Yes this is perfect analogy, Lemaitre is the Scott Gomez of world class sprinting(I actually think Scott fell faster and harder). It's very rare that a track athlete finds lost speed after years of methodically declining. I seem to recall Felix Sanchez doing this in the 40o hurdles but he had...

Since this is low hanging fruit... Dynomite! Jimmy Walker won the PGA championship with a near flawless last round. It looked he might choke his way into a playoff when he shot his tee shot into the gallery but was steady with his next 4 shots to par the last hole for the...

Alexander Dimetrenko now has a fight lined up against Joseph Parker. It's a much tougher assignment than the blow hard Briggs, but if he wins this fight he will probably get a title shot.....http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/dimitrenko-i-am-confident-of-defeating-parker-348641

I think the turning point happened when Postal the longer man became the hunter, he gave up his reach and big man advantage. Maybe the end result would be the same but until he was nailed late in the 4th, Crawford looked wary and slightly confused on how to land and get by the long jab...

I don't know if you can call an athlete that wins an indivdual world medal a journeyman. Also a 4th place finish with retesting if somebody pisses hot he wins a medal in the blue ribbon event too. That said his career to this point and with the trajectory pointing in the wrong direction he would...

What I observed years ago and a coach admitted to ESPN was Dungy went out of his way to hire minority(Black) coaches for coordinator positions and entry level running back and defensive back positions. Many have been decent coaches, but if a White coach said I went out of my way to hire White...

The most troubling thing is his closing speed isn't there anymore. He started dying down the stretch of the 200 when in his prime he would be surging down the stretch. Also with 3 weeks to go for Rio in the past when he medaled or finaled his form was close to his peak form for the season...

This was probably the worst PPV "deep" card I have ever seen. The main event highlighted why women's fighting can't be taken seriously. A champion who folds like a deck chair the minute she gets hit is a total joke and the lack of depth in women's fighting is exposed by that farce. The...

I saw him hug a portly looking man who looked like he could be partially African that man is probably his father? Ps White Lightening was asking when was the last time a White American made a national team for the sprint hurdles. I think it was 64'. Blaine Lindgren lost in a tight race for...

It looked like Eubank Sr wanted demands that only Gayfeather and fighters with a reputation like that can make in terms of financial demands and even the announcers for the British PPV. In end the greed of SR caused this fight. It should be fun while it lasts as Brook is fast and can punch for...

I feel like its the end of days. Every moronic crazy Black with a grudge and weapons is out for "justice". The original gunman since he hated White people should have looked in the mirror the morning of the shooting and taken himself out since he wasn't a full blooded African and done the...

Russia is banned from sending a team to any iaaf sanctioned events. Russian athletes can only compete at domestic meets. As far as I know individual athletes can apply to compete under the Olympic flag at Rio, so many star athletes may do this. But don't expect much from these athletes as...

Yes Teeters went a shade too hard the day before. It also looked like he panicked and started tying up around the 70 meter mark. I think this was his first US trials and it showed in this race. I hope he is willing to give a year or two to trying to become a top pro. He has as much potential...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3677558/Another-doping-scandal-Kenya-police-investigate-agent.htmlGood News Dr. Rosa was busted today with his corrupt sons. If the Kenyan justice system had any teeth we could have a investigation into how far back the cheating goes. Since the...

Yep it looks like he was rounding into form. He will need to be a sub 20 and around his pb to have any chance at a bronze in Rio in the deuce. In the century even running his true pb which is more like a high 9.9X(without a max tailwind) he would only be on the bubble for a spot in the finals.

Eubank's pops was an azz clowns azz clown. Picture Floyd Mayweather with a fairy sounding British accent(not the tough working class one). His son does the same preening but his son while athletic and talented has already failed against Saunders. Saunders while decent is still a full level...

Russian male sprinting is at the moment abysmal, I don't think they have any runners running the b level for the Olympics in the 100. I don't know if talented runners are even trying to make it in the sport or nobody is being recruited at the club level to be a sprinter.

You have to remember the average fan doesn't really follow the sport beyond watching major championships or the Diamond League events, so their knowledge is minimal. East Africans have been competing in distance events since the late 60's and truly only started dominating distance running...

I think he is the best pure hitter since Boggs and Gwynn (and is a better athlete than both), but if you were to count a level of baseball that is the equivalent of double A or triple A then you need to count Rose's minor league stats too. I guess with Rose's record being unassailable at the...
