    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    He won easily, but only with a 6.66. Hopefully, he was just having an off day, as he really needs to improve his start to be competitive at the top ranks.

    the next Wariner? Pick one

    A little more. Amongst the guys Farmer beat in the 400 was John Thomas, who has been bragging about how he intends to break the U.S. 300 record. It was when Farmer seemingly jogged past Thomas that the p.a. announcer went nuts. Farmer has also run one 300 this winter (the only 300 in his life)...

    the next Wariner? Pick one

    Yesterday, h.s. senior Brady Gehret, blistered an indoor 48.06 to run the fastest indoor 400 in the country this year. Gehret's mark edged that of Patrick Farmer, who had earlier run a 48.20. These two guys could be dueling for Olympic gold someday. First Farmer--this kid is ridiculous. He'd...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Rats. I'll just have to wait, as I've absolutely refused to join Facebook, no matter how many people have asked. The Internet has already occupied too much of my life. I'm not going to let it steal another half hour a day! Back to LeMaitre, I've never seen another sprinter run with his same...

    2010 Indoor Track Season.

    Well, the less time spent worrying about "cultural marxism" the better, in my opinion. I'm here for the sports! Now, as for Guliyev, total agreement. He looks amazing, too. I only hope both those guys (and a lot of others) can keep improving. At the moment, LeMaitre appears to have the...

    2010 Indoor Track Season.

    Thanks. At first, I wasn't sure if I should post, as I see some people making anti-semitic remarks (which I disagree with) and occasionally other troubling things, but on the whole, I'm finding the boards very useful for a sports fan such as myself, so I figured I might try to contribute...

    2010 Indoor Track Season.

    A few other performances: In the sprints: "Former world finalist Matic Osovnikar achieved 6.83 at 60 m" and "Denmark sprint champion Martin Krabbe clocked 6.83 to win the 60 m during Reykjavik International indoor meet as the best result of the day." Unfortunately, these times were very...

    2010 Indoor Track Season.

    The times are getting better already, actually. Arnaldo Abrantes of Portugal just ran 6.71 in their national meet, and Shane Crawford of Purdue ran 6.72 at the Purdue Invitational. I assume both of these were good for first places, as they were noteworthy enough to be cited in a track and field...
