Crazy when you look at Japanese sprinting, they have over 60 sprinters that ran under 10.30 this year and lots of them younger. But their top guy only ran 10.03 so they have depth but still can’t crack the sub 10 code on a regular basis. The only country with more sub 10.3 guys is the US.

I think Combest's son King was sprinting for a while but didn't have his father's speed. I checked World Athletics, and he has a 6.90 PB in the 60m from 2023. It doesn't look like he ran this year, maybe he graduated and moved on. Hopefully he didn't fall into his dad's old habits. EDIT: For...

When I was in elementary school we played "smear the queer" and it was essentially 10 boys running around and whoever had the balls to pick up the ball got gang tackled. I don't ever remember a teacher stopping us. It hurt to be at the bottom of the pile but it was just part of being a kid and...

This is a local school somewhat near to where I live that has cancelled their season due to low participation numbers and injuries. They are 0-4 and have been outscored 191-12. They haven't scored a point since week 1. The article did mention that high school athletes can transfer now which...

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.

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?

Blaskowski should have just stood his ground. He’d never be able to please them anyways. It will be cool to see him run for Poland and I hope he keeps progressing.

I had never heard the term non practicing white either. There’s just no end to the terms they come up with.

10.19 and 10.21 are nothing worrying from Baskowski and Kennedy. They aren’t trying to peak again and it’s the end of the season. In fact those times are great when you consider everything. White sprinting has progressed so much that these times feel like a let down now!

Moving to Poland and running for them seems like a no brainer to me. I hope he makes the move!

The confusion that heckler has with race and nationality reminds me of this funny old Chael Sonnen clip:

The Polish gal really settled in and ran her own race. Didn’t panic when she got passed early on and just stayed relaxed. And yeah the black spoiled brats weren’t too happy about the hot blonde kicking their butts!

A black guy running for Slovakia which has an estimated more than 99% White population. Even ai told me that the black population of the country is unknown but likely to be very very small and possibly may be in the low hundreds.

Another Aussie that I don’t believe has been mentioned here is Alexander Colgan. He had a 10.15 +1.9 a couple years ago and then didn’t seem to run much last year and regressed. But this year he has had some improvement again and has a 10.22 +1.9, although his times are a bit all over the...

Crazy to think the world record was 9.85 then. Kennedy would have tied it with his recent run.
