The New Comers in 2007 and Possible Stars of 2008 or Why the Chinese Will Not Be Alone:
First Prediction: Revolution In 110 m Hurdles:
Artur Noga, Samuel Coco-Viloin, Konstadinos Douvalidis, Dennis Martin, Darius Reed, Wojciech Jurkowski, and Vladimir Zhukov may soon replace all the old—timers in the finals of the 110 m hurdles. Their times range from 13.23 for Noga’s Polish national junior record to Zhukov’s 13.53 seconds ran over 99 cm high hurdles. These men – just mentioned – seem to be a near—future star—loaded. The Poles, the French, and the Russians are not traditional powers in the men’s short dash hurdles, but because these non-traditional states have been able to produce exceptional short sprint—hurdlers, as did China recently, the field is soon—to—be overloaded with talent. _________________ http://vincovitanj.tripod.com/Do_not_be_a_victim1/index.htmlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u43o595CARQ

Another thing to look out for in 2007 and 2008 may be a new world record (or world best) in the 4 x 200 m relay: the young wave of the US dashers has come out of age and performs superbly not just back home, but improves their own personal best on the European and world circuits as well. Xavier Carter, Wallace Spearmon, and Tyson Gay all have run 200 meters under 19.70 seconds last year. The only occasional threat to their dominance may come from the Jamaicans: Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell who ran 200 m in 19.90 seconds or better the last year.
The US quartet of the 200 m dashers who broke 20 seconds barrier last year is completed by Jordan Vaden ( 19.98 seconds personal best in 2006 ) who is followed by an ex—African now--European sprinter Franics Obikwelu of Portugal with 20.01 seconds 200 m season’s best last year.
It would seem that picking Carter, Spearmon, Gay, Bolt, and Powell as the 200 m finalists for the world championships in 2007 and the Olympics in 2008 one cannot make much of a mistake.

all the above--results are based on or are 2006 season's bests or personal bests _________________ http://vincovitanj.tripod.com/Do_not_be_a_victim1/index.htmlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u43o595CARQ

The challenge is always finding enough competition on all 4 legs. In such a rarely run event, few countries can field 4 good runners.

A "regional" all-star squad is the only option I see.

About China, wasn't there an issue with their pollution affecting athletes in the Summer Olympics? I read that they are starting to put rain-inducing planes in air, and less car travel to prevent pollution. About 400,000 Chinese die a year from pollution. I just hope no sports will be removed just because of that issue. About the Olympics, and other major runnign events mostly for sprinting and middle distance, are they always at sea level or sometimes at high altitude? I would have a great advantage coming from Colorado and running in New Orleans... _________________ My favorite all time race: Hicham El Guerrouj - Prefontaine Classic Mile 2002 http://youtube.com/watch?v=4YykUTHzOL8
