Charlie’s comments on Desai Williams from the Vancouver videos are quite evident here.
Watch Carl turn on the power after about 50 or 60m!!! He flew past Desai Williams, and whooped the whole field.
PJ if your’e reading this, do you have 10m Splits of Carl’s 9.97s in that Semi-Final???
desai had a mean start in this race.
I’ve checked out Bubonic Films but can’t seem to find this Carl semi. I’m dying to see it again. During Championships, I always tape quarters and semis, but this time round I didn’t bother taping Carl early on 'cause I was so sure he would destroy the final. As history shows that he didn’t, I was kicking myself for not getting his 9.99 Q.F or 9.97 S.F. Anyone know where we can view these runs or get them on c.d?
Thanks
