Briana Rollins - As Fast As Eastern Block Dopers

Look at this list... all times from '86-92... and Briana Rollins just nailed the 4th fastest performance EVER, against all the Bulgarians and Russians of the nandrolone era... her rise to stardom has been meteoric.

Western bloc dope > Eastern bloc dope.

Let's see how smart you High Hurdle experts are.

What physical abnormality was world record holder Yordanka Donkova (Bulgaria) born with ?

When Ludmilla (Enquist)ran those low 12 second hurdle races she was Ludmilla Narozhilenko of Russia.

She later married Swede and became Enquist.

Later in her career she was robbed of a very large sum of cash while competing in England.

Donkova was born without fingers on one hand. Hence the twisted wrist on track at start of races.

dang thats fast real fast

she ahead of pearson on all time

didn't expect to see these times again

the old ones was doped anyhow

Smarter than you. Donkova was born with all 10 fingers, but had a bad accident when she was very young and lost TWO of her fingers.

And everyone knows about Narozhilenko's past.

What is the Low Hurdle history?

So should the WR really be going:

Devers 12.33 in 2000

Pearson 12.28 in 2011

Rollins 12.26 in 2013?

Rollins. Incredible lead leg.

No, the magic is in her trail leg.

I know the magic is usually in how the trailing leg operates, and hers is of course great--but it strikes me that her timing of her lead leg over the hurdle is perfect.

But I'm no hurdle expert, except that I think that Sally Pearson looked better technically. Rollins is crazy.

Really want to see a vid of this now!

Also, very interesting to see a clean WR progression.

Rollins vs. Pearson will be fascinating.

LOL.

None of those three are clean.

seems to be a whole load of eastern european dopers from 20 years ago

and 2 clean white girls from today

bucking the trend a bit

huh

She pulls her trail leg over sooner than others, and powerfully. That's her edge.
