Aleia Hobbs is a woman?

In my honest opinion no it's another trans athlete like in so many of the sports now. The leaders are all evil and they promote trans everything.
It's so unfair to all the women in so many different sports. The times don't matter if it's not a biologically born woman.

Yannick Wolf wins the 100 Meters at the German National Championships. Yannick Wolf ran a time of 10.19 +0.2 wind while Julian Wagner
was 2nd again today running a time of 10.21. Was hoping he would finally win the title this year despite not being in the best form. Robin Ganter took 3rd in a 10.29 so at least the gold, silver and bronze medals all went to Authentic German Sprinters! Yannick Wolf is one to watch going foward as he has been the the most consistan German Sprinter aside from Wagner this year. Sadly Kevin Kranz false started in the finals.

In the womens finals as expected Gina Luckenkemper won again running a superb 11.03 +0.3 wind! She makes it look so easy! Congrats again
to her. I said it around a month ago. I expect her to break her personal best this summer!
I'd like to see her confirm her 10.90s status with a low 10.90s run. She is all alone in German sprint circles (the rest of the field would have been 11.30s+) although Hasse can sometimes rise to the occasion. I love watching her running 3rd leg and then chasing Hasse half way down the straight while screaming. There's a woman with spirit!

As much as I loved and adored Verena Sailor, Gina Luckenkemper is another level above her. She does this year after year and she
is still 26 so we should see more of this the next several years. Her closing speed is incredible. If her starts could improve I can see her
dip into the very high 10.80s on a perfect day. Like so many of the sprinters we like she gets so far behind many times by 60 meters it's
hard to make up that ground let along run a new personal best time without more consistant starts! I also agree like Lemaitre when he ran
Gina L. has no teammates to push her in practice sessions. So it's only on race day that she faces elite sprinters. The other german female
sprinters need to step up their A Game.

I wanted to say one last think about Yannick Wolf. He just turned 23 in May so he is still young. He has run in the 10.16 to 10.20 range
around 6 times this season. With or without the wind he is firm and stable as these times are comfortable for him. This is a great base
to build on for not only this summer but for the next 4 to 6 years. One thing many of our guys struggle with is consistancy. Before you can
do great things you have to be a consistant sub 10.20 guy normaly and then a consistant sub 10.10 guy over and over. Once you break through
these 2 areas you can now make a full out assault on a sub 10 time. Wolf right now is the best sprinter for Germany.

That being said Wagner could and should have won this race but he fell asleep in the starting blocks. That quick cat nap as the gun went off
cost him the title of Germany's Fastest Man yet again. HIs stride length just eats up the track and he damn near came back and won this
race after a horrible start. I feel so bad for him. Always the runnerup has to play tricks on him mentally.

Elian Larrengina of Argentina, ran a 45.34 400m at a meet in Belgium.
He is 23 yrs old, and I believe that is a new national record.

I'm trying to decipher if his father is Vladimir Krylov. He is now 59 so the age would fit.
A very decent 6.59/60m,10.13/100m, 20.23/200m, 45.20/400m man in the late 80s and member of the Soviet GOLD medal winning 4x100 team in Seoul. I haven't found enough information to verify.
Don't know if Krylov surname is common.

You may be right my friend. Yes if that is his father it makes sense where he got his speed from. Look what he in just the
heats of the 2023 Russian Under 23 Champs. Remember he is only 19 years of age!

If she was a Bruce Gender type it would be a huge scandal and the media would be talking endlessly about her/his rights. She is just pushing the envelope with the testosterone ration at least if not on a PED stack that the current drug testing regiment can't test for.

I agree she is scary looking and is probably shortening her life but I'm near 100 percent she is biologically female.

Good chance it is as he was world level finalist in the 200 meters and as you said a former short sprint relay gold medalist. I remember even in 88' a "track expert" was brought in to explain the Soviet victory with 4 "mediocre" sprinters. I don't recall any such talk when France set a new world record a few years later with a vibrant team of Mulattos and full blooded Africans when the individual sprinters weren't any better than the Soviet team was.

PS it might have been Simpson commenting on track for NBC as he was a studio analyst and sideline reporter in playoff games and back in his USC days he was a top collegiate sprinter.

Matthew Boling Did Not Show up for his 200 meters heat. Smart move even though he could have easily advanced with the slow times
in the heats.

Sam Blaskowski is out.

The great news is that Austin Kresley advanced running a time of 20.44. You can tell everyone is not running hard as it's the opening heats.
Kresley only qualified by 1/100th of a second so he almost blew it but he is on to the semi finals.

it’s “weird” that the German track system is supporting the blermans instead of real German male athletes, yet it’s the real Germans who prevail head to head. “weird,” for those who don’t understand anyway.

Checking the entries for US and US under 20 Championships, and came across I didn't know - Tyler Azcano.
He is a freshman in college, and has a run a legal 10.22 and a windy 10.07 (2.6w).
He will be running in U20 Championships next week.
Well here is a big surprise!
I had never heard of Tyler Azcano until a week ago, and yesterday he ran a legal 10.09 to finish 2nd at the US U20 (under 20) Championships! WOW!!!

Amazing. 2023 has been an epic year so far for the youth in both the boys and the girls. Who ever finds this race first please post the video!

All 3 of our lovely ladies made it through to the Womens 200 Meters Finals. We will have 3 out of 8 Sprinters in the Finals. This
is what I call progress. Sprinting is for everyone. Not just who the media thinks it's for. The stereotypes are not true.

Devon Allen D.N.S.

Trevor Cunningham onto the finals with a 13.23!

Connor Schulman finished in 5th so he won't make it through. Still a fine showing.

I was watching a YouTube channel and the guy(black) is accusing USA sports of rigging Steiners lane selection and calling it racist as she is white...I agree, cant have a white chick upset the Black narrative!

He was supposed to go to Florida A&M, but he wasn't on their track roster this year, and I can't find any collegiate marks for him.
It looks like he took a year off (2023) after high school.

I guess Jenna won't be heading off to represent the states this year ... but she's been a great performer.
Mia should learn much from being in 2 finals and having no illogical expectations above that. She ran with the best ladies in the land and will get noticed for being the fastest 17 year old, a sprinting baby, in the world. What will she be doing over the next few years? it'll be fascinating to watch.
Abby Steiner wasn't quite up to last year's excellence, for whatever reason, but should still make the relay squad I imagine

I'm looking forward to the European Under 23 Champs. However the double standard is so unfair. Ukraine Track Athletes can compete
while Russian Athletes cannot just like the Olympics, World Champs, and every other major championship. The ban has been lifted yet
because who runs the world they dictate who can and who cannot run the world. It's not fair to the athletes. The fastest under 23 sprinter
in all of Europe is a Russian Sprinter who like all of the young Russian Men & Women will not be allowed to compete. LIke these athletes
have anything to do with wars or politics. I've said it before that sports and politics should not be connected yet they always are.

cant find the link in my history so I am assuming he deleted the link as he was getting hammered by the people(blacks) commenting live on his channel. Steiner did not do well in the final, tightened up alot the the whole race especially the last 30m.
