heywoodu 13,545 Posted June 5, 2021 #212 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Ugh, it's annoying when media mix up their facts At the JOA/JAAA Destiny Series Meet at the National Stadium in Kingston, Fraser-Pryce ran 10.63 for a new Jamaican record. The mark is the second-fastest by a female sprinter, only behind American Florence Griffith-Joyner’s (Flo Jo) 10.49 done in 1988. No it's not. It's the fourth fastest time, she is the second-fastest female sprinter. Those are not equal things. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Grassmarket 2,754 Posted June 6, 2021 #213 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Mo Farah flopped in the Birmingham 10,000m last night. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/57372151 Theoretically still has more chances, but the form looks to be a long way short of anything other than a humiliation.

Grassmarket 2,754 Posted June 6, 2021 #217 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Off we go in Hengelo with Sifan Hassan going in another 10,000m. Magic 70s disco lights being featured, but no accompanying Boney M soundtrack. Separate pacemakers for the Hassan group & for an OQT group. 6 minutes in & Hassan is already solo - apart from a bellowing Jos Hermans - in her WR attempt. Up on WR time at 5000m Has lapped the field. Smashes it! Over 10 secs off the WR. phelps and dcro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
