Interesting article on the issue of "basic time adjustments" to address the issue of the value of taking times at face value. The gist of the article is that it's not cut and dry as there are other variables that factor into the equation and so it's a rough estimate. It's more useful than...

Amen........God speed young Christophe and may you run straight and true with hope in your heart and wings on your heels. (Inspired paraphrase from "Chariots of fire."

Well that's not my quote (RCSMAN ?). I agree he needs a Great coach with good man optional though I'd go so far as to employ a mind-meld of drill master R. L. Ermey & coach Valentin Petrovski. Young grasshopper needs toughening up, not comfort. I suspect the trouble is more of the...

The Carraz debate needs some illumination. Can we get the complete detailed training regimen of Lemaitre from 2009 till today. RCSMAN would be in the best position to procure such information and could even pose the request (if he needs to approach Team Carraz directly) as the desire to...

I chuckle when I hear people say that so and so is "clean" because they are not overly muscular. For example Mennea who admitted using HGH (prior to its banning) was a lean specimen. He expended his PED energies mostly on the track, not in the weight room. Even if he had never "confessed"...

Bwahahahahahah!!! "No Bulgaria for you" " Go back Turkey" Was he calling him a turkey or telling him to go to Turkey or both? Bwahahahahahah!!!

Kind of like spotting a polar bears nose in a blizzard.

Australia's out-door track season starts too early -- curse of geography and latitude. In order to be ready for the late summer Euro competitions and global championships, they have to take a late spring break or run the starch out of themselves. The proof is that their peak performances...

Strange. I'd read of this result in T & F News back then. Seeing the race, and in particular the photo finish, we see Marsh barely edging Christie and Drummond. Then after the footage of Donovans leg being attended to, we see the then clown prince of sprints, Jon Drummond, with the victory...

Oh I've never posted, but I have been watching the dueling banjo's of Eli and RCSMAN -- a real love fest. Since this was my first post, I felt the need to address the obvious; no upper body development has retarded his progress. You'd think he was a runner from "Chariots of Fire" in 1924...

.....and one last detail about Borzov in Munich. He almost slept through his quarter-final heat. While Taylor was rushing to make it on time (knowing his teammates had missed their QF), Borzov woke up just in time to run to his blocks. I believe those circumstances pumped adrenaline into...

@limitless This video usually comes up on the first page of a Borzov Google search. What was interesting was the you-tube page your video was on had lots of Russian language track & field video's. We'll never know if he'd have beaten the 2 Americans, but we can imagine a faster final that would...

I was wondering what happened to Vanilla Ice.

I've never seen a sprinters torso quite like Lemaitre's. His upper half looks like a female high jumper with spaghetti for arms. The lower half is as someone mentioned like a giraffes. His shoulders are non-existent. (Superficially looks like Bolt if you ignore his feminine upper torso)...
