I hate to rehash an old topic but I can't resist. Suzy Hamilton! I don't understand what the love affair (er, excuse affair)some people on this list have for the woman. I read some of the posts on this distance dominated list that downplay both sprints and sprinters yet most excuse gutsy

1. Since when does a 3:57 1,500 meters equal mediocrity? Since it wasn't done until this year and she still hasn't done anything on the world stage. Suzy is still the Anna Kournikova of track. malmo PS I don't think that Anna K. is all that attractive. She looks like any one of

Re: t-and-f: Now can we talk about cross?

The NCAA cross country cap is 256 runners. Create 4 super-regions, each with 80 teams (1/4th. the membership). 8 teams and 8 individuals qualify out of each super-region. 32x7+4x8=256. Because 80 teams is too many to run at once at most courses, cut the field in half by stipulating that only

Re: t-and-f: Suzy revisited

Internationally, she has done less than Joetta Clark, Jearl Clark, and far less than Henry Marsh, but she is the one tauted at nationals, and profiled at the Games. A very disturbing pattern in the lore of Nike and track. Disturbing. I don't know about that. Nike's apparently pretty smart.

There you have it. Our resident pharmacologist (Buck Jones Ph.D.) says no to dehydration from Relafin. The admission by Suzy that she may have an anxiety problem that manifests itself when she is about to be passed seems to be more plausible. At least she's a competitor! malmo!TM RWD: So

Suzy's fall was caused by 1. A complex set of physiological factors as described by Jim Hunt which I must say some of the assertion were dubious at best. In particular the assertion that she was glycogen depleted. I can post why that was incorrect another time if questioned. Or Suzy

I'll be honest. First, I didn't have time to read all the posts during the Oly frenzy. Second, I didn't stomach to read the ad naseum posts that were part of the typical overkill of singular, inane topics. So, maybe someone made mention of this and I missed it. And, if I did, and I'm

Re: t-and-f: Suzy Hamilton Interview = High Anxiety

I can envision the mess in here if a sprinter admitted to having an anxiety problem. We can go on and on about this, the truth hurts sometimes. Truth: The 4x100m offended some people. Truth: Suzy is not the star she has been billed to be. She has continually faltered in the heat. And yes,
