2025 Track Results

[NWsoccerfan]

The mens 400 has been a mixed bag of results. Out of 6 heats, only 3 white guys made it through to the semis. Dobson qualified although he finished 3rd in his heat and had the slowest qualifying time of 44.85. Edoarto Scotti of Italy qualified with a 44.45 which is a new national record. Attila Molnar of Hungary qualified with 44.55 which is also a new national record. Unfortunately Doom ran a 45.10 coming in 6th place in his heat and didn't make it through. Matthew Hudson-Smith ran a 44.68 finishing 4th and also failed to qualify.

The mens 110 hurdles only had 1 or possibly 2 white guys. Enrique Llopis from Spain won his heat in 13.22 to advance, but he doesn't look white to me. Maybe someone else can verify. The other white guy is Enzo Diessl from Austria but he finished last in his heat, failing to qualify. There should have been a handful of white guys in the event, not sure what happened.

The mens 400 hurldles Matic Ian Gucek came in 4th in his heat with a 48.92 but qualified through. Warhold surprisingly didn't win his heat, but did finish 3rd to qualify with a 48.56. Behind him in 4th from Turkey was Berke Akcam with a 48.68 which was also good enough to qualify. Alastair Chalmers from the UK also qualified finishing 3rd in his heat with a 48.86. Hopefully Warholm is in top shape as the semis and final should be pretty good.

Nobody has mentioned it but White runners have more long and middle distance medals. A New Zealand runner won the steeple chase and a French runner who is a native Frenchman won the 10k and a Swede snagged the bronze. Kenyans are looking mortal in the middle and long distance events, which is further evidence they are off the gas or at least on low performance petrol...

Llopis is a full blooded Spaniard as far as I can tell. I think he just has a dusky tan which makes look like an Arab but maybe I am wrong...

On the men’s side, no white or Asian sprinters made it out of the heats in the 100. Larsson and Hansen both ran 10.22. Browning ran 10.16 and Azzopardi ran a pedestrian 10.41. Unfortunately another year of disappointment in the 100m. I suppose it’s worth noting that Puripol Boonson ran a new PB of 10.15 in his heat but it wasn’t enough to advance.

It’s not an issue of white sprinters being too slow as anything below 10.10 would have advanced them. This is an issue of them showing up and running a couple of tenths slower than they are capable of.

no, !0.15 isn't his PB. Puripol Bonsoon is having a lean year . In 2022, 2023 and 2024 he's been in the 10.00s

Bol goes through to semis with a literal jog, Savannah Sutherland of Canada did not run well and missed the opportunity to advance. Its almost like she did not even get going....totally misjudged her needed speed to advance.

she followed up on that last slow performance from a few weeks ago. I hoped that had been a one-off
