He had a perfect reaction time of 0.114sec and his first 40m was very good but then he lost his concentration and destabilized(?) or fatigue kicked in and had for the first time a bad last 50m.... that's a first .

I'm 100% convicted that the No1 cause for his present condition is that he haven't started riding the bicycle ;) All indications are there !!!!
If he was born in the UK ,US or even Paris things would be quite different.
It's a thing that some cannot comprehend !!! And it's not logic for...
Guys,
Just see this http://www.european-athletics.org/competitions/european-athletics-championships/2014/athletics/event/mens-200m/phase=atm002200/index.html?v=20140814211945&intcmp=[#]-schline-result .
Heat 1 was more competitive that Heat 2 !!!
Pierre Caraz/Thierry Tribondeau interview some hours ago in french:
Christophe's Heat 1 competitors are very weak so he will pass to the final without losing any energy...
I agree but I don't see him winning this event . I'm confident Christophe will have to prove himself and run a sub 20 that he is totally capable of (especially if Gemili is near him in the last meters). Hope he does not get very disappointed after his performance today:dodgy:

Lausanne IAAF Diamond meeting in 2 days and Christophe will run in the 200m:
(click to enlarge)
and then in saturday he will run 100m at Paris (Stade de France).
Caraz can not further develop Christophe . PERIOD
The problem is that Christophe don't seem to care or even notice that his coach is subpar and thats the main problem of Christophe as an athlete with ambition .He has immense raw talent but he will never reach his peak with the current...
World Anti-Doping Agency investigating Jamaican sprintersBefore the Olympics, there was a “a significant gap of no testingâ€
http://www.thestar.com/sports/amateur/2013/10/14/world_antidoping_agency_investigating_jamaican_sprinters.html
The thing that strike me is tha in his last interview that I posted his clearly said that his using a new start technique . Did he had to start using it in the World Championships ???
What's the logic again in this. Like last time when they changed his step technique and he got worse by...
