6 girls within a metre, the 2 "tortoises" a mere 1/2 metre behind. Hard not to be excited at a race like this. Anyone remember Luckenkemper coming from behind to win two years ago? The most brilliant of finishes. Placings were 10.99,10.99,11.00 but they were all 2 metres clear of Swoboda in...

I watched a few times and realised what an ordinary start Amy Hunt had. Given the distance lost (because a bad start means you're forever later in the acceleration phase) I think she may get to that sub 11. The race was a very good one with no weak sprinters

that's a great still wind time.

Ehammer, the electric hammer - what a nickname for a power jumper

things have changed. Over the years I've had to stand up and intervene on behalf of someone on a bus or train if there's a bit of strife because the younger ones keep their heads down. The same young ones seem to have lost the ability to do menial tasks that my dad taught me and I've passed on...

I have tried a few times. They send you a code to enter under your email address and each time it takes so long to reach me that the code time has expired. Happened 3 times now

here's the 100m final from the same 1994 European championships as Geir Moen's 200 win above. With a nice finish Moen places second just 7/100ths behind Linford Christie (who was at this time reigning World and Olympic champion). With all the advances now, 30 years later, in tracks, training...

that's a reason I came back to throws. Still very much in a learning curve for all 5 throws events though having started 3 of them only this season

i'm just glad to see you're not disappointed now :thumbsup:

there are 37 entrants. How can they fit into 3 semi finals?

my favourite Aussie sprinter, Damien Marsh from the 1990s, said the same about his achilles injury. He said in hindsight he would have had psychological treatment. He was down to unofficial sub 10.10s during his U.S, training stint before the achilles let him down. He never ever ran well again...

a real shame, especially in the context of the above clip which indicated her body was very tolerant of a heavy workload, one of the best attributes for a sprinter. So no more high school records for her, but here's to a complete recovery and a great 2025

to me he looked like he never really got into his running then gave it all away. I see the rejuvenated Amy Hunt pushed hard in the 200 to finish next to Henriksson. Amy has finished her English major at Cambridge and now, uninjured for quite a while, she seems to be heading back to her teenage...

:thumbsup:

I've noted her come into races and look quite solid for the past year now. Here best times have all been in the last 10 months. She didn't do so well in Ostrava last night though

it should be easy to see if those "gummies" had the same effct on the others who were gifted them in their gift LA bags. lol

he's number 7 in the world to do it. He's in very elite company

I didn't ask anything. I wanted to post it just to appear level-headed about their chances. I hope very much they break through - but I don't let my hopes ignore history - to me that is not negative thinking at all. I guess if I don't ever expect too much I'll never be disappointed.;) but...

Cameron Myers 3.50.15 for a mile at Eugene. He's got 2 more weeks left at 17 years old. I wonder if he'll race again and sneak under 3.50 in that time

as always my friend , let's see how they do OUTSIDE Germany. They haven't had a good record lately

I see Ceccarelli ran a still wind 10.50 overnight in Italy, Well off the pace for a 5th place. What has happened to him? In the German meet Coby Hilton was about equal with Kopek in the heat (around 10.30, 0 wind) - I wonder what happened to him to run so slowly in the final?

https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1108417587103199 look at this 20 year old Norwegian lass - she obliterates her national 300m record by over a second. She looks so powerful

yes, and Gina was closing fast but she doesn't often get away well. I wish she could fix that

Great to hear - he's committed. He's run some decent 60s this season and was 3rd leg in the Brit relay 4x100 in Bermuda. I don't think we can label him a kid anymore LOL.

I'm not betting on him being prepared for Paris - he and the team seems a very secretive bunch. I'll try to find out if he's going to Europe soon.
