I think that both Henrik Larsson and Rohan are going to do great this season. It would be great to see Larsson inspire Europe especially Scandinavians.

Impressive!

certainly our best sprinter as far as consistency goes. Even if it all went pear-shaped now, he and his coach's commitment to improvement and patiently trying tweaks (rather than appearing to panic) will list him here in Australia as a historically impressive team

Rohan Browning is even faster than Matt Shirvington ever was not only with his personal best time but also his average top 10. Shirvo
did go sub 10.10 multiple times but no australian sprinter can match Brownings consistant high level of performances. He also has done
it at home in Australia many times and in Japan now 3 times with a 10.10 or lower. Very exciting. Now like mastermulti says he needs to
head to Europe to continue to prove that he can run fast on any continent. It seems to also be inspiring other young Aussie and New Zealand Sprinters similar to the Lemaitre Effect in Europe & the Boling Effect in America!

In the same track meet Gina Luckenkemper ran a seasons best of 11.03 wind legal. Mary Best Sant Price opened up
her outdoor season with a 11.16 time as well. Can't believe how fast Luckenkemper is already
Gina Luckenkemper has a p.b. of 10.95 and I see her smashing that this summer! I still have a crush on her after all of these
years. She is now 26 years of age and she looks better than ever. Aging like a Fine Wine!

Here's Sam in action, running his 10.16, which is a new NCAA D3 record.
The previous record had stood since 1983.
Congratulations.

Congrats young man. Way to show the haters that white sprinters can not only compete and win but also set new national D3 Records!
We see it all the time in football and basketball with white athletes being discriminated against because of false lies and stereotypes.The
same things occur in track with racial slotting and kids not offered Division 1 Scholarships because of the color of their skin.
There is a saying. If you say a lie over and over, people will believe it to be the truth. A lie is always a lie. We were told whites couldn't go
sub 10 or sub 20. We were whites couldn't run or jump. All lies and anti white propaganda. When our people believe in themselves and have
the right coaching the sky is the limit! The same with Asians. Blacks are not the only ones that can run fast or jump high.
Sam Blaskowski still has quite a bit of upside with his young age. Like the old school shorts which you rarely see anymore. Kind of cool
for a change. The kid must squat like 500lbs. Quadzilla 2. Congrats Sam. You deserve the spotlight but stay hungry kid. Your just getting
started and onward to bigger and better things!

what I find attractive about her is her passion and commitment. We see it in relays - on the 3rd leg she runs most of the way down the straight yelling at Rebecca Hasse lol. And that European 100 win last year was magic. When that intelligent face smiles her eyes really show the passion.In the same track meet Gina Luckenkemper ran a seasons best of 11.03 wind legal.

Steiner's 22.06 was with a 3.1 tailwind so in actuality not such a good time....she looked great against average competition.... At the same meet the mens 100M had a +4.4 wind which was great for a bunch of PED users.....

