Very good race for Lemaitre 10.04
10.04 -0.1 is around 10.03 basic time(0 meters sea level, 0 m/s wind)
The last year in Rome he made 10.00 +0.6 , 10.03 basic time.

So more or less same he got same now, so great for Lemaitre.

By the other hand, really anybody is so super optimistic thinking that Lemaitre can to get 9.85 this year?Sorry, but 99.99% no.

His best time is 9.92 but with 2.0 wind, his best times after are 9.95 +1.0 with medium wind.

His final meters hardly wil can to improve so much, and his first 30 meters are same that last year.
If he get around 9.90 this year, we should to be very very happy.

To improve is a lot of harder that most people here can to think....


YOU WRONG !!!

Many people here said that declined christophe, now you see it was wrong, now you say to us that he cannot run 9,85, I think of the opposite!
Christophe has ran exactly the same race that the last year, he made the same start, but the last year christophe considered that it was a good start but this year he considers that it is a very bad start, the difference of christophe's appreciation is due in very good start which he makes during the training, his start in the training are better that those during the competition!
Christophe is worth 5.65 during the first one 50M and can run 4.23 on the second 50M!
Christophe has simply to run during the competition as he runs during the training !
Christophe can run this year in 9.88 (basic time) and thus christophe can run within 9.85 this year!
Christophe will run on June 16-17th for french championships

Well if he got the same juice that Bolt got from 21y.o to 22y.o then to improve is a lot easier that most people here can think.
Give him a Angel Hernadez(aka Angel"Memo"Heredia) like Bolt and .....voila !!!!

Here is a video where we can see the bad start of christophe !

it's amazing !

Wow, even thought this video is taken from way up in the stands, it really give us some perspective on just how poor Christophe's start and drive phase are.
It's even more amazing that he was able to come back on the field for 3rd place.
It's really a shame that the first part of his race is so weak.

RCSMAN, for me you are wrong, but ok you think that you want...
Lemaitre almost never ran sub10 basic time, only in semifinals barcelona 2010 ,that would be 9.99 basic.
Hardly Lemaitre will get sub 9.9 this year, sorry is my opinion.
In 200 i think that he will break his record.

Thanks by information, i hope that he has great french championship.

Keyser if you know a little the history of Bolt, you would not tell perhaps it.
Bolt won junior championship with 15 years, sub20 with only 17 years ok?doping?NO
He did not run 100 before, so when he ran seriously with his big talent, he made big times.

Lemaitre admire so much to Bolt and Bolt respect to Lemaitre, i dont understansd why somebody try to tell bad things about him.

Bolt's technique in his 100m&200m is simply superb . I would be the last person to not acknowledge his talent. The problem is his non linear progression and other things apparent in his physique that tell me otherwise ;)
No point to state that Angel Hernadez was first spotted in Jamaica in 2007 exactly the year that this non-linear progression miraculously appeared in Bolt's performance ....and not only his in this particular island ;)

With 10.04 (wind -0.1), Christophe is close to his best.
And what he said after the race let me feel that he should do better ("At the stage of heating, I was good, but on the runway, I had nothing."). I hope that he will run a 9.9x corrected time this year, which could lead him to less than 9.90 if he's lucky with the wind.

Last year, Christophe had the capacity to run faster, for example in Montreuil he has ran 10.01 (corrected time) but with a very bad track and a temperature of 14°c!
In 2011 Christophe could run between 9.95 and 9.97! (Corrected time)
This year in Rome, Christophe lost 0,10s because of his bad start !
This year Christophe can run the 1st 50M in 5.65s but in Rome he has ran between 5.75 and 5.77!

In 2012 for me christophe can run 9.88 (corrected time)
1st 50M: 5.65
2nd 50M: 4.23
5.65 + 4.23 = 9.88

He wont be better than Christophe. Christophe has much more natural speed - like Bolt. He just needs to work on that terrible start. Gemili will be good but he doesn't have that 'gazelle' like movement at top speed like you see with guys like Christophe, Asafa Powell and Usain.

Adam lives in the U.K so more of less with the same doping use as the U.S of A since the 1970s he will get some "help".
Dwain Chambers with the best BALCO could offer him could only get him up to 9.97 and that some 12 years ago ......
Judging from the videos he is no CL for sure .....

Adam Gemili is not white. He is of Moroccan Iranian descent.

Comparing him with Borzov or Lematire as the next white sprinter is very wrong.

Would you think Hicham El Guerrouj is white?

Izwal,the best race of Lemaitre is 10.06 -1.2 in semifinals Barcelona 2012.
It is 9.99 basic time, his only sub10 basic time by now.

I hope that although this year he does not break his record in 100m, perhaps he can break his basic time and add another sub10 basic time :icon_smile:

nobody said that Christophe will get sub 9.9 with 0 wind! we are betting for sub 9.9 with legal wind!
Christophe needs to do in race what he does in training; he said that he improved a lot with his start but not yet in race.. we'll have to wait, maybe in the european championship

Well i dont think that Lemaitre in short time can to get sub 9.9 basic time.
Sub 9.9 with big wind, around 2.0 m/s is possible although this year i have a lot of doubts.

Im sincere and realistic, if he get this year by example 9.95 basic time,i would be very happy, because he only got 1 sub10 basic time until now 9.99 in semifinals barcelona, all his times are 10.00 or more basic time.

And yes, his first 30m usually are horrible, but hardly he will can improve them so much...

I see him with future in 200m, 19.6-19.7 is near for him in these years

RCSMAN, i hope it.
But really i have a lot of doubts.
His body and his style of running is great for 200m but in 100m he has some problems for to be great.

His final is very good around 3.43-3.44 usually(3.42 in his 9.92 +2.0 wind), but hardly he will can to improve so much that part.
His first 30m are very slow,training hard perhaps he can to improve there 0.03-0.05, but not much more, perhaps if he get 5kgs more muscles(in my opinion for his height it is not much)he could to improve another 0.05 perhaps, but the transition is very slow, perhaps somebody here want that Lemaitre progress very fast, but i think that he will improve few to few, and this year i dont think that he can to break his 9.92 although i think that he could break his record 9.99 basic time.

i see "easier" that he can to break his 19.80 this year

Regards.

A white person is like Craig Pickering, Christophe Lemaitre, Borzov, Kenteris, Shivington, etc...

Caucasian is not a word I use ever. I am from the UK, not America. In the UK, we use the term "white" to describe white people and "black" to describe black people, etc... I will support Adam, no problems, but I can not call him white.

The good thing is that it is great Adam Gemili is he running fast, but he is not white. He is of Moroccan Iranian descent.

Morocco is located in North Africa.
