Fantastic! Nothing really to add, except that I'm glad that Christophe has rebounded so quickly, and I hope someone will provide links to videos and articles soon.

Other results from the big Birmingham meet: 1500--Russell Brown, fresh off his big victory over Webb, Willis, Verzbicas, etc--flew to the UK to face the Kenyans. He wasn't unable to hang with them (finishing fifth), but if jet lag was at all a factor (he lives on the west coast, so that's...

This week's Flotrack Kick of the Week (Elliot Heath in the 3000). Worth a view: http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/238259-Flotracks-Tasty-Race-and-Kick-of-the-Week-2011/video/462343-Kick-of-the-Week-Feb-15th

Here are some videos from the weekend. 1) Someone asked about Jordan Boase. Here's his 400, an easy victory. http://www.flotrack.org/coverage/238137-Flotrack-Husky-Classic-2011/video/458437-M-400-H09-live 2) Heeeere's Hannah...

Good catch on Talbot, Lightning. That is an excellent indoor time for someone so young. It was hard to find times to get excited about at the UK trials, on account of the dreadful scheduling you mentioned earlier. Virtually every event had to run repeated heats and finals in the same day...

I checked the meets earlier this morning while I was at my girlfriend's, so I don't have all the links handy, but here's some stuff I remember: 1) No time for Gehret in the 200. He's listed as a DQ. Too bad he couldn't have squared off against Byram! 2) Chris Solinsky ran the best mile time in...

Hannah is running today against the college girls at the UW Flotrack meet. I can't recall who else is there (a lot of teams have gone to the Tyson meet instead), but if any of you guys are at home with nothing to do, Flotrack will be broadcasting the entire event. There is supposed to be a...

Gehret speaks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YSgfIWfd20

And then there's this, by the sophomore from Scotland, Chris O'Hare last night. You don't see runs this gutty every day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfeAhNhecNs That's a 3:56 indoors by a sophomore!!!

Oh, don't worry. I'm just venting. I'm a Christophe LeMaitre man to the end. Pickering, too. I just feel like there's no way he should have come out slower this year than last, and it's looking like his coach doesn't have a clue. But, believe me, I am hoping he turns this around before the...

Gehret (not surprisingly) is emerging as the most advanced of the baby Wariners. Last night, he finished fourth out of 75 collegiate runners in the 400 at the Tyson Invitational. He ran a very solid 46.25 (remember, that's indoors). And he's just a freshman. Fellow freshman Neil Braddy ran an...

Christophe apparently won't even run in the Euro indoor championships now. His coach has ordered him to rest for two weeks. And now I see this video where he's huffing and puffing long after the race is over, whereas all of his competitors recovered immediately. Tiredness doesn't make you huff...

This could be premature, but along with Gehret and Braddy, both of whom are running this weekend (Patrick Farmer has disappeared, perhaps injured), I think we should keep an eye on the young Brit Jack Green. He'll be running at the Aviva British championships in the 400 and, aside from taking...

Do you know where to find a start list? Is anyone interesting running?

That sounds like good news. I couldn't get the video to work, so I appreciate the summary.

The other name we should start paying attention to is Russell Brown, the guy who smoked Willis and Webb (though Webb was out of shape) Saturday. He's had calf injuries for years, but apparently he's been hiding serious talent behind those injuries. There are lots of articles about him nowadays...

Guys, I believe we have a new name to watch. Running a four-minute mile? Impressive, but not good enough to win a gold. Running a four minute mile indoors? Much more impressive, but still there are plenty of Kenyans who can pull that off. Running a 4 minute mile all by yourself with absolutely...

Well, I'm pretty danged disappointed which is why I am being hard on him. The problem is--and we all know this--he isn't just an athlete any more. He is a symbol. There's no avoiding it. He stands for a lot more than just Christophe LeMaitre now. A lot of kids are looking up to him. He could...

God, it just keeps getting worse. He's now got four 60 times under his belt this year and every time is slower than his slowest time for all of last season. Apparently, eating hamburgers and changing time zones every two weeks is no way to improve. Who would have thought? This is bad. Very...

Here's the start list for Tuesday in Lieven. Not a lot of interesting races. However, LeMaitre will be attempting to bounce back in the 60 and 200 from the looks of things...

Yeah, hopefully this is a temporary thing with LeMaitre. He had only returned from Miami two days earlier, and before that Japan, so he could have been suffering from some serious jet lag. His times Saturday were actually slower than his slowest times last year. Appalling. I really don't think...
