Su has always been a 60m specialist, could never hold it in the last 40m.   Seems to have changed now.

Surprising last semi final.  We'll see how that affects their final.

No, he miss the final by 0.10s

european record also from Marcell Jacobs

[Adriano 590]

So runners from US/Jamaica or Asian can run very fast. "White European" are slower.

My initial reaction that this was a "fluke" semi-final and they won't be able to repeat it on the same night, but maybe I am wrong. I hope I am because it would be a bit anticlimactic if the fastest time won't be in the final. 

[Adriano 590]

So first white person is BROWNING Rohan with 10,09? (non Asians, no America?)

That's what often happens in the 100m.

First of all this isn't true for women and even for men it probably isn't, just because one asian guy had one fast time. Lemaitre and Tortu for example also have been sub 10.
