You guys are friggin relentless with the tactics to get page clicks. Please make an effort to be more transparent in your thread titles.
I am now a leading authority on Shingles meds thanks to all the ads I see on LRC.
surely that indicates sub 20 shape right now for 200m (14.9--5.76/9.14).
He needs to stay away from the 100m or seriously work on his start. He's letting a 37-year-old destroy him out of the blocks.
5.76 - 4.46 - 4.68.
Pretty sad times when the website owners/managers are trolling.
Collins destroys pretty much everybody out of the blocks. That's not a problem for Lemaitre, as Collins pays for it later in the race.
Having said that, Collins looked really good to 100m in this race, although it was hard to tell from the camera angle.
Lemaitre really can move, when he gets in gear--I will never forget that relay 2nd leg he ran--but it just takes him too long to figure it out.
The good news is that Chambers looked absolutely crap.
Good for Lemaitre, great for Collins, crap for Chambers--what more could a sprint fan ask for?
Nice to see that Lemaitre could be in decent 200m form this year. Weir might be right to worry about him in the 200m--he really got moving near the end of this 150m. However, Weir looks very strong this year.
Dumb thread lrc.
lemaitre and weir could care less about one another.
but true, they will likely be running the same times soon.
they want to get to 19.5 sec. and run with the big 3. end of story.

Not sure what you are trying to say here, but you aren't saying it. m/s seconds is not a unit of .... anything.
I read it again for the 10th time.
Did you mean 9.14 in a 1.0 m/s wind?
RUPP RUNS 12:36! (en route to his 5k time of 12:58)

Thats Kim Collins brah. He destroys lots of guys at the start.
He need to hit the weights hard. He is too scrawny for the 100m. You Ned raw power to be great at the first 10m.

COULDN'T CARE LESS
Not only is he grammatically incompetent, he's also ignorant, as Weir has explicitly stated that it's Lemaitre who he worries about.
BTW, this race was into a 1.0 headwind, and did not have a tailwind as suggested in the OP
Lemaitre has stated he plans on doubling this year right? (er tripling I guess with the 4x100)
Hopefully concentrating on two events will mean he won't come into the championships out of shape like last year
Also I just looked into Warren Weir's history because I realized I knew nothing about him
I had assumed he was a teenage phenom who popped out of nowhere. In a way he was but he's apparently older than Lemaitre. Weir ran the 110 hurdles primarily (13.65 as a junior) until relatively recently when he started to have knee problems. Also it seems Weir's PR for the 100m is only 10.5! Of course this was from 2008 when he was still primarily a hurdler so he'd destroy that now I assume. He's pretty scrawny too (not much bigger than Lemaitre from the looks of it).
Sorry if that's old news for everyone, I just put that out there for people who were clueless like me
How is Weir, or Lemaitre for that matter, so fast when their body types are not what we're used to seeing from sprinters. Is he the cleanest (no drugs) of the current crop?
