Dwain Chambers 6.46 Mens 60m final European champsionsips 2009

[RoonProductions]

I think he needs to work on his plyometrics he's got enough power

[LewisDre4m]

@RoonProductions plyometrics?

[ashhgreaves]

Um..plyo builds power???

[simonslon]

He have to run 100m in stead, that is too short for him.

[TYPHOONATHLETE96]

watch the berlin final he was ahead in the first 50-60 metres then the others just closed on him

[jigglyfidda125]

dwayne is the fastest man in europe without DRUGS!!

[devidia]

@jigglyfidda125 lemaitre dude, lemaitre...

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

7.47 when i was 13 at high school aw well wasted my life lol. man if you have a talent pursuit it all the way or you will never know how good you could have become.

[molinobeer]

how old are you now?

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

23 now

[molinobeer]

not to late, actually is very very in time to start again!!! Seriously i advise you to start trainning immideatly!!

[TRYTHIS6500]

my time is 6.98

[juanbollozzy]

pickering is rapid but hes not doin soo good at the mo and will defoo show up for 2012 and hes drug free !!!!!!!!!

unlike the other 2

[gangst3]

i got 7,47 XD but if you but hurdle in there i got 8,08

[comaslo]

my time is 7,16

[SamuelMcGuffie]

Pickering is the fastest he's ever been and just never put it together in the winter. It is only training for spring anyway. Anybody who says white sprinters suck watch cerutti, blum, pickering, dariusz kuc, and christophe lemaitre run some very fast times this summer at very young ages.

[chazman20495]

im white and im fast :D

[deshca]

You can't blame them for saying so since no white sprinter made it into even the semi final in Beijin.

[dls2779]

yeah, I think pickering has the most talent out of all of them. The problem is his running style. He is running through pure strength and almost no technique. He reminds me of the american Walter Dix. They have similar styles only pickering wont be successful if he continues to run that way. Just being honest. He needs to loose a little weight and stop swinging his arms like a bird.

[conali]

@dls2779 i think talent wise dwain has more out of the three... obviously these days he's getting old, but at the age when chambers was spinting 9.97 for bronze at the world champs in seville... pickering was getting beat in the euro u23s by williamson, creating a pb which still stands today

[dls2779]

@ Conali --Its tough to say that dwain is not more talented then pickering. Regardless of the doping, I think Dwain was just naturally fast, but Pickering has a lot of potential. I guess thats what I ment. I hope Pickering could move forward cuz it looks like he reached his peak.

[PickeringFanSite]

You know nothing about track to talk smack. Stupid ignorant asshole! Sub 10 coming to a track soon. You have to belive before you can acheive!

[SamuelMcGuffie]

If you gave that race 40 more meters craig would have came in second with a 10.0x . Give that a good start and wind behind him and thats a sub 10!

[800lbgorillainc]

from reading these comments it sounds like alot of these people dont play sports, he changed his form that is why he is faster, as you know runners, such as football players and track runners change their running style all the time to get faster, if your fast with no technique then you are slower then the slow guy with a great running technique

[jerrymclos]

Bolt run 9.72 ,i dunno when it was though but he sertenly ran under ten seconds b4 his 9.69 ! i agree Ethanace.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

That was 2008 you idiot. His best time of 2007 was 10.03.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

I think Pickering will beat cerutti in the outdoor season though. Both have a good chance at going sub 10, along with dariusz kuc who has run 10.17 before.

[JohnSullivanSumner]

I am surprised so few people are unaware that bolt didn't even break ten seconds until 2008. If that is not suspicious you guys know nothing about track. he is right, bolt ran a PB of 10.03 in 2008.

[jerrymclos]

plus bolt run 9.72 in 2007 u domn shyt ,don't type fake shyt to prove a point.

[jerrymclos]

AHAHA Samuel u sound jalouse i cant beleive u dont notice it urself. black people are faster ,so wat , did u see black people bragging about it on this page, stop waisting ur time making silly comments cuz it just shows how u got female charactaristics, usain bolt didnt beg his speed for u to give him ,so shut up !! u and ur black people cant swim cuz theyr bones is denser ahahaha domn ass.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

saying bolt didnt cheat and went from a 10.03 sec 100 in 2007 to a 9.55ish is 2008 (w/o chest bump) is like saying that a girl could be the fastest human alive. it just cannot happen. height only slightly helps bolt, but we are not going to see taller sprinters. je is an exception because he doesnt screw up his start. all of jamaica is on roids you ignoramus.

