Don’t embarrass yourself. I could understand if 11 flat guys went and ran 10.3. U have 9.9 sprinters running 9.9 and 10 flat.
Wouldn’t be the first time a good time was declared null and void due to a short track. I believe Tim Montgomery had a sub-10 time taken from him due to a mis-measured 100m distance.
I dont believe im embarassing myself, I was simply stating what i was told from someone I would consider to be reputable. It could certainly be a bunch of crap, I understand how fast they are. Even if the track was a tiny bit short the times would still be fast. I am not trying to discount anyone’s speed.
I remember that, wasn’t it only like 1inch short also?
Not sure, but nobody wants to ever get caught one-inch short! :o
Pj will be doing an analysis of the gay and the bledman races. Ill post em when I get em.
Can anyone post full results from this competition? Tyson ran 9.79 and a lot of people doubt about this race (trackandfieldnews forum). I bet Tyson will run 9.7+ in New York this Saturday. And the track is short? come on…
lol well the results are up yet. should be on http://www.usantc.com/all_results.php when ready.
The really funny part will be the fact that gay will not be anywhere on the results. His coach had his time not posted on the results at the meet. so I dont know if they will be on the final. I asked him why gays results werent on there he gave me a funny answer but i think they were trying to keep it hush. like that was possible.
As for all the skeptics. Everyone that has run fast on this track has duplicated it at other meets this year, so why people are still questioning the validty of the meet is beyond me.
Would the fact that there is nothing giving a reaction from the blocks make any times ran invalid?
I know for a fact that every iaaf certified meet does not have block reactions.
Foot carry over the support knee. Foot lands almost directly beneath. Forward body lean. 5 meter stride!
Chris do you have the video of the women’s 400?
Naw I was warming up when they ran.
damn it my pics didnt show up. will have to redo
Did you see Adrienne Power(white girl) come 2nd in the 400? Because the results have her at 4th. She has contacted the meet directed.
I really don’t remember what place she came in. I just remember trotter being way out front.
I watched that race but unfortunately didn’t record it. I recorded the mens race. I don’t know her name but a white girl definitely did come in 2nd and it was pretty close between her and trotter.
The results e-mail I receive from T&FN says Al. Williams (EAI) in 52.03 PR was second to Trotter’s 51.88.
Ya thats not quite right, but I’m sure it will get fixed soon
