[White Lightning]

Martin Lamy is another french sprinter to keep an eye on. He has the 2nd fastest 200 meters time in all of France at the moment. He is young and he has alot of potential. Here is a short article about him.

Welcome aboard, mate. You joined at a good time. Fastest time for white people in history. We've easily gone sub 44 and sub 20. Now it is time for 10, baby. Pepe LeFlew.....

Hopefully Pepe LeFlew(Christophe Lemaitre)will be the first of many white sprinters to go sub 10. It has been a mental block for years. Not a physical one. There is no magical barrier holding back white sprinters. They just need to have good genetics and train hard.

I will try and get a video of Lamy soon.

Welcome to the board my friend. Please feel free to join in the discussion. Start topics or just comment when ever you like. The best board on the internet i.m.o.

welcome aboard runnerfan50! I really belive we will see a sub 10 this year. call me crazy, but I'm really feeling it.

 

[runnerfan50]

sub 10 would deff b nice we really got a few guys tht have a chance and are young enough 2 stay on the world scale for a while. hopefully the next decade is dominated by white sprinters. so who are all the guys 2 watch i no the french have some bad asses and of course craig.

 

[White Lightning]

These are the guys with the most potential in my opinion at the moment. I will put their ages next to their name.


1 Christophe Lemaitre (19)
2 Ramil Guliyev (19)
3 Craig Pickering (23)
4 Christian Blum (22)
5 Robert Herring (19)

There are many others that I could list but those are my Fab Five! Everyone else has to prove alot more to me first. Even with this list, only the top 3 have a descent shot in the near future!Edited by: white lightning

Now if we could just move them all to Jamaica temporarily, they could sample some of the local "fare" and all decrease their 100M time by 3/10 of a second in a very short time.....just like that "clean" sprinter Usain Bolt

 

[runnerfan50]

;p lol usain bolt wish they would test him for drugs

For those of you who watched Christophe Lemaitre in his last 200 race, it was Lamy who finished 2nd in a new personal best time of 21.08! He is already around a half a second faster over 200 indoors than last season. Martin Lamy is on the right track and hopefully he will continue to progress. I will be keeping an eye on Lamy at the French Nat'l Champs in addition to Lemaitre and a few others.
