I wasn't able to read the article without subscribing, but I'm guessing this very recent, like within the week?? Could have an impact on his performance at worlds.

I had to go back and watch Jeff Lacey’s last fight. He fought and up and coming Sullivan Barrera and it was a painful watch. Lacey didn’t belong in there and neurologically couldn’t get his body to do what his mind wanted it to. Teddy Atlas was commentating and basically said what most...

Crazy when you look at the end of that race how the difference between the winning 9.97 and Jones 10.04 is almost nothing. Basically like a quarter of a step if that.

I happened to watch the highlights of the Itauma fight and while Itauma looks like a pretty good prospect, this was a blowout of a shot fighter. He looked a lot like James Kirkland or Jeff Lacey in their last fights. He didn’t belong there and should retire to preserve whatever health he’s got...

Just checked the top 100m times for Japan and they have 45 sprinters this year who have run under 10.3. That’s crazy depth.

Yeah I watched some of there stuff years ago. They used to do videos about bodybuilding and fitness and what not. Now they seem to be mostly doing the social or political stuff. I imagine they are quite wealthy as they’ve been at it for years.

Those are some promising times with worlds coming up. I imagine that translates to 10.15 or so with normal legal wind.

Browning has had an incredible season when you look at the numbers. There aren’t many white sprinters out there who have had a season like him. In terms of consistency and running sub 10.10 as many times as he had, Lemaitre may be the only one who’s done better over a season. I really hope he...

Kennedy being a pure 60/100m guy is a really good thing in my opinion. There won’t be any nonsense of him focusing on anything else. That being said I hope he still runs some 200’s to help the speed endurance. I’ve been wondering about Kalen Walker and Brody Buffington. Neither ran at the US...

I wonder how the 2 white guys can stand playing on this team. I can’t think of a worse scenario than being on a team of like 70 black guys and you are the only white guy. Talk about hell.

Depending on the form of Kennedy, Browning may be the fastest white guy right now. Kalen Walker hasn’t run since June so he might be dealing with injuries. Krylov is in the mix but will he be able to compete at worlds? Other than that, we’ve got a handful of guys who are in the 10.1-10.2...

There just aren’t enough white sprinters. It’s a pure numbers game. 85% of the top 100 sprinters in the world are black. And half of the 15% that aren’t black are Asian. That leaves us with just a handful of sprinters to root for and it’s not enough. Unfortunately there just aren’t enough...

That time in the 800 is insane for a 16 year old. It’s more impressive than the 100m time that the Japanese kid just ran. It’s been a great year for 800 times this year.

The Japanese are gonna have a guy in the 9.8's pretty soon I think. I still remember when Koji Itu had the national record at 10.00, I think that record stood for almost 20 years and now over the past 7-8 years they have 4 guys who have run under 10. It's amazing what a people are capable of...

Glad to see some success on the women’s side. The men’s side is a depressing state of affairs. One white guy out of 34 sprinters.

Blaskowski ran a 10.27 into a -1.0 headwind. He did qualify for the semis but I think he’ll be hard pressed to make it through to the final. Let’s hope for a big pb out of him!

The NHL is woke and leftist just like all the other leagues. This is no surprise to me.

That's a heck of a time and he definitely has a lot more in the tank by watching that run. It looked like Sazonov was possibly gaining on him near the end but it was hard to tell.

Whoops, I completely missed the discussion in the high schoolers thread!

16 year old Sorato Shimizu of Japan set a u18 world record the other day in the 100m after he ran a 10.00 +1.7 at Japan’s inter-highschool championships. I don’t see it listed on world athletics yet but it appears to be legitimate. Crazy for a 16 year old and he was already pretty fast as his...

I'm not sure what anyone is expecting in a Paul/Joshua fight. I can't see this going any other way than Joshua/Ngannou. Joshua is just plain better in every way. Maybe Paul figures it's time to just die on his hill so to speak. I can't honestly hate him completely as he does have guts to get...

That shows how strong he is to run back to back fast times like that. I'm sure he will break his pb this year. He will probably start timing his peak for the worlds soon. Be cool to see him put Sweden in the sub 10 club. I was just glancing at Sweden's all time list and it's nice to see a...

Really has been a let down with Boling, but that's ok that's what happens in sprinting. We all felt he had a lot more to give in the 100, but we will never know. We don't know him personally and we don't know what kinds of challenges he is facing. He seems like a very good kid and hopefully...

Yeah with that kind of speed endurance he’s ready to run in the 43’s. Be fun to watch this guy over the rest of the summer.

Just to put things in perspective, only 28 men have ever run under 44 seconds in the 400. That equates to about a 9.85 in the 100m so it is extremely rare. I think he will definitely achieve this. Jeremy Wariner sits 7th all time with his 43.45 so it would be cool to see Dobson break that...
