    2013 Moscow World Championships

    Good run from Gemili in the 200 just now. Btw in the US, has there been much said about Isinbayeva's comments supporting the recent Russian laws banning the promotion of homosexuality to children? Here in Britain (probably the world's worst place for mincing adherence to the gay lobby) the...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Real pity about that injury, but sh!t happens. Nevertheless, a good championships for Lemaitre. I must admit that, after the great season in 2011, he kinda went backwards in 2012 and seemed to be doing so again early in 2013. I was worried we had another Shirvo or Pickering: great potential as a...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Hey, nice site. I've been following Lemaitre for some time too. I agree this hasn't been his best season (2011 was) and I ws worried after watching him in London a couple of weeks back: not only the usual bad start but the amazing top speed seemed not to be there. However, he seems to have got...
