Meanwhile, the Dutch women with Lieke Klaver and Femke Bol win the 4x400m relay over the USA. Good work by these northern European countries.

Doom anchored Belgium to the gold medal in the 4x400m relay at the World Indoor Championships. Their team was made up of 4 white guys from a small country. That tells you something. Matthew Boling ran the 2nd leg for the USA, and brings home a silver medal.

Boling (and Trevor Bassitt) ran in the heats on USA 4x400m team today at the World Indoor Championships. Don't know if he will be running in the final this afternoon.

So far it's been a good championships. In the women's 60m, Swoboda took 2nd, while setting a WL time of 6.98 in her semi-final. Also I was glad to see Rani Roisus, Patricia Van Der Weken, and Zoe Hobbs also in the finals. In the men's 60m, Henrik Larrson took 5th, as WL mentioned. But he was...

5 out of the 6 Men's finalists in the 400 meters were white. That's pretty amazing.

That same year (1969) that Dickie Post lead the league in rushing, his teammate, Lance Alworth, lead the league in receptions.

Came across this on youtube. The way Dickie Post runs reminds me so much of CMac. He was the last white guy to lead the league in rushing (AFL 1969) before CMC. What do you think? Go to 9:50 on this video.

Tyler Azcano was the fastest qualifier in the ACC 60m heats - 6.63. Meanwhile, Brody Buffington qualified for the SEC 60m finals, also running 6.63.

A newcomer, 17yr old Johanna Martin, won the 400m at the German National Championships. Her time of 52.55 puts her fourth fastest on the European indoor all-time U20 list. She's basically a high schooler. Pretty impressive. https://www.instagram.com/dlv_online/reel/C3fgYOdokIn/

This athlete is not so much forgotten, as much as 'never knew about'. Yvette Williams of New Zealand was a gold medalist in the Long Jump at the 1952 Olympics, and later set a WR in the same event. She also competed successfully in the hurdles, the javelin, the shot put, and the discus! You can...

Femke Bol sets a World Record in the indoor 400m at the Dutch Championships. https://worldathletics.org/news/report/femke-bol-world-indoor-400m-record-apeldoorn-2024

Well Coby and Sam both finished out of the qualifiers for the final. Sam ran a pretty good race, but Coby was disappointing. He had a terrible start, but fought his way back, and then let up a few strides from the finish. If he had run through the tape he might have very well made the finals as...

I don't think you can fault Boling for running the 400m at the US Championships. He had a much, much better chance to make the team for the World Indoor Championships in the 400m than in the 60m. (The 200m is not run at the World Championships.) So the 400m was almost a no-brainer. I'm sure he...

But at least Brian Faust won!

Trey Cunningham wins the 60m hurdles at the US Championships, in a great time of 7.39.

Boling wins his heat in 45.86. Faust wins his heat in 45.57. So that's 2 white guys in the 400m final.

Trevor Bassitt, Brian Faust, and Matthew Boling are running in the 400m heats of the USATF Championships tonight. Coby Hilton and Sam Blaskowski are in the 60m heats tomorrow.

I would guess that he's 1/4 black.

Matthew Boling ran an indoor PB today of 45.47, finishing 2nd (but 1st in his heat) at a meet at Clemson. Brian Faust finished 1st in his heat in 45.83.

One type of athleticism that is never talked about these days, is hand-eye coordination. It's essential in baseball, basketball, and hockey. Football to a lesser degree. I remember someone - Red Auerbach or Bobby Knight - saying that Larry Bird had the best hand-eye coordination of any player...

The Mavs beat the Knicks in New York. Doncic with 39 points. DiVencenzo with 36 points for NY.

So Lamar Jackson wins the NFL MVP, which isn't much of a surprise. But Dak Prescott was 2nd, ahead of CMC and Purdy respectively. I don't see how Dak rates above Purdy. Purdy is in the Super Bowl, and had great QB stats.

Since the SI article was written, white Europeans have had a significant impact on the NBA, even at the highest levels. Because they don't grow up with blacks, these Europeans aren't 'pushed out' or intimidated into not participating, as many white kids are (per the article). They don't have to...
