Poor Leroy. I would think he hopes that the UoH doesn’t get wind of this! Or forgets quickly upon his return.

Mitchell and Lewis still have nice techniques man!

So Carl ran like 12 and Leroy ran like 14? haha gimme a break $$$

In my “prime” I ran 11.2. At 40, having taken 19 years off, I ran 12.6. If only I could have raced Burrell when we were both 40. I could tell people forever that I beat Leroy Burrell! :smiley:

dennis tech looked pretty good.

I think Burrells start would have been better had he used a sumo stance…

My friend met Dennis Mitchell at a coaches clinic in Dedham, Ma, said Mitchell was a good guy.

Yeah I did some training at the NTC in Clermont, Florida where he is based and he is a cool guy. Seemed very knowledgable and happy to help!

i thought Carl looked the goods when they 1st focused on him.
i thought leroy looked like he had been in an office job for some time!! I thought slow, but damn
i thought Dennis looked like the winner when they were talking to him, particually as Carl was looking Mid Heavy in the background AND wearing Boardshorts too!!

If they were gunna race, what about the Big $$ race that never happened about the Oly game 88final??

lol thats pretty funny but degrading imo. where was linford? he would have crushed them :smiley:

man that is surreal seeing world champions running as fast as me.

yeh and they double ur age.

I was thinking the same thing. Linford would have DESTROYED them all. He still looks like a stud!

how fast is linford now do you know? mitchell didn’t even look like he was trying that hard I think he could have gone 11.30.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if these guys actually trained for a race like this, gpp,spp, then this would be the main comp. lol

They should be pleased Merlene Ottey didn’t line up against them :stuck_out_tongue:

I think Linford would have been on the same sort of level as Dennis.

Yeah agree. Dennis looked to be in shape, smooth and relaxed.

Linford I am sure would be similar.

Just to let you know how competitive the age group- Carl, Leroy, and Dennis would be in-
