Jan Volko did actually come very close to his best in both the 100 and 200 last year in Germany, running 10.13 and 20.39.
re Browning - his coach is adamant they are where they want to be after the 10.1+ in Celle Ligure. None of us know jack about his preparation, goals, peaking time frame, his body's capability to rebound or if he is managing a physical condition as best they can.
you know, unfortunately I can't name one male German 100m sprinter who runs consistently. Wagner is closest. If you look their profiles up on the IAAF site they are astoundingly all over the place - like Reuss their confident runs only happens at home.
****!
that's a standout - and his name is easy enough to remember
I think that's the takeaway from these results - all times were disappointing. It's only feasible to compare with others who are in exactly the same race/conditions.
This! Southern Europe is in an unprecedented heat wave with consistent temperatures at 100 degrees on a daily basis. While that is better for sprinters getting to the line can be draining as you can't always be in air conditioned rooms and need to be out in the heat at some point for stretching and basic drills.
Either way, this is a very poor result for Ceccarelli as far as I'm concerned.
Konstantin Krylov broke the Russian junior record in the 100m, which held for 33 years

The representative of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Konstantin Krylov three times a day surpassed the junior record of Russia (under 20 years old) in the 100 meters, which had been held for more than 30 years. Krylov won the Russian U23 championship, which takes place in Yekaterinburg, with a result of 10.17 seconds in the final race. In the preliminary race, he overcame the hundred meters in 10.22 seconds, and in the semi-final - in 10.15.
The previous achievement belonged to Alexander Goremykin, equaled 10.30 seconds and was shown in 1990.
Recall that the adult record of Russia in this form belongs to Nikolai Yushmanov and Andrei Epishin, who ran 100 meters in 10.10 seconds in 1986 and 2006, respectively.
In Yekaterinburg, Vladislav Skulin from the Irkutsk region finished second (10.33). The third was Danila Ten from the Krasnodar Territory (10.34).

I agree. I expected more from him. Perhaps he just isn't ready. Yet.
his 4 best 100 times were all achieved in 2018, 5 years ago. His 4 best 200m times were recent, all in 2021 and 2022. I think he's been hedging his bets because he can't start well. The 200s don't need the same lighting reaction from the blocks. It also means he's not starting side by side with anyone else so not direct pressure from a slower start. He's probably been guided to try 200 instead of 100 because they can't get him to start and accelerate with the world's best.
I think the challenge is the sample size is too small. Due to the caste system, there's frankly just not enough White sprinters. Thus, how does one really compare??
