I saw the meeting live on Eurosport…fast times, but not superfast alldaylong…Kerron sSyewart got 4th or 5th in 11"32…marshavet Myers Pb 10"99…fast 100h too, but slow 400…200 won by Spearmon in 20"19 ( 10"24 on 100m b race).
Jmee also run 10"13 ina heat, under 23 100m race before the final.
The track is very fast ( 9"92 old track record, Tim Harden), and Luzern is 450m above sea level.
Having watched the race again…without any discredit that was no 9.86 run…especially when I gauge it against Tyson 9.8x the other night in Stockholm with Bolt and him going all out.
Interesting. I wonder if we’ll get good video and PJ can have a look at the time.
Didn’t Carter switch from MVP to Racers recently?
No he’s MVP.
WOW now I have heard it all…‘that was no 9.86s’ run. Please…how about kudos to the guys for putting it together on a known fast track.
I dont feel so bad for running so slow at my last meet. Walter dix was there and ran 10.28 with a -1.8m/s headwind in the cold.
The man must have been in incredible shape after running 19.7, I figured he improved his shape since then too.
Do you really think Dix was trying for some lame meet in Canada in the cold - think about it…??
Anyone have any good quality video of this race? I’m happy for all three of these guys, that’s awesome news for them.
No video I can find yet, but Carter looks to have put on some muscle to my eyes.
Suspect, these guys always look soft and puffy in another 4 weeks look all dense.
lol… Yea and that dude JMee, I saw VEINS coming out his shoulders on one of the videos you posted.
I got the race at home on dvd…gonna see if i can upload it…
excellent…
He got killed to 50m, so he had to turn it on and ran through the line.
Judge for yourself if he was trying or not. Makes no diff to me
Are you the white dude that got out??
No, I wasnt in that race. White dude is Mike LeBlanc, pb of 10.17s. He made the ncaa final in 07 when dix ran 9.93 and he had that same start on him.
Leblanc has had a great start for a while now, and it can make it hard to judge other starts around his for this reason.
Is his back still fucked enough that he no longer does squats? He’s a forum member here, I can remember reading where he injured it doing back squat summer of 07 or 08 cant remember.
This is Ben Johnson’s little brother lol…
Btw 9.86 is not that unexpected from him no? He ran 10.24 into a -5.x headwind. I thought that converted to a 9.87. Besides that he ran 9.98 and 9.91 but was plagued by lot’s of injuries…
