Justin Clouder, is that you? Problems logging in?

I can't say I know anything about Darrel Brown, but I share your amazement at the lack true justice in the drug banning process.

Didn't the Qatar results imply a 10 lane track?

Chaz... Not the DIII sprint champ by any chance? If so, you almost belong on that top-10 list... Wink

Yeah nice to have you here ... Curious as to why you added Obikwelu and Chambers to your list there ... Obikwelu hasn't done much since 1999 ... And Chambers has not proven an ability to win anything of note outside of Britain ... Embarassed

In Obikwelu we have a young guy who finally might be in an enviornment to unleash that awesome potential he has displayed when he was still in Nigeria. If you recall he ran 9.98 last year as was ranked 6th in the world.

Chambers is a big meet performer and just last year he scooted a 9.97 and did take 5th at the world's he was also ranked 5th in the world.

I feel both are still a threat on the scene. They are both under 25!

Chaz I like Obikwelu's potential as well ... Although I would love to see him double in the 200 and 400 ... I think he can get around 9.95 but that really isn't going to be medal competitive ... With his stride he could go sub 44 I belive .. He is very fluid ..

NOlt oso sure I am as convinced about Chambers .. I think he is already at this limit ... Too tense a sprinter for my taste ... Good around 10.00 but that isn't going to cut it ... Seems like it keeps getting more and nmore crouded at thte top of the sprinting elite . ..

I agree 100% about Obikwelu and the 400. He has sub 45.00 written all over him.

We will just have to take a wait and see approach with Chambers I seem to like him a little more than you do. No biggie bro!

Sadly, that could be a dominant time this year. Sad

Chambers has put on a lot of muscle this winter - he looked very powerful at the Loughborough meeting a few weeks ago. I think he's been training in the US.

Brendan Christian is only 17 - born December 1983 - so his 9.9, even though hand timed, is impressive. MLF's world age 17 best is 10.10. Both Christian and Darrel Brown may get close to that. But let me guess...Christian is really a US football star and just runs for fun?
