Lewis had 8.62 long jump in the U20 category... Where do you draw the line? :dunno:

He was a 200m speciallist until 2007 tbh.

 

What doesn't add up is the Carl Lewis story. I've read several reports IAAF doesn't want to touch the 1984 or 1988 doping file cause it would have blown the history books into the sky. Lewis is lucky Ben Johnson proved to be such an idiot. I still reckon Lewis is the biggest scam there ever was who got away with it and he was lucky it still happened during the 80s. I mean he failed multiple drug tests during the '88 US trials and they swept it under the rug. Unbelievable. The cover up only failed with BALCO & Marion Jones but only because it stretched beyond track & field and there was no way they could cover this up anymore.

 

yeah, if it wasn't for the names of Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, they would have covered up also that sh*t...I'm pretty sure of that...

 

Luckily, some real superstars (or at least recognized as that by the average US audience) that have nothing to do with Olympic sports saved us and the IOC from another epic coverup...

I didnt see any special results in 200 either.  

 

 

 

Bolt ran the 200m below 20 secs when he was 16, if I remember well...

 

and at the same age won the Junior Worlds in Kingston (2002)...

 

in 2004 (when he was just 18) he was the huge favourite to repeat himself and he was also among the theoretical medal candidates for the Athens Games, but an injury before the Junior Worlds stopped him from competing at both those events...

 

so, yes...he was already an established 200m specialist well before 2008...he was not coming out of nowhere...

 

still, his "mastermind"/mentor being Loren Seagrave, make everything he achieved in his career at least suspect...

Apparently now is almost sure, Alex Schwazer's antidoping test was tampered in Losanna and Alex was clean.

That's a big shame, i'm not a fan of Alex but this is an unprecedented severity

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
