    2009 World Championship of Track & Field

    LOL@mastermulti......do you remember Susen Tiedtke of Germany? I remember watching her in the 1991 World Championships while waiting for Roger Black's 400m race. If I was to be reincarnated as a grain of sand, it would be in that pit :D

    Foobar, thanks for your posts. Whitelightning - hopefully you will be mature enough to step back, re-read your ridiculously aggressive reply, and the posts of foobar and mastermulti, and accept that you are in the wrong. You wrote "We all have our opinions and views. You don't have to...

    2009 World Championship of Track & Field

    But what's he actually doing to change his form? He's obviously been training at a very high level with an elite coach for several years: why haven't these form issues you say are there been fixed since his first big year in 2005? Is he planning on changing his coach this winter? Moving to...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    His physique is reminiscent of a young Bolt. Damn shame about the DQ - I hate the "one false start then automatic dq" rule, wish they would bring back the old one. It wasn't a "learning experience" to have to go home without having run against the best: it would have been a learning...

    2009 World Championship of Track & Field

    How much difference do PEDs make in a 100m or 200m race? 0.1 secs? 0.2 secs? More? I really don't know. What's clear is that Kenteris was a phenomenal athlete regardless. But in most of his big races, he was probably the only white guy. All things being equal, and PEDs being available to all...

    2009 World Championship of Track & Field

    I think some of the problem with Craig might be the mental side of it. You probably saw the BBC documentary a couple of years back following him and a couple of the black sprinters in Britain. It's clear he's a fairly quiet guy, not particularly brash or confident. Also, it's clear that Simeon...

    I'd agree with Cletus. There's a lot of talk, and occasional fast times in unimportant races, but making the 100m final of a world champs/Olympics is something special. The 200m, and indoor events, are all well and good, but the 100 is the real blue riband event, the one which everyone looks...

    2009 World Championship of Track & Field

    Hello, I've been lurking on this forum for aaaaages and thought I'd join in the discussion, what with Bolt's incredible time. With all this PED talk, I've no doubt that some top sprinters are on them, but how cam you be so sure that white sprinters aren't on them too? It's not impossible: I...
