I ask a question about Lemaitre to Ado Boldon on Twitter.
His answer :I think it will be great for the sport if he becomes a low 9.9 or 9.8 or better sprinter....huge!
10.25 for Mancini ? But his PB is near 10.50 no ? If Mancini ran 10.25, Lemaitre ran 9.8x or less :-)<div>
</div><div>And I think Christophe can beat Powell. Asafa was in Jamaica few days ago, and with the flight between Kingston and Lausanne, Powell must be tired no ? And don't forget the time...
Sure Zellgadiss ;)
Lemaitre answerd to Swissinfo.ch.

He said if he can win in Lausanne, he'll do it ;) And he wants break his record again.<div>
I want to be tomorrow...
But Lausanne is in altitude too (ok... not a lot).
And Powell run here 9.72 I think.
So with altitude, CL can take a 9.92 (maybe 9.91) with a "normal" wind.
Well, it's so impressive the numbers of race CL runs with the best of the bests.
July 2010 (Paris) : Bolt (bad time)
August 2010 (Riety) : Carter (9,98 and 9,97)
May 2011 (Roma) : Bolt & Powell (10,00)
June 2011 (Montreuil) : Blake (9,96)
June 2011 (Lausanne) : Powell & Carter
July 2011...
It is ;)
So, the start lists :http://www.diamondleague-lausanne.com/en/Live-StartlistsResults/Overview/<div>
</div><div>And read this !http://www.universalsports.com/news-blogs/blogs/blog=blockheadblog/postid=539249.html
I read a lot of paper about Christophe and a possible victory in Diamond...
Hey, I've a question for you about the 200m.
Gay is out, it's ok. Spearmon too.
So, who are the bests in 200m this year ? If Christophe run around 19,8x, who can beat him (except Bolt of course) ?
What is the best time of Dix, Patton and Dodson ? (the three US sprinters)
Update.
About Monaco.
Christophe will run, it's official, and Bolt too.
It's for the 100m, and the date is July 22.
So before Daegu, we have :
30 June : Lausanne (100m) vs Powell
8 July:Paris (200m) vs Bolt and perhaps Blake
22 July : Monaco (100m) vs Bolt
28-30 July:CHAMPIONSHIP FRENCH...

<div>
</div><div>Powell said : I hope we'll do 1, 2, 3 and 4 (in South Korea).
He speaks about Jamaican on 100m of course...
I hope he's wrong... But... unfortunately, it's possibie.</div>

With Gay out, Christophe have a big chance to be in final.
And with a 9.8x time... maybe in the top 4... or top 3 !!! (I'm dreaming ?)
<div>

</div><div>Now, Christophe have an amazing reaction time.</div><div>
</div><div>Ok, his first 10 meters aren't the best - as Bolt... - but he's equal (or almost equal ;)) to the best runners of the world (except Bolt... hum, but not in 2011 for now).</div>
I've got news about CL's agenda.
