[trackster]

I second that request. For some reason, it seems that Google changes its search setup about once a week, making it harder to search for foreign language articles. Nowadays, I find it hard to find anything that's not in English.

We are only around 45 minutes away from possible history! Again one final time I wish good luck to the most exciting sprinter on the planet, Christophe Lemaitre. Even though we can't see it live, we are rooting you on and sending positive energy your way. Here is a link to the results as they happen.

i really appreciate you guys keeping us informed on Christophe's performances. this young man is an incredible talent. and just as awesome, in my mind, he seems like a really good guy.


finding a good man who is a sprinter seems to only happen when you find a White sprinter ... i wonder how off-target i am by concluding that.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Damn! I just checked Sopcast and Justintv and no live links!

I really hope this kid gets this monkey off his back today.

 

[SuperSpeed23]

Lets go christophe!!!

 

[white lightning]

That monkey is turning into a Gorilla the longer this goes. It is his time. PRIME TIME
for "The Master".
I have said a prayer for the kid.Let's just sit back and see what happens.

I didn't give him the nickname PepeLeFlew for nothing. He is the best. Good luck Christophe!

 

[albinosprint]

f**k YES!

White Lightning.

So many nicknames. Simply the most exciting sprinter on the planet! I will celebrate this day for the whole weekend. I wonder if he will still run in the 200? Could he go for the double crown as they planned? I don't care either way. I can't wait to see this race!

I hope someone gets a link very quickly.

Guys, remember this day for the rest of your lives. Now he can concentrate on bigger and better things. The weight of the world was on his shoulders but no more. HE HAS DONE IT!

Congrats Christophe. We are so proud of you!

 

[SprintFan]

It would be nice if we could see the race....first sub 10sec for white's

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

since the "real" white lightning just broke 10, "our" white lightning is going to party like never before! i wish i was there, man!
but don't forget to change the title of this thread before you go crazy in celebration.

 

[SuperSpeed23]

This is a day to remember.

 

[albinosprint]

and a new French Record! we need a video!

 

[Don Wassall]

Wow!!!!! Any chance of it being changed due to wind or any other factor? We need it to hold.

Fantastic, a great and historic day!

 

[Sub10.00]

!!!!!!! LEMAITRE. This is how i felt when Bolt ran the 9.58 last year. 9.98!<div>
</div><div>Sub 9.9 by the end of the year?</div>

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

Don,

if i read it correctly, the wind was +1.7 which is well within the legal limit.

woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was mistaken, the wind was only+1.3. that's even better!!!!!!!!!!!!

[white lightning]

There are not enough icons or emotioncons to express the happiness I feel. It is official Don and cannot be changed. The wind was legal by a mile. This kid can run a sub 10 with or without the wind.

I already changed the title Jimmy. Please excuse me if I get a little drunk today. You guys have no idea how long I've waited for this magical moment. I feel like I won the lottery. I'm so proud of this kid. I can only imagine the pride his parents must have because I love the kid like he is my son. He deserves this moment. Pepe has worked so hard.

Only two things can top this moment. One is a gold medal at the World Champs or Olympics someday. The second is for him to beat Bolt and break the world record. Remember guys that he barely turned 20. He should get alot faster. I'm also hoping they catch some more of the drug cheats and the world record isn't a riduculous 9.58! It reminds me of Flo Jo because it is chemically induced in my opinion.

Oh well. Anything is possible.

As they say in the James Bond Movie, "The Spy Who Loved Me"......Nobody does it better!

Another toast to "The Master".Edited by: white lightning

 

[whiteathlete33]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[freedom1]

A lot of articles keep coming up on Google in French that it's official.

The monkey is off his back and everyone else's. Open up the floodgates!! He'll be more relaxed and confident now. This will lead to even faster times before this season is out.
