yes, excuse our commentators over the top passion LOL. But they very good historians and analysers. Tamsyn Manou (nee Lewis') dad was a member of our 1974 team to last win Gold

you and I used to mention talk about guys way back in early 2006. I think I joined about 15 months after you. A while ago now WLThis brings back memories of the South African All White 4 x 100 Relays Squad that also won a Gold Medal at the 2001 World Championships! This was the team from 25 years ago that won gold for South Africa. All white sprinters. The time was 38.83

Yes sir. It's been an Incredible Commonwealths Games. A little sad that it's over but we will never forget it. It's great to have you
here mastermulti. There are about 5 to 10 of us here that help keep this track message board alive. I used to post on trackandfieldnews.com for a long time but the message board shut down. I'm very happy that we can still post here as athletics to me is the ultimate form of sport!

On August 5th the 2026 World Under 20 Championships starts. We have alot of men & women to root for. Two male sprinters I will
keep a close eye on are Marko Ferreira of South Africa and Jakob Kemminer of Germany. 19 year old Russian Sprinter Nikolay Grudkovsky has the 2nd fastest under 20 time in all of Europe but I don't believe he will be allowed to compete. It's just so unfair.
We also have the 2026 European Championships go from August 10th - August 16th. What a great summer of track & it's not over yet!

Audrey Leduc made the womens 4x100m relay very close, gaining on the anchor of Jamaica who I'd say is on the special yam diet. 3 of Jamaica's 4 athletes have braces....

you guys have more women strength in the relays than we do. 2 of ours were 11.45-11.50 runners which is notjing special. Luckily we do have good technical training. We have two young junior speedsters (Zara Hagan 11.14 and Leah O'Brien 11.17) who aren't there possibly because of world juniors coming up. It'll help immensely when they join senior ranks

Puripol Boonson is back in the sub 10 club again this year with a 9.99 +1.4 today in the Czech Republic. His pb is 9.94 set this past December. Good to see him running fast again this year. He's only 20 years old so plenty of time for him to improve. Who knows, maybe in 2028 we see an Olympic final with some diversity rather than it being all blacks. After all, they say diversity is the greatest thing since sliced bread don't they??

Simon Verherstraeten of Belgium ran a nice time of 10.12 +1.4 today for the win. A very nice time with a little over a week until the 2026 European Champs start.

Leduc is very good - her 100 final was a bit down on what she is capable of unfortunately

yes, nice - about the pace Browning just ran to hold off the African guys today so I'd say if Verherstraeten can be consistent with this form he'll be close to the pace in the European 100.
I can't wait to see the Euros - I'll have to check for local streaming

this makes me wonder “what if … ”.
American Cole Beck ran a sub-10 as a part-time sprinter/part-time football player before apparently giving up track completely in order to pursue a professional football career (and be COMPLETELY ignored by the anti-White football world). i wonder what he’s doing now at age 27?

I was rewatching CBC Canada's video of the mens 4x100m relay and all they could do is say how great Degrass was, Degrass got the baton in 4th place and would have got Browning in 1 more stride blah blah blah. I took a screen shot of the final exchange and Browning and Degrass had the baton in their hands at the same time...Browning flat out beat Degrass over the 100m plain and simple. I think Browning's leg was his most important race of his career even more so than his 10.01. He proved he could roll with the big boys and prevail! Well done Aussies!!
Side note: I used to train with Jerome Blake in Kelowna, he is a nice guy and worked very hard to get where he is. He has lost most of his Jamaican accent and is starting to sound like a Canuck. I still cheered for Australia though!

I know .... but the media are there to please the public, say what they want to hear. And the public who watch these events occasionally are all of a sudden "experts" who think their opinions are valid. We gush,gush,gush over athletes like Gout, "the refugee who made good" yet most of the public don't know much about the rather ordinary looking, squat white bloke who runs faster.
Re: Degrasse ..... does the media and public really think even a superstar like DeGrasse can make up 60cms on an excellent international level sprinter in "one more stride" LOL. We all know the answer to that.
Anyway gents, a good Games ... but I'm a bit embarrassed by Aust winning 1/3rd of all the Gold medals given out across all the sports.
I joked to a friend the other night ..... luckily for everyone else we were performing OUT OF SEASON

great to analyse where little improvements can be had. It would seem Lachlan K. needs to find an extra 0.02 per 10m increments after 50m to get into the mid/high 9.70s. So how does he get there? (Eseme gained 0.1 over the last 50m). He did manage a very fleet 0.84 split to he can manage the speed
Enjoy, mes amis!

Kennedy will find that improvement with continuing his speed endurance training. His start is improving almost everytime out, his drive phase is world class, it is his last 20m where he is vulnerable. Lets not forget he is only 22, he will get physically stronger in the next few years as well. His future is very bright.
Mastermulti: is there any indications in the Aussie media etc that Kennedy and Browning do not get along? If there is I think it may from Browning?

This was awesome! I love the optics of 4 White men beating the field of all black or 3/4 black teams. The 100M is the lynchpin of the “black athletic dominance” myth. We need more of this to overcome the stigma.
