I want to congratulate Wallace Spearmon on his last minute victory at the Manchester Great City Games 150 meters.  Walter Dix pulled out at the last minute, so he had very little time to pack his bags and “cross the pond”.  Be sure to follow him on Twitter at http://twitter.com/PrinceSpearmon

As expected, Dwayne Chambers gets off to a rocket start, but eventually the speed endurance of Wallace Spearmon closes the gap for an easy victory.

Just as a comparison, since I am collecting stats, here are his 50m splits along with Tyson Gay’s 2011 race, and Usain Bolt’s WR of 14.25 set back in 2009.

    Jimson,in the video the splits are correct, but at 50m is another runner who arrive first,5.79 perhaps is for that runner and perhaps Spearmon have a time slower?
    Because at 100m Spearmon is first so his time there will be correct, but at 50m the first runner i imagine is who get 5.79…
    I wait his answer Mr Lee.

    Regards.

      @Harry, you are absolutely correct. The first 50m split is for Dwain Chambers. I will need to obtain HD quality video and get the approx splits for Wallace. Thanks for the helpful eye!

    Thanks by his fast answer Mr Lee.
    Yes, i hope that you get HD video soon and we will can see his real time.
    I imagine that around 5.90 perhaps, so his last 100 would be good, a 8.9x probably.
    Spearmon is very slow starter but since 50m is very fast really, he is not Bolt,Blake or Gay but he is faster that most athletes there hehe.

    Regards

      @Harry, what is impressive is his last 50 was equal to that of Tyson Gay. Wallace will be a contender for 2012. Just hope he stays between the lines this time!

    Well really his last 50 was equal to Gay 2011, only good shape, Gay 2010 in his 200 straight 100 to 150 was very good 4.53.
    Where Gay is not very good is in 150-200, usually he is “only” around 5.0 seconds, where Bolt and Spearmon get easily sub 5.

    I see Bolt and Blake very favourite for gold and silver, but after fighting for bronze to Dix,Lemaitre and Spearmon.
    Wonderful 200 i see, true Jimson? :)
