Devon Allen 1st place 110 meter hurdles 13.03.
Greg Rutherford's PB in the long jump is number 118 on the all time list. I don't doubt his complexion plays into the lack of interest, but the long jump marks all around have seemed weak the past few years.
Yes!!, I did notice the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the Brit announcer during Rooney's win. Man, that is like Orwellian creepy. It's very upsetting to see non euros competing for euro countries. You can see the day coming when tan everyman from region 1 will be competing against tan everyman from region 2 while fans all wearing Mao jackets cheer.
Devon Allen is capable of winning gold at Rio. He should make the medal stand at the very least. I would be we haven't
seen a world class white hurdler in the 110 high hurdles since the 1950's to 1960's! The kid is an amazing talent. He might
just challenge for the world record by the next olympics. I'm so pumped about watching him run in Rio!
Hope Prandinni can make the team in the 200 meters individual group tommorow.
Some studies have shown that low repetition weight lifting increases testosterone. Add in the constant short term bursts of sprint training, and person is going to get a muscular body. Especially someone training all out to compete at an elite level.
Do you guys remember Arto Bryggare of Finland? He won a bronze in 1984. He had white white hair and really stood out.
You're forgetting....
Guy Drut France: 1972 Olympic silver medalist, 1976 Olympic gold medalist, World Record holder 13.0 hand-time.
Thomas Munkelt East Germany: 1980 Olympic gold medalist, 1977 World Cup gold medalist, 1979 World Cup silver medalist.
Florian Schwarthoff: 1996 Olympic bronze medalist.
And of course the Russian Shubenkov: 2015 World championships gold medalist, 2013 World championships bronze medalist.

So sorry, my mistake ( American). I didn't realize you're so easily offended. I'll be sure not to reply to your posts from now on. Would you like me to to not share my opinions until I reach mentor status. Do I trigger you by sharing my knowledge.Pay attention. I said american hurdler. Some people do not read i swear. For a newbie you think you know everything. Read and learn to comprehend.

Your an idiot. We talk about Prandini and Teeters being american sprinters. Where is Devon Allen from Mr Einstein. How many american sprinters and hurdlers have there been for the last 3,4 maybe even 5 decades. Kevin Little, Jeremy Wariner and a few others. Very few. You know what I meant. Dont come here disrespecting me.
