    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80! -- Part Two

    Interesting facts from this interview : http://www.leparisien.fr/sports/ma-plus-belle-emotion-27-08-2016-6072411.php - First he has a cold, so I expect a bad performance this evening, something in the high 10'1X and I won't be surprise if he ends last because there is only top guys with him...

    2016 Rio Olympics

    Carraz /Christophe bashing for years and then Christophe succeeded to get a medal. This kid will always amaze me. Congrats to him and also to Kevin Mayer who got the silver in the Decathlon.

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80! -- Part Two

    He has a problem with Carraz because he has decided that Lemaitre was a 19'6X / 9'6X sprinter so he gets stuck with his idea and bash Carraz because he own expectations are not reached. He projects his personal issue on Lemaitre. Now if you believe that Christophe has reached his full...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80! -- Part Two

    I cant believe you guys are still in the same pattern for years now bitching on Pierre Carraz, French way of training etc. Someone has even now the pic of Carraz as a profile picture, what a sarcam And RCSMAN trying to defend Pierre Carraz, please stop using capitals letters, franchement ne...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Obviously he is tired, do we have to remind that he is drug-free ? How can we expect always the best from someone who is natural ? He wants to do his best and then after the race, he just said how he felt. You can perfectly think you are in good shape and then be tired during the race...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    We all agree Lemaitre did not improve, and I admit he has regressed You even quoted me...anyway, don't want to start a fight with you.... Carraz has assistants to help him, he does'nt train Lemaitre alone. What if, What if the true, the sad true, but what if the prime of Christophe...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    In France we speak french so english is not our mother tongue so maybe you should calm down and understand that Rcsman used a wrong word to describe the same thing as you.... We all agree Lemaitre did not improve, and I admit he has regressed, but elitespeeder that talks about mediocrity, it's...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Caraz who was a hero 3 years ago is now the worst trainer on earth :) Christophe does not need to go to the Usa, he won't improve there, none of the french athlets that went there did better performance than when they were trained by a french coach. Not the same mentality at all.... He reached...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Line 8 is not that bad that is true, but a good line for Christophe is line 6, cause line 8 means you run without having someone to catch and we all know Christophe like that. I don't think he will have a career like Pickering or Shrivington, those guys were starters guys while Lemaitre is a...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    So let him prefer "mediocracy" and stop polluate this forum with your moanings. You too you are a man so act with respect like a real man. For others people that know track and field, Pierre Carraz made Christophe the athlet he is now, and if Chistophe wants to stay with him , it is his choice...

    It has been a while I haven't posted on this thread but seeing some post criticizing his coach makes me unconfortable. You guys, have to understand that Christophe likes his coach, his way of life and has fun in Aix les Bains where he lives. Some people say that if you change his diet, make...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Yes Mastermulti, he is a smart guy, he seems to be very mature. The main fact when he speaks, is he seems obsessed by the victory and the future. He just wants to win. He always target something. I like that spirit. Here are the guys : 1 : Churandy Martina 9'93 2 : Richard Thompson 9'89 3 ...

    Maybe you are right and Christophe is "only" 1m89. On this photo : http://www.european-athletics.org/athletes-of-the-year-and-rising-stars-for-2009-awarded-in-budapest.html He is 1 inch shorther than Idowu but this one is sometimes listed at 1m92 and sometimes 1m94, even 1m97.... Apparently...

    I think Christophe is taller than Asafa, look at these pictures : Asafa is really shorter than Usain. Bolt is 1m96. They say Christophe is 1m89 but I read that since 2007 ! Also check the picture behind Christophe during the interview in the 7 min show, he is almoat as tall as Usain...

    You are welcome, I guess it's very frustating to see a video of our hero and not understand everything. For the relation between the 3 languages (italian, spanish and french), yes it's because of the latin which is the ancestry of these tongues.

    Here is the translation of the 7 min video : Journalist : we are with Christophe Lemaitre, the 1st white under 10s. The Show presentation So here is Patrick Montel with Christophe the 1st white to break the barrier. It's something you will have for life, is it easy to have that on your...

    Of course he did not, the title says something like "Bolt has an eye on Lemaitre". No offence.

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    You know for him that race is a a pastry. I mean it's just fun, there is no titles to win, I mean he probably has the pressure but not like in a championship, if he starts well, 9'94-5 if not 10'0X. In the link I gave you he said that race is a practice before barcelona so even if it does not...

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    Maybe more than his sprint abilities, the spirit of Christophe is truly exceptionnal. I mean since his 10'04 last year, everybody in France expected him to go under 10 s. At each time he ran somewhere, all the journalists were there and wrote something like that : "Christophe Lemaitre is...

    Yes that Teddy's comment shows that black guys also thought it was not normal to see whites sub-10. But maybe in Europe it's like that and the mentality is different in the Usa. Edited by: The Master

    Christophe Lemaitre "White Lightning" 9.92 and 19.80!

    He said that : "Inevitably, I can not do anything about that, I'm the first white who did that. That's historic for me because my record has now 3 digits. I was focused on the title because it was the title the most important, and I knew the time would be good after. I was very focused and it...
