He has not progressed. if he did, he would of, for one, beaten his 60 meter time. He did not. He opened up with slow times this year, much slower than last year... and in his last interview, he even states he is disappointed and he may not beat his personal bests this year.
Lets see what happens this week in the 100. If he runs slow, you will say the same thing - wait til next week. There is something wrong with his training or mindset that is keeping him from flourishing. Take it as you wish, but Carraz is not good for him at this stage. He needs a new direction. Change is good.
Its highly improbable that a wind READING +2.0 is going to help a sprinter exactly .10 EVERY SINGLE TIME. I would say there are tons of variations that exist anywhere from .05 to .10 for different races. I have read some information, I have read the study showing the inconsistent times when reading the wind on both sides of the track every 20 meters and I have read that a crosswind of +3.0 can read as +1.7, how much does a crosswind of +3.0 help by?Thanks by your comment
RCSMAN
Really a wind 2.0 is around 0.10 better that wind 0.0
People should to find information before to talk about it.

This is a 0 wind reading. Wind readings clearly aren't accurate every time.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHPK_71uQXc

To tell variations since 0.05 to 0.10 in a wind 2.0 compared to wind 0.0 is not logical in my opinion.
The variations could to be around 0.08 to 0.10, but to tell "only" 0.05 between wind 0.0 and wind 2.0, sorry is that the people does not know much about the wind.
The wind readings are not perfect, but are not so horrible like someone tell here.
And Why to tell this one?For to tell that when Lemaitre had 2.0 wind he does not get help heheh.
Please the people that know sprint races know that is big help, so his 2nd time is 9.95 and he only got until now a time sub10 basic time, in semifinal barcelona 2010.
I love Lemaitre, but im not blind.

The problem with you it is because you do not seem to know the athletics!
You look at TIMES without understanding what they mean!You say that christophe did not improve on 60M! FALSE !!!!
2010: his first one 60M of the season = 6,62
his best 60M of the season = 6,55
2011: his first one 60M of the season = 6,69
his best 60M of the season = 6,55
2012: his first one 60M of the season = 6,57
his best 60M of the season = 6,57
Christophe had never begun his season in running the first one 60M so fast (6,57)!
It is logical that the first race of the season is always the worst, every sprinter improves these time gradually during the season and it is that did christophe years previous one EXCEPT this year ! Why?
Because Christophe worked a lot his body-building this winter, his entraineur explained that during the season indoor, his body had not "digested" the sessions additional of body-building yet !
For you, his season indoor demonstrates that he declines, for me his season indoor demonstrates that he progressed, because the one who knows the athletics knows that when a sprinteur run his first one 60M of the season in 6.57, it means that he can run 6,50 !
Moreover Pierre Carraz said that during the sessions of training christophe would run 6,50 !
I repeate it, it is not enough to look at TIMES, it is necessary to understand them!
You speak about the bad 100M of christophe but you forget that he have ran with an unfavourable wind between -4m/s and - 6m/s, a real storm !
A lot of people here compare the TIMES of the Americans, jamaicains with christophe's TIMES ! It is stupid
The Americans and the jamaicains have ran races with sometimes very positive wind and ESPECIALLY with very warm temperatures !
There is an enormous difference between to run with 30°c and to run with 14°c, the muscular efficiency is not at all the same!
For example:
In 2011 yohan blake has ran on May 7th to Kingston 9,80 with a wind of 2,2m/!
1 month later in Montreuil he would run 9,95 with a wind of 1m/s !
The difference it is in jamaica he had ran with a temperature of 30°c and to Montreuil (France) he had run with a temperature of 14°c!
To judge a stopwatch it is necessary to analyze it by taking all the parameters who influences the performance !
A performance it is not only figures !
We shall see how is going to run christophe during his next race planned next Sunday !
At the moment the weather planned for Sunday it is rain and cold (14°c) !
Christophe has ran a 250M in 26,25 !
For run 26,25 it is necessary to be capable of running within 20,20 in the 200M, it demonstrates that christophe is in shape !
I hope that what I write will be understandable for everybody because I use a francais / English translator !
Christophe has never said that he would not beat these records this years, I do not know where you read that !

