Yeah I need to put Richard Kilty on the list as well. He is only 22 years of age and will be in his prime for the next olympics in 2016. I too agree that he should do great at the Euro Champs if healthy. I can't believe I forgot to add him. Haha.

Guliyev, without a doubt, if he stays healthy and is able to train consistently. Andrew Robertson is my dark horse.

If we're willing to wait a few years, I'm most impressed by that 15-yr-old German kid, Simon Sch---- (can't recall the spelling of his last name, Schottze or something?). His indoor 200 times were unreal for his age, and he didn't look especially mature for his age either. Can you find any new results for him, WL? I think he's the German sprinter you've been waiting for.

I am sorry to say this but I am very disappointed with Guliyev. A couple of years ago I thought he would run under 10 and I'm still waiting. I think he lacks faith.

Hey guys. I think we should post a potential list for white sprinters with the possibility to go sub 10 this summer. While no one is looking too close at the moment, all of these guys are far from their peak condition. This list would also be for the perfect race in warm weather with a maximum amount of legal wind behind them. It will still be fun to have a list. Here is mine.

2012 Possible Sub 10 List by European Sprinters.

1 Ramil Guliyev

2 Jason Smyth

3 Rytis Sakalakus

4 Marek Niit.

5 Jared Connaughton

6 Adam Gemelli



Other than Guliyev, all of these guys have a long ways to go but I went ahead and posted the list anyways.

Gemili just moved himself up to #1!
