What did LetsRun do to piss off Christian Coleman?

God, you're an idiot. Remember when you couldn't even identify who you were denigrating?

Obviously I don't think Coleman is a BAILEY, or a JOHNSON or a Van Niekerk, or OBVIOUSLY not a BOLT.

They could do it. Coleman can't. Think more Greene in Sydney. He won, but he didn't PR, and that's at least partially because he was trying to make sure he WON (the US champs hammy shenanigans are probably also part of the story). Except, Greene was more legit (as in he was a starter AND a finisher), whereas Coleman is a one trick pony (incredible start/accel). It's a REALLY good trick, so he might still pull off a win....especially without Lyles there. But, he doesn't have the room to be popping PRs at Worlds along with a win.

At least not a meaningful PR. If he doesn't PR at US and gets a perfect +2 in the World final, he may squeeze out a 9.78, but it would probably come in tandem to a 9.78 with Gatlin and he wins it by a desperate lean, or even loses it by a lean.

But that PR would be a luck of the wind kind of thing; his recent 9.81 is better than a 9.78 with a +2.

Here's a newsflash for ya dude .... he couldn't care less about you rooting for him. He has plenty of great supporters around the world. No need to worry about a non-expert who never ran a sub-12 100m, and says totally idiotic things like "If he wins in Doha it's because he has to out lean people running him down right to the line." LOLOLOLOL!

Never mind the fact that if he wins at Doha he'll be the freaking world champ! LOLOLOLO

And another thing: he and Noah have raced four times as pros... Christian is 3-1, with the one loss being this season... by .007... in his first race of the season vs. Noah's third.

And finally, I'd take your "wager" ... but I don't do food stamp cards.

I'd LOVE to measure 100m PRs with you. Preferably in basic. Pretty doubtful your best me if your you're lowballing it at a 12 second guess.

Mark the Doha 100m final on your calendar, "Meh 11.9".

We can come back here and see who is right.

Try again.

Hell, Coleman probably would benefit from replacing his 70-100 10 meter splits with my splits back from when I was peaked.

And before we mark the Doha final down, it'd be wise to take a peek at the US final. So. Go ahead and mark THAT down, dumb.

God this might be the most ignorant/retarded thing I've ever seen posted on this site and I've seen things like a guy saying that "Roger Federer has not reached the level of athletic greatness of an NCAA distance running champ."

In Coleman's 9.94 silver medal at the 2017 Worlds, his 10m sits from 60 to 100.

60-070: 0.88

70-080: 0.88

80-090: 0.88

90-100: 0.92

Ok. You're right. If he could turn that last .92 into another .88, and still have all the rest of his race the same, I'm sure he'd say "nah, I'll just keep my .92". Silver is fine. I like getting run down!

God. If this is really what Coleman fanboys are like, then no wonder my instinct was to root against him. Like moths to a flame... You guys are idiots.

I'm not a Christian Coleman fanboy, I could care less if he wins or loses, but you literally said that he would run better if he had your 70-100m splits from when you were in your "peak". So either you are Asafa Powell, Bolt, Bromell, etc posting under an anonymous name on LRC or a complete imbecile.

Sooooo....you're a distance kid who thinks he knows something about sprints....

You bring up good points, but I think a lot of journos who switched careers or went to the Dark Side did so b/c they were afraid of losing access to sources.

That is why you don't see hard-hitting journalism anymore. That, and the public is just worn out by the fake news debate.

Also you can make more $$$ in PR than in journalism. I'm not even sure why Millennials choose a career that pays about the same as Burger King, unless you get famous and land with a big paper or legacy pub.

"Meh" is obviously Sprintgeezer under a different name.

Sprintgeezer has zero credibility here, so he switched names.

That's awesome. I hate that dude.

Does ANYBODY on this board have credibility? Gimme a break.

Seriously, why do you have this unhealthy obsession with me?

With every post you look more ridiculous, you should switch your online persona to one that is reasonable and not merely disparaging and antagonistic.

Round 2..... start rumors!

Jon has a good way of making people feel uncomfortable.

I think Malmo is credible too, Rono used to post too I think

Thanks for the support Dad.

They probably deleted his posts here.

I don't like the dude. Not rooting for him at all.

And his sprint form is TRASH. I'd wager this race ends up being his best executed race of the year. Even if he runs faster as the year goes, his trash finishing ability will rear its ugly head more noticeably.

If he wins in Doha it's because he has to out lean people running him down right to the line.

Howd that prediction work out for you troll
