Video of Usain Bolt VS Christophe Lemaitre 200m Diamond League Paris 2011

Usain Bolt obviously has problem. A few weeks before he set the World record 19.19s in 2009, he ran 19.59s in the rain. Did you expect he is in 19.5 or 19.6 shape at the moment so he can run 19.1 or 19.2 in Daegu World championships?. Luckily for Bolt the American Tyson Gay is no longer relevant with the 2011 World championships. He won the IAAF Diamond League in Paris on July 08, 2011 with a less favorable time of 20.03s (-0.6). And it's not a comfortable wins as Christophe Lemaitre came very close in second in 20.21s. Darvis Patton was third in 20.59s.

No one ever got close to Bolt in 200m since he set 19.30s in Beijing 2008, but not as expected Lemaitre did. Not a great time for Bolt but he seems to retain his titles soon in Daegu, since Tyson Gay is out of the World championships.

If viewed from the consistency and timing, there is no reason for Lemaitre NOT running the 100m at the World champs as he is clearly better in 100m rather than 200m, but to be safe, take part in both 100m and 200m. Below is the video:

Sebastian Lee & Nittaya Chasuree Won Treble in ASG Singapore 2011 - Athletics Results Day 2

Malaysia's Sebastian Lee Azcona and Thailand's Nittaya Chasuree completed sprint trebles at 3rd Asean Schools Games (ASG) in Singapore after winning the 100m, 200m and 4x100m in the boys and girls categories respectively.

In the first day yesterday, Sebastian topped the sprint century in 10.97s, defeating two Singaporean sprinters and wins the 200m today in 21.93s (PB), upsetting another host sprinter Ng Chin Hui in second place (22.05s). He teamed-up in the 4x100m and once again excelled with another gold medal in 41.80s.

Meanwhile Nittaya Chasuree clocked 12.18s to win the girls 100m in an easy race, and after that rewritten the 200m meet record 24.88s set by Supawan Thipat last year with a new mark of 24.74s during the semifinals. In the finals she manage to win gold medal but clocking slower time 24.82s. Her third gold came from the 4x100m relays, setting 46.56s.

The 15-year-old Noor Shahidatun Nadia was unlikely competing against her real opponents in the Asean schools. During the 2010 edition in Kuala Lumpur she already won the gold medal in long jump at age of 14. With a personal record of 6.11m, she outclassed the long jump fields at the first day with a golden leap of 5.99m. She repeated the success when she won another gold at triple jump today with a distance of 12.21m.

Another outstanding performance was in the boys' 400m hurdles. Mohd Baihaqi Razlan of Malaysia set 52.64s in a solo run and eclipsed his own games record 52.95s. Silver medalist Leo Maholtra of Indonesia was more than 1.2 seconds behind.

Asafa Powell 9.78s World Lead, Michael Frater 9.88s PB, Christophe Lemaitre 9.95s NR - Video & Analysis

Asafa Powell positions himself as the favorite to win the Gold medal at the 2011 World championships in Daegu. He ran the fastest time in the World this year with 9.78s +1.0 during the Diamond League meet in Lausanne yesterday (30 June 2011). It was one hundredth of a second faster than Tyson Gay's mark set in June 04 in Florida. Powell's teammate Michael Frater was second in a new personal best time of 9.88s. Third place went to French's Christophe Lemaitre who equaled his European U-23 and National record 9.95s.

Another Jamaican Nesta Carter was fourth in 9.95s, some way off his personal record of 9.78s set last year. Despite of finishing in fifth, Norway's Jayasuma Saidy-Ndure became the second ever European sprinter to break the sub-10 and sub-20 (19.89s) after Francis Obikwelu (9.86s & 19.84s) when he finished in 9.99s in the race that saw him had a "nearly perfect reaction" 0.107s (below 0.100 = false start). Unlike Michael Frater who won't run in the individual event in the World championships, Jayasuma Saidy who trained by a renowned track coach John Smith will be gunning for medal in both 100m and 200m.

What can you say when looking at Michael Frater's 9.88s performance ?

Michael Frater has the same height with Andre Cason won have ran under 10s three times within 26 hours in 1993 (9.96s, 9.94, 9.92s). Both sprinters stands 1.70m (5ft 6-half) and have won medals in the World championships. For a record, 10.00 seconds is the benchmark for World class sprinters and only the very best dipped below.

It was said that human may not able to run below 10s at low-altitude, now we have hundreds of sub 10s at low-altitude. Tall sprinters (above 6 "3) may be hindered by the gravity and may not run as fast as expected but Usain Bolt (6ft 5ins) has already ripped up the rule book. A whiteman has no possibility to break the 10s barrier because of the 'genetic incompatibility', but Lemaitre has been very consistent to run sub 10s. Advances in technology, scientific training method, nutrition and supplementation and so on have no doubt helped the advance in performances, just hard work will be the bottom line.

After Andre Cason, Leo Myles Mills, Coby Miller, Trindon Holliday, Walter Dix etc, Frater once again demonstrates to the World that a short sprinter has no limit in terms of times, consistency and to win medal at the World championships.

What makes you think that NOT EVERYONE is able to hit (at least) the world class times 10.0 seconds ?!?
