I think that next goal for Christophe to enter in athletics history is to beat european records. If he could run around 9.86 / 19.72 this year, that would be so great. I just hope that he will manage to break these records soon, and then begin next stage in his career.

Thanks frederic38 for those explanations. If athletes can take HGH without risk, it's sure that there are many cheaters on track. So sad...

Retranscription of CL declaration after his race at Decanation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53xbaazW_Hg): Approximative translation, for those who do not understand French: Congratulations Christophe. See you next year.

Mastermulti, you may be right. We'll see next year... Here is the race of Christophe at Decanation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53xbaazW_Hg

Very interesting. Can you develop more? I tried to find some informations about HGH and whether it can be detected or not. According to WADA website, HGH tests are reliable. http://www.wada-ama.org/en/Science-Medicine/Science-topics/Q-A-hGH/

Did you notice the strange reaction of Blake when he saw the time? He did not really celebrate his performance. Seems like he thought: "Woups... It's too much. I should be careful in the future if I don't want to be caught cheating".

I totally agree. And even a time of 19.50 might not be enough to get a medal next year in London. Crazy.

Yohan Blake: 19.26, WL, in Brussels. What was his personal best before this race?

Do you think that Christophe could also compete in the long jump event, like Carl Lewis did in the past?

I thought it was "LM" for LeMaitre (The Master), but "< 20" is nice too!

I agree. CL has proven once again his incredible aptitude to keep a very high speed while others start slowing down. Bolt difficultly ran the last 20 meters. And CL gave the impression that he could run 10 meters more. A very good sign for the future. Moreover, CL has not yet reached his peak...

He probably will beat ER on 200m within few years! And maybe ER on 100m too (even though more difficult, I think).

Yes, your interpretation is fair.

Yes, Christophe said that he can improve his performance in the future. It would be interesting to see a front view of the race because at the end of the curve Dix was deported on the right of his lane and may have walked on the white line with his right foot. I did not manage to find such a...

We are proud of you Christophe! What a race! Personal best: 100m -> 9.92 200m -> 19.80 And only 21 years old. What a huge potential! Nobody can deny that Christophe is a world class sprinter now.
