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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

Looks like Christophe agrees with some of the earlier posts about having an advantage in cold/rainy weather over americans and jamaicans
