I honestly see her going sub 10.90 very soon, maybe even in the semis... she has absolute springs in her legs....

great to see Swoboda go 10.99 for the win, Luckenkemper moves on as well as Hobbs both in 11.08. Also Van der werken, Masters, Takacs of Hungary. Well done!

The womens sprints is so much fun to watch. We have talked for years that our men need to rise to the level of the women. Usually men lead the women in society and it should be that way. However, this is a example where the women are more physically, emotiionally and mentally ready to compete at the highest level. I salute them and hope to see our sprinters represent us better soon moving foward.
Audrey Leduc and Ewa Swoboda are both so fun to watch! I see both of them making the finals.

not really, she is wearing the one piece versus the top bottoms combo she usually wears...

Audrey Leduc dominating despite the announcers trying not to notice her performance!

Another white female sprinter to make it to the 100 Meters Semi Finals Karolina Manisova of Czech Republic.
All together we had 8 white female sprinters make it to the Semi Finals. It would be great if 3 or 4 made the finals but that would be
very unlikely. I see 2 and very possibly 3 with the 3rd being Patrizia Van Der Weken or Gina Luckenkemper.

Honestly off the form that Leduc showed in the first round she looks like a live dog for a medal. The women's 100m is pretty wide open for a medal less the gold as Richardson looks like she is level better than other sprinters but the Yams seemed to have aged out and their young sprinter Clayton looks beatable.
PS have the radioactive Yams withered in the ground as aside from Clayton the Yams haven't produced a young female sprinter in a while.
Also shout out to Grant Fisher as he broke up the East African party in the 10k with courageous running near the front of the pack for the entire race and snagged a bronze medal.

Sad to see the World Record Holder in the Mens Decathalon is not going to be in Paris. This sucks. I'm rooting for the young Norwegian

In the Mens 100 Meter Opening Heats I noticed how few of our guys are even in this event. No Samuelle Ceccarelli, Julian Wagner, Dominik Kopec, Filippo Tortu, etc. etc. It's pretty bleak. The heats will be soon. Maybe a few of our guys will suprise us but it's a numbers game and
I can't remember ever seeing an Olympic Opening 100 Meter Heats with so few of our guys. Mass third world immigration and mass replacement of our people. So sad to watch. I have no words. Glad the womens was not so negative.
As an example Teams Germany, England U.K., and Italy just for a start are all non white sprinters.

Larsen, Fuchs, Browning all choked in my opinion.....Taftian even ran faster than these 3. At least Bonsoon(Thailand) showed some guts and ran well to qualify.
Noah Lyles is a mentally unstable person...whats with his painted nails? Is he gay?

In the women's semis for the 100m Id say only Swoboda and Leduc have a chance at moving on, both will have to run 10.90 or better...

I'm with you brother. He seems like a good kid and man is he talented. He has run so many sub 10's this years at only 22 years of age.
L. Hincliffe just has ice in his veins and doesn't feel pressure. To be an elite sprinter it takes mental & emotional toughness as well as to
be physically fit. It's a complete package and Hincliffe has it all. The kid is only 5'9 and it proves that anyone can run fast. If you have that
fast leg turnover and speed endurance then the sky is the limit! Good luck to this young man.

Is Louie Hinchliffe half White Brit and half Filipino? I guess he’s more fun to root for than one of the endless numbers of West Africans.
Edit: pardon the misspelling.

Yes that is right. Here is a quick article about this young man who is quickly becoming a legend!
Meet the Sheffield sprinter who has fired himself into Olympics mix
EXCLUSIVE BY DAVID COVERDALE: Hinchliffe was just as shocked as everyone else. 'I couldn't really believe the time,' says the Sheffield sprinter. 'I was like,
Hincliffe is a 5'-9," half Asian, half white golfer. If he can run consistent 9:9s, then our guys can too. There has a to be a major psychological factor going on here. I mean, no one even showed up and ran a 10.1. In the US, Boling has been busy barking up the wrong tree for two years now and Cole Beck is chasing football fantasies. I could go on and on. Thanx for letting me vent.

I so glad Shacarri lost. The media never stops talking about her or Lyles. They are both demonic in my opinion like most of Amerikka/USSA

Congrats to the 2024 Olympic Decathalon Champion Markus Rooth! The first of many titles as this man is a superstar! Let me add that this was the first Olympic Mens Decathalon Medal for Norway since the year 1920! This kid is amazing!

Bol chases down U.S. in mixed relay to win gold
Femke Bol chased down American Kaylyn Brown over the final last half lap of the 4x400-meter mixed relay to win gold for the Netherlands.

Today was a good day at the track. Femke Bol is a legend the way she chased down the three negresses ahead of her to win gold in the mixed relay. Richardson not getting gold was a big deal because the US media were ready to crown her one of the faces of these games. And then the young Norwegian Rooth takes gold in the Decathlon!
But the highlight of the track events for me so far is Grant Fisher’s bronze in the 10k. I’ve watched this clip several times, notice the commentator Kara Goucher is not able to compose herself at the end. I hope Fisher can medal again in the 5k.
