Right ok....the yank Quincy Hall i think will be the first to go under 43 seconds over the next few years but your pals record im sure was 43.8 something..... so just shows how difficult the event is when in 55 odd years the record has come down less than a second !
-
Just watching this triple jump competition makes you realise just how unbelievable Jonathan Edwards jumps were years ago these medalists are getting nowhere near it his record must be 30 years old now, cant see that ever being beaten.

400 is a killer of an event as a schoolkid i came second in England back when the Nationals were held in Derby my time of 56.2 beat the old record so only the kid who beat me that day had run faster for our age at that time.....i was never quick enough for the 100/200 and didnt have the frame or endurance for 1500 but the 400 was just about guts and brute force you had to " relaxed sprint " from gun to line...... Lee Evans was before my time but Michael Johnson,Butch Reynolds etc....even our own Roger Black were all phenomenal athletes Johnson was just a freak of nature.....real tester of an e

1000/1 accumulator surely ?

Normally id be raring to go about now but just had the most heartbreaking few months of my life.....an old couple who from a kid have treated me like a son passed away within a week of each other in June....both massive Hammers fans i just cant get any motivation for footie at all at the moment i know we've bought a few players nobody ive ever heard of and cant be bothered to find out.....im sure once the season gets into swing old habits will kick back in....i wouldnt expect a lot this year its most likely going to have a bit of a " starting all over again " feel to it.....dont think we'll be

For me you have to look past the political angles they are using sport for same with the footie......whatever is attracting a lot of eyes will be used to make political points you'd be cutting off your nose to spite your face by refusing to watch it for that reason. Its a bit like the Eurovision song contest id imagine that was a legit singing contest at one point but now they've made a mockery of it....maybe the Olympics is heading the same way.
-
Not sure whether your joking or not.....i f****n hope so ! I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and presume you mean the old hundred yard dash.....on a track marked out in footsteps by a blind midget !
-
21.80 for the 200m at 14 years old just sounds unbelievable dont it ! At that age even 1 school year see's a big difference time wise my pals lad has done a 57.5 second 400 metres and i think it was a 26 second 200m as well which for his age is national level.
-
As a guideline if you's are on about the 100m i went to see my pals boy win the under 13's District Sports 100m recently in a time of 12.25 which was certainly his school record not sure about district record but he competes for Thurrock Harriers so decent level athlete.

Better finances = more accurate clearance times,better screening/lab evaluations....basically a better service from molecular level up...................or plain old fashioned " face of sport " corruption,take your pick.
-
Apparently all 8 failed.......realising it would be a total embarrassment to announce that every athlete failed in the most watched race in history the Olympic committee of the day decided there would have to be one scapegoat " and make sure he isnt American "..... Besides being Canadian the fact that Ben Johnson could barely read/write or string a sentence together probably helped in their decision making.....poor ol f****r always felt for him.
-
For as long as the labs are in front of the testers you'll never find clean sport....not at the highest level anyway.
-
Its not about rose tinted glasses its about basic common sense,genetic inheritance and maths.......the " mix " as you describe was over 150 years ago.....had that original " mix " been continually bred to the Terrier side for the next 150 years ( roughly 30 generations ) with no subsequent outcrosses,todays offspring would be carrying 0.00000009% Bulldog blood......1 more generation forward ( 31 generations ) and that percentage becomes 5.820766e-9 %....numbers i personally dont even understand. To pretend that an original cross can never be pure is like saying all dog breeds are the same
-
So a pure Mayfield pit bull for instance......a dog bred from over 100 years of documented heritage.....probably genetically purer than any other living strain within any dog breed alive today so much so that many are suffering from inbred suppression......you are booking as a " mixed breed " ?............do me a favour !
-
Maybe its just me but these days i think we make a mockery of such memorials/remembrances.......to act proud for 1 day of the year and spend the other 364 days of the year in shameful embarrassment and fear of being in any way patriotic just reeks of deceit......its how you live your life and the standards you uphold that truly shows respect to those old boys not how you act for 1 day.
-
Was only talking about this the other day a prime Haye versus a prime Usyk fight probably at cruiserweight would have been a fantastic match up.....id of booked a prime Haye to beat both Wilder and Fury his style was just wrong for them he was a good punch picker,very accurate and had decent power if Fury fought him the way he fought Usyk it wouldnt of lasted long.....Fury thought he could beat Usyk in a boxing match he didnt lean,hold and maul like he normally does and he got completely outboxed if he did the same with Haye he'd of got knocked out. Regards Wilder nobody could question hi

Some clever picture taking there,with a name like Fuji are you an actual photographer or have you just got a pukka camera ?.....keep them coming mate,brilliant.

Enjoyed that Champions League final the other night what a breath of fresh air Ally McCoist is as a co commentator he sounds a likeable,humorous sort of chap with a good understanding of the game at that level.....the better side lost i thought but with 39 champions league medals across the squad compared to 1 for Dortmund it suggests Madrid know how to win these competitions. Just cant get motivated for these Euro's coming up..... ive been all over watching England in tournament football over the years but giving this one a miss,just something not right at International level football fo

Silly c**ts what the fucks wrong with youngsters these days......just kick the shit out of him and move on....standards are dropping at every level of society.
-
If we are now going to pretend that Wilder won a non partisan,legitimate world heavyweight title and wasnt just gifted a belt to ensure America still had a heavyweight champion then its worth remembering that Wilders best win was a 73 year old Luis Ortiz.....and in turn Luis Ortiz best win was an almighty struggle with Charles Martin......a man Joshua sparked in 2 rounds.......kind of puts Wilders career in perspective doesnt it......Wilders career is the biggest fraud since the Wba ranked a dead fighter 11th in their rankings for crying out loud !
-
Audley Harrison won a gold at the Olympics !...........amateur boxing is,amateur.

Perfectly put.....only in such a poor era could such a poor fighter go as far as he did in the game.....had he not been American i have my doubts he would have ever fought for a title i cant think of any fighter over the years so reliant on one punch.....i always hoped Wilder would fight Usyk as it would have been hilarious watching him trip over his own feet As you say he seems a nice fella and a nice story what with his kids and whatever so good luck to him.
-
You was either watching a different fight to me or seeing what you want to see......picking him apart ffs !
-
His first trainer was a pal of mine training out of a gym i know well so i saw a lot of him early on Daniel had all the physical attributes you'd want in a young fighter,explosive fast,light on his feet....but a bit later on i saw him have a few spars that didnt fill you with confidence..... he was like a little boy in a mans body,his father was an absolute pain in the arse but someone Daniel naturally looked to in any kind of uncomfortable moment he was always a shy kid really unsure of himself and it was hard to watch at times.....personally i dont think you can put in what nature left out a
