Konstantin Krylov 10.14 & 20.42

Fireworks this summer if all goes right. Let's hope for some new personal best times!

It was recorded in the track results thread about Konstantin Krylov opening up his season with a 10.16 +2.1 wind over the 100 meters. It's a shame it was a hair over the allowable limit or he would have just about tied his p.b. of 10.15 in his first race. Krylov skipped the whole indoor season so he has to get his legs back under him and get his fitness back. I can see him going sub 10.10 this summer but hoping for a sub 10.05! He is only 21 years of age so time is on his side. Just wish the war would end & the Russian Athletes can compete around the world again. Konstantin Krylov is missing out on experience racing in different countries and against other competitors than just his teammates.

Here is to him making himself more known around the world in the next 4 to 8 years. I also want him to be the first Russian to go Sub 10! They have a few good up & coming young guys and Krylov can lead by example. Good luck to him this summer!
 
Konstantin Krylov runs a new personal best of 10.14 +0.3 in the RAIN! This is a great time for only his 2nd race of the year and he proves he doesn't need wind to run fast. He did this all on his own. I expect him to go sub 10.10 and he may go sub 10.05 this summer with good conditions. The great news is that he just turned 21 years of age in March.

Krylov only gets to run against Russians. Imagine how much this has set him back? Then the very cold weather & short track season in Russia. He could have already went sub 10 if things were different. I feel so bad for all the russian men & women track athletes.

BIG THINGS TO COME FROM THE NEXT VALERIY BORZOV!

very good time given the conditions. Can't he run anywhere as a neutral athlete?

No sadly between the IAAF Council and Russia he is not allowed to leave home soil. What a waste of elite talent. It's not like Russia has had
many elite sprinters since the Soviet Union Days. The only descent one I can remember was Andrey Yepishin. He was not as good as Krylov.
 
I think sprinting is more or less a sport that Russia doesn’t care a lot about in current times. This year for example they only have 6 guys that have run a 10.5 or better. Heck, they only have 28 guys so far this year that have run under 11. That’s a participation issue, not a talent or genetics issue. It would be nice to see Krylov break the 19 year national record held by Yepishin and I’m sure he can do it.
