You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Space Ghost Subject: RE: Flojo's 10.49 Body: Not to beat a dead horse, but I have to respond to the people whose memories are that the wind during that race were not extreme. I was there, too, and everyone around me had the same reaction: wind gauge malfunction. It was a hurricane. But you don't need to rely on memory to determine it was a wind-aided performance: There was also a second quarterfinal with a 0.0 reading. What are the odds of that? One in a gabillion? The third quarterfinal had a 5.x wind reading. Also: Every one of the 11 athletes who advanced from the two "0.0 wind" heats ran slower in the semis, when the gauge registered a POSITIVE (but legal) wind reading. By an average of 0.2 seconds. 6 of the top 10 US times of the year came from those two "0.0 wind" QUARTERFINAL heats? There is absolutely no way to explain all this without concluding a large wind assist in those two heats. Some numbers geek did a full analysis in Track Technique. He estimates a 5.x mps wind. http://people.brunel.ac.uk/~spstnpl/Publications/FlojoWR(Linthorne).pdf Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