[mjdFT9]

are you joking? bolt almost relies on his height completely, his steps are massive and all the other sprinters move their legs quicker. look at him breaking the world record with 9.72. gay would've beaten him had they been the same height

[Ethanace]

Yeah course, all Jamaicans are on steroids...

So how come I qualified at the age of 16 to compete at District standard at just over 11 seconds and I happen to be part Jamaican?

Bolt never ran as slow as 10.03. He ran under ten seconds many years ago. He was running 9.7 seconds for years. He dropped 9.72 to 9.69, not much of a massive-breakthrough for him, is it?

[SamuelMcGuffie]

Probably because you are not that fast. I am probably faster than you and I don't train. I ran an 11.3 and trac isn't even my main sport. Secondly Bolt didn't break ten seconds until 2008, HE RAN 10.03 IN 2007 YOU PIECES OF SCUM. 10.03!!!!

You guys are so dumb you are making up times for him.

[Ethanace]

And Asafa Powell also ran a time of slower than that, 10.22... he jogged in the Osaka games with good reason becasue he sprained his ankle, doesn't mean he takes steroids the rest of the time fucking dumbass

[SamuelMcGuffie]

I would also like to add to anyone who thinks that white athletes cant compete with blacks that the men who won 2nd and 3rd in this very european championship meet alone were white. Their names are fabio cerrutti and emaluele di gregorio. Cerrutti is also on pace to break ten seconds. You are so blind you neglected to look at the video posted, and jumped straight towards the comments. This makes me believe you dont admire track at all, but just like fighting.

[superdave31]

also its a shame chambers cheated really - if he didnt britain would have a sprinter who although not as fast as bolt - we could still be proud of

But how thigns turned out!

[jivetome]

i really thought chambers would be the next great athlete of england. sadly he resorted to the easy way out, and it clearly didn't help as he never broke sub-10 afterwards.

if only he made the right choice...

[superdave31]

whats funny is i drive at 28mph in my car and it honestly doesnt feel fast. But then what i froget is that these guys run at that speed within like 1 second or something lol (or at least like 24mph or something)... and although it may 'feel' fast in a car, if we tried running it - it would be impossible!

[ToMMuFc92uk]

Pickering is so shit

[superdave31]

pickering has one majkor disadvantage in that he is white

[Kozzy06]

haha true, damm true.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

but cerutti, blum, and lemaitre dont have this "innate" disadvantage. his only disadvantage is he has to use sunscrean you racist cunt.

[superdave31]

dude, name me the last white male in an olympic 100m final and also give me the yr (that will prove my point)

If pickering goes below 10 seconds then thats great, he has the title of first white man below 10 seconds. but ultimately black ppl are the fastest runenrs

Your probably one of these politicaly correct people. welli couldnt give a fuck, black people are faster if u think thats racist then thats ok u think that

[SamuelMcGuffie]

Youre an idiot. Christophe Lemaitre is white and at 18 years old hes on pace to brak 9.7 sec. To answer your question allan wells got the gold in 1980, but I don't see the relevance. White sprinters are here now, and there are about 10 running this season who are improving and running below 10.1 sec. Stop posting comments about track if you know nothing about it.

[PickeringFanSite]

People may or may not like it, but there is a revival of white sprinters from europe. They are making strides unlike the whites in the US who play video games all day! Lemaitre is a once in a life time sprinter with incredible genetics. Also look out for Christian Blum and we can't foget Pickering. Lol.

[Nyame30]

Pickering is shit.

[wiley1]

Your a dumb ass. Anyone who competes at this level is 1000 times the athlete that you could ever be. This summer will see some really fast times!

[MrKarlozz]

his style is shit, but some talent he has

[superdave31]

ok well you let me know when hes done that time because i dont expect you to exer contact me because no white man is ever going to run that fast

Ok i dont know as much about runing as you do but i know enough to say that the genetics for running fast are far more common in black people than white people - and even the white people that do have those genetics (when it comes to the worlds best runners) are no where near the best black ppl

[SamuelMcGuffie]

Smart money says you can't name five sorinters and their best times, thus giving you the stereotype that blacks are faster. Go over to Europe and say that and they will laugh at you. Most of their sprinters are white, and the black population is similar to America. Geneticists say that we are 99.9% the sam in any race, and you think the difference is speed? More like darker skin and curly hair.

