Is Christophe Lemaitre going to run sub 10

100 metres 23 May 2010 Franconville, France 10.03 (+0.6)

He is apparently running in the same race with Powell. I have been hearing some rumors that he is ready for it.

He is a great talent. Took out Dwains European junior record.

he’s running for white guys everywhere! :wink:

never cause he is white. just joking. It appears that he will be under 10 real soon barring injury. He is already the fastest white man ever correct?

Well, I think Borzov is. Hadn’t he run on that soft track in the early 70’s but on a mondo he would have gone under 10. I reckon he was capable of running 9.90 or faster if he was to run on tracks we use these days.

Marian Voronin 10.00* (+2.0m)
Pietro Mennea 10.01 (0.0) at Altitude
Matt Shirvington 10.03 (-0.1))
Nicolas Macronozaris 10.03 (0.0) at Altitude

Consistently would be Matt Shirvington with about 10 or so performances under 10.1s.
