Montgomery too sore to run

"He's not physically ready to run," said his manager Charles Wells.

Not ready to run 100 meters? Is it too much of a drain on his body? Would he rather do a shorter distance?

Wonder if he'll do the relay.

how can he run a leg of the 4x100 relay if he can't run 100m in a straight line without a baton?

he'd let the team down. his days are over.

Tim's soreness is yet another example of the American system of training gone awry. Too many "knee-grabber" intervals when he should have been up in Flagstaff logging the miles. By the time he moves up to the marathon, he will be spent.

Move up to the marathon? If Webb can't run a marathon, then there's no hope for Tim.

Just another spoiled American athlete.....gets paid big money finally and all of a sudden gets sore hammies like Barry Bonds and wants the day off!

I know that they're very few sprinters on the board but just because someone doesnt run over 1500 meters doesnt mean the event isnt taxing. SPrints are a little more taxing in that form actually in that you are sore longer and I doubt he's been able to keep up his training schedule with the press demands of breaking the record. LEave him alone, he did what he was supposed to.

not his event, do you also go by Runnerbabe from time to time? Just wondering?

I agree with the first thread, that Tim wants to end

the season on the highest note possible. I have meet and

trained with over 15 world-class sprinters and I have never

heard of someone dropping out a meet this far in advance because of soreness. Today's trainers and massage experts

could have a person completely over soreness in one day-two

days tops! The time frame for most sprinters to hold their

true PEAK is longer than 7 days, so I don't see why Tim won't run (soreness isn't the reason). And if he wants to

end the season with a WR then say that instead of soreness!

Here is the question: If Montgomery loses to Chambers in the World Cup will he lose the number one ranking for the year to Chambers?

If he doesn't race at at I believe he will be guaranteed the number one ranking based on head to head competion, faster time and winning the Grand Prix.

Vipam?

if anyone reads Sports Illustrated, the latest issue dedicated 2(!!) whole pages to Montgomery.

Based on their competitions Chambers had a slight lead

over Tim; however, after Tim's WR at the GP Finals it

truly is a dead heat (T&FNews rules say competition,

meet, times are important in that order). If Chambers

win and post a sub 10, watch he will win T&FNews 100m #1 spot.

Nope. Not at all. I'm a dude, not a babe.

He should Gallo-sprint it.

Head to Head is important also and I'm not sure where this stands right now.