Golden Ceccarelli: “My creepy 100 meters”
May 15, 2023
The entry lists of the Golden Gala in Florence were presented, the fearless indoor European gold in the big match with Jacobs, Kerley, Bromell, Omanyala: "I don't lack courage, I want to confront myself and these astronomical rivals"
“Brave is the right word! The level of the opponents is astronomical, being alongside these characters is a source of pride”. He is not afraid of anything, Samuele Ceccarelli. The man of surprises (Ancona indoor absolutes, Istanbul indoor Europeans, do they say anything?) has no fear, only the right and dutiful respect. For everyone. For the Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs, for the world champion Fred Kerley, for the world bronze Trayvon Bromell, the stars of the 100 meters at the Pietro Mennea Golden Gala on June 2 in Florence. Protagonist of the press conference to present the 'entry list' at Palazzo Vecchio, the European indoor champion says he is ready for the challenge: "I think I deserved this chance - underlines the Atletica Firenze Marathon sprinter - it is the consequence of a path that I just started and I want to continue for a long time. It will be a way to compare myself with myself and with opponents of the highest level. I will use the opportunity to 'understand' athletics. And maybe to try to have my say. My life has changed a bit, and even if I live as if nothing had happened, the mere fact of attending the Golden Gala means that something has happened." It is the meeting director Marco Sicari who completes the list of sprinters competing at the Ridolfi, for what he defines as "an epic challenge, which is having great international resonance": the Kenyan Ferdinand Omanyala, seasonal world leader with 9.84 last Saturday , the South African Akani Simbine, fourth at the Tokyo Games, the Jamaican Daegu 2011 world gold medalist Yohan Blake, the Sinhalese Yupun Abeykoon. "I had a shiver down my spine when I heard Blake's name pronounced - admits the 'Cecca' - they are 'heavy' names, but they stimulate me even more".
The councilor for sport of the Municipality of Florence Cosimo Guccione is proud: "Florence is considered, after Rome, the second home of athletics in Italy - he declares - We have a facility, the Ridolfi, which in 2023 will celebrate its first 20 years: no what better way to celebrate this important milestone than by hosting the Golden Gala. I'm sure we'll have a packed stadium: let's bring the world's best in athletics to Florence. I thank FIDAL for this. And I thank the Tuscany Region for the support”. “Many athletes, such as Larissa Iapichino, Leonardo Fabbri and Samuele Ceccarelli, have blossomed in Florence - recalls the councilor - the administration is convinced that supporting grassroots sports clubs with the constant improvement of public facilities is essential. For this reason, in recent years, we have redeveloped all the athletics tracks in our city and in June, in conjunction with the Golden Gala, work will start on the new Sorgane track and the new indoor track at Ridolfi. We want to update our facilities making them more efficient both for grassroots sport and for athletes who need to achieve great performances".
The FIDAL president Stefano Mei underlined how unmissable the show in Florence is: “Two years ago it was an emergency situation, in the midst of the Covid period, with few enthusiasts who were able to attend the Golden Gala at the Ridolfi. This year, however, the stadium will be full and we will have important matches, full of champions. We are happy for this extraordinary moment in our athletics: the boys have given us two dream years, without interruption, and I can say that I am very proud of the Azzurri. In recent international events we have reached the top of the points classifications: in this Golden Gala, on June 2nd, we can field athletes who aspire to victory, and it is not at all obvious, because it has not always been like this in history". Also at the table was CONI Toscana president Simone Cardullo, who brought greetings from president Giovanni Malagò: “This is a region full of activities and the Golden Gala takes us back to the glorious period of the meeting in Florence which in the 1970s and 1980s saw many champions in our city. I'm sure Florence will be able to respond en masse".
“The sale of tickets is going very well - underlines the meeting director Marco Sicari - the two grandstands have been sold out for some time and there are only a few hundred tickets left for the two corners. In detail, we will have 7 defending champions from Tokyo in individual competitions and 7 world champions from Eugene in individual competitions. Four of these phenomena have made an encore, Kipyegon, Cheptegei, Mihambo, Moon. It is an extraordinary level and we are proud of it. We must thank all the partners of the Golden Gala and we can officially announce that Frecciarossa will be with us as Official Train".

I wish Ceccarelli would try some easier meets and competition before throwing himself into the fire with some of the biggest names in sprinting. He has hardly raced at 100m over the past 2 years.
I think he needs to 'warm up' a bit and build some confidence at 100m, before going into battle with the big boys.
But, who knows, maybe he will surprise me!

Yes he is fearless. Maybe a little crazy too but the majority of dominate sprinters worldwide have one similar thing about themselves.
They are all Alpha Male Types. No Betas stand a chance and it's very intimidating. I would have liked for him to have 1 or 2 warmup
meets but if he wants this and his coach is ok with it, then throw him to the wolves. These sprinters are like an Olympic Finals. So yes
to say it's a tall task is an understatment of the year. We should call the kid "Braveheart". No matter what happens the kid has ice in
his veins and exudes confidence. I love it!

German Sprinter Yannick Wolf opened up his season with a 10.30 with 0 wind. He just turned 23 one week ago. Wolf has a p.b.
in the 100 meters of 10.27 which he will easily smash this year. He was a long jumper but seems to be focused mainly on the sprints
now. Hoping that Yannick Wolf along with 22 year old teammate Simon Wulff 10.33 +0.1 can make some moves this year!
There are so many younger german sprinters but we need the true ones to rise up as Germany is woke with their team and losing
focus of what it means to represent Germany. This is one reason I love countries like Poland who don't bend a knee to this forced
mass migration and replacement of the people, morals, values and traditions of these great countries across Europe.

In Germany today 22 year old Robin Ganter ran a new p.b. of 10.16! Now that's how you smash your p.b. in your very first race!
Great to see and hopeully that is just the base and he will build on this and get faster.

In Italy we had windy conditions for the mens 100 meters.
Lorenzo Patto ran 10.09 and 10.08 both windy. Still good to see.
Filippo Tortu ran 10.16 and 10.17 both windy as well.

Beck 10.05 and Boling 20.17 in the NCAA East Regionals ..... I didn't see any of that coming after their conference championships performances. Massive improvements for both, and these are times from the heats.
Are further improvements coming!???

Yes! Just got home late so I missed it. Gonna have to watch the video replays several times. So pumped for the Senior Cole Beck! Been
waiting for a race like this for several years now. Wish it was a little slower to save more for the finals but it's a great new personal best time!

Excellent work jackync. It makes me so angry about Teeters and Quinn both within an eyelash of that sub 10! Let's hope that
Cole Beck can break the mark this weekend. It may inspire him to keep on sprinting. I sure hope so!
