Has anybody mentioned the huge workload this kid has put in this summer? I mean the boy is obviously not doping he has shown fatigue( or maybe more accurately windedness) at the end of all his heats, and then to perform as he has at this level now, just attests to how great his performance was...

I definitely think LeMaitre can have a positive effect in drawing more whites in the short sprints. The string has got ot start somewhere, but thats the thing there's got to be a string otherwise it will just be an abheration, an odd outlier on the bell curve of White performance. No one...

Good call! But it's Rodriguez instead. Sakalauskas missed by a whisper.

There's alot of sentiments here that I have had since I saw the heats schedule in the 100m men's. Number one the best don't always win. Thank God! Elsewise we would just play games on paper and declare a winner. There is a difference between being the best and being a champion. The best is...

Just saw CL's draw in the semi's. Lousy pull if you ask me. 3 SB's under 9.9, 5 SB's under 10, 6 PB's under 10; Oh! and Kuc happens to get the same draw. This stinks. I believe in my heart of hearts he can beat Frater straight up, and I know I may sound crazy saying this, but I even believe Bolt...

Sorry fellas haven't posted in a while. Is it just me or are people just losing it? It wasn't a slow race or a slow time for Lemaitre. Very recent history tells us that a 10.03 will get you into any world or olympic finals as recently as 6 years ago Justin gatlin could have kept his gold medal @...

I've been reading the posts from the previous few days and looking at the video links posted. I think what we are witnessing here is a monumental athlete. He is able to achieve world class success with a form that is, quite frankly, God Awful! His starts are terrible in reaction and form, his...

Gentleman, I've been out for a long time, just got home and scanned the news on the internet and did a quick search for LeMaitre and just found out about what happened yesterday. I was so happy I think I literally leaped from my seat and couldn't wait to get on here and see the posts. It's...

That is a great list. I love that stuff...updated daily even better

I'm still holding out hope on Pickering. I would be honest if I thought he couldn't break-through, but he's just not done yet. He, even now hits incredible top end speeds, and he has had some mix of bad luck over the last two years. It is possible to be in a two year slump, and lest we forget...

Oh! Yeah! That 150 m thing. I remember that it was hilarious

They've taken the most essential of athletic competition and watered it down to who has the best chemist.

I'm not despondent,but I can't lie I wanted more.To dq in the quarter-final is just leaving alot on the table.In their defense I wouldn't want him to risk injury.I believe I read somewhere else in this forum he was only putting in eight hours training a week,consistent with a junior...

An opening round easy 10.23. What could have been?

Been working a long weekend,Haven't been able to keep up with the WC's except in the results column the next day. Excellent point's Thousand Okie the elite white sprinters of yesteryear would have benefitted enormously from our techno advances not only on race day but in being able to train...

Loved the article on Questad. I wonder if the name Glenn Davis has been brought up in this forum '56 and '60 gold medalist in the 400 i.m. hurd. and a 4X400 relay gold in '60. He died earlier this year at the age of 75. He was an incredible all around athlete.Was a world class performer in...

Anyway having said that it was good to see the person in action that I had only read about,or saw a still picture of

wienered is not what I wrote C o c k e d as in leaning.

Years back, before the internet revolution, I used Guy Drut as an example for my arguments of the possibility of white exceptionalism in a black dominated sport.Keep in mind his accomplishments were a little before my time,so all I had to go on was what I read; and would pronounce his name in...

Loved that video on Guy Drut.Did you notice that even with that track, it was still like the clay at roland-garos tenis court for the french open. You can still see crap kick up behind him.

I know hurdles don't get alot of play,especially the 400 hurd,but has anybody posted about van Zyl's going sub 48 in monaco a couple of weeks back.Bested Bershawn Jackson and Danny Mcfarland(man how long has that guy been around?). Season's top mark thus far.

Well put WL. I especially like your point about knocking down the barrier earlier instead of later. The kid doesn't need something in his head to be built up into an albatross.So here's hoping it's very soon.

Make no mistake I am not dissapointed.I am nothing but impressed.

Where did Patriot 09's post go? I wanted to respond.According to the IAAF all-time stats page he gave an Incomplete list of one-time sub 10's.He left off Jim Hines,Silvio Leonard,Vincent Henderson.I also couldn't find Mark Lewis-Francis' 2nd sub-10,nor Wallace Spearmons'.As far as proving me...

You're Kidding! I need to see if I can look up some info on that. I think David Sime is a doctor as well.
