Christian Krone (I never heard of this guy until a few weeks ago) of South Africa ran a 10.25 again in Germany with no wind. He beat former World Champion Kim Collins.

Makes me wonder where is Morne Nagel?

It's extremely interesting to me how South Africa produces so many world-class white track & field athletes. The Caucasian population must be pretty small.

Krone could end up being very special if he continues to train hard and stays healthy. He runs the deuce very well and he reminds me a little of Tobias Unger.Keep up the great sprinting Christian.

40 million people in South Africa. The proportions in South Africa according to the 2003 census...
African = 79.5%
Mixed Race = 8.9%
Asian = 2.5%
White = 9.1%

So that means about 3.6 Million white people.

Let's hear it for these white brothers showing the world how it is done.

I would love to see the look on some people in the world if these guys along with Pickering start winning medals very soon.They are getting close and time is on their side.

Paul Hession won the 200m into a negative wind.
He and Johan Wissman both had times of 20.61.
Hoogmoed 3rd.

Lucerne, Switzerland tonight (Thursday).

It would be nice if White Lightin's young Aussie favourtite Adam Miller is
in some sort of shape (although we Aussies often don't seem able to peak
again for the Northern summer)

"The Aussie sprint contingent Patrick Johnson, Clinton Hill, Mark Ormrod
and Adam Miller will join in-form steeple chaser Donna MacFarlane and
400m hurdler Brendan Cole in Lucerne, Switzerland tonight (European
time)".

I'm really suprised to see John Woods compteting on a bad knee.He didn't even run in the US Nationals.That is a good time for him especially running with an injury.He needs to be careful though and not jeopardize his career.Paul Hession was supposed to run the 100 and 200 today but only ran the deuce.He won in a time of 20.43 although the wind wasn't legal.

Simon Collio of Italy ran a new p.b. of 10.19 yesterday.We have alot of guys in the sub 10.20 range but they still are not where they need to be.We need to get a bunch of guys at least down to the 10.00 flat range to start making finals on a regular basis.With out a doubt,Pickering will probably be the first in my opinion to get in that range.I'm hoping that the World Championships in Osaka will help alot of these young sprinters to step up their game.What better time than at the second biggest event in all of track?

I saw the Collio time, the problem for a lot of these guys is they do a 10.1X and they can't do it when it counts. Pickering looks like he can do that when it matters(in championship races). When Pickering starts doing 10.0X he will final at a major(worlds or Olympics).

Information for "white lightning"

"AIS sprinter Adam Miller, who has been struggling with a knee injury,
clocked 10.30 (+1.4) to finish fourth in the 100m in Tallin, Estonia"

If he's recovered sufficiently he's our 4th relay man I'd say. I'd say it'll be
Shirvo to Ross to Miller to Johnson at this stage.
All running under 10.25 would be nice

 

[white lightning]

Thanks for the update mastermulti.You are our main reporter for the land down under.We enjoy all of your reports about the aussies.I'm still hoping Adam can take it up another notch.He reminds me of A.Yepishin in that he doesn't have the ideal sprinters body(short legs),but boy can he run.Keep us up to date mate!

Seems like a great opportunity for Matt to run fast but ,alas, he's not
there yet!Edited by: mastermulti

 

[jacknyc]

Yeah, Matt has been 'there' since 2003, which was the last time he ran under 10.25.
On a bright note though, Angel Rodriguez ran 10.18!Edited by: jacknyc

 

[white lightning]

What happened to Lukasz Chyla. Just a couple of years ago he was in the 10.20 range and then just fell off the map. I'm even more concerned with his much younger teammate Dariusz Kuc.He has been average at best this season. Hopefully he is just going through a short slump like Pickering did as he switched coaches and styles.Kuc still really needs to hit the weight room. My sister has more muscles than he does. That is why what Kuc and even C.Blume did is so impressive. Get these guys in the gym and up their calories/protein.

The young guy I really have my eyes on now aside from Pickering is Reuss of Germany.He is built like a running back and man can he run.He could be a factor in the 100 & 200 down the road.

Cristian Blum weights only 135 lbs at 5-11 and Kuc 140 at 5-10

Those are skinny quotes for milers....

They might be hard gainers though and have to wait a few years before they fill out.
