    Greatest White Sprinter of All Time

    I was checking the all-time European 200m list. I did not realize it, but Ramil Guliyev has run sub 20, eight different times!! Very impressive! That raises my rating of him. In contrast, Christophe Lemaitre, who is the same age as Guliyev, only ran sub 20, twice. Also Guliyev's fastest 200m...

    Greatest White Sprinter of All Time

    I agree with your comments Freedom1. Talent - Lemaitre Performance - Borzov Morrow matched Borzov's performance with 100m and 200m gold, but Borzov did it more recently, so I give his performances a slight edge. Allan Wells was very, very close to matching Morrow and Borzov. He definitely...

    2023 World Outdoor Season

    I think Ceccarelli is next in line for sub-10. He has proved himself over 60m, and is still improving in the 100, Browning has been the closest to a sub-10, and has run well this season. But over the last few meets he has slowed. So he needs to re-group, and then hopefully, attack that 10 flat...

    I thine we mentioned Camden Bentley of Ohio last year. She is a former gymnast. This weekend she became a national champion, winning the New Balance Nationals 100m hurdles title. She has the 3rd fastest time in the country, and like another speedster from Ohio, Abby Steiner, she will be...

    Mia Brahe-Pedersen ran an amazing 22.43 to win the Nike Nationals 200m today. That is the fastest time in the country, and may be a junior class record - yes, Mia is only a junior. It is tied for the #2 fastest girls 200m all-time...

    2023 World Outdoor Season

    I am SO impressed and amazed by what Norwegian athletes are doing on the track and elsewhere in sport. Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Karsten Warholm are the best in the world in their events, and even more, will go down as all-time greats in the sport. But there are many others who are performing at a...

    Yes, he didn't see that guy, and maybe that's why he didn't lean. Speaking of being tight, at the end of the race he reaches for his right quad. Might have tweaked a muscle. I notice he was a DNS in the 200m heats, maybe because of his quad. But a lot of other guys DNS, so maybe it was weather.

    Here's the race. Buffington should have leaned at the finish. He probably would have gotten 2nd place.

    Brody Buffington ran a wind legal 10.16 for 3rd place at the New Balance Nationals. 2nd place was 10.15, so he was very close. The kid is a special talent. He has run sub 10.20 on several occasions now, which is better than most of the guys we root for in Europe. Can't wait to see how he...

    Well, I was wrong. Cameron ran in the NIke Outdoor Nationals 100m finals against Mia Brahe-Pedersen and Braelyn Baker, among others. Brahe-Pedersen won in 11.11. Impressive time, and also impressive to have 3 white girls in a national high school final. Here's the video:

    Yes, very impressive. We saw it before in post #585. Unfortunately, I don't see Victoria Cameron listed in any of this week's national high school meets.

    There are several national high school all-star meets this weekend. Unfortunately, I can't find Gatlin Bair mentioned as a participant in any of them - what a shame! However, Brody Buffington and Mia Brahe-Pedersen will be competing, so let's keep our fingers crossed for some fantastic...

    Matthew Boling 9.98, 19.92, 44.84 and 8.25 LJ

    Here's an interview with Boling after the NCAAs. He has a good attitude, and he says that there was nothing up with him as we might have thought, causing his disappointing performances. But it sounds like he is motivated to continue to try to get better.

    Maybe he will run at the US Trials. Just to say that he did, and to see if he can improve his time.

    Also in Paris today, Keely Hodgkinson of Great Britain ran a National Record and World Leading 800m time of 1:55.77. On top of that, it was her first race of the season, and she dominated the race winning by a large margin. She is an incredible talent, on level in her event, with Femke Bol...

    2023 World Outdoor Season

    You might add that Ingebrigsten broke the World Record for the 2 mile today, and did so by 4.5 seconds! Incredible!! To be technical, since the 2 mile is not a regular contested distance, his time is actually a World Best Performance, rather than a World Record. But whatever you call it, Jacob...

    2023 World Outdoor Season

    And 2nd place went to someone I had never heard of, Elliot Jones of Great Britain. His time was a very solid 10.20. Also 21yr old Attila Molnar of Hungary who is having a breakout season, won a 400m race in Budapest with a very good 45.10 clocking. On the women's side, 21 yr old Boglarka...
