    Wow, crazy the way Goer did it with such ease. He even looked back at one point. Expecting a big time out of him.

    Eat pasta, run fasta!! Lorenzo is just a little guy, whereas Vittoria is a tall girl. One of the Brits pulled his hammy mid race in the men's 100 final.

    Elias Goer of Germany (nice name for a sprinter) posts the top time (21.07) in the 200 qualifying rounds, again, a nice time for an 18 year old.

    Jules Pommery wins the long jump with a 25.7. Not bad for an 18 year old.

    I would have to say Boling is the bright spot in this list. In a few days he will be competing in the Pan Am Juniors. It's still early. Come on Tortu, Quinn and Erasmus!! Purola is going in the 100 qualifiers for the Euro U20 Champs on Thursday. There is also an Italian kid competing named...

    Lemaitre is going in the 200 today. Will be interesting to see what he has left. The information will have circulated all day yesterday. The French sprinter Christophe LEMAITRE will be present at the International Meeting of Sotteville-lès-Rouen on Tuesday, July 16th. The presence of the latter...

    2019 Track Season News and Results

    Thanx for posting the Quinn article. This is all great news. Number 1 is he has decided to stick with it. He said the 10.01 felt very smooth (indicating that once he learns to relax at these big meets, better performances will come), and that he is putting in time in the weight room. Consistent...

    UFC 239

    Jon Jones is not as good without the drugs. Thiago nearly beat Jones with a torn ACL, MCL, PCL and meniscus. He went after Jon's long skinny legs with kicks, but hurt himself after only one round. If he could have been a full strength and kept grinding at those legs, there is no way Jones would...

    I think Thiago's leg injury saved John's ass. That was a very close fight.

    It's crazy, Nunes is just walking through everyone right now. That Shevchenko girl is the only one who has given her any competition recently.

    UFC 239

    I will be rooting for Santos, Holm and Masvidal tonight. I don't like Askren because he is a big mouthed member of the tribe.

    2019 Track Season News and Results

    Yeah, experience is the key word for Quinn. Once he gets used to the big stage, he will settle down, run relaxed and reach his potential. He just has to be consistent and keep getting out there. Teeters allowed too many time gaps in his development. It does not appear to be a sport where you...

    Quinn looked a little tight, but anyone would be first time running with the big boys. So happy he is pursuing this. I really had high hopes for Teeters. Guliyev ran a good race, but not a great race for him.

    Devin Quinn got a 6th place in Lausanne today at 10.19. Not the greatest performance, but it's good to know he is getting big time international experience. Guliyev was 5th in the 200 at 20.01. Noah Lyles smoked the field with an incredible 19.50. Daphne Schippers gets 4th in the 100 at...

    60 Years Ago

    Those were dark times, no pun intended. They even made fun of Rudy Tomjanovich getting punched by Kermit Washington on SNL. It was maybe the most horrendous cold **** of all time. It very much upset me. I went to a majority black high school, I learned the hard away about blacks.

    They are at or near the top of just about every boxing record there is. Vitali had an 87 percent KO rating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavyweight_boxing_championship_records_and_statistics

    60 Years Ago

    As a kid who grew up in the Ali era, the Klitschkos did not even seem possible. Wlad was 64 and 5, Vitali was 45 and 2. Vitali got thumbed by Lennox Lewis (who refused to give V a rematch) and suffered a freak injury in a fight he was winning against Chris Byrd.

    Filippo Tortu 9.99 & 20.11

    Tortu draws lane 2 in a super hot 100 field. I'm hoping he catches a flyer and gets a PB. All the biggies are going to be there.

    Matthew Boling 9.98, 19.92, 44.84 and 8.25 LJ

    Someone may have posted this interview already, but I just saw it so am putting it up. It is insightful in that he said he shut down towards the end of his recent 10.13. He felt he did not place first in the long jump because of the way it was scheduled in between 100s, and he is hoping for PBs...
