I've just had an opportunity to watch all of the videos. Wow. What a great start to the season. 6.57 for his first meet? Who else has done that? But the real show was in the 200. Woeful start. Can't get going out there in lane 6, too much curve. By the end of the second curve, he's...

As if the LeMaitre/Guliyev double face off (60 and 200) isn't enough, the Lieven meet on Valentine's Day will also feature young Adam Kszczot (the LeMaitre of the 800) versus Borzakovsky. What a meet! And I'll be working all day. Oh, and speaking of Valentine's, lovely Ivet Lalova is back to...

Holy Cow, track fans!--it's LeMaitre versus Guliyev tomorrow. A little Valentine's Day gift for us all: Just back from a training camp in Portugal, Christophe Lemaitre, the 200m bronze medallist and fourth place finisher in the 100m at last year’s World Championships will open his season...

I've been enjoying the rise of UK 60 indoor silver medalist Andrew Robertson. Here's an interview in which he mentions that he's coaching himself and training between part-time jobs. I'm hoping his improved 60s bode well for his specialty, the 200 in the outdoor season. Another young Brit...

Yet another record broken this weekend. Ryan Hill broke the NCAA record for the 3000 indoors: http://www.gopack.com/sports/c-track/recaps/021112aac.html

And speaking of records falling...Miles Batty of BYU just broke the NCAA record for the indoor mile! I haven't caught wind of anything from Hannah Cunliffe lately.

In other news, both Russell Brown and Ciaran 0'Lionard ran in the 3:54's for the mile tonight, which is pretty phenomenal. Unfortunately, they were running in what the Let's Run experts called the greatest indoor mile field of the past decade, possibly all time. So they lost to the Kenyans...

Galen did it! Everyone was betting against him, but Galen Rupp just broke Bernard Lagat's US record in the two mile. Ironically, the two traded records, as just minutes earlier, in Arkansas, Lagat broke Rupp's record in the 5k. Rupp's going to be a real medal threat at the Olympics, Kenyans...

I found this video introducing Kszczot. Seeing as he is just a kid but emerging as the clear LeMaitre of the 400, you guys will want to get to know him. Sheesh, we've got some exciting young ones to watch in the 800, but this kid could be another Coe.

Some interesting results have trickled in this Friday. Unfortunately, as has been the case all year, no videos, so all we have to discuss are the numbers. 1) The biggie: Kszczot just blew away a field of four Kenyans and one Sudanese in Dusseldorf. The margin of victory was enormous, and in...

It looks like Christophe is focusing on the 100 this year, rather than the 200, which I consider his better event: France's triple European sprint champion Christophe Lemaitre has said that he expects to compete in five outdoor meetings ahead of the defence of his titles at this summer's...

Well, we still don't know if Christophe is faster this year (hurry up and race!), but he's feeling better without the jet laggy trip to Miami of last year, and he's a LOT more ambitious now: Interview with Christophe Hopefully, he can reach some of those goals. It won't be easy. At any rate...

Seeing as no one else has posted it, I should mention some of the results from the New Balance meet this Saturday: 1) The best result was the mile 1) Ciaran O’Lionaird - IRL - 3:56.01 2) Taylor Milne - CAN - 3:56.40 3) Galen Rupp - USA - 3:57.10 4) Mo Farah - GBR - 3:57.92 5) Russell...

It wouldn't allow me to paste the results, but K ran a fine 1:15.26 for the win, Borzo followed at 1:16.08 and the Kenyans were well beaten (one was over 1:18).

Another interesting result from Russia. Kszczot and Borzakovsky beat all three Kenyans, including big names Kiplagat and Lalang in the 600: 1 224KSZCZOT Adam 02/09/89POL 5 1:15.26 CR 2 227BORZAKOVSKIY Yuriy 12/04/81RUS 3 1:16.08 3 225KIVUVA Jackson...

If it's at all possible to streem the Russian Winter IAAF Permit Meeting, I hope someone can find the link. It's February 5. Among others, Guliyev and Sakalauskas will run the 60 (against Dwain Chambers). Borzakovsky and Kszczot will duel in the 600 along with several Kenyans. And the...

Perhaps someone should look up more photos and possibly even a roster, but the photos accompanying this article make it obvious what sort of players made up the USA team which was (surprise!) defeated by a team of Canadians, Swedes, French, etc, in the first ever International Bowl. I certainly...

A hitherto unknown Austrian ran a 3:38 indoor 1500. He's just 22, so maybe this bodes well for his futurel

I read the translation. It says he's in good form, training at a pre-Olympic camp in Nicosia (Cyprus). Also mentions that he's married to another athlete, Yuliya Baraley (a 400m runner).

Even though I'm more interested in track than field events, I think someone should mention the continued dominance of Jesse Williams in the high jump. He's been the top American high jumper since 2007. Also, Andy Turner is still struggling with Achilles problems. He may be done for, as his...

Are you sure about Ricco Hall or just speculating? He looks practically albino in photographs. And here's a video interview: http://www.runmichigan.com/video/full.php/2011/06/04/interview-with-ricco-hall-of-east-kentwood-mhsaa-lp-d1-boys-400-meter-100-meter-champion.html

Following up on a new guy, Ricco Hall ran a 21.33 indoor 200 yesterday. Not bad for a freshman with probably very little experience on tight indoor tracks. Let's see where he finishes the season. And at the Indiana relays, Giesting again ran well. However, he was bested by another of our...

And speaking of Loxsom, watch him blow past the field on the third leg of the 4 by 400. He does this every time. Here he is, an 800 runner, who's just run an exhausting 800, and he sprints past the 400 runners like they're standing still.

Video of Loxsom's 800 heat And running pretty much the same time in the other heat, the man they are already starting to call (WL will love this), "Creese" Lightning

Video of McCarthy's mile with the shocking time: http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/247792-2012-BU-Terrier-Invitational/video/587580-M-mile-H01-McCarthy-35575-facility-record-BU-Terrier-2012