[superdave31]

dude - beijing, athens, sydney - its pretty much all black people in the finall

Also you say how that one french white kid is one course to run 9.7 seconds in the 100m - lol my ass is he. Usain Bolt was runing the times he is running NOW when usain bolt was like 16... there is no way he is going to get much faster

i dont see what you see so offensive about itl ol black people are naturally faster runners. just like black people are shit swimmers.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

Black people are worse swimmers because they have denser bones, and also very few ever do it competitively. They can also be good hockey players if they want too be. Bolt went from running a 10 flat in 2007 to a 9.69 while slowing down in 2008. Go ask your local track coach about how possible that is, then check what carl lewis had to say about it (who did stimulants himself). And Lemaitre is faster for his age then Bolt btw. Bolt is a cheat and soon will be exposed. Just wait.

[superdave31]

Usain Bolt did not cheat. The amount of drugs test he took. Also what you forget is people are going based on previous knowledge. not so long ago they thought tall people could not be fast runners / 100m runners as they didnt have the starting power.

Usain bolt has just proved everyones theories completely wrong. Just like how their 'theory' on his time decreases will be com[pletely wrong. they wil just be going with previous knowledge of how smaller ppl cant decrease their times like that

[SamuelMcGuffie]

"usain bolt did not sheat," he says. hahahahahahahahahahahaHAHAAHAH­AHAAHAHA

[superdave31]

ok now i definately know what kinda idiot i am dealing with

[SamuelMcGuffie]

One who knows toplists, world recorrds, banned athletes, steroids, and the nuances of track and field by heart.

[superdave31]

well im sure if i had a big interest in sprinting i could learn all that too but the stuff ur coming out with makes me think ur an idiot lol.

Im prety certain we will enver hear bolt is on roids

i mean look at his body shape for a start, anyone who does roidsdoes not look like that ie.. lanky and skinny.

Just remember not so long ago people thought the world was flat, to say the world was round back then everyone would have laughed at you. Just like ppl cant accept tall ppl can now run fast

[SamuelMcGuffie]

That's just the propoganda the Jamaicans will tell you. But their country has all significantly improved their sprinting times. And if Bolt is skinny then Ive never seen a muscular person. Have you ever seen his legs? He probably squats about 800 lbs.

[DirectorRichie]

chambers won easy!!!!!!!

[fourseven4]

british 100m runners other than chambers are all amazing in their own respect but bums compared to the competition, i see two countries when i watch sprinting, USA and JAM... if Chambers was allowed to run in the olympics maybe we wudda done ok but thts it

[superdave31]

yeh but hes a cheating coon

[Kozzy06]

and your a stupid cracker.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

If I ran a 100m in the low tens I would have a confidense orgasm. Dont wory trillionmidnight, craig will do fine, like PFS below said, his arms need adjusting and he needs to stay lower out of blocks. The only person who has a higher top speed than him is Bolt though.

[RBGdUP]

lol did you just say Craig is second to Bolt in top end speed???? You've lost it dude.

Craig has an okay start but he goes flat after 60 dude, he's like Trindon or Travis Padgett. they are short so they have explosive jumps but they just go flat because they just aren't physically able to do what Bolt, Tyson Gay, Asafa(when he wants to), Walter Dix, and others are able to do on the top end. but Craig doesn't even belong in that conversation dude.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

I dont feel like arguing with people who are only knowledgible with the results of the olympics or the people in the finals. You watch what happens this year, dude.

[RBGdUP]

no dude, i actually run myself, so i know what im talking about. When has Craig ever shown top end speed? thats not his strong point. He is a compact explosive runner like Travis Padgett or Trindon Holliday. In top form he could probably beat Bolt in the first 30-50m but after that it isn't even a race, Bolt could jog it out and dust him.

[RBGdUP]

I think more than anything Bolt is changing the way we phsyiologically see sprinters. At first people thought guys over say 6'3 were best suited for mid distance sprints. But now we see its almost impossible to generate Usain's top end speed without his combination of lower body power and length.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

watch him race kim collins this year. He pulls a 6.58 sleeping out of the bloacks. that is when he shows top end speed.

