Here's Correa's win in the 200m. An hour earlier he also anchored Brazil to the gold in the 4x100m relay.

19 year old Renan Correa of Brazil ran 20.37 this afternoon to win the 200m at the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.

The 49ers traded for Chase Young,

Frank Howard has passed away. A literal giant in baseball. https://www.mlb.com/news/frank-howard-dies

Britain always seems to have excellent 400m runners. They were especially strong in the 1990s, when they had 3 sub-44.50 guys - David Grindley, Roger Black, and Iwan Thomas.

Wow!!! Thanks for this Mastermulti. What a great race by Grindley - taking down Quincy Watts, Butch Reynolds, and Steve Lewis among others. I knew about Grindley, but never saw any of his individual races. I remember thinking that he was going to be the next great European 400m runner. But...

Is McCaffrey being targeted? https://www.yahoo.com/sports/shanahan-sees-no-ill-intent-215238470.html

3 TDs for Kittle, 1 for McCaffrey, and 1 for Juszczyk ..... there's a lot to like on 49ers offense.

Alleyne Francique is Fred Kerley's coach.

Unfortunately, Boonson was injured and fell to the track during the 200m heats. https://www.nationthailand.com/lifestyle/sport/40027399

Oh my God! He was the greatest!! A beast who put fear in the hearts of his opponents. One of my all-time favorites.

Well the track season hasn't ended in Asia. Today at the Asian Games in China, Zhenye Xie ran a windy (2.4w) 9.97 in the finals, with 17 yr old Puripol Boonson of Thailand 2nd in 10.03. In the semis, they ran wind legal times (1.4w) of 10.03 and 10.06 respectively.

Gaitln Bair is going to Boise State. However, no mention of him running track there. https://www.deseret.com/2023/8/5/23821564/gatlin-bair-commits-to-boise-state

Robinson's defensive play in the World Series (1970) was legendary.

Elaine Thompson, Shelly-Ann Fraser, Shericka Jackson .... all with braces.

Here are Jamaica's 3 big female sprinters - Elaine Thompson Herah, Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, and Shericka Jackson. If you look closely, you can see that what they have in common is an orthodontist.

I have seen/heard some chat that the 49ers haven't used their back-up RB, Elijah Mitchell. Mitchell had been pretty good when McCaffrey wasn't available for whatever reason. But I find this kind of talk very curious....when does the media worry that the back-up isn't being used, when your 1st...

No doubt that at least Warholm and Ingebrigtsen are inspiring young Norwegian athletes. And perhaps, young athletes all over northern Europe. Hopefully, Femke Bol is also having the same effect on a lot of young European female athletes.

Tortu ran 20.30 against serious competition. It's crazy that he can run down sub-10 sprinters on the relay, but a week or so later, can only run 20.30. Something is wrong. He should return to running the 100m, and put the 200m on the back burner.

Serbia is who we should be rooting for here. And wouldn't it say something if Serbia wins the FIBA tournament (without Jokic), after Jokic won the NBA Championship with Denver. Serbia could make a serious case for being the world's best basketball country. And on the same weekend, Djokovic...

I was thinking about about the discussion on the Boling thread about the 'caste system' in T&F in America, and then also about Jonathan Edwards. I think there is no doubt that in track, white American athletes are pushed up in distance away from the sprints, just like in football, where they...

I really feel that Amy Hunt and Charlie Dobson are the British equivalents of Abby Steiner and Matthew Boling. The Americans might be slightly more talented, but they are all about the same age, and all just finished university. It will be interesting to see how they all progress in the future...
