It’s unfortunate, but maybe Browning is just a 10.0x guy. That’s still faster than almost any human that’s ever lived so it’s not taking anything away from him. He just doesn’t seem to be able to find that next level. Once again, I hope I’m wrong but that may just be the case.

That’s basically the most stacked field in the world right now. This is what you have to do if you want to get better. You can’t be afraid to get beat. Thompson should win this one as he is in top form, clearly roided out. Another 9.7 Jamaican, nothing to see here….but that’s for another...

It’s the same with Pietro Mennea’s white 200 meter record. It’s almost 50 years old and nobody has been able to beat it.

What a race he had. The way he kept pulling through the whole race indicates to me he's ready for a sub 10 with just a little more work. Once you've watched enough sprinting you can just tell when a sprinter is on the next level. It's usually not the start, but the way they close out the...

I read that article and it talks about how he was touted as having world class speed. The reality is that he just doesn't. Not even close actually. His wind legal personal best in the 100 is 10.30. That is very fast of course for a high school varsity track team, but not anywhere close to...

A good example might be Louie Hinchcliffe working with Carl Lewis. They probably just kind of gel together. Be interesting to see if he gets any faster. I just checked and it looks like Hichcliffe has only run once this year on May 25th and his time was 11.65. Maybe it’s injuries or some...

His only 3 100m races this year have been in the 10.6 and 10.7 range. Not a promising sign, he must be battling injuries. Dominik Kopec ran a 10.26 into a negative wind on June 13th. He had a 10.09 last year and a 10.05 the year before. He is 30 but maybe he can pull something out this year...

Yeah I agree. At this point in his career he can’t afford to be getting disqualified like that!

Yep it’s been the same talking points for decades now. The constant fear mongering and the constant war. We are all so tired of it.

I think sprinting is more or less a sport that Russia doesn’t care a lot about in current times. This year for example they only have 6 guys that have run a 10.5 or better. Heck, they only have 28 guys so far this year that have run under 11. That’s a participation issue, not a talent or...

That’s a great list. I will always believe that Lemaitre could have been in the 9.7 club if he had a personality like Lachlan Kennedy! Either way it’s proof that guys all over the world can put down some blazing times and compete with the best.

I had a funny conversation with ChatGPT the other night. I asked the simple question of whether black people are faster or not. It boldly denied that any race is faster than any other. It simply stated that there are a multitude of factors that come into play, some being genetic and then it...

It doesn’t mean much but I decided to ask ChatGPT to estimate what Larry Quelstad’s time would be today and it estimated it to be a 9.98-10.04. Kind of interesting.

As long as republicans are able to keep power, it’s great. They can keep booting out illegals and keep immigration to a minimum. If the democrats get back in power though they are going to purposely open the doors wide open and it will be a complete disaster. The power struggle between right...

Yohan “magical yams” Blake is running and I thought he had all but retired! Yes it would be great to see Larson get his first sub 10. He certainly has the potential but will have to see how he does against elite competition. That’s what’s so impressive about Kennedy, he seems to have ice in...

According to the article he’s committed to playing football at Southern Oregon University. It’s a shame his focus isn’t on track, but maybe he will have a chance to transfer to a division 1 program and possibly make the NFL. It’s always a gamble as you need to be running 9.8’s to make the...

Interesting that 9/11 of the sprinters on the men’s side ran their times within the past 3 years. Definitely a promising trend and it really shows what we’ve been saying for a long time. If whites just participate in the sprints more, there will be a lot more at the elite level. It’s just a...

Casey Combest was another one that peaked early. He still holds the highschool 60m record of 6.57. I’m sure he could’ve broken that PB if he didn’t screw his life up and get in trouble with the law. I just ran accross an article about his son King Combest who is fast in his own right, but...

Anej Čurin Prapotnik from Slovenia is 22 years old now and just ran a new PB of 10.23 +1.6. Not a blazing time and it’s only 1/100th better than his previous best but it is progress nevertheless. He is sitting 4th on the all time list for Slovenia with the number 1 still being the fairly well...

Heiko Gussman of Germany ended his indoor season with a new PB of 6.57 in the 60m. He ran a new 100m PB of 10.28 +0.6 on May 24th. Another one to watch as the summer season goes into full swing.

White Argentinian Tomas Villega is only 21 and had a huge PB on March 29th of 10.21 +1.3. Since then it looks like he’s run a couple of races in the 10.3 range. One to keep on the radar. I believe this is him:

The architecture is one of my favorite things. The buildings are so extravagant and gorgeous. Architecture today is so dystopian and corporate. It’s cold and uninviting.

I’d say you have to wait on a guy like Boonson since he will probably be running for a number of years and may break his PB at some point. Austin Kratz is a good example of a sprinter that peaked early in my mind as he ran his best time in highschool and I don’t believe he was ever able to...

Konstantin Krylov ran a 10.16 on May 28th. The wind was +2.1 but still not bad to start the season. It was at the Russian team championships. He ran a 10.49 in the heats earlier so I’m guessing he was way out in front and just shut it down early to conserve for the finals. He should be able...

Prefontaine is always a fast track. Hopefully he can throw down a new PB.
