This kid is going to be good.He wishes that Yearwood was in the race because he said he would have still won and the time would have been alot faster.I like his attitude.He reminds me a little of Till Helmke of Germany who never has reached his potential.I hope that Reus can win the 200 as well.He is a fine all around sprinter and has the muscular build that he will need.Helmke was always on the skinny side.With Reus and Christian Blum,Germany is looking good for the future!Someone should post a pic of this kid winning the race.Congrats again to Julian Reus.

100m MEN FINAL
The shock disqualification of British favourite Leevan Yearwood for a false start didn't distract Julian Reus and he became the first German winner of the blue riband event for 26 years, winning in 10.38.
"I was really sad that Yearwood got disqualified. It was clear from the earlier rounds that the real battle for the gold medal was going to be between the two of us. Even though it made winning easier, any true athlete wants to test himself against the best opposition. I think I would have run faster if he had been in the race," said Reus.
Reus had a start that could only be described as mediocre but he used his power to quickly draw level with France's Yannick Lesourd and pulled away from him with 30 metres to go.
"No, my start wasn't so good but I was very focussed and very confident that I was going to win," added the stocky sprinter from the east German town of Hanau.
Lesourd got the silver medal in 10.53 with Italy's Giuseppe Aita, who had been completely unheralded before the start of the Championships, taking the bronze in 10.57.
czech_sc "I don't know what happened, I normally don't anticipate the gun," said the stunned and disappointed Yearwood, who remains Europe's fastest man with the 10.30 he ran last month.

Julian Reus is a guy to watch out for.He is built like Craig Pickering and has great speed endurance.Reus is only 19 years of age so he has amazing upside.I really wanted him to pull off the double but congrats to him anyway on a great performance.A gold and a silver medal is nothing to frown about.This kid should progess nicely.He needs to get Christian Blum in the weight room so he can lower his times.
A big congrats to Haley Jones.She looks like she is having a blast out there.Some people just look so happy when they are running.They make it look really easy.England is really bringing up alot of fine young sprinters as we head towards the 2012 London Olympics.

German won the 4 x 100 Gold Medal beating out England.Reus grabbed his third medal of the competition.He was the key in Germany winning.
In the 110 Hurdles,A.Noga won in a championship record time of 11.36!It is also the fastest time by any european all season.He will be one of the best in the world within a few more years.He was pushed by a Russian Kid who's name I forget at the moment.By the way,Noga was running on a severly hurt sprained ankle!

Hayley Jones, like Reus, also won 3 medals, helping Britain to the gold in the 4 x 100 relay and silver in the 4 x 400 relay.
She was the only female to win 3 medals at the championships.
Too bad we don't have a girl like that here in the States. I think that the press would love to see a cute girl like her winning races.

I don't know as much about sprinting as them, but I think this proves White Lightning and Callan's theories. Sure IMO, there are still probably a higher percentage of elite fast blacks in their respective populations. However, with such a large pool of whites in this country it is perplexing that we don't have more young whites in the elite in short track. It certainly seems like whites are quite competitive at the junior level internationally, probably b/c they don't have to face blacks who are having steroids pumped into them.
I am going to keep my eye on the talent at the junior level it seems like every year at this age level there are elite white sprinters. You can see even in the U.S that at the H.S level there are lots of white state 100 meter and 200 meter and hurdles champs. Problem is they often play football in college and become LBs or Safteys.Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins

As always, I ask "Why aren't there any high school or college women like her in the USA?"
One thing that always amuses me, having been a high school coach for decades, is that, if there are 4 black girls on a track team, they will be the 4 x 100m. relay team. It's amusing because i usually know that they are not the 4 fastest sprinters on the team. It's just the norm in this country that it's ASSUMED, no proof needed, that any black is faster than any white.
