WA set the date wrong on the live stream for the Yokohama meet so I thought it was on today. 🙄

Renan Gallina, a 18 years old brazilian ran 100m in 10,01s yesterday, it was the 5th best time ever in his category (u20).

 

I hope he will be the first brazilian  ever to broke the 10s barrier.

Enjoying the early stages of this.  How is it that all amateur club athletes know that if you are being lapped, it’s your responsibilityto run into an outside lane & get out of the better runners’ way?   
 

Yet hardly any elite professional Olympic athletes ever bloody well do it?
