No finish times discussed here, but Antonio Pettigrew must have been
laying down or sleeping to get a reaction time like 0.298 in the 400m
final (.105 slower than anyone in the race). This cost him the bronze. I
know he likes to start slow and finish strong, but

Has anyone been watching the BBC coverage of the WCh!?
What on earth is Cathy Freeman doing in the studio on BBC!?
She can comment on anything! I never heard Freeman talking
before, but her stupidity completely astound me. What is

Must be a milestone in US tf history to award a 4th place on the men's 400.

While the reaction time was terrible, Pettigrews first 200 was even worse.
How someone could figure that they could run that slow in a major champ. and
catch anyone is be on belief. Antonio said he was in the final because he
outsmarted all the younger runners. Give me a break.
Can't believe

Some random observations of last night's action on ESPN:
1. Michael Johnson hit it head on when he said Marion's form was off. Her
right leg has always flared out a little, but this was ridiculous. If you
have it on tape, watch the last 1 or 2 steps of the final and it is almost
surprising she
Can't believe America doesn't have a 44 second quartermiler.
Yes, it's amazing how the minute MJ retires the rest of the US talent
disappears too. Where are they? I know Tyree Washington is injured, but
what happened to the Davis brothers? And Maybank is totally MIA - has he

We shouldn't be in much trouble in the 4x1 ... We still have Montgomery and

may have been chosen over Johnson anyway) ... And John Drummond is available

I should know the answer to this but am not sure. Last night on his winning

right side of the runway when he lands after the step or second phase of the
