He was lucky that he was even found. From what I read his coach thought he had natural talent, but Olympic level talent wasn't readily apparent, even after a few months of training. Just from that you can tell that plenty of potential White athletes fall through the cracks.

As the last upgrade of this website crushed the 2011 BET table, we have not been able to check who "won" the bet contest on Christophe time.

So for those whose like to bet and play, here is the 2012 version: just quote and fill out the table

Ok here we go with my pics. I will predict a blistering time of 9.84 in the 100 and an eye popping 19.70 in the 200 meters. I would probably say faster in the 10 but he still hasn't put on enough upper body muscle and fixed his start to the point where he can consistantly explode out of the starting blocks. Just wait till the olympics in 2016. I predict he will be a favorite in the 100 by then.:smiley:

I think that next goal for Christophe to enter in athletics history is to beat european records. If he could run around 9.86 / 19.72 this year, that would be so great. I just hope that he will manage to break these records soon, and then begin next stage in his career.

The average so far is 9.86 / 19.68 so I will go with that - but I think it is optimistic for both to be achieved in one year.

Christophe pulls top ten ranking in Track & Field News, way to go Lemaitre!

in 2011

100m: 11th or 10 th without Mullings (caught)
200m: 4 th

so I think they could rank him better than 10 th (7th would be better with average)

T&FN here in the states have him ranked 5th in the 100m & 4th in the 200m.
