Separate names with a comma.
Seems I owe you an apology. I actually thought you were being overly dramatic, but then today a black man won gold in the javelin for the first...
I'm with you on the fact that promoting white sprinters and achievements shouldn't be done at the expense of other races, it isn't and shouldn't...
Interesting read. I have to admit when I saw Lemaitre in the semi final I knew he wouldn't have much chance. I've never seen Lemaitre level with...
Harold, I may be reading too much into your posts, but you seem quite cross about something? Did you see the short film before the 200m on the...
Sorry Francois, I didn't make that very clear. Jonathan Edwards and Colin Jackson were talking about Christophe Lemaitre being the first white man...
Actually I have just remembered that there was a discussion of it on the BBC at the Paris Diamond league about a week after Lemaitre broke 10s....
I disagree, the UK papers didn't barely mention him, bar one - The Daily Mail - and that was a small story. But they did mention him being the...
I agree about Lewis Francis (too fast too soon and it went to his head) and somewhat about Pickering. I've been saying for some time that...
I know what jacknyc is saying, and a year ago I may have agreed with him, but after seeing that interview last year where he was complaining about...
Was a little surprised by Pickering's form in that race, especially considering his awful start and also by the interview afterwards. He was quite...
Shamefully, it was the British team that complained and had them disqualified, very unsportsmanlike and not very British at all. Perhaps this...
She won in Beijing too, with a slightly slower time. Don't be too sure, he's been commentating for the BBC, and was saying that he thinks...
Thank god Semenya didn't do something similar.
Me too and won't believe otherwise until she has kids. Semenya certainly isn't the first attempt to get a man into the women's events, nor will it...
To be fair Wells didn't start sprinting until he was 24/5, so who knows how fast he would have run had he started earlier and been running at 19...
Not sure if you can view it, I think they may block non UK residents from watching but here is the link:...
Lots of Nigerians have reached the final, Ezinwa, Adeniken, Effiong and Obikwelu. That said though, no one for a while. You'd think that...
Agreed. The Olympics was meant to be a meeting of all colours and creeds from around the world to compete to see who was the best. Today, at least...
Told you. Both of them are now out, and neither were very impressive. Sorry about Lemaitre's 200m. The commentator mentioned when he was...
Why was he disqualified? I saw the race but didn't hear about his disqualification. Greene looked good, I was very surprised and I think he was too.
I've always thought that Sanders was better than Ohuruogu, but she just seems to get injured a lot and is rarely fully fit, hopefully this will be...
You don't find it the least bit suspicious that four of the top five sprinters in the world are from the same small region of the world and that...
You could say the same about Edgar, he's only run one sub 10.1 this season too. In fact he's only run sub 10.17 three times this season (only...
I thought that Rodgers may have done that on purpose too, part of the reason why I don't like the rule, a confident athlete can purposely make a...
Not what I meant at all. Darts, snooker and archery and golf require similar skills, notably hand eye co-ordination. I could also include squash...
