That Ottey could clock a 10.99, or Johnny Gray could run a 1:46, or Eamon Coghlan, Steve Scott and John Walker could all take legitate shots at a 3:59 mile, all at age 40, is not so unbelievable given where they are coming from. Of COURSE they should be able to do it or come close. The reason it

Re: t-and-f: Al-Sabee 8.33m at Asian Champs!

Yes it was legal. I was there, I do not remember the wind, but if there was any it would have been a headwind. That 8.33 tied his personal best, and he also had a 8.30 from behind the board. If he can put it together in Sydney he will be a definite factor. He is quite capable of going 8.50.
