Yes it's him. He lives here in Australia now, on the Gold Coast where we held the 2018 Com Games

yes, I remember that race clearly (I looked for it on youtube yesterday but couldn't find it) - I know posters were saying that "white guy was pretty fast". Do you have a link WL?

so 6.56/60m for a man who just turned 20 is very good. The problem I see is lack of competition running against some slightly faster guys. And it takes very specific training to run that next 40 metres fast for a standout 100m time. Will he have a team around him knowledgable enough in all...

thought some of the old-timers here would be interested in this. I was looking up the quals and Australian under 20s team for Peru and found this... look who is our Director of Performance Sustainability. We knew he was a smart cookie! "The World Athletics Under-20 Championships represent an...

that's an equal under20 world lead. I noticed a Chinese lad, Keli Ceng, is only 1/100th behind him and a full 9 months younger. There's talent breaking through everywhere. On a side note, the Polish under 20 4x100m record set August 2021 is the 4th fastest junior run All-Time. They could well...

oh sure ..... but I was imagining how he'd think he could add another 5 metres after all the work he's already done to get to nearly 70m. Will it drive him onwards or does he just mentally shrug and let it go. Obviously Alekna will have his ordinary days so I guess the attitude to take is you...

yep, that is astounding. I think that's his dad in 3rd place all-time. Our guy Matt Denny just had his tremendous 69.37AR from last week beaten by 5 metres ...wow!

that's the Australian qualification, not sure about the Olympic Committee's decision. It would seem they're determining to save costs where medals are out of the question

you can see very well I've responded to your claims and accusations about one particular athlete by noting his performances - which are all there for you to look up yourself. I can only surmise it doesn't fit your narrative. Wonder why?

he said it happens at some time each season but can manage it successfully. He had it taped so that the patella tracked properly. He maintains it's only weeks before top form but maybe 3 races underdone with that knee issue makes rounds a problem. As it is he and our others need to post a 10.00...

that was just one of those freakish performances - Doha in 2019 - the pinnacle of his athletic life. His one and only time above 8.30m level. All the years before and after only yielded 8.20-8.30 so that would seem to make it unlikely he was on a doping regime. Even in that super year of 2019...

Agree. In fact the Chinese 4 x 100m record (done twice) of 37.79 is a very competitive time and indicates some depth coming through

3 Australian men jumped over 8m this weekend. Mitrevski won in 8.32 (27'3") Roper was the best qualifier in 8.14 (26'8") and Adcock 8.03 while Frayne was close with a 7.93. 200m was won by 20 year old Calab Law with a 20.54 (-1.1). The commentators are summing up as I type and showed Law almost...

Australian 100m champion is now 18 year old Sebastian Sultana with 10.27 (-1.2) after leading in the semis with a 10.17 legal PB. Browning was nudged out of the placings with a 10.41... he started best and faded to let 3 past him. Sultana flew past him...

this is interesting. He is of Uyghur descent. "Uyghur, a Turkic-speaking people of interior Asia. Uyghurs live for the most part in northwestern China, in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region; a small number live in the Central Asian republics". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghurs

I do believe that black sprinters over time have had more incentive to use "supplements" (when you're close to the top the monetary incentive would be a huge temptation). These guys have gone down that road - but it's wrong to tar every decent black sprinter with that brush. Are all decent...

yes sure, but it doesn't cover genealogy in any detail. France obtained Congo jurisdiction in the 1880s so who knows what went on. Only the Borlees know their family tree I guess

their father Jacques Borlee was born in the Belgian Congo. A photo of him would seem to indicate there is more than French in his genetics

he is inarguably our best ever sprinter. His top 10 average runs are around 10.05 and no-one here has come close to that. I saw patrick Johnson run a windy 9.88 in Canberra some 20 odd years ago and knew he'd have a monster season - leading to his 9.93. But no-one ran as consistently as...

it's ridiculous to say non-whites use 'roids and white guys don't. Really, can't you see that?

ok - wind predicted to be from the south-west at up 3 to 4 mps, temperature no higher than 20C, 100m track runs towards the south-east ..... grandstand may give shelter, not sure. So conditions don't appear that beneficial. Will Browning win or will Azopardi or Despard give us an upset? I'll...

and there's not much of her. Great talent and at the perfect age to make her mark internationally

that IS a great time. Do you know know her age, the wind reading etc

simply put, taking into account age and age related decline (studied over time from thousands of competing athletes i guess) times and distances masters athletes achieve are multiplied by an age dependant factor to compare it to the open age world record in the event. It can't ever be an exact...

that's her. 12.26 (-1.0) at 56. Age graded nearly 100%
