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

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...

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...