[RBGdUP]

oh my bad, i got you all wrong, i thought we were talking about 100m top end speed. if we are talking about 60m top speed, he's definitely in the conversation, i think Trindon seperates well in the 60 as well Chambers too obviously. I'd like to see what more Jacoby Ford is able to do as well, he is supremely talented. Another guy to look at come next years NCAA T&F Championships is a high school kid named Devon Smith, he went 6.63 in Roxbury, incredibly talented kid

[SamuelMcGuffie]

Ya I was talking about the 60. But I do think that craig will improve his top end speed, Trindon is too short though. Devon Smith is pretty good, but so many athletes fall from grace between highschool and the pros.

[RBGdUP]

Very true. i wish he would stick to track, but he's gonna put all 150 pounds of himself out there on the football field. Not a good look if you ask me, but hey if thats the sport he loves.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

I guess whatever makes him happy. If getting tossed around like a rag doll does it for him then so be it.

[RBGdUP]

don't be a hater, Jacoby Ford(though bulked up) is a little dude who has become a good player(i hear at least). You can't hit what you can't catch. I think Devon will be running in the low 6.5's in a little while if he competes in the off seasons

[RBGdUP]

I just took a peak at your profile, and if you think im some racist who wants to see Craig fail, you've got me ALLLLLL wrong. I like his potential and i like seeing smaller guys(like myself) excell. I think he can go sub 10 with some good training. the same for Trindon and Padgett who i previously mentioned. But the landscape of sprinting has changed, sub 10 really isn't enough any more. But i do look for Craig to surprise the sprinting world com WC time.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

I don't think you are a racist I just think you haven't watched him race enough. You should know that most sorinters have a top end spedd about 28mph. Craig has been lacking a start and drive phase because he crosses his arms and should stay lower in drive phase with head down.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

and btw trindon does not die always hes held his own against sprinters such as richard thompson and is teetering on seconnds. As long as you are taller than 5'8" you are good. I justdont think a 5'5" person can improve much more.

[SamuelMcGuffie]

*ten seconds

[PickeringFanSite]

Pickering is not even close to his prime. Trust me on that. He will scare some people soon once he gets his body mechanics corrected. Craig has one thing that Dwain has. POWER! He just has to fix his form and he will.

[trillionmidnight]

the best british runner at moment by far craig pickering needs to get mind right if ever going to challenge chambers always looks beatdown when interviewed simeon might be the one too challenge though

[SamuelMcGuffie]

Pickering will run a very fast 100m this year. He'll beat williamson but lose to chambers by .1 to ..15 sec. His indoor starts werent lookin good thiis year. The 100m is much more forgiving, I see him at 10.0x maybe under 10 once or twice this year.

[trillionmidnight]

maybe but the guys confidence is at an all time low dont think hes got the mental toughness too take on big guns on the track seems worried about everybody except himself

[SamuelMcGuffie]

Hes young. The 100m is a long race where if you lose .1 you can still get a good time. His confidence will come back with one good race. I can guarentee it. What do you mean by big guns. Obviously hes not taking down bolt anytime soon, but maybe 2012 in his home country.

[trillionmidnight]

yeah he will run fast just not when it counts to me he seems to crack under the pressure maybe if dawain was not there he would improve at this time hes struggling simeon seems to be improving faster than him too

[jman375]

still on the gear then

[Nyame30]

U would like to think so u pathetic shit.

[jman375]

It's obvious silly.

He's never gonna be in the Olympics.

What ever happened to him playing Rugby,American football,Cricket.

There;s still tidlewinks left

[shaunaldinho11]

so glad he won, keep up the good work

[denleyh]

I wish he could run for GBR in the olympics.

[PickeringFanSite]

Congrats to Chambers. He was explosive out of the blocks the whole meet. Pickering has to fix his start but he will be fine by the outdoor season.

[pdickson642]

was good to see 3 british sprinters in such a big final!

[conali]

4 brits

[leeg131313]

no where near as good as the chambers campbell francis and gardener days

[pdickson642]

quick upload! what a runner, served his time trained hard and now hes back better then ever! it would be good to see him race Bolt..

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

he is going to line up against bolt in Berlin 100m. top run he is the best britain has got end of.

[pdickson642]

i no, i was reading that there, i hear there trying to get powell and gay! hope they all go be good to see it!

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

oh yeah that would be somthing else. would be good to see how he fairs.

[lennard]

Thought he was going to break a world record, but good run.

[jajon123]

added this quickly ...

[telkwa]

Thanks for the quick upload.
