I see Jamaica has a new threat for world sprint dominance. There will be some great sprinting generally in Paris. I'd love to see someone knock Bolt off the records perch

that is interesting - the fastest human might get to the 55m mark as the greyhound crosses the 100m line. Unbelievable!
I don’t see anyone beating femke bol ....or karsten Warholm in the 400 hurdles......mark my word ...they are super tough competitors .......
And otherwise the doped Jamaica team will raid there way to dirty medals ...and Kerley who stuttered all season suddenly throws down 9.8s when he needs to , alter the muck with gear changes.......
Shacarri is off her tits on dope ....just look who is coaching her !,,..
Once again the inept iaaf and Olympic movement allow cooperate money to dictate and let the doped scum continue to compete

And note ..coby Hilton for me is a very very talented young man ..who still physically looks weak ...more 120s in trading for him until he knocks down a solid 200 meters ...
Blaskowski is the real deal ..I hope he continues to base himself at la cross ..as he has benefited from the coaching ...and at this stage he deserves his sponsor .....noted Hilton was wearing ‘ rabbit’ running gear

And tortu over the deuce ...he left the euro title behind him for sure ...
I reckon tortu is very close to going 19.9 s ..and will go there in Paris ....and yes watch out for Rutledge of Texas in the coming year ...he is a phenomenal relay runner ..saw him several times on leg four run very fast rolling times which are a really good indication of potential ....

Boling is not a natural quarter ..and would be making a team USA in the 200 and or the LJ had his coaching ticket not changed at Georgia ...he need to go back to them and get them to break him down ..get his self belief back and become the athlete we know he can be .....
And it’s shocking how many American white athletes have no real sponsorship ...nuts ...
Well there you have it..there my 2 cents ...good to see the site is still going ....

She has alot of talent. The United Kingdom always impresses me with the amount of talent they have from a smaller country compared
to the United States of America. Glad to have you join the board koalalou. Many track fans here.
Also glad to see greyghost back. It's been a long time and I'm glad to see you back brother!
Thank you.
I started running in my mid 30s and trained with two young girls who later were on the British team.One is now a regular commentator and was an European silver medalist at 1500m
If only I knew I had a talent in my younger years.
I have an 18 year old who was a regional swimmer and cross country runner before sadly becoming unwell
Cross country is predominantly a white sport in the younger age groups in the UK

interesting re: Dobson, since their 400m record holder raced and won the 200m instead.
Looks like Hudson-Smith will have a team-mate in Charlie Dobson for the 400m in Paris. So glad he's finally had an injury free preparation
Yeah man, that Charlie Dobson could really be in the mix. He has 44.38 PB (he ran in same race when Doom did his 44.15). It's interesting that he also has a 6.59 PB for the 60 (the guy has major speed). Dobson is only 24, so has all kinds of upside. Doom is 27 and probably near his peak. I could see Doom breaking 44.0 at the Olympics and getting into the medals. Dobson is like a wild card.
I wonder what is up with Havard Bental Invaldsen (HBI). He had a PB of 44.39 in 2023, but has only managed a 45.37 this year. He is only 21 years old, so any injuries should clear up relatively quickly.

In addition to the guys you mentioned I'm also excited about the future of the 400 Meters Italian Sprinter Luca Sito. He is only 21 years
of age and already has a p.b. of 44.75! So maybe this next decade we will see many more world class 400 meters guys. That would be great.

The Folksam Grand Prix Karlstad in Sweden will be live soon on European Athletics. For those interested it's streaming for free.
I wish I could get into track, but there's just so many undeserving blacks who manage to get away with roiding all because of stereotypes and barely any whites participating

The meet in Sweden was hampered by winds, cold and rains...Larson managed a 20.56 200m. Andeas Kramer ran again(seems he runs once a week) and won in a tough conditions race. SA gal won the 400m hurdles and looked good although her time was in the 55's still a good outing for a crap weather situation.

Simon Berherstraeten will be racing over the 100 meters at the FBK Games on July, 7th in Hengelow. His last 3 races have been 10.15,
10.15 and 10.10 all wind legal. Maybe tommorow he can get closer to the 10 seconds flat barrier. The field is stacked with sub 10 sprinters.
