Just returned from watching the Campbelltown round of the Telstra A series, this time Patrick Johnson was running the 200metres.
He blitzed the field in 20.25, blew them away at the start and held it through to the end. Davidson Ezenwa from Nigeria came 2nd, and Alvin Harrison from the USA came third.
Got there early and watched him do his full warmup, along with all the other competitors. Even got his autograph and a photo with my son
Too bad im gonna have to beat him this time next year huh hehe
one thing i must mention - Pat Johnson walked around all day with tonnes of confidence, like he really really knew he was the real deal. Didnt see him really do much warm up, especially in comparison to any of the other sprinters. Very Carl Lewis-ish. Mostly sat around looking fast. If that makes sense.
oh yeah. Marcia Dorsett is HOT! DAMN HOT! she ran second to Jana Pittman in the 300 metres, but as far as im concerned she was the best heheh :sing:
You mean Ambrose Ezenwa. I think Davidson Ezinwa (different spelling) has long retired. Chris Perry commentating at last year’s Stawell Gift foolishly said that Ambrose was Davidson’s younger brother.
Vincent came a distant 3rd or 4th in the 400m behind Batman and Hill. Speaking of which, did anyone see the size of Batman’s thighs - not quite what you’d expect of a 400m runner
You should try running a 400 and then come back with comments re Batman’s arms! :o
Marcia is a very nice girl. They are a happy couple. Casey has a lot of talent, he placed top 16 Sydney 2000 running a PB.
Batman is actually a bit slimmer than he was in 2000. He is running well at the moment though probably went out just a little too hard on Saturday. Next Saturday’s 400 in Canberra will be a real feast!

He did it bench pressing. Actually with a warmup weight. I have my suspicions why, the gym that he was in when he did it has 50% of the weights mislabled. Some are in lbs, some in kg. Worse still the sizes are similar.
The “Bench Press” seems to be the standard explanation for this type of tear from people who employ explosive overhead med ball throws from way back and from the side, while in a kneeling position (you know who you are) yet, when an injury occurs, this is never the reason why- it’s just that the individual in question happened to bench 75lbs once on their own! Hmmmmm! He who doesn’t learn from history is doomed to repeat it.

Great guess, i have seen their squad doing such exercises.
The shear & tensive forces on the pec major are not that great during the bench with light loads.
If a complete rapture occured with a light load then previous damaged tissue would of most likely existed.
