Asafa on the record

This site is a whole lot better when people say what they think. This is one of the best threads so far because someone has actually disagreed with Charlie and had the courage to back it up, even in spite of the usual leaping to his defence.

One of the problems of championing and making money from a system is that anything that disagrees with it is assumed a threat, wrong or somehow justified and incorporated within it. Furthermore everyone’s problems can be solved by this system. On this occasion it happens to be that Asafa’s big races would be fine with Charlies preperation.

Don’t get me wrong I like the ideas, which is why I visit here but I cannot ignore the mass of either experience or research that I’m exposed too. eg : A significant study (think it was post atlanta) covering 200-300 olympians found that physical preperation was only one of a multitude of different factors that had an effect on an athletes confidence. Suprising findings eh ?

Anyway happy jousting, for the record Sevastacrator I’m in agreement with you. Lets have more of this, questioning is a good thing.

of course
it’s my opinion that asafa isn’t a lion but we have ever the need to see the whole picture.
the whole picture of asafa says as that in these years the jam have had ever problems before great champs (excepts athens when he did wrong the road to final (remember QF against greene)

what can we say about usain?
i remember a great QF in osaka ad a poor final (of course, in relative terms).
In 2007 was usain a lamb and in a 2008 a lion?
do bolt suffer of a dual personality?
and we can say the same thing about tyson (remember helsinky)
