    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    How good was CL's run of 20.33 into a 2.2m/s wind? For the 100m I typically use an adjustment of 0.07sec for each 1.0m/s wind (positive or negative) so for 200m that would be about 0.12sec (not quite double because of the curve). In still air 20.33 is therefore equivalent to 20.07 and for a...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!
