I remember on a few lame stream boards idiots would argue that no White American was capable of doing this or a level better ie Lemaitre or Mennea or Wells. It was like they could apply any logic and see if Lemaitre could do this than there has to be a White American capable of doing this.Boling is a very special talent ......it seems Georgia is working out ....20.27 ...even the rascist boldon was impressed .......
Do you mean Larry Questad?

No Questad made the Olympic team in the 200M dash and came maybe 4th in the Olympic final with the gloved fist protest.
This guy had a last name of something like Punch, he was high school prodigy but gave up on track and field as it was just an amateur sport and he was too poor to hang around for 4 years and eat air. Many of the older athletes on Olympic teams from Western countries had either no show jobs that were sponsored by a local business or syndicate or were post graduate students or were in the armed forces.
Charlie Greene who won a bronze medal in 68' Olympics in the 100m dash was in the army, the gold medalist Hines had a truncated NFL career with the Dolphins and Chiefs.
This is why you never had many repeat champions prior to the professional era or even the (sh)amateur era in the mid 70's through the allowing of the amateur athletes to draw from a trust fund.
He's talent is huge I just hope like others suggested he isn't run into the ground by his track coach to win team titles, or he isn't developed for any event but is just an all around talent. He's the most talented White sprinter since the 100 m high school record holder from Indiana who was eliminated in the 100m semifinals for the 68' games in Mexico City.
I remember reading he quit track in 68' because he didn't want to do an Olympic cycle for free without any rainbow at the end of the Olympic cycle in 72'.