I also think that there is no progression about 60m the last two years ... and two years ago he was 19.
In 2009 (he was 18 years old) he ran 6,64 sec. Now we have 2012 and he runs 6,57 sec. and he had four races indoor.
His start is terrible. He raises his head at the “On your marks” – position. I think, that’s a mistake. At Daegu 2011 the other finalists all look down.
I have also seen the videos where he is doing squat jumps and lunges with “children weights”. I don’t find them anymore. Has anybody the link?

Christophe himself said after his indoor season he expected to run a faster time in the 60, so he did not progress.
The link provided by another poster says that breaking his personal records this year is not a goal and it may not come.. but if he cant beat his personal bests this year there is no way he will medal in either the 100 or 200 and probably not make the finals in either, considering how all the Jamaicans are running with their super yam formula and to deal with Tyson Gay, Dix, Wallace and Gatlin from the States. He needs to be more confident and state to the press - YES! I will break my personal bests, and he needs to truly believe it. He needs to see it in his mind breaking the records. Mind is as important as muscle.
I know more about Human performance in relation to all sports, so Track and field is not specific. But I know how to train to increase speed and power. I also practice mediation when striving for a goal.
Are you friends with Christophe or Caraz?

here is a video of lemaitre training:
[video=youtube_share;E8dhxWbw5a0]http://youtu.be/E8dhxWbw5a0[/video]
weight training at 1.14, and 3.41
you can see that he doesn't train very heavy
but even worse is what his coach said about his lack of muscle mass: he said in the video that they don't have to do what every other sprinters do (a lot of weight training) and that lemaitre will never be very muscular like the american sprinters
i hate when he says things like that
other quotes by his coach about musculation:
"weigh training is fashionable, but i don't know whether it's a good thing or not, especially for 200m sprinters"
"yes, he will have a little bit more training sessions
and also a little bit more of weight training
but intelligent weight training, he is not going to lift huge weights"
"weight training shouldn't be an end in itself"
he thinks that he's more intelligent than every other trainer? every body do a lot of weight trainig but lemaitre doesn't have to do so?
i hate this attitude, i think that it's typically french to overlook weight training
and his coach mentions that the sprinters nowadays look less like bodybuilders than before
it's absolutely not true
look at asafa powell, or johan blake
and it's true that bolt is very tall so he doesn't look that blocky, but he is a bodybuilder too
look at the difference between lemaitre and bolt:
bolt's shoulders are 2 time as wide as lemaitre's

you said "Christophe himself said after his indoor season he expected to run a faster time in the 60, so he did not progress".
YES christophe expected to run a faster time in the 60, NOT because he didn't progress, BUT because he had ran faster during sessions of training !
Why you modify what said christophe ?
Christophe said that he wanted a medal, that to beat these records was not a goal for this year BUT that he thought all the same that he could go faster this year !
There are really persons strange on this forum!

Bolt bodybuilder?hehe i dont think it.
People like Linford Christie,Maurice Greene or Powell perhaps can to be called "bodybuilders", Bolt no.
Bolt was very slim when he was teenager, almost like Lemaitre but Bolt always had more muscles although he was slim.
Bolt now with his 1.93-94 he "only" weight 90-92 kgs usually(max 94 the last year when he had problems in his back and he had that build muscle there).
In Beijing with same age that Lemaitre now he "only" weighted 86-88 kgs, for his height is not so much.
The problem is that Lemaitre is very slim for short sprint(for 200m in my opinion is good), he will be now perhaps around 80 kgs, when in my opinion he should to be soon around 85 kgs that is a good weight for his height around 190 cms.
Lemaitre never will be a muscleman sprinter ok, it is true, but he should to be with a little more muscles that now and with around 85 kgs that for his height is "normal weight"

