P.B: 10.14 in the 100m, 20.10 in the 200m. News to me is that he ran a slightly windaided 19.94!

Sheesh--what was the point of posting an incredibly depressing article from 1997? Were you just trying to ruin everyone's morning? That was a feel-bad article from 13 years ago, for crying out loud!

I remember seeing that wind aided 19.94 on TV. He did it with such ease, even pulled up a little bit at the end. I also saw his indoor 20.40. That guy was really great.

He was one of my idols when I was younger. Just built to run. He also trained as hard as just about any sprinter you will ever see. Similar to Allan Wells with then tenacity of his training. I wonder if he had any kids and if so, are they into track?

thanks for that!
I had read this article and forgotten all about it. It's where I read about Kevin Little and black athletes start having doubts about supremacy over this white guy.
Yes, he was a top sprinter indeed. I saw him just miss a 200m medal at the Sydney Olympics but he was right in the mix
