t-and-f: Scratch one, maybe two, from Edmonton

I haven't noticed either of these items on the list, so I thought I'd pass them along: Reuters has reported that Glory Alozie has switched her citizenship from Nigeria to Spain and therefore cannot compete in Edmonton because she represented Nigeria in Sydney.

Re: t-and-f: Scratch one, maybe two, from Edmonton

Interesting quote from Borzakovskiy provided by the organisers of today's meeting in Glasgow: There is still two months to go before the World championships and, as long as I am fit, I should be there for a medal. There was a slight scare about burning myself out but, with only running a few

Re: t-and-f: Runners Form

Byron makes a good point. The exercise physiologists talk about efficiency by describing the amount of oxygen consumed at a sub-max effort like in a long distance race. A runner is more efficient if less oxygen per kilogram of body weight per second is used at a specific pace than an other

Re: t-and-f: Runners Form

So, based on the Byron Dyce and Tom Derderian posts re: efficiency of form, is it safe to assume that a guy like Canadian, Paul McCloy (a guy we called 3 lane McCloy because one had to go all the way out to lane three to get around him and his form), may have actually been an efficient long

t-and-f: Borzakovskiy

Getting watch Borzakovskiy again on TV at the meet in Rome reminded how explosive a talent he is. It was never more evident than in his heat at the Olympics (I think the semis). Even when he doesn't win, his ability to turn it on and his incredibly smooth form make me think he will be the guy

You need to find your 'clout' in Hooterville. Eugene has a small army restaurateur/event vendors who specialize in this work awaiting your tantara call to mobilize. It would have taken little effort to find one (I can think of three off-hand) to assist you in such an extemporaneous epicurean

Re: t-and-f: A China syndrome to be avoided

Perhaps sport has been made that morally threadbare by the drugs and the money it found after pimping itself to TV. Perhaps the spirit has been made that dark by the scandals radiating around those who run sport. Maybe there is no sense left in expecting a higher ethical standard therein.
