Two very good results in the 200 meters. Till Helmke of Germany ran a 20.37 over the weekend. Today in Greece, Paul Hession of Ireland finished 2nd in a nice time of 20.32!

The Germans have had a few prospects over the years but aside from Unger they seem to get injuries and break down. I recall Gobel running 10.2X at about 19 and never getting faster and breaking down. Maybe it's because these guys are training clean and can't handle the hard work that roided competitors can....white lightning said:Thanks for the pic Vindicator. This kid has unbeliveable potential. I will throw Reus in
there with Pickering and LeBlanc. Anyone of these
19-20 year olds could go sub 10 within the next couple of years. This is what we need. Not just one great 100 or 200 meter sprinter but at least several. It will take time to prove to the naive public that whites are capable of being excellent sprinters. Again,I love the fact that Julian Reus also runs both the 100 & 200.This will help him down the road as he approaches a sub 10!

sprinters are faster, even though 40-50 years ago (with no drugs) that
wasn't the case at all. Its a leftist form of rewriting history because
nobody remembers it. I wouldn't know that whites and blacks competed
at an even level 40-50 years ago if it weren't for this site.
PitBull said:Wrong! Read your history. Jesse Owens as the 100m champion in 1936, for crying out loud! Blacks competed in track and field and the Olympics with
whites many years prior to the 1960's.
You act like the chemical revolution in sports never happened at all! The
significance of doping in sport, especially today, is HUGE! It has forever
changed sports, and in my opinion, completely for the worse.
Next you'll be telling me that the reason blacks couldn't hit over 60 home
runs a year before 1996-1997 was because of race discrimination! You're a
moron! You should delete yourself off the board before one of the
moderators does.
