t-and-f: Webb's impressive race

Unfortunately I was still stuck in a stadium in Ingolstadt (why couldn't it have been Goetzis?) and wasn't able to see the EuroSport telecast of Pre (which was live here, by the way). It will be repeated on Tuesday morning, fortunately. Although the times would suggest that Sullivan was never

Jon Drummond's number was made by the officials in the call room with a hip number on the back side of  a race nmber because he didn't have one.  Furthermore he was charged with a false start that he didn't commit.

t-and-f: Sebrle not, not, not the first to breach 9000 points

It seems contemporary journalists writing about the decathlon are completely ignorant of the fact that over the long history of the event several different scoring tables have been used. Back at the 1963 Mt SAC relays the great Chinese Taipei athlete CK Yang scored a phenomenal 9121 points under

Just a quick note: Yang Chuang-Kwang's result at Walnut CA on 27/28 April 1963 is 8009 points on present tables and is still (!) standing National Record. Individual events: 10.7h 7.17 13.22 1.92 47.7h 14.0h 40.99 4.84 71.75 5:02.4h Kind regards, Mirko Jalava Tilastopaja Oy

t-and-f: breaking radio silence

OK, Pre was just sooo good yesterday that I have to (briefly) end my month-long silence and say a few words. How good was it? Let me put it this way; if it had been an evening meet I wouldn't have gotten any sleep last night because the adrenaline rush was so high that it took hours and hours

t-and-f: Webb no prima donna

after spending an extended period of time yesterday afternoon running intereference for Webb after his big race, gotta say I'm really impressed with his character. He has, as they say, really got his shit together. Object of huge adulation, but didn't let it go to his head in anyway. Remained

And their whole focus has changed what with his suddenly being the top seed (at least for now) for the USATF meet. In a CNN interview this morning, he said this coming weekend he'll be running his HS State meet, then the following week a national HS meet in Carolina, then back to Eugene for the

Hey folks, What a great meet at Prefontaine! Webb was inspiring, Greene was the sportsman of the day! I wonder if any opinions about the one false start rule have changed - I bet it would have sat Jarret in the blocks and kept him from stalingrad the race! On a sad note for those who

t-and-f: Top 3 American Performances of last 18 years...

Since young Alan Webb was born 18 years ago, I'd say his shattering of Jim Ryun's prep mile record ranks No. 2 on the Top American Distance Running Peformances during that time. No. 1--Joanie winning gold in LA No. 3--Bob Kennedy breaking 13:00 A tremendous milestone, in my book... Brian McGuire
