    2025 Track Results

    For me this is not horrible. I think it shows consistency that he is pretty much always below 10.1 now. He has more work to do to get down to consistent sub 10’s but he will get there. Although he won, Thompson was also a tenth slower than what he ran just a few days ago so all in all I think...

    It’s unfortunate, but maybe Browning is just a 10.0x guy. That’s still faster than almost any human that’s ever lived so it’s not taking anything away from him. He just doesn’t seem to be able to find that next level. Once again, I hope I’m wrong but that may just be the case.

    2025 Track Results

    That’s basically the most stacked field in the world right now. This is what you have to do if you want to get better. You can’t be afraid to get beat. Thompson should win this one as he is in top form, clearly roided out. Another 9.7 Jamaican, nothing to see here….but that’s for another...

    2025 Track Results

    It’s the same with Pietro Mennea’s white 200 meter record. It’s almost 50 years old and nobody has been able to beat it.

    2025 Track Results

    What a race he had. The way he kept pulling through the whole race indicates to me he's ready for a sub 10 with just a little more work. Once you've watched enough sprinting you can just tell when a sprinter is on the next level. It's usually not the start, but the way they close out the...

    Class of 2026

    I read that article and it talks about how he was touted as having world class speed. The reality is that he just doesn't. Not even close actually. His wind legal personal best in the 100 is 10.30. That is very fast of course for a high school varsity track team, but not anywhere close to...

    2025 Track Results

    A good example might be Louie Hinchcliffe working with Carl Lewis. They probably just kind of gel together. Be interesting to see if he gets any faster. I just checked and it looks like Hichcliffe has only run once this year on May 25th and his time was 11.65. Maybe it’s injuries or some...

    2025 Track Results

    His only 3 100m races this year have been in the 10.6 and 10.7 range. Not a promising sign, he must be battling injuries. Dominik Kopec ran a 10.26 into a negative wind on June 13th. He had a 10.09 last year and a 10.05 the year before. He is 30 but maybe he can pull something out this year...

    Yeah I agree. At this point in his career he can’t afford to be getting disqualified like that!

    Israel - Hamas conflict

    Yep it’s been the same talking points for decades now. The constant fear mongering and the constant war. We are all so tired of it.

    Konstantin Krylov 10.14 & 20.42

    I think sprinting is more or less a sport that Russia doesn’t care a lot about in current times. This year for example they only have 6 guys that have run a 10.5 or better. Heck, they only have 28 guys so far this year that have run under 11. That’s a participation issue, not a talent or...

    All-Time List of Fastest Men of Non-African Descent

    That’s a great list. I will always believe that Lemaitre could have been in the 9.7 club if he had a personality like Lachlan Kennedy! Either way it’s proof that guys all over the world can put down some blazing times and compete with the best.

    2025 Track Results

    I had a funny conversation with ChatGPT the other night. I asked the simple question of whether black people are faster or not. It boldly denied that any race is faster than any other. It simply stated that there are a multitude of factors that come into play, some being genetic and then it...

    The All Time USA White 100m

    It doesn’t mean much but I decided to ask ChatGPT to estimate what Larry Quelstad’s time would be today and it estimated it to be a 9.98-10.04. Kind of interesting.

    Donald Trump for President

    As long as republicans are able to keep power, it’s great. They can keep booting out illegals and keep immigration to a minimum. If the democrats get back in power though they are going to purposely open the doors wide open and it will be a complete disaster. The power struggle between right...
