    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Of course high altitude is a big advantage. But that is not the point. The reason I reacted was because I´ve noticed how white all time great sprinters often are being belittled. Menneas fantastic results have been questioned before, but not Tommie Smiths. Nobody says that Smith made his...

    Brain malfunction. Hines and Leonard were the only ones before 1980

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Zellgadiss. That is such a typical remark about white a sprinter. Mennea ran on the same track as Jim Hines and Tommie Smith did in the olympics 1968. They also had good tailwind. Does that mean Hines didnt really ran 9,95? And that Tommie Smith didnt ran 19,83? And when we´re at it...

    2010 European Championships

    I just noticed the high 400 m standard. I missed the semifinals because of work. The numbers are really good. Its actually world championship level. Maybe Borlee will break Schönlebes european record of 44,33. That record I thought Wissman would take...

    Just another reminder. Borzov won his first european championship gold medal when he was 20. Chambers just gave Lemaitre credit in swedish television. He congratulated Lemaitre and said that he is a great talent.

    2010 European Championships

    -1,0 wind. But I think the lesser times must be due to the short time between semis and final. Think of this. Lemaitre is the first male Euro champ since Emmelmann in 1982

    You have to explain to me the expressions "Gangly" and "Goofy". Goofy I know from the Disney figure. Does that men like you are a little corny and lack some intelligence? (I wasnt born with the english or american slang).

    2010 European Championships

    A note to pump you guys up a little more. A commentator on swedish Television fronted Chambers as the favorite after the semis. Why? Because "Chambers beat Lemaitre so desicive in the european team championships. Yeah right... we all remember how Chambers "destroyed" Lemaitre with that huge...

    WL, Your favorite Verena Sailer looked really convincing in her heat. A clear victory with a good time into a strong headwind. She could wind this thing.

    Carolina Klüft had multible hamstring problem. I Think this is the first competion for a long long time where she dont feel pain. Actually she bettered her season best with 20 centimeters. This after a lot of people in Sweden said that she shouldnt even be here. Lets hope she is ok...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    I still think Lemaitre will do something like 9,92 in Barcelona. Then he will get some wider attention in Europe at least, and I will have renewed sport and race and drug-debates with a certain amount of people.

    I´ts all about motivation. A guy who have been to Kenya told me this: In Kenya there is one TV-set per 50 citizen. They do run much more then the average westerner i every day life. But the most important is that the succesful runner ar really rich in Kenya. They become financial...

    You are right on spot. Its not easy to motivate white europeans to train as hard as it takes. Its even more obvius in 5000 and 10000m. There is no depth in the statistics. A guy who hardly would reach top ten in the european championships in the 80s, or even to some extent in the 70s, would...
