Browning's low key comeback race
I liked it when Bruce jokingly said "I'm celebrating now, I've got 0.02 advantage over you". And it was exactly the same advantage as last week. What competition I'm expecting at the Aussie championships, especially with Browning's slick win while hiding away in QueenslandI thought the same thing about Azzopardi. Pretty stupid to celebrate like that. He wasn’t comfortably ahead of 2nd place and he also feasibly could have had a chance to break 10 seconds. Not sure what he was thinking.
That's now Australia. Hence my remark tongue in cheek that we're now the "fastest European" team. None of the other teams shown in the list are - interestingly Japan and China are ahead (China just, Japan by 4/10ths.Anyone know what the mens 4 x 100 record is for an all white squad?

I agree - all proofs that talented, dedicated, well-trained white athletes/teams can get great resultsYes this is true for an all white 4 x 100 Relay Team All Time. However here is something positive for us here to think about?
The 3rd fastest team is from the United Kindom with Richard Kilty and Adam Gemeli on it. So 2 white guys & 2 black guys.
The 6th fastest team of All Time are the Italians with 2 of the 4 sprinters being white guys. Tortu, Patta, and a half white third guy in Jacobs.
That 4th fastest Japanese Team sure could run with 3 Asians & 1 Mixed.
World Indoors - glad to report Kennedy had the second fastest qualifier in 6.52 (which equals Shirvo's indoor record) since so many outside the country have called our times "fake" because they were outdoors.
Unfortunately Azzopardi just missed out with his 6.70 by 1/100th in horrible slow heat 1.
Three false starts meant he and Coby Hilton were hanging around for a long time. Hilton won it in the same time 6.70 - in fact all four placegetters getting that time - I have never seen a race that close.
Glad Hilton gets to run again anyway - but the slow time reflects the starting horrors
yes - to beat Mahuchikh is no mean feat. I was happy with 7 medals spread over so many disciplines - and a few 4ths too.Mastermulti will be happy to know that Aussie women, Olyslagers and Patterson, got gold and silver in the High Jump.
