Rome Golden Gala – 100 meter Videos Heats and Finals

It was also closer to the Women’s Pole Vault and Men’s Javelin. Getting a different vantage point is an … [Read more...] about Rome Golden Gala – 100 meter Videos Heats and Finals

Let's face it, the new swimming suits have helped demolish world records at a record pace (no pun intended).

The CIS is Canada's equivalent to the NCAA in the USA. I represented McGill at 3 different National … [Read more...] about Anything Goes – the 2009 CIS Mens 4x200m Relay Video
