Larsson 10.17 and Browning 10.18 in the finals.
Larson was impressive - zero wind and, from the full side on view replay, a fantastic start. Browning was possibly 3 feet behind him by 10 metres out and had to claw some distance back little by little but still finished 1/100th behind him.
Charleston's drive phase was unreal in comparison to everyone else. Can everyone learn to do it this way? Is it the competitive U.S. system that enables people to better learn their craft? probably body mechanics have a role to play too because we're all different
yes, a highlight start to his year thus far. May it continue for this 23 year old. I just updated his time on WikiExcellent post. Yes Charleston has that drive phase down to a science. Very impressive as the race was over early on.
I posted about Henrik Larsson in his individual thread too. He has been breaking his personal best both indoors & now outdoors.
I think we can say with all confidence that Jacobs is the George Santos of track and field and seems to be getting more mysterious as his athletic career unfolds...Marcell Jacobs will not participate in the upcoming 2023 European Athletics Team Championships, a continental event by nation as part of the 2023 European Games in Poland. The blue champion of the global sprint, Olympic gold medalist in Tokyo in the 100m and in the 4×100m relay, has decided to give up the event due to injury to try to recover better in view of the World Championships in Budapest at the end of August.
At this point a question arises: who will take Jacobs' place for the blue colors in the 100 meters in Chorzow? In reality, the choice of the Italian technical staff is almost natural considering the performance of our sprinters this season, net of any last-minute physical setbacks or alternative schedules.
In absentia of the European record holder on the straight, Samuele Ceccarelli has in fact proved to be the main candidate for the call-up. The 23-year-old from Massa, indoor continental champion in the 60 meters in Istanbul last March 4, boasts the best Italian performance of the year also in the 100m after running in 10 "13 at the seasonal debut outdoors in Florence at the Golden Gala.

Eva Swoboda 6th place in the 100 at 11.07. Same old.
if she can't relax it's probably because she's always expecting her rivals to catch her. I reckon it'd be pretty much ingrained in her by now from doing it over and over again. Tough to overcomeI agree that Swoboda is a 60 meter specialist, but still, she should have learned to relax by now and get into the 10.9s. What is she, 25 years old or something like that. She's been in a lot of big meets.
Samuli Samuelsson just clocked a new Finnish NR of 10.12 with +0.9 tailwind in Kuortane Finland, Oliver Bromby of GB ran the exact same time for his new PB in this race. Cravont Charleston won the race with a new PB of 9.90. Excellent conditions to run in Finland, as we have a heat wave nearing 30 celsius degrees.
Samuli is a technically extremelly sound lightweight sprinter who benefits from tailwind quite a bit because of his light structure. Proud to be a Finn. Might have more to come.
