Don't count on the lies, deception and bias against white athletes to go away soon. Today at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, IndiaSally Pearson, a white Australian, after winning the Women's 100 metre final was simply stripped of her gold medal three hours after the event, just when she was...

Broncos: Of course, you are correct, there is no comparison between the most powerful person on earth and a sprinter; and you are also correct that in sport few careabout #2. But, as far as the principle is concerned, it is legitimate to make the observation that the cultural rules concerning...

The Canadain news did not mention that CL was the first white man to run sub-10 because that is not of interest to them. It is of interestto the politically correct people only when whites are humiliated and blacks are glorified. The media would claim it is racist to even notice!It has been...

Lisa D - regarding Canadians' awareness of Christophe Lemaitre: I searched the sport web sitesofthe two largest newspapers and the national TV radio broadcaster, and other than a very few incidental comments about him (e.g.: Christophe Lemaitre won the 100m or Christophe Lemaitre did not run in...

Predictions: 9.86/20.31 He will focus on the 100.

I have contacted the CBC in Canada with the following message: The CBC recently televised a two hour edited program of the Continental Cup Track and Field event from Croatia. I did not see the premier event track event: the men's 100m dash. I read afterwards that it was a particularly...

Zellgadiss, I have seen you quoting lots of intermendiate and split times - how is the data measured and by who and where is it published? All I know about Lemaitre's splits isseeing him take 2 meters out of sub-10 runners in 50 meters! And thanks for comments WL re: the discrimination in...

Canadian National TV(CBC) ran atwo hour program of the Continental Cup late last night.But showing a white man winning a sprint race was judged to be too politically incorrect for their sensibilities; sothe 100m raceand Lemaitre was simplyeditied out of the program as if he didn't exist. I am...

Not that fast for Walcott- 4.45 perhaps - more with sprint timing - but who knows with a bit of hill training. PS: I lived for 28 years in England that's why I watch soccer now. Thanks for the kind comments; the time was an age group record at the time but not many old guys still run - just...

Experience of being asprint coach in Canada where so much training is done indoors. I could estimate times of runners quite well and my belief was that if you could run 7.00 for the 60 you were a real sprinter. Also ran 7.24 myself at age 44. For Walcott I see him on the TV as we have the...

For what it is worth I would say, based only on my 60m experience and just watching him, that Walcott could run a legitimate 7.00.

Other than Myles-Mills's 7,000 footaltitude run Nagle is also the (equal) fastest African over 60m.

This is interesting from the IAAF All-Time table for 100m. Until the start of the 2008 season only 3 Jamaicans: Raymond Stewart (1991), Percival Spencer (1997) and Asafa Powell had gone under 10.00; and only one, Powell, had ever broken 9.96. In 2008 four Jamaicans broke 10.00, in 2009 it was 5...

Hope this is the correct forum for this: NBC broadcast the US Visa gymnastic champs this past weekend â€" a sport which could be argued demonstrates the ultimate in overall athleticism â€" much more so than say sprinting which has a more one-dimensional talent requirement...

GiovaniMarcon: When you say you consider the White race superior do you mean the culture of the White race or the genetics of the White race? I think it most important we all make the distinction clear.

Terrific analysis WL. Thanks. I am also a great beleiver in hill running (down as well as up); and was well before it was popularized by the Jamaicans.

Waterbed: I really appreciate your approach and I would love to see a fully completed work - but how would you explain the amazing proficiency of the Finns in the Javelin or the Dutch in speed skating. Surely it is a cultural love of the event and not some national physical attribute. Of course...

Opinions have been given on how much CL should bulk-up. While it is clear that a muscular physique makes <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">many[/I] athletes faster, do we actually know that it is the determining factor? Scanning the history books and the IAAF All-Time 100m performances...

Waterbed: thanks for your analysis of the data. Do you have any conclusions; or is your conclusion that the numbers speak for themselves? IMHO the definitive work on the subject of race and "outcomes"Â￾ (track performance is a very obvious type of outcome) was written by Thomas Sowell (Race and...

Emily Freeman was robbed - see the photo-finish: http://www.sportresult.com/sports/la/ajax/user_files/2010/barcelona/pf/1020031.jpg

Waterbed: CL's reaction time in the semis was 0.175.

It's getting difficult to find something new to say about CL, but reading the reports of the European Championship 100m final race two contrasting things are clear: 1] the media still refuse to understand the talent of Lemaitre; and 2] Chambers and Obikwelu -hismain competitors - fully...

Thanks so much WL for posting the YouTube. It was a totally inspiring run - stunning, in fact.All things considered the time excellent too as: hishead/shoulderswent BACK on the "set" command; his reaction time was appalling (0.224); there was a substantial headwind (-1.0); the Barcelona Airport...

Chambers wins semi-final #2 (out of 3) with a 10.10 clocking and a -0.1m/s wind.
