Right now, 3 of the top 5 fastest women in the world are white women -

2/ Dafne Schippers 10.83
4/ Jenna Prandini 10.95
5/ Hannah Cunliffe 10.99

This is unprecedented!
You mean "American" white women. The old communist block days had plenty of white East Germans, Russians, Eastern Europeans, and here and there a Western European. Sure the commies were dirty but it didn't take long for American negresses starting with Evelyn Ashford to start juicing and catching up to them. As soon as the sport started morphing into shamateurism and then legal professionalism; the free market democracies started producing athletes who now were incentivized and could afford to PED. The white and black women were quite competitive in those days and both were cheating. Today the compulsory communist state athletic machines are gone (save China with their less athletic DNA ) and fewer white women are inclined, like the low I.Q. Negress, to enter that career when they have so many other more productive pursuits. We forget that even though many white athletes are discouraged from pursuing certain athletic disciplines, more often than not it's their own decision making that leads them away to prepare for time consuming careers that require intelligence. The lowly Negros horizons are limited so they naturally aspire to pick low hanging fruit in the form of a hop, skip, and a jump.

Ramil Guliyev opened up his outdoor season running a 10.19 over 100 meters. Good base to build off.

Dafne Schippers won again over 200 running right around a 22 seconds flat! Amazing sprinter.

She ran that 200 on a wet track into a headwind and beat 2nd place by 1 full second! She will run 21.5 at Rio
If her start could be better, she can double, but the 100 will be tough for her.

Good start for Ramil

Fillipo Tortu of Italy, who caught our attention as a 16 yr old, just ran a 10.24 100m twice (heat and final) as a 17 year old!
That's blazing for someone who is still in high school!!!
He might be the fastest sprinter in Italy at this moment.
I think there's more to come.

Just to say guys ...that on the bbc commentary there is a guy called Steve cram ....an ex miler who basically is a p.c . Prigg.....an individual who buys into the status quo ....but in modern terms has no real interpretation ....ie he is a Pawn of the bbc ....and is at time immensely disrespectful to white athletes .( German French and Eastern European ) ...why I don't know ......interestingly Seb Coe keeps his distance ........I think it's important for members to understand that many white commentators have some serious issues with white athletes ....why ...who knows ......but this fool , even for an ex pro seems not to understand the nuances of performance related to travel ...etc ....believe me the bbc is not the guiding light as many Brits believe it to be .....

It doesn't look like Teeters is going to run sub-10 this year.
He finished 6th in the NCAA West Regionals in 10.26.
His times this year - indoors and out - haven't been as good as last year.
Can only hope that he can turn things around in the next few weeks.

An Olympic year and none of our guys are running well.
Gemili, Lemaitre, Teeters, Guliyev, Reus all running about 10.18.
I don't think Kilty has a 100m time yet.

Iranian Hassan Taftian has run 10.25 for his opener in Ostrava earlier this year, looked very powerful through 60m, one to keep in eye on. Has run 6.56 also.

sounds like you and 'Third Place' Carraz already starting with the excuses for Lematire to fail...you are a sad sack of ****.
I agree, but not with the same amount of vitriol. It's going to be cold and rainy for everybody, not just isolated to whatever lane Lemaitre happens to be in. That said, he should be able to win this race, not struggle to finish top 3. Suggesting that finishing in the top 3 is going to be a struggle is damning evidence indeed.

RCSMAN stated in the Lemaitre thread, that he may have a hard time cracking the top 3.

That's what my post was alluding to. I kind of take the middle road in your feud with RCSMAN. I agree with you that Christophe should have done much more over the years than he has, but I don't think that all of the blame should be heaped on Carraz. As other posters have opined, Lemaitre has at least an equal share. Still, I will still root hard for him to at least reach some of his potential.

I used to actually like Torrie Bowie as a sprinter even though she is competition to Schippers, yet after seeing how she dissed Schippers in the 100m at the finish line and did her best to avoid the after race hug or congrats in the latest 200m I will no longer support her as she is an obvious white hater/racist! The reason why I followed her in the first place is she is most likely the only female 100/200m American sprinter who completes clean. I find it interesting how most of the black female sprinters avoid Prandini after races as well. I am looking forward to seeing how many Jammies lose their medals after the 32 samples were tagged recently. I wonder if Bolt will finally be outed?

Sorry, just not true. There was a double arm embrace within moments of crossing the line on EACH occasion. I watched it happen.
Sure it was brief but they weren't there to have a girl's night out.
I remeber that jerk Daniel Bailey totalling ignoring Martin Keller's offer of a handshake in Germany a few years ago so I do notice these things. That was not the case here at all, either in the 100 earlier in May nor the recent 200

I think if you watch the replay of the 100m carefully at the finish line you will definitely see Bowie look at Schippers directly and call her "bitch" in anyones book that is such ungraceful/tasteless behavior from a professional athlete. In all my years involved in track & field as a coach and a athlete I have not seen this behavior from female adult athletes.


take it or leave it....