tu me fais honte à reprendre les vieux clichés raciste sur les français, tu fais le jeu de certains sur ce forum !
avec ton "typiquement français" !
pour toi les français sont arrogant, gay, ne se lave pas etc... c'est ça !
tu aurais voyagé tu serais que les français sont très loin d'être les plus arrogant !
d'ailleurs il suffit de lire les commentaires sur ce forum où beaucoup pense que lemaitre devrait partir de france pour progresser car pour eux les entraineurs français sont forcément moins bons : qui est arrogant là ?
ta vidéo date d'il y'a plus d'1 an, si tu regardes le corps de christophe tu verrais qu'il est beaucoup plus musclé cette année !
je ne sais pas où tu as vus que bolt était bodybuildé, comparé la musculature d'un noir et d'un blanc n'a pas beaucoup de sens, les blancs et les noirs ne sont pas fait pareil !
christophe n'a que 21 ANS, arrêtez de le faire chier, laissez le progresser tranquillement, combien de jeune sprinteur qui était très performant jeune ont disparus suite à des blessures qui ne leur a jamais permis de revenir à leur niveau !
carraz a raison, les muscles sont certes important mais ils ne font pas tout, loin de là , sinon chambers serait n°1 mondial !
carraz a dit qu'il voulait développer christophe en lui évitant les blessures, christophe est notament fragile des adducteurs !
christophe doit se muscler et c'est ce qu'il fait, mais chambers n'est pas plus rapide que lemaitre au départ ça devrait vous faire réfléchir !
laissez christophe faire sa saison avant de vous en prendre bêtement à son entraineur, après vous pourrez juger !
mon dieu christophe ne court pas en 9,80 à 21 ans, quel drame ! faites preuve de plus de maturité !

i disagree
like you said, bolt is similar to lemaitre, both are tall and whithout weight training they would both be skinny
but bolt has a LOT of muscle for his frame, he is not blocky but he is very muscular
i think that he has as much muscle as maurice greene had, but he is taller and has longer arms and legs so it's less obvious
yes, he will never look like a bodybuilder, but he needs to train to increase his muscle mass
he should look like trey hardee
honnetement je crois que personne ici n'est anti francais, ou en tout cas personne ne l'est ouvertement
quand je dis "typiquement francais" ce n'est pas par rapport à la caricature de francais que les américains peuvent avoir en tete, mais par rapport au manque d'importance donnée à la musculation par les sportifs francais
des francais comme marcel rouet avaient déjà remarqué ca dans les années 30, et ca ne s'est pas amélioré
etre sur de soi est pour moi une qualité
et pour moi, christophe n'est pas assez sur de lui
les américains ont plus cette attitude de confiance en soi en athletisme
une des differences entre noirs et blancs, c'est que les noirs sont en général beaucoup plus fins que les blancs
bolt EST bodybuildé, il consomme surement les memes produits que les body builders d'ailleurs
regarde l'américain trey hardee, decathlonien: il est blanc, longiligne, mais bodybuildé car les américains n'ont pas peur de faire de la musculation
lemaitre devrait avoir un physique similaire à trey hardee
yohan blake est aussi jeune (mais il se dope ceci dit)
si il se trouve trop jeune, il ne devrait pas aller aux JO
chambers n'est plus numéro 1 mondial, mais il l'a été
le truc ce n'est pas d'etre plus musclé que tes concurrents, mais c'est d'atteindre le meilleur développement physique, ou tu feras les meilleurs temps
lemaitre est tres loin de ce top physique, meme en ne le comparant pas aux autres sprinters, il est tres loin d'avoir atteint un developpement optimal de son corps
il est meilleur que lui au 60m non?
et surtout, le plus important, chambers est surement meilleur avec des muscles que s'il n'en avait pas
de meme, lemaitre serait meilleur avec plus de muscles
ce n'est pas parcequ'il bat quelqu'un de plus musclé que lui qu'il doit éviter d'avoir des muscles
ceci dit, il faut parler en anglais ici, alors fais un effort pour le faire
moi non plus l'anglais n'est pas ma langue mais il faut se forcer

