it's not an elite world time but if it is his first attempt at 300m (it is listed as a PB and his only entry for 300m in his IAAF profile) then it's a good start. He lacked a little after that final bend but that may just indicate where he is right now in training. Total elite is 31s. Only...

we now have a 14 1/2 year old female here in Australia running in the 11.70/100. She just ran 23.68/200m so I'll keep my eye on her progress. Young indigenous girl I think, from Western Australia - I don't know if she's an early bloomer/grower- only heard of her recently

He looked pretty good I think. Rai Benjamin and Vernon aren't nobodies

can't wait to see Mia hit her straps - steady, steady MIa. No more injuries please

lol yes. And the point that there is 100 times more chance he'll run into a billionaire on the street than of running into someone who can run faster. That really puts things into perspective. BTW, at 6'4" he's taller than Christophe Lemaitre. Tall sprinters are really starting to become a force

Tiaan Whelpton - very engaging sort of man. Bright young fellow by the sounds of it

Ella Connolly raced a great PB (she trains with Rohan Browning iuunder coach Andrew Murphy). As of now as we start competing in 60s down under we suddenly have 3 ladies running 7.14, 7.16 and 7.20. Now hopefully some overseas trips to run on the indoor boards. Torrie Lewis 7.14 2nd place finish...

here is the Australian men's 60m championship form yesterday in Sydney. It was great to see consistency ... Kennedy's time was officially 6.51 with only a +0.7 and at sea level this time. The track is right next to Parramatta River which is tidal at the end reaches of Sydney Harbour. I was more...

here's a little information on the 2nd place getter in the 60m at Canberra on the weekend - Tiaan Whelpton. He was born in S'Africa and pursued Rugby Union before switching to track immediately before the family emigrated to Christchurch, New Zealand. After a decent indoor time early in 2024 it...

women's 60m results in Canberra. 3 fastest of the day - 2 were Final's times , one was a heat time 1 Hobbs, Zoe 97 New Zealand-NZL 7.17 1.2 2 Cruttenden, Taylah 03 Western Aust-AUS...

apologies. I have posted above Kennedy's 100m run as having a -2.1 wind. It was reported incorrectly initially. It actually had a minus 1.0. So not so stunning but still good improvement Altitude 600 m Wind -1.0 m/s 100m time secs 10.17 Predicted 100m time secs 10.13

2 more results from Canberra yesterday. Men's 400m Cooper Sherman (45.41) and Tom Reynolds (45.56). At present 10 Australian men still currently competing have run 45s We need another sub 3 minute 4 x 400m - and soon. Our record of 2.59.7 dates back to LA 1984

I loved watching Irina with her galloping running style. My favourite race of hers was when Gail Devers edged past her in a 100m and Privalova pegged her back again - almost unheard of in a mere 100m. Let's see how Lachlan (Lachie pronounced "Lockie") goes. At the moment I think this new crop...

Lachlan Kennedy's 100 PB till now was from last June at 10.20 (+1.9). Today he came out with a 10.17 (-2.1) as an opener. What does that equate to - a 10.06 still time? That is a very decent improvement. He's just turned 21 and apparently hitting his straps "Based on a formula identified by...

exc exciting news - having been away on a motorcycle tour this week I never knew about this. (10 minutes later). so I just found the race on youtube and he told the post race interviewer he was "a bit disappointed with the time". LOL - his first time on boards and a WR

10th fastest in history sounds great by Kennedy but that +1.6mps in an event traditionally run indoors is a bit of a credibility spanner in the works- because it means the event has forever changed. Taking nothing away from him though, he's our best starter no doubt. Azzopardi and Despard 6.50s...

21 year old Aussie Lachlan Kennedy just ran a 6.55 60 metres to be only 0.03 off Shirvington's record and equals Rohan Browning's 6.58 from a few years ago. Let's see how Browning can respond. Wind only 0.4 so it was a very honest time. Lachlan set a legal PB last June of 10.20 at age 20 after a...

that's all great to read, guys. Maybe we can post on this thread occasionally about how we're doing? It's good to encourage each other (especially as this world of ours becomes less predictable by the day) - and women are much better at it than we are. My first comp for 2025 starts next coming...

we don't confide here about our athletics pursuits (if any) so I'll start in case anyone wants to follow. This year I'm putting more effort into hammer and weight throws. I found out last season when I first tried it I can muscle my age weight hammer out to around 30m (100 feet) with just...

a bit of fun I guess- that's not pushing too hard really. In my late 30s I was doing 4 miles at 6 minute mile pace - and he's way better than I could ever have hoped to be.

here is a short video narrated by an Irish guy that deals with issues like torso length to leg length, stride length to stride frequency, etc. Lemaitre gets a mention in the "tall sprinter category". He postulates it will be difficult for a medium to shortish sprinter ever approaching the 100m...

hopefully by end of season we will see a “superbly Abel” Jordan

there's an incentive for her - to take the current world record which was set on the day she was born.

there certainly appears to be a multipliciity of reasons - and it seems we're all heading down that path. Strange times indeed! I don't know about anywhere else, but I was reading yesterday that hitchhiking is an offence in nearly every Australian state now. I mean, in the 1970s that's how my...
