Thanks man, love you too. BTW I'm not dead, yet.
oh plz, in 2011: "Collins will never be competitive in the 100m again. He isn't fast enough. His deficiency has nothing to do with speed endurance, joint angles or any of the blah blah blah that you wrote. He's too old, and was barely elite during his prime."
Even more classic than in 2011, or 2013. It's funny to look back to these old letsrun threads and see just how sprint-ignorant many of the posters here were. Understandably, as it's a distance site, but they all talked a big game.
May 29, 2016: Kim Collins, 9.93 (+1.9), Bottrop, Germany
PB at age 40.
And yes, he looked relaxed.
"Collins will never be competitive in the 100m again." ROTFLMAO. All the big names have gone already this year, and he sits in 2nd place, I think. Yes he will likely be well-beaten in Rio, but he's hardly "uncompetitive". He just won that race he was in, and destroyed some decent competition--Morris, Gemili, and Smellie--by a quarter of a second, and more.
But no, he will never be competitive again. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Impressive from Collins!
