Yohan Blake just ran a 9.85 semi-final qualifier in the 100m wearing this beast, what is it?

 

[wuyeah]

Richard Mille?

 

[CGSshorty]

I noticed that too. it appears to be a Richard Mille.

You know you're a WIS when you wear a watch to an Olympic qualifying match......and a crazy expensive one to boot.

That watch might have slowed him down about .4 of a second due to the weight and friction when it hits the air.


















































just kidding lol

 

[Sodiac]

P.S. he topped it with a 9.75 in the 100m final for a Silver medal, still wearing the watch!

I read that there will be some sort of press release from Richard Mille after the games are over due to the Draconian corporate sponsorship policies of the IOC. Has anyone spotted an athlete wearing the "official" timekeeper of the olympics yet?

It is a very light watch, weighing less than 5g. Nicer than Bolt's Hublot.

 

[Ecksdee]

Wow, great catch guys!

And I'd agree- I feel like Hubolt is a hybrid wannabe AP/wannabe RM. No offense to any hubolt owners!

Very good catch - I must have watched a replay of the final 15 times and never daw the watch. Did anyone else catch that some %$#@# threw a water bottle in behind the runners just after they were called to the "set" position? Clearly trying to initiate a false start. Hope they publicly flogged the scumbag.

I clocked it in the heats and Semi but I wasn't really thinking about it in the Final. Yeah I seen that, cannot believe that someone would even think about throwing anything, just absolutely disgusting behaviour. I hope they were caught and thrown out.

 

[MattOmega]

The guy that threw the bottle was caught see here

Thanks for the update. So cool that Blake is wearing this piece while winning silver. Omega may be the official sponsor, but I don't recall any other athlete wearing an Omega - or any watch - while actually winning a medal.

5 grams? That's less than 1/5 ounce.

 

[TK-421]

he is not a WIS, he is getting paid. i caught in in the semifinals and thought that he would take it off for the finals. did anyone notice him looking at the tachometer 25m in?

without that watch he could of beat Bolt LOL~

Yeah, that can't be right, even the strap has to be more than 5 grams!

On the top step of the podium, here's Usain Bolt's watch: Hublot?
