Yes the DR team is new Yams as all of sudden they have world class sprinters and a flock of them not a guy or women here or there. It doesn't pass the sniff test. I think Bol wins the silver and needs to run her own race and not worry about Sydney as there is no need for her to tie up badly...

Times were crazy fast in 200m for both the men and the women I was near certain Tortu would have gotten a lane in the final but if a sub 20 runner has to cross his fingers and hope for the best(Richardson from Trinidad) then Tortu needed to be among the top 2 and he was pipped by 3/1000th of a...

Tortu looked beyond good as he looked in pb form off of that first round qualification. He maybe the only White male to make sprint final less the 400 hurdles which some track pundits consider a hybrid sprint and middle distance event. Steiner looked just as good but that was to be expected...

With Parchment scratching himself while warming up and then the Allen dq the hurdles final had a last man standing feeling rather than a championship final. As others stated Cunningham had to sit along time in the blocks and the nerves may have got to him as this race was way off the form he...

I'm not that shocked as the men can't dope with impunity so they have pip squeak type runners in the 100 versus a string of powerhouse types. It was nice to see Yohan Blake go out in the semifinals as his bloated body seems to be aging and won't be even a fringe contender at the world level...

Yes the sprints were a white wash(no pun intended) nobody even limped into the semi final. 2 full blooded Asians are in but they both should be near the back of the pack in their semifinal as Liu wasn't even close to running a flat 10 in his first round race and the Japanese runner is an...

I too used to watch the show but have just watched scenes here and there since the series ended. I loved this scene with the waiter..

One of my favorite scenes of his career is his scoring the final point of the season in the game of death against team Tokyo in Rollerball it sums of what it means to be a gladiator...

I found it weird that Pulev fought a few hybrid boxing/MMA fights since the Joshua loss but when they mentioned his age on the broadcast, now it makes sense as we was becoming a pay cheque fighter as once guys turn 40 and they are independent of a major promoter they chase fights. Chisora has...

It starts at 515 PM EST I almost missed this one as British fights usually start at 6PM EST. Chisora entered the ring to Elvis Presley muisc, similar to Presley on his comeback tour in Hawaii this could be the last roundup for him... After 3 rounds I have to 2 to 1 Pulev. He seems to be timing...

In the 1970's you had James Caan and Burt Reynolds as the image of macho men. Caan because of his portrayal of Italian American fictional psycho Sonny Corleone and Reynolds for his mustache and Deliverance and various B action films from the late 70's. Caan who was a college running back...

Krygios was always mentioned as the best player on the tour to never... Now he might be mentioned as the best player on the tour to never win a major but this is by far and away the best run he has made in his career at a major. I don't know whether it's an attitude change or he caught a...

Wow it looks like Brian Leonard 2.0 with the highlights I saw. Similar good hands and vision and power and he did more Leonard Leaps than any other running back I have seen in a while. It would be a total waste for him to be a pure blocking back and to not be used similar to Leonard at Rutgers...

With the recent release of the new Elvis biopic I decided to watch a copy of the Kirk Russell version that I didn't know was a television biopic. It was a 2 hours and 45 minute movie sans commercials so I guess it was a two part movie. While not a bad movie for what it did I feel that it could...

Yes I recall athletes that didn't meet minimum standards would time chase them at meets with high altitude or hot conditions with weird weather patterns that could aid throws or times. Trieste used to be one of these meets in the mountains of Italy.

Now seems to be as good a time as ever to do a weekend round up. The first fight of the weekend involving Briedas defending his IBF cruiserweight against fairly obscure Samoan(really Eurasian) Australian Jai Opetaia. I thought this would be a white wash until I looked up the odds at an online...

With Swiss timing and Swiss/German thoroughness I would trust these results over say a more corrupt country like Romania. Was this meet at altitude? Thanks.

How so? Even at all comers level meets(the lowest level) wind gauges and timing have to meet IAAF standards or the times aren't considered legitimate and can't be used for qualifying for national level to world level meets. By the way where was this meet?

Yes similar to boxing a top 40 runner is just scratching by on living expenses. Also when people take into account what a Western lifestyle costs in 3rd world countries it's not much less than it is in Western countries. Essentially people living in the townships are living in homeless...

I don't think I ever have commented on this thread but your son is what track and field is all about. Hard work and dedication and chasing your dream. I wish him all the best as he clearly wants it badly or he would have quit track years ago. PS, the lack of funding and sponsorship for...

The politicization of Wimbledon is pure bs, but it's par for the course of limp wrist GB. What does Sabalanka or Medvedev have to do with the Russian war machine? If they tweeted support or volunteered to join a special forces unit that would be something else but just being somebody that is...

If Steiner were Jewish we would have had stories of rabbis telling telling their congregation of the exploits of Steiner making the rounds. Plus what Jew lives in the rust belt, her dad would have had to be a Jewish accountant that flipped on a mob group and turned states witness to live where...

After Jon Arnett he was my favorite pre merger back in terms of running style. He played in an era where the running back(usually a fullback) was the main cog in the offense and the 49ers had 3 future hall of fame members in their backfield in Hugh, Joe Perry and John Henry Johnson. It was...

I agree that these conferences are essentially a conglomerate of professional sports teams in guise of amateur school programs. Schools will fight for direct payment to the athletes because of health care costs which could be crippling for football. The PAC 12 is all but gutted with the two...
