t-and-f: Jon Entine

Two statements by Jon Entine written in different postings recently That makes 800 meters very much a distance race. I'll say it again: Athletes of West African ancestry (African Americans in particular) will NEVER become great long distance runners. By any standard Johnny Gray was a great

Re: t-and-f: Entry list for Cardinal Invitational

I agree. One thing that annoys me is scanning through a results sheet and seeing the same event being staged umpteen different times only with different titles that make it difficult to establish which is the main one. Calling them 'A' and 'B' makes it obvious which is the more important.

t-and-f: Entine, debate, this list and my goodbye.

Hi All Amazing how two people can watch the same debate yet draw diametrically opposite conclusions. I think that the treatment Jon Entine has received on this list has been a disgrace. In his recent exchanges he has been painfully accurate, avoiding any of the sorts of generalisations for

t-and-f: 800/1500m Comparo of different decades of super-stars

This talk of what kind of correlation in ability exists between 400/800m and 800/1500m has hatched a question from me: Out of the greatest Middle-distance runners ever (based on time), how come the SUPER-Studs of the 90's are so far behind in the 800m? Starting with the first stars of the '90's

Considering the fact that my message was the one quoted, I feel a little, well let's not call it guilt, but responsibility, at least with respect to the debate about Mr. Entine. I'm sorry to see you leave this list; I've lurked since 1996 (via the digest) and always read your postings with

t-and-f: Healthy skepticism

I don't know what want needs to show healthy skepticism. My ONLY absolute statement is that patterned population biology plays a role in sports success and that cultural exaggerates those small but (at the elite level) critical differences. That's it. That's the essence of moderation. Do I
