Still trying to find a video of Andrew Robertson setting a new personal best.
Greg Cackett has been fun to watch. He is built like a freight train. Very powerful runner and I can see him lowering all of his p.b. again next year as he is learning things and refining his technique.
Karol Zalewski has got me really excited about his potential. He is not even 20 yet. This 19 year old just ran a 20.41 into a slight negative wind and he did it against a very high quality european field or sprinters. He is very tall and he just eats up the track. The future of Polish Sprinting is looking better all of the time. Alot of good young sprinters rising up out of such a small country. Nice to see. I hope they continue to have Zalewski run both the 1000 & 200 because he has so much potential in both races.
Here's a copy of the race. Note the poor quality and it cuts off at the conclusion of the race....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4729lfdJB8Still trying to find a video of Andrew Robertson setting a new personal best.

Another youngster to watch in the near future is 16 year old Thomas Somers who recently ran a time of 20.82 wind legal in the 200. That is flying for his age. Hope he can continue to improve.
A bit of bad news. Kristoffer Hari pulled out of the 100 this weekend with a slight hamstring pull in practice. He may or may not run the 200 due to the injury. Such a shame as it might cost his a chance at a world youth 100 meters all time record. It will be alot tougher to do it before the summer ends with little competition to push him. Get better Kristoffer. I can't wait to see you run again.
Kristoffer Hari doesn't turn 16 until December so he has time to break the record. He is .001 which is 1/100th of a second. So close to the world record that is why I'm a little disapointed he is not running against elite competition this weekend. I think he would have smashed the record. Can you imagine if he can get into the 10.20's as a 15 year old. That is unreal to even think about. He is good over both the 100 & 200 meters but it's the 100 record he trying to break. For those that are curious, he is currently 5'10 inches tall.
The testing is very strict in Denmark and Kristoffer has already been tested multiple times. He is clean and he is an incredible talent. I knew Christophe was special when I saw him run a 10.26 at 18 and he ran down nearly the whole field. I feel the same way about Kristoffer Hari!
15 years old ?
When I was 15 I had a classmate that was an NHL hockey prospect he had the build of a steroid abuser too, this was in the mid 80's when hockey prospects never really lifted weights seriously. Some people have this build look at Primo Carnera if you saw him competing today in boxing you would think PED's he was clean. You would have to look at his build when he is around other athletes. PS any coach that would give any athlete who is 15 Sarms or other PED's needs to go jail, similar to a pimp who administers narcotics to an under age prostitute so that she earns him money on the street.....:focus:If you go to his facebook, he shows a copy of one of the many drug tests he has taken and passed. He also states that him and his family are sick of all the drug allegations when he has passed many tests.
He is innocent until proven guilty in my book. I know he is very vascular but they only do excercises with body weight. Let's give the kid the benefit of the doubt. That is also a very close up pic and it is after a race. In most pics he looks normal but in very good shape. He does not look over muscular in 95% of the pics I have seen. Again give the talk a rest. Respect his family.
I remember reading in Arnold Schwarzeneggers encyclopedia of bodybuilding that he distinctly remembers his body responding very very well to weightlifting when he started training. At an age like 15 I think it is just genetics, not PEDs. I couldn't say for sure, but I would assume using PEDs while the body is still growing and developing could be very very damaging to hormone levels and possibly permanently damage things.ever see Arnold Schwarzenegger at 15? sometimes it just genetics. I find it hard to believe a 15 year old would be on PEDs. 17, 18 yeah, but 15?
