Dwain Chambers, Ato Boldon and Box Jumping

Several years ago in the days before YouTube, there was a viral video of Ato Boldon doing a 60 inch or 1.50m box jump (approximately).  Obviously, people confused this with the vertical jump or vertical leap test, but it is a good indication of explosiveness.  And bravery.
I am a firm believer in plyometrics, and I […]

Adidas Super 7 - How Did They Do?

I love the world of sports marketing, branding, and world dominance.  And yes, I follow their commercials.
The Adidas Super 7 series of videos were filmed in March 2009.
I purposely waited until the Berlin Marathon to post this.  Haile Gebrselassie won the 2009 Berlin Marathon in 2:06:08 setting a new 30 km world record (unofficial) of […]

Carmelita Jeter 100 meter 10.64 Video in Shanghai China

And you thought Carmelita Jeter’s 10.67 in Greece last week was simply a fluke…
Even Jamaica’s Veronica Campbell-Brown runs a season best 10.89. The wind was a legal +1.2.
There is something magic about the stadium in Shanghai, China. Perhaps it is a super hard lightening fast track…
If it were not for the Flo-Jo’s 10.49 […]

Tyson Gay 100 meter 9.69 Video in Shanghai China

And you are telling me this guy is injured and needs surgery at the end of the season…
This 9.69 100 meter race smells a lot like the Tim Montgomery world record with the exact +2.0 tailwind.
But his reaction time was a normal 0.178 seconds.
He betters his 9.71 PB from Berlin and beats Asafa Powell in […]

Usain Bolt 4×100m Relay Anchor Leg at Zurich Video

Imagine if someone said to the Jamaican 4×100m Team:
“You can’t win, all you have is Usain Bolt”.
Afterwards, in victory of course, Jamaica would reply:
“All you need is Usain Bolt”.
In Zurich, 45 minutes after his 9.81 100 meter victory, we finally get a chance to see Bolt run the Anchor.
Bolt gets the final baton pass with […]

Usain Bolt 9.81 100m Zurich Video

Usain Bolt 9.81 Weltklasse Zurich Video

How fast will Usain Bolt run?

How tired is this human after his 19.19 200m World Record? His “weak” 4×100m relay leg showed he was human after all!

Will he just go for the win against fellow countryman Asafa Powell?

UPDATE: Check back on this site in a few hours for the […]

43.18- It was 10 Years Ago Today - August 26, 1999

If the number forty-three-point-one-eight (43.18) doesn’t mean anything to you, then you aren’t a real Quarter-miler.  One day, that number (or lower) will be the 100 meter freestyle swim record.
It was ten years ago today, Michael Johnson set the Men’s 400-meter world record in Seville.
Michael Johnson should have demolished the 400 World Record in Zurich […]

LaShawn Merritt, Jeremy Wariner 400m - Battle of Nike and Adidas

LaShawn Merrit and Jeremy Wariner in the 400m – The Battle of Nike and Adidas
Next to the Usain Bolt – Tyson Gay anticipated match up, the LaShawn Merritt Jeremy Wariner head-to-head match up comes next.
These two have been avoiding each other all year, and the meeting in Herculis Greece never materialized where LaShawn ran 44.73.
Head-to-head […]

Usain Bolt 19.19 200m World Record Video

Usain Bolt 19.19 200m World Record Video

How fast will Usain Bolt run?

Will he go for the World Record, like he did in Beijing 2008?

Or, will he just go for the win, and the World Record will be bonus?

The only sprinters who will push him (at least while on the curve) are Americans Shawn Crawford and […]

Usain Bolt 9.58 Berlin World Championships Video

Usain Bolt Berlin World Championships Video

How fast will Usain Bolt run?

That seems to be the question these days, barring unfortunate weather conditions.

His 10.03 jogging the last 60 meters in the Quarter-Finals made me believe he is ready for another world record.

He appeared to relax (while the rest of the field were straining) after 60 meters […]

Berlin 2009 World Championships - 100 meters Videos (QF)

When you have the top sprinters in the world jogging a sub-10 second or 10 flat 100 meters, you know these guys have something in reserve will produce something special in the Semis and Finals.
I thought Asafa Powell executed his race the best as he ran his own race in Lane 1, and relaxed at […]

The Art & Science of Coaching with Usain Bolt and Glen Mills

IMD presents: The Art & Science of Coaching with Usain Bolt and Glen Mills

Here is an amazing 1 hour video from IMD. IMD is a Leading Global Business School based in Lausanne, Switzerland.

If you have an hour to spare, grab a drink and something to eat, and watch these videos.

Part 1 is here from […]

LaShawn Merritt 44.73 Herculis Monaco Video

LaShawn Merritt and Jeremy Wariner continue to avoid each other as the match up to Berlin comes to a climax.
This video is a textbook 400 meter sprinting at its finest.  The HQ quality shows good form and rhythm from most of the athletes, including the winner LaShawn Merritt.
Ever notice the 400 meter winner smiles for […]

Usain Bolt London Grand Prix Video

Usain Bolt at the Aviva London Grand Prix Video

How fast will Usain Bolt run?

His past performances in Manchester, Toronto, Lausanne and Paris were all in less than ideal conditions for world records, notably, rain and headwind.

It’s pretty scary to think a 9.79 and 19.59 were set in non-perfect conditions. And his reaction times were […]

Rome Golden Gala - 100 meter Videos Heats and Finals

I purposely sat around the 30 meter mark to get a better view of the 100 meter starts.  I knew I could get the official video footage later with a view from the finish line.  It was also closer to the Women’s Pole Vault and Men’s Javelin. 
Getting a different vantage point is an interesting […]

Usain Bolt 9.79 100m in Paris Video

Usain Bolt in Paris Video

How fast will Usain Bolt run? That’s the consensus on the Letsrun and Track and Field News message boards (and other message boards that I don’t bother checking).

What is odd is no Americans were listed in the Start List. I thought they were a sprint powerhouse?

His press conference is […]

Usain Bolt 19.59 200 Meters in Lausanne Video

Usain Bolt in Lausanne

How fast will Usain Bolt run?

Last year in Lausanne where he equaled the meeting record last year clocking 19.63, but that was post-Beijing 2008. And he even eased up from the finish line.

Put Bolt on a fast track, some decent weather, favorable wind, and red-hot sub-20 second Shawn Crawford and anything […]

Bill Bowerman, NIKE, PRE and… Harry Jerome?

YET another successful Harry Jerome International Track & Field Classic is under our belts.  In case you missed it, you can view all the races and interviews on Flocast.org.
Harry Jerome was the most decorated sprinter between the Percy Williams (1920’s) and Ben Johnson (1980’s) era.  One of the many highlights was his bronze medal in […]

Usain Bolt Ostrava 9.77 Video

Usain Bolt in Ostrava

How fast will Usain Bolt run?

His last 2 races, the 150 meter race in Manchester, and his 10 flat 100 meter race in Toronto, were affected by rain.

Put Bolt on a fast track, some decent weather, favorable wind, and a couple of guys with 9.99 PRs, and anything is possible.

UPDATE: Try 9.77 […]

Usain Bolt in Toronto Video

Usain Bolt is coming to Canada.

There was an interesting article from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun outlining why his is attending the meet live.

He quotes, “A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a once-in-a-lifetime kind of athlete”.

I will not be there, so I don’t get credit for the video.

In fact, I won’t be at the 2009 […]
