I think it’s really only the 100 and 200 where whites need to catch up. I’m no track and field historian but I believe there are usually top guys in all the other events that are white, especially the jumping events.

I'm always suspicious of split decisions these days. I didn't see the fight but I'm sure it should have been an easy UD for Strickland. They definitely want Strickland gone as he is way to open about his opinions and when it doesn't align with the left they suddenly aren't aren't the party of...

It just occurred to me by looking at the title of this thread that Boling might be in very rare company as a guy to break the 10 second barrier in the 100, the 20 second barrier in the 200 and the 45 second barrier in the 400. I'm not sure how many other guys have done this but it can't be many.

Looks like Sergey Kovalev had a fight today, losing by decision to an obscure, but undefeated, opponent from Sweden. Sad to see he’s still fighting as he’s one of my all time favorites.

That kick at the end reminded me of Nick Symmonds and his legendary finishing speed! 800’s are some of the most fun races to watch in my opinion as so much psychology goes into them.

I know Lemaitre gets a lot of flack for not being tough enough mentally but I really think he showed a lot of mental fortitude in certain races. This one specifically where he had a lot of ground to make up against a stacked field and won.

Seeing that Lemaitre is running gives me that nostalgic feeling from about a decade ago or more. I would expect about 10.7 territory from him, but who really knows. Maybe with age and maturity he’s gained more confidence and wants to give it an another go. Plenty of athletes have run fast...

It really was strange how he seemingly took rounds off and would either turn around or stand there in a shoulder roll position. He never seemed gassed so I wouldn’t think it was a conditioning thing but who knows. Maybe as he ages his mind will calm down and he’ll be able to focus better.

I watched this one. It was a one sided affair when Garcia actually tried. His power was way too much for Haney. But, his mind is all over the place and I’m not sure he’s in a good spot mentally.

Paul is not and will never be a world champion. He’s a decent club level fighter and that’s it. He’s too late to the game to develop that kind of ability and he doesnt have the genetic gifts anyways. Regardless of what happens in the Tyson fight. He’s not landing anything significant on a...

Looks like a good prospect. He should be getting to the point where they look to increase his competition.

Didn't realize Froch had a podcast...Thanks for the tip, I'll have to give that a listen on the drive in to work.

Multi is a good poster and keeps us up to date on the Australian circuit. I believe he goes to a fair amount of track meets down there too. Don't worry too much about him as he is known to have some more "left" view points on certain things than most of us here but he doesn't really shove it...

This is a major misconception the public has. The average man walking around at 190 pounds might think Browning is skinny, but what that average man doesn’t realize is that if he was as lean as Browning he would only be 150-160 pounds. Browning has a lot more muscle than the average person...

The 49ers made no adjustments on defense. The chiefs ran the same screen passes all game. Plus there seemed to be a long stretch where Mccaffrey wasn’t used. Every time they utilized him they marched down the field. Either way there were a ton of whites on the field although I was rooting...

Yeah definitely. Still early in the season but I’d feel better if they were at least running low 6.6 times.

Has a player ever been in the slam dunk contest who’s technically not on an NBA roster? What kind of clown world is this where the slam dunk contest champion can’t even get a team to pick him up??

I've noticed Jan Volko's times are pretty slow. Hopefully this is just an indication that he's aiming to peak for the summer season and not some other issue!

Not sure if he's been mentioned here before, but Asier Martinez of Spain ran a 7.49 60m hurdles last Sunday. His previous best was 7.55 so a good improvement for him! https://worldathletics.org/athletes/spain/asier-martinez-14734118 Here's the race:

Only in a leftists mind is a leader that has achieved a 93% decrease in murders a bad leader for a country.

He ran a 6.53 indoors last year and then followed it up with a 10.05 with only +0.1 wind outdoors. He could very easily break 10 seconds this year, especially with the Olympics coming up!

I’ve been watching a lot of 1 mile races and 800m races lately. They are actually quite fun to watch because they can have a lot of build up to dramatic finishes. I was curious so I checked and in the 800m, we have 5 guys in the top 10 currently for the year. In the 1 mile 9 out of the top 10...

I don’t watch basketball but that highlight reel was insane. He is one of the best basketball players I’ve ever seen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Eachus This guy was royally screwed over. A standout player in high school that was only recruited by Colgate college. There he broke records and became a first team all American and Walter Payton award finalist. He was passed over in the 2012 draft and...

Maybe Purdy can one up Tebow and be the only quarterback to win a super bowl and be cut the next season. Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised. All joking aside, Purdy is ridiculously athletic and anyone who says otherwise is only saying it because he's White.
