2009 US Champs LIVE

lol, so there was the dude who went to prison, then drummond, and now he’s on his own? Does he know thatt much about sprint training himself to run a 45.xx/19.58/9.75 all in their 1st of the season? kinda odd…

Maybe he reads this forum!

loll. :D:p

video of the run: http://ow.ly/15GarZ

Yeah, he’s been listening to Charlie about doing overspeed with the wind.

They (Gay and Drummond) actually said before the NC that Gay was only going to do 1 heat…

He’s done:

Gay runs wind-aided 9.75 in Oregon

EUGENE, Ore. – It took Tyson Gay only 9.75 seconds to prove that, yes, he’s healthy, and leave the rest of the world wondering what he might do next.

With a helping wind at his back, America’s best-known sprinter ran the 100 in the seventh-fastest time under any conditions Thursday, then exited stage right, not to be seen again at the U.S. championships.

About a half hour after he ran, Gay’s coaches confirmed he wouldn’t be racing again this week.

“Gay went for therapy to a well known guy about a month ago and was asked about his coach and he said he didn’t have one!”

Gay answered this way so that the subject would not go any further.

MIKE NIKE

So who is/are the mystery coach(es)?

USATF still lists Lance Brauman and Jon Drummond.

Same thing I was thinkin. Get charlies books and vids and your set.

lol

I also want to know why williams qualified. And what happened to dix

I heard a rumour that Dix was injured less than a week ago.

They took the top 4 from each heat. Heat 1 was MUCH faster than heat 2. Here it is with the lanes:

Semi-Finals
1 Michael Rodgers Nike 9.85Q 4.0 1
2 Ivory Williams Nike 9.96Q 3.2 2
3 Darvis Patton Nike 9.90Q 4.0 1
4 Travis Padgett adidas 9.96Q 3.2 2
5 Leroy Dixon Nike 10.00Q 4.0 1 [9.991]
6 Shawn Crawford Nike 10.06Q 3.2 2
7 Monzavous Edwards Nike 10.00Q 4.0 1 [9.999]
8 Bernard Williams adidas 10.24Q 3.2 2
9 Trindon Holliday L S U 10.03 4.0 1
10 Mark Jelks Nike 10.06 4.0 1
11 Trell Kimmons adidas 10.15 4.0 1
12 Ahmad Rashad unattached 10.21 4.0 1
13 Marcus Brunson unattached 10.25 3.2 2
14 Walter Dix Nike 10.32 3.2 2
15 Rodney Martin unattached 11.59 3.2 2

Top 4 in each heat… that’s technically “why”, but philosophically why a guy so out of his prime and running such a slow time (with big tailwind) could get top 4 in a semi at US Nationals… you got me on that one.

Dix hurt his hamstring a couple weeks ago… said it was tight in the post-race interview yesterday and I am not sure what happened today.

omg i just fell in love with that website lol cant work out the difference im in the uk how long to the final

Top 4 wtf. That is dumb ass hell. Only the fastes should be in the final period.

Kinda hard to say that though when wind can be completely different heat to heat. Maybe top 3 plus next 2 fastest would be a better idea.

This is not a heat- it’s the semi-finals and that’s how they are done everywhere. As for times, if someone gets injured who has better form going in or screws up or whatever, that’s your good or bad luck. The seeds going to the semis should be pretty equal. Williams finished up on Dix
