2026 Track Results

It looked like Boonson let off the gas quite a bit at the end. He definitely can go much faster. Be interesting to see him race next year. Does anyone know if he trains exclusively in Thailand?

The rain, headwind and multiple races slowed him down, but he still tied the record.

Now this man and not Gout Gout is the real deal. I think he can run 19.70's in the next couple of years. I'm not saying that Gout Gout isn't
talented but his times are so inconsistant. Not the case with Purple Monsoon. He will be the face of Asian Sprinting for the next decade
and no doubt inspire alot of the youth.

but one is 20 and internationally sprint savvy - one is a kid who is still at school.
Gout Gout needs to stop goofing off with BOLTESQUE stupidity and become a man. Aussies will soon get sick of a show pony in our ranks.

Ghanaian heritage notwithstanding, at least Eddie Nketia doesn't carry on like that - so Aussies will not mind him iF HE NOW STAYS LOYAL to the people who've given him his chance

17 year old Taiju Goto broke his own U18 world record in the 400m hurdles at the Asian Championships, running 47.93 for the silver medal.
He is only the 3rd U20 athlete to break 48 seconds.

Australian Mason McGroder was 17 when he won Silver (only 1 cm from Gold) in the recent World under 20 champs - a LONG JUMP of 7.96 metres .
He certainly looked like he'd be our next excellent jumper.
News today that AFL (Australian Football League or Aussie Rules) may have swayed him away from athletics with a starting offer of perhaps $100,000 annual salary to jump ship.
This is why athletics remains a small sport

Speaking of rugby, I remember Trae Williams making the switch and having some highlight reel runs. Looks like he's not playing rugby or sprinting anymore though.

he was good (played in our international youth teams) but possibly couldn't quite hit that degree of proficiency in the Open ranks. Possibly years of only sprinting took something out of his development..... maybe the "read the play" intelligence
