I doubt Fox even considered the wind. In the end, both Gay and Blake ran wind legal 9.69s.

In Beijing, Bolt hit 30m in 3.62 and 40m in 4.49. Converting to 40 yards using linear interpolation (40 yards = 36.576 meters), this equates to a 4.19 40 yard dash. I already took out his reaction...
9.58 vs. 9.86
He never fails to fail.
Does Bolt even have to compete in the Jamaican trials or does he get a free ticket in the 100 and 200 since he won gold last time around? Maybe I'm confusing Olympic rules with World Championship...
I'd argue that Bolt didn't run down Powell. They seem pretty darn even throughout their acceleration phase when you look at the marks on the track. I think it's just the original angle that makes...
Well it's better than his negative reaction time last summer.
Keep in mind that 5x200 at 25 is a completely different workout for a 43.18 runner than for a 50.00 runner.
What's the correlation between being able to finish the 6x200m session in your take home time and one's actual ability to finish a race at that pace?
Perhaps this was covered at some point in the...
I instantly get this sour taste in my mouth when read, hear, or watch anything related to CrossFit. Phrases like "Any fool can get another fool tired" and "I don't care how many times you can jump;...
How do gauge the speed for the sub-max SE runs? Do you use a 20m accel or something similar for the intensity limit?
I figured I'd chime in here as I've been utilizing the deadlift for about 2.5 years now. I hit a lot of squats when I first started lifting seriously around the age of 21 (I'm 28 now). After a...
50m times for the different strokes range from 20 to 25 seconds, which makes them pretty comparable to a 200m race on the track.
How about LaShawn Merritt's reaction time in the 400m finals? I...
Should they also remove the "one-step on the line and out" rule in the 200? What if Bolt stepped on the line in the heats? IMO, that's a harder one not to violate than waiting for the gun to start.
It seems that every article that is getting written points the finger at track officials and/or the Federation instead of Bolt himself. Let's assume it was Asafa who false started in the finals. ...
This is pretty interesting. The first video isn't clear, and the guy rambles on much too long. Watch the second video to see the apparent flinch by Blake. It happens 15 seconds into the video.
...
My initial reaction after watching was one of extreme disappointment. Instantly I thought, "Damn the current false start rule." But as I've thought about it over the day, it is the current rule and...
If true, this is not necessarily the end of the world. It could end up serving as a forced, albeit extended, taper. I've had a number of occasions over the years where I hit SBs and PBs following...
It kills me to think how much valuable energy and time may get wasted by a developing athlete on "perfecting" these drills in lieu of actually sprinting.
I purchased a FreeLap system at the end of the last track season, and I absolutely love it. I currently just have two transmitters and one watch so that I can measure fly-in sprints. The most...
In the other video on the page (Bolt's 9.69), Richard Thompson is said to have the best start by the announcers. It looks to me like he has his head down as well in that clip. So are we saying that...
It's not been a great year for Hart's folks thus far.
Does discussing "age doping" violate the terms of the site?
I think the most important questions to ask with regards to Charlie's training methods don't begin with "what," but rather with "why."
Powell still has to run the rounds and make it happen in the final. History tells us that he's not a lock.
