    2024 Outdoor season

    Happy New Year to one and all. As the indoor season gets under way in the northern hemisphere and U.S. particularly, the outdoor season opens in a flourish down here a bit earlier than usual for 2024. January 13th (this coming Saturday) sees a meet called the Illawarra Track Challenge about 75...

    2023 World Outdoor Season

    just turned 17, Sebastian Sultana (NSW, Australia) is "raisin" the bar in the 100m sprint. He just ran 10.27 (0.8) to break Australian under 18 record of Jack Hale and under 18 state record of Rohan Browning. That puts him in an equal 20th world all-time. He's trained by Greg Smith, an...

    Preparing for the 2020 season

    John Gikas "Though his short career in athletics, John Gikas (UNSW) has shown glimces of brilliance. In 2016 aged 17, he clocked a 10.37 100m with an illegal wind of just 2.4m/s. In January 2018 he ran 20.43 for 200m again with an illegal wind of 3.1m/s, but he did defeat Olympian Alex Hartmann...

    2018 Season news

    We often mention Lemaitre staying where he is, staying with his coach - generally passing up offers that may help his development. Well, pleased to say Aussie hope Josh Clarke has moved his training base to Canberra from Sydney where he's been training virtually alone and been hampered for two...

    New young athletes to keep an eye on in 2017

    I've just started looking at the IAAF site to see early season 60 metre times (after Christophe's 6.58 run). I found this intriguing - Giovanni Cellario - 22nd Nov 1994 - 6.60 secs I'd not heard of him so did a little research on him and found these results. In September 2005 - 10 years...

    attending European T&F champs this year

    Hi all. My wife and I are living in Amsterdam for 4 months so I've bought tickets to see the Euro champs for 4 days. It will be good to see some heroes up close so anyone wanting form reports of their own favourites let me know and I'll endeavour to watch those athletes closely and report here...

    Early Australian Olympic qualifiers

    we had a few qualifications in our first meeting of the year. Nice to get them early and not have to push for good times later. Joshua Clarke, 20, elected to sit out last year on the international circuit and complete an injury free year of training - it seems to have paid off for him. 100m -...

    French 100m Record - no longer Lemaitre's

    Ok, I've been doing some thinking about Lemaitre's record being lowered to an excellent 9.86 by Vicaut - Back in 2011 I had expected it to get to this mark by about now - but thought Lemaitre might have matured to the point of doing it. Alas, not to be. Which got me to wondering how white...

    World Youth Championships

    We've mentioned him before but for the benefit of our newbies...... Jacko Gill is at this stage of his life the best Shot Putter who has ever existed. 16 years old and holds all under 20 world records for 5kg, 6 kg and 7.26kg. He needed one lazy throw to go top qualifier at these Games...

    Stawell Gift

    here we go again... probably the most exciting time of the sprint calendar for me. Kim Collins and Aaron Rouge-Serret will be backmarkers for the 120 metre gift, but the whole three days features handicap races of so many distances. I really wanted to go this year but fear a late easter due to...

    some off season fun

    Aviva this year? Fun to see Roger Black, Iwan Thomas and Jason Gardener running the home straights on this relay, only 100 metres and I bet the retired 400 runners are glad of that. Jeepers, JOhn Regis was the last runner for yellow. He certainly looks a long way from sub20/200 shape...

    fast footballers

    this is why I don't think footballers can be described as low 10s 100 metre runners. Negative wind but the first three guys ran 11.10s and could be expected to break into the tens with a bit of dedication. Note that is is football season over here so they are quite bulked, most probably...

    NFL tryout, Joshua Ross

    I doubt very much this change of football code works very often, but Josh Ross is trying out for wide receiver in Dallas soon. Here's the story: BTW, how does 4.1 (4.30e) for 40 yards compare to your fast guys? storyEdited by: mastermulti

    Japanese sprinters

    Hi all, we've often mentioned how there are/have been some top notch Japanese sprinters. I stumbled upon this youtube (in Japanese) showing most of their top performances over the years. Patrick Johnson also features in two races near the beginning. Poor Koji Ito... in 1998 he clocked 9.99...

    some NZ news

    I know young David Ambler's been sprinting quite well in the States. Here's a youngster to watch out for. I think he turned 15 this week, weighs 84 kgs (185lbs) and stands 1.83 (6 ft)so he's still got some filling out to do. He must have some power though Jacko Gill
