Olympic 100 meter Sprint Videos

This YouTube video is called Break the limit - Tribute to Sprinters with the background music “Desert Rose” by Sting.

It starts off with the first electronic recorded 100 meters under 10 seconds by Jim Hines in the 1968 Olympics. I love this video because Lennox Lewis of Jamaica is wearing a simple short sleeve […]

Ben Johnson - The 1988 Lost Seoul Series

Where were you on December 8, 1980?

I was studying for my College finals when I heard the news about John Lennon.

Some dates you will always remember. July 20, 1969. September 11, 2001. September 24, 1988. December 26, 2004.

Did I say September 24, 1988?

With the 20th anniversary of the 1988 Seoul 100 […]

Dwain Chambers on Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell, Stride Length and Stride Frequency

Here are some quotes from the original article on timesonline.co.uk, and some commentary and analysis that follows it.

On Extrapolating 60 meters performances to 100 meters

Charles van Commenee, the new head coach at UKA, has said that Chambers is welcome back and the sprinter is hoping that this message will lead to a change in thinking. […]

Preventing ACL Injuries Videos

LA84foundation.org is the web site for the Legacy of The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games that has several excellent Free Track and Cross Country Coaching Books.

There is a web-based lesson for athletes, coaches, trainers and parents on how to prevent ACL injuries. While it may appear to focus on soccer, it applies to any […]

Obituaries - 400 meter Specialist Larry James 1947-2008

In the past 18 months this Blog has been around, we’ve had a few great ones pass away in such a short period of time:

Al Oerter
Herb McKenley
Peter Norman
Robert Taylor

And now Larry James.

Larry James is best known for his silver medal at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics in the 400 meters with a time of 43.97 […]

Worlds Fastest Female Sprinter - in 4 inch heels?

The only thing this post has to do with female sprinters is that we have females sprinting… in 9 cm heels.

I saw this video over a year ago, but I thought it was a one hit wonder, just like the 150 meter match race against Donovan Bailey and Michael Johnson.

I don’t know about you, but […]

Jeremy Wariner Training Tips

Being in Canada, I am not privy to the watching American commercials live. Even though we have ABC, CBS, NBC, the commercials are replaced by Canadian ones. Watching ESPN is tough, so I usually go to a Sports Bar and watch it on Satellite.

Then again, TSN, our Canadian version of ESPN, shows lots […]

Yoga, Resistance Stretching, and now Pilates Exercise?

I had a funny feeling Pilates was going to be popular with Track and Field athletes one day, along with the Alexander technique. In the personal fitness industry, we’ve seen the fad go from step classes, spinning bicycles, Tae-Bo, Bikram Yoga, kettlebells, swiss balls, bosu balls and other “core” fads.

I personally like good old-fashion […]

Terrell Owens Celebrations and Usain Bolt “Nuh Linga” Victory Dance

In football, when you think of crazy (or stupid) post-touchdown celebrations, you immediately think of Joe Horn’s cell phone prank, or Terrell Owens “Sharpie” autograph signing.

Or, even worse, Terrell Owens 50-yard dash to the Dallas Star at the middle of the playing field. And he did that prank twice. The first time was […]

Who Won the Shoes War? PUMA, NIKE or ADIDAS?

In the Corporate Olympics, who won the world’s fastest spikes?

Like the Sports drinks and cola beverage industry, the sports shoes market is a highly competitive one, even more competitive than the Men’s 100 meters!

My first recollection of the Corporate Olympics was in 1972. Lasse Viren won the 5000 and 10000 meter double, and immediately […]

Beijing Men’s Swimming 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Video

In the swimming events, the Beijing Men’s 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay was one of the most exciting relays. USA beat France 3:08.24 to 3:08.32. With all the lead changes, it was too close to call. Personally, I would have put Michael Phelps anchor to out psyche the opponents.

YouTube and NBC are […]

2008 USATF Masters Champs Videos - Mens 200m

The 2008 USATF Masters Championships were held in Spokane, WA from Aug 7-10.

The usual suspects came out (as usual) in the Mens 200m.

Stephen Robbins bettered the listed world M65 200m record in 25.36 (-0.8w) seconds. Earlier this year he posted a pending world record time of 25.20 seconds, with both times bettering the listed W65 […]

2008 USATF Masters Champs Videos - Womens 200m

The 2008 USATF Masters Championships were held in Spokane, WA from Aug 7-10.

I was surprised to see the number of Canucks in Spokane.

The heartbreak race was the W50 200 Meters. Amanda Scotti was leading the race until lactic acid got the best in her. She ended up tripping, but still finished the race. […]

2008 USATF Masters Champs Videos - Mens 400m Hurdles

The 2008 USATF Masters Championships were held in Spokane, WA from Aug 7-10.

I finally resolved the camera malfunction from yesterday in time to film the 400 meter hurdles. Note to self: always bring 2 cameras and lots of batteries.

The M40 and M50 were extremely close finishes. Congrats to my former teammate Laurent Birade […]

2008 USATF Masters Champs Videos - Mens 100m

The 2008 USATF Masters Championships were held in Spokane, WA from Aug 7-10.

After crossing the border, it was still a 2 hour drive to Seattle, then another 5 hours across HWY 90 in some of the most spectacular scenery in the Pacific Northwest

Due to a camera malfunction, I was only able to get a few […]

Jeremy Wariner’s Adidas Lone Star Spikes

The Olympics isn’t about the athletes or countries competing for gold, silver and bronze.

Pierre de Coubertin quoted “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well”

The Olympics is also about corporate sponsors winning market share. Gatorade vs. Powerade […]

Tommie Smith John Carlos 40 Years Later

Black Power Salute, 1968 Olympics, Mexico City Art Print

On October 16, 1968, this photo changed the world. Even in Canada the effects were tremendous.
You would think 40 years later these two men (children?) would settle their differences! They have 2 completely different versions on what happened on October 16, 1968. This story is from the […]

Videos of USAIN BOLT 19.67 seconds 200m in Athens

Usain Bolt of Jamaica, the 100-meter world record holder, ran the fastest 200 this year in 19.67 seconds at a meet in Athens Grand Prix 2008. Amazingly, Bolt has not yet decided if he will run both races at the Olympics. This race ranks him as the 5th fastest man ever in the 200-meters.
Here is […]

World’s Fastest Woman: Christine Arron or Torri Edwards?

Torri Edwards 10.78 (+1.8 wind) at the USATF Olympic Trials was truly impressive. It nearly compares to Christine Arron ’s 10.73 (+2.0 wind) set in 1998, nearly 10 years ago.

But with the skepticism of Flo-Jo’s 10.49 WR (wind meter questionable) , along Marion Jones guilty pleas with her altitude assisted 10.65, do you think […]
