he ran 12.95 with a 2.0 legal wind which ties him for 8th best performer of all time. no one was even near him as he won by .43 seconds. carol lewis did a nice job of downplaying the performance calling it a "good time". the only people who have run faster are considered among the greatest of all time in the 110h. |

Felix was 10.93 in women's 100. 3 or 4 under 1:45 in 800m. |

I'm not criticizing Oliver since it's obvious his performance was great, but I wonder why so many people run great times at this meet. Isn't this where Gatlin ran 9.77? Is the track super hard? |

Umm 0.226 is pretty normal I thought. Considering anything under 0.100 s is considered illegal... |

no, .226 isnt that fast in a straightaway sprint race. in a 200/400 that wouldnt be that bad i suppose, but not in a 110h/100 race. |

Reaction of 0.16 is pretty much middle of the road. The bulk are between 0.13 and 0.19. |

likely a state-of-the-art track present ( but they have iaaf limits to contend with ) however, it may have something to do with the weather - hot conditions favorable for sprinting & ?stadium configuration somehow tends to give a lotta nice following winds just around 2m/s value ( some nice winds for sprints jumps here : http://www.qatarathletic.com/organisation/news-139.htm ) |

Wasn't Wariner supposed to be in the 200? He's not in the results |

i think wariner has a bit of fear racing merritt over 200 meters. merritt has a much better pr (19.98 vs 20.19) and has already popped a good 400 this year as well. hopefully this doesn't turn into them ducking each other like we have seen with so many other top athletes. basically i think wariner got scared and pulled out of the meet. it has to be a huge boost to merritt's confidence, he ran a good time and destroyed the field. |

hot and humid air has the least density and is the best for sprinting |

how is humid air less dense than dry air? |
