Any thoughts on the Blake video from today? Strange to see him in a weight vest since that's so anathema around here. Did he seem a little sluggish (of course during the weights, but even during the strides it seemed to me) or was this just an easy early-season session?
these fast juniors NOTHING WITHOUT IGF-1 LR3
...igf-1 lr3 the most important peptide in sport since epo...
DEDRIC DUKES 19.97 into a headwind!!!!!!!! (-0.6) GO GATORSSSSSS
According to Costas Gualas' twitter, Simon Makagwe has run 9.98 for the 100m (no wind reading given yet) in Pretoria (about 1300m altitude) potentially becoming the first south African to break 10
One that's more than a little shocking....
Tyson Gay's little girl Trinity runs 13.13. She's SEVEN.
Don't know the conditions of the race (appears to be FAT, though) or whether she's even old enough for USATF Youth, but that time is waaaaay under the record for 8 and under.
If she keeps that up, Flojo's "untouchable" records may meet their match.
Wow...that's really all I can say. That is just a mind boggling time for her. She could be great (the best?) if that keeps up. And hopefully her father's experience will serve as a cautionary tale.
and Simon's time is wind legal! At altitude but wind legal!
Deon Lendore opens his outdoor season with a 44.90 400m WL

2nd Lucas Jakubczyk 10.07
3rd Richard Kilty 10.12

Thanks for keeping the thread update Flo'da boy.
Doha 200m

Slow winning time, 20.13, but into a headwind. Weir was second in 20.31. Hard to gauge anything from this race, though more experienced eyes please comment!
Doha 400m

Pretty dominant win for Merrit, tying the WL. Santos was back in fifth, still sub 45 (Tony McQuay right ahead of him).
Also a side note, for anyone on twitter, follow Costas Goulas

. I get a lot of results from his feed as he seems to be on top of a lot of events that we don't seem to get til after the fact (it isn't me, just giving a shout out!)
Tokyo Golden Grand Prix

Trayvon Brommell ran 10.09 tonight (+.1 tailwind I believe) will race finals tomorrow.
Merritt betters his own world lead with a 44.14 in Puerto Rico.
Yohan Blake returns with a 14.76 150m at the Manchester City Games.
Yoshihide Kiryu ran 10.05 (-1.6) in Kanto regional finals
As the NCAA Regionals wind up towards the final tomorrow I thought it would be appropriate to post Trayvon Bromell's wind-aided 9.79.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJQV_WsG93g
Thus far, Bromell has run 10.18 in both the prelims and the semis of the West (the prelims with a tailwind and the semis with a headwind). Leading through the semis is John Teeters (who ran a 9.91 in the 9.79 race) of OSU. The East is lead by Dentarius Locke with a wind aided 10.03.
Regional finals should be exciting
I'm at the West Regional--leaving the SC (yawn).
Teeters ran 10.14 and 10.11w. The 10.11 was with 2.7, so I believe he is still tied with Kevin Little for the fastest ever 100m by a USA caucasian (10.14, which Teeters ran at Mt. Sac and matched in the prelims here).
Teeters looked really bad in the 200 semis and did not qualify. I hope he's not injured. If he can stay healthy for the next 2 seasons, I don't think whether he can run sub-10 is the issue: It's just a matter of when.
10.07 (+0.7) for Gemili in his first 100m outing of he year!
Looks like a sub 10 is immanent. Probably my favorite sprinter active now, good for him
And yeah Teeters ran pretty slow. I read an interview with him and he seemed to indicate that his start is his strength and his speed endurance is lacking so maybe he was just worn out from theb100m.
Pretty slow doesn't quite cover it. He ran 21.62 in the 200 semi. That WAS after (2) 100s and (1) 200 in 2 days, but much slower than that and I might have been able to beat him.
Apparently Richard Thompson went 9.74 (I think wind legal?) in Clermont today??? What????
Clermont continues to baffle me. Need to go by there next time in the area
I can only confirm that there was a meet at Clermont today--on the website for the National Training Center. I don't see any results, and I have serious doubts as to whether the results there can be taken seriously. Richard Thompson ran 10.10 4 weeks ago--and he has not run any sub-10 in 2 years--which should tell you something about any 9.74 if run today.
Trayvon Bromell!! World Junior Record 9.97 (+1.8)
Here's a bad video (the only one I found so far):

It was great to watch. When 9.99 came up immediately after he crossed the line I was so hoping it wouldn't be rounded up to 10.00!
