    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Some people in this forum forget that being a fan means being positive. Caraz is a coach for a reason. He is a professional. No one in this forum gets paid to train athletes and despite what they think, they could not successfully train Christophe nor do they know how. Caraz knows how. You...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    The results will soon be evident. The observant will notice the added muscle. Although, still small compared to some, it is clearly an increase for Christophe. Muscle is good but only if it adds power. The added power will soon be evident. 20.17 in cold weather and with an intentionally slow start.

    Carraz "On va changer des choses". I hope he does! There is a lot that can be improved upon.

    Is Bolt on Drugs?

    Yeah I think the turning point in 2011 was the race Blake ran 9.95 and Christophe nearly caught him at the line with a 9.96. Blake progression from that race forward took leaps and bounds. Perhaps that race served as a wake up call for Blake to start juicing and assure that it's never that close...

    Is Bolt on Drugs?

    There ya go Lactaking. You saw it all on your own. There is an obvious 3+ year plateau in his times followed by an incredible drop that just "coincidently" happened to fall on an olympic year. I would love to believe that he is a once-in-a-century athlete naturally. I once did. But, I no...

    You're right! Lemaitre is not clean at all. His diet is pure junk food.

    Does anyone know what the rest of Christophe's 2012 schedule looks like?

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    I came to this site over two years ago because I really like Christophe Lemaitre and there were a lot of positive fans here. I enjoyed reading the positive comments from his fans. It hasn't been fun to read a lot of the posts about Christophe's performance in London. It's understandable to be...

    Lots of pessimism up in here. Lets wait and see what Christophe can do.

    This is a leap of faith but I love it! I would love to see Lemaitre beat Blake even though it may be a very low probability. Yohan wont be running a 19.26 again any time soon and I see your 19.63 prediction for him as much more realistic for London. I believe Lemaitre has the potential to take...

    I really hope Christophe is able to get bronze in the 200m! I would love to see him crush his PB. I do believe he is in shape to run a 19.7 with good to fair conditions. Olympics start soon!

    Asafa has a nagging groin injury and may not last through the rounds. He bearly made it through the jamaican trials. He has been babying the injury since then. Tyson gay will never be the same sprinter again and has pain in the surgical labrum after every 100m. If either of them drop out after a...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Everyone understands that his chances of winning a medal in the 200 m are good and in the 100m his chances are less likely. That is clear to see. The 100m is Christophe's favorite race and the olympics is only once every 4 years. People want to see Christophe run. Caraz doesnt want to take a...

    http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sports/Lemaitre-eyes-upset-of-J-can-applecart_11982277 Looks like Christophe agrees with some of the earlier posts about having an advantage in cold/rainy weather over americans and jamaicans

    Adam Gemeli World 100 Meters Junior Champion (10.05)

    Good news to read that he is not thinking of returning to football any time soon. His track future looks as bright as can be.

    Ben Johnson was not naturally fast and could never have run even a 10.2 without PEDs. His performances were the result steriod use starting in his teens. He was the slowest guy on his team as a youth. There never was and never will be anything naturally fast about Ben Johnson. You want to know...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    I really like Christophe the way he is and what he stands for now. I believe Christophe is clean and I don't believe many sub 10 sprinters are. Christophe's himself said he hasn't gained any strength in the weight room in 4 years. This is not acceptable. But it happens to be some of the best...

    20.4 to a 19.86 just like that? hmm.... yeah no red flags there *cough*. Why is it that not one top jamaican sprinter can show me a linear progression? They all get seem to get close to the top and then overnight, make monumental drops in time that have very few natural explanations. I'm...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    This is a very good point that people often forget. Times are usually slower in Europe. In fact , I could use this same point to argue for the reason Christophe should run the 100m in London. He looked really good in is 19.91. I understand why he might only run the 200m. It would be...

    I'm really happy for Christophe. The better the competition, the better he runs. He got his second sub 20 second 200m which is wonderful. What a great win for him! His start and turn looked like one of his best to me. He gained on Martina and hugged the turn the best if seen him do. Martina...

    I really appreciate this perspective. His time in this race does not tell the whole story. His placing (3rd) and his proximity to his competitor's times says much more this time.

    RCSMAN, Thank you for your reply. You seem to have more information than many of us. I have a few questions for you. 1. What was the problem with CL adductors? 2. When you say he is doing "bodybuilding" is that just a bad translation from French to English? In English bodybuilding and weight...

    RCSMAN, I think Christophe Lemaitre is an true inspiration. I love to watch him run. He is my favorite sprinter and is uniquely gifted. My hope is to see him achieve his potential. Since I do not know all circumstances involved in his training I will not profess to know what is best for him...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Christophe's coaching staff has failed him miserably. Christophe himself said he has been lifting weights for four years with no improvement. His lack of improvement must be fall heavily on the shoulders of his coaches. Most coaches could have easily increased his strength within the first 6...
