Bernard Lagat becomes the first person to win 1500m and 3000m at the previous World Championship, wins unprecedented 8th Wanamaker Mile, Bernard destroys field to win his 2nd 3000m World title, Tyson Gay destroys the 200m straight WR this year, Chaunte Howard breaks the American Record twice this year etc and NONE OF THEM ever got such exclusive coverage as Christophe Lemaitre. So what a white guy finally breaks 10.00- there are hundred of athletes who have achieved that same feat.
Hey great job Christophe you would have barely beaten HSR Jeff Demps with his personal best- WTG! Bernard Lagat, Tyson Gay, and Chaunte Howard all do something no have ever done and they get SIGNIFICANTLY less coverage than a slow (by elite 100m athletes) white man. How many American will run under 10 seconds this year and none will get such coverage- go ahead and say Lemaitre was the first WHITE man to go sub 10 secs- WHO CARES ITS MEDICORE by world class standards. Bernard Lagat, Tyson Gay, and Chaunte Howard all achieved first this year by an American. Letsrun should be ashamed!
