Lachlan Kennedy 6.43, 9.85 and 20.12

I'm hoping he beats a few. I'd be pleasantly surprised at anything better. I'm trying to be realisitic as these guys all train specifically for 200m

Yes, what I expected. A great bend and 1st x100 (but hard to slingshot into the straight from lane 1) and hanging on bravely for 6th as he lost maybe 4 metres in the last 80m for a moderate 20.41.
Winner only ran 19.96 , no-one else under 20.

I just watched it. If it would have been the 120 meter dash, he would have won. After that he just ran out of juice. I hope he keeps running 200s for his speed endurance, but he truly is a pure, 100 meter sprinter.

Yes he is - and a 60m man. Very different to Christophe who managed some decent 100 times despite himself.
I hope he hasn't lost that tiny bit of sharpness now for the relays tomorrow.
Another 5 am start for me
 
9.85 would've won gold in the 2000 Olympic final.

With Lachlan being 22, Blaskowski 23, and Kalen 24, you'd have to think one of them will take Bingtian Su's crown as the fastest non-black 100m runner.

I doubt Kalen Walker is ever consistant. Hope I'm wrong but he has battled injuries & is inconsistant.

Sam Blaskowski has to run sub 10's on a regular basis but it's his first year as a pro so he should continue to improve!

Lachlan Kennedy is by far the best pure 100 meter white sprinter that the world has ever seen. He will go in the high 9.70's and he
could do it this summer if he runs 2 more meets. If not next year you & you can book it. Now to get to 9.60's would take 3 to 5 years and
if it's possible everything would have to go right for him. Do not doubt what this guy is capable of? My money in Vegas would be
on Lachie to continue to do things that we've never seen before!
 
Lachies own words shortly after the race.

Moments later, Lachie Kennedy took silver in the men’s 100m, just a nose behind Cameroon’s winner, Emmanuel Eseme. “That definitely wasn’t a perfect race. I know I’ve got so much more in the tank,” Kennedy told Channel Seven, still panting from his effort. “But I mean, for now I’m going to celebrate. For now I’m going to be happy.”

Lachlan Kennedy's Stride Ratio in the 100 meter finals of the Commonwealth Games was faster than any sprinter on earth in the 2024
Olympic Games! So if I was his coach I would try to increase his stride length slightly while keeping the same super fast cadence!
