the top streaming sites for sports:

I've used the Batman stream before.
https://www.bestsportstreaming.com/

if creep is around, he can probably find a site for you.

Can't wait for the fireworks. Closing ceremonies have always been so fucking boring to me. It's one of those things that you have to be there to have fun. Fucking athletes :sui:

Wonder who's gonna be on the Wheaties box? Probably the gymnast Simone and deservingly so.

Be cool if it was Claressa Shields though. Damn she has some fast hands throwing those five punch combos.