certains ici ne sont pas là pour parler du fond et c'est bien domage, entre les procès d'intention envers pierre carraz, les accusations de dopage sans preuve, les théories sur les entraineurs français, comme si christine arron n'était pas musclé, les stephane cali, ou autre ladji doucoure !
les entraineurs français n'y connaisse rien, c'est bien connu, ils ont juste entrainé les ladji doucuré, christine arron, marie josé perec, stephane diagana, medhi baala, et tellement d'autre !
sur la musculation, tu crois que ronald pognon était musclé ? ça ne l'a pas empêché de faire 6,45, c'est un chrono qui lui permettrait aujourd'hui d'être juste champion du monde du 60M excusez du peu ! tu crois que kim collins, spécialiste du 60M est très musclé !
tout ça n'a aucun sens !
christophe n'a pas encore les bases d'un corps d'un sprinteur, il manque de muscle c'est très clair mais il a franchit une grosse marche cette année, mais il ne sera jamais bodybuildé !
les 3/4 des posts de ces 15 dernières jours seront bon à mettre à la poubelle dans quelques jours quand christophe aura fait son premier chrono de la saison sous les 10 et il n' y aura rien de surprenant car ce que vous dites repose sur rien de concrêt comme je l'ais dis ce sont juste des procès d'intention, des théories nauséabonde et beaucoup d'amateurisme de certains qui connaissent pas grand chose du sport de haut niveau !
chacun peut avoir un avis, une perception, mais beaucoup AFFIRME des choses qui sont juste puérile et sans fondement, c'est quand même domage pour ce forum !
et ce n'est pas en disant "si il se trouve trop jeune, il ne devrait pas aller au JO", c'est pas avec ce genre de propos que tu fait monter le niveau !
christophe va au JO pour gagner une médaille, il courra probablement plus vite que l'année dernière, mais il lui faudra encore 2 ans pour concurencer yohan blake, il aura alors 24 ans, il sera un vieillard apparement pour certains !
je vois christophe courir cette saison en dessous de 9.85 et en dessous de 19.65 !
il a des chances de médailles sur 200M, sur 100M je pense que la médaille se jouera autour de 9.80, peut être en dessous !
j'essaie d'écrire en anglais d'habitude, mais je vais quand même pas m'exprimer en anglais avec un français, il ne faut pas déconner !

frederick i disagree with you again.
Maurice Greene had a body very different to Bolt.
Greene called too "Cannon ball" was super strong, very muscleman sprinter.
He was around 175 cms and 82 kgs, the difference is big.
The optimum weight for Bolt usually is around 90 kgs or few more for 194 cms.
The weights,muscles and styles of bodies dont lie.
Bolt has good muscles, but Greene had big muscles for his size, sorry but the comparation is stupid between Bolt and Greene heeh :icon_wink:

frederick if you think ok, is your opinion, but i think different.
A giant of 1.94 with "only" 90-92 kgs, although he has good muscles, for me never will be a bodybuilder hehe.
Linford Christie had a body style bodybuilder really, perhaps you should see him hehe.
And Linford was very tall 188 cms,almost like Lemaitre

You can't compare him to Bolt we know he is drug fueled. You have to compare him to an athlete that is possibly clean. While I agree he needs to lift heavier. It's too late now this season is what it is and team Lemaitre has to let the chips fall where they may because if he were to start heavy training with weights he will get injured as clean athletes training threshold isn't the same as dirty ones. Ps any experienced weightlifter starts light before he trains to his max threshold so if you see him doing "girl" weights it could be a warm up to get the blood flowing.here is a video of lemaitre training:
[video=youtube_share;E8dhxWbw5a0]http://youtu.be/E8dhxWbw5a0[/video]
weight training at 1.14, and 3.41
you can see that he doesn't train very heavy
but even worse is what his coach said about his lack of muscle mass: he said in the video that they don't have to do what every other sprinters do (a lot of weight training) and that lemaitre will never be very muscular like the american sprinters
i hate when he says things like that
other quotes by his coach about musculation:

"yes, he will have a little bit more training sessions

yes ofcourse
his max feats in weigh lifting:
100kg for squats (220 lbs)
45 kg for snatch (99 lbs)
he says that he sucks at weight lifting, and also at aerobic training

For Christophe to make progress in his first 40-50 meters (thats his main problem) he needs to get stronger. period. Those numbers are horrendous for a world class sprinter. Its a fact that the 1st 40 meters or so is relied upon mostly power. Christophe is lacking that power because his coach believes that weights are not as important?????
Christophe should be squatting at least double his body weight and his snatch should be at least his bodyweight with 50-75 pounds additional. This is very achievable if he had a coach to motivate him. Waiting for your answer RCSMAN

Really a wind 2.0 is around 0.10 better that wind 0.0
People should to find information before to talk about it.
You're saying I haven't seen what I have seen.
If a 2.0 wind blows directly at your back for the entire race, that would speed you up by 0.1. That almost never happens in real life. The wind usually blows at angles or in gusts. A tailwind measured at 2.0 usually improves the time by about 0.06. I've seen it.
Please try to be kind.

That Simulator is assuming a perfectly strait wind giving equal support or resistance for the entire race. That rarely happens in a real race. If you've ever sprinted, or even if you've only been following sprinting you should have observed this.
