Forgotten White Athletes?

[white is right]

I had the pleasure of being there that day.
Light rain and a blustery wind (the track is very close to the coast) which gave us that +4.2 wind in the final. What a shame because 20 year old Tim really looked our first sub 10 possibility here in 1989. Beautiful sprinter!
They had him kicking that leg out in front a la FloJo before grounding to claw back more powerfully but in the end his knees starting getting hurt. His legal best never passed 10.26 in Tonsberg although he was a great 2nd leg runner in our then world number 8 ever (time 38.17) 4x100 team in 1995.

Maybe because he disappeared similar to Kaiser Sose I had never heard of him as I recall all of the various world class male Australian sprinters from the Moscow Olympics to this season.

Since the sport is only a semi pro sport for all but the elite super stars the sport will lose competitors due to economics from first world countries much easier than countries in Africa...

Great jump by Kravets. I believe she was also a long jumper...?
Jonathan Edwards also set a WR in the triple jump at the 1995 WC in Gothenburg.
Unfortunately don't see too many white women triple jumping these days.

yes, and he was still reaching nearly 18m up to 2003. An incredible jumper
