amazing, bob hayes ran 10.05 47 yrs ago to win the gold medal in the 64 olympics 100m(ON DIRT TRACK)all these guys today with modern equipment and on modern
surface tracks running right at what hayes ran on cinder. fastest football player of all time bob hayes, i can imagine what he would have run the 100meters on todays surfaces.
my lil dawg bradley sylve ran a 10.58 as a freshmen and ran a 10.30 as a sophmore now its his junior yr. yall watch out for da next lsu star in track and football he also plays football he da fastest person in high school in louisiana her from PORT SULPHUR, LOUISIANA
naw my boy, Brandon Stewart is one of the fastest ppl in the south, hes 15 and he qualified to run in Italy for the junior Olympics, this past summer. he didnt go though. Shreveport la
Yeah ur right ur dude might be one of the fastest in the state n i dont knock him or nuthing but as of right now Bradley Sylve is the fastest in the state of louisiana he qualified for the italy olympics..jus look him up on google
high school isnt lazer timed...so they arent even exact times its like the average of 3 idiots with fucking stop watches....so you cant even take those into consideration when comparing to olympic or college times...
I'd be surprised if u didnt run faster than 10.8 ur sophomore year. my freshman year i was at 11.7, my sophomore year i was at 10.8 and 10.9. just train smart!
Track isn't a "white" sport. It's not white encouraged, if that makes sense.
There aren't any great black hockey players or skiers, that doesn't mean that blacks are incapable of playing hockey or skiing. It just means it's not an encouraged sport within that demographic.
If you watch Winter Olympics, it's about 99% white. That's just because those are the sports whites go for. But physical ability has nothing to do with race.
I AM WHITE AND I DISAGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT. I believe that ''black'' people tend to have fast twitch muscles so they tend to be naturally faster than ''whites'' but that dose not mean that they tend to stay away from the sport. sport is about equality!!!!! not superiority!!!!! be grateful for our races differences!!!!I
Black people tend to have fast twitch muscles? How does a person "tend" to have fast twitch muscles? Can you show some scientific evidence, perhaps a study, that backs your claim that blacks tend to have more fast twitchers than whites?
ok, heres the deal, people from east africa (kenya, ethiopia) tend to have more endurance than just about anyone else in the world, people from west africa (and because of the slave trade, the carribean) tend to have the best fast twitch muscles in the world, so yes, your heritage can make a huge difference in your speed, and people descendant from west africa tend to be the fastest
Okay, I asked for a scientific explanation or a study. You saying it's so doesn't make it so.
Fast twitch muscles are required for every power sport. About 95% of notable powerlifters and strongman competitors are white and from scandinavian countries. Both powerlifting and strongman competitions are almost entirely dependent on fast twitch muscles. Why aren't there any black powerlifters or strongman record holders?
This idea that blacks tend to have the "best" fast twitch muscles is complete B.S. There is no genetic difference between blacks and whites as far as muscle fibers are concerned. If anyone thinks so, show me the science. I don't wanna hear some pseudo scientific claim like "blacks have more pure genes" or w/e.
As far as running, powerlifting, etc. is concerned, it's not that blacks have different muscles than whites. It's a cultural thing. Nothing more.
@BenjaminPipic actually it is proven that most jamaicans generally have longer achilles heels and the fast twitch muscle thing is true whether u wanna believe it or not
What's the difference between Jamaican blacks and American blacks? There isn't any so this "study" that "Jamaicans have longer blah blah" is nonsense. The only difference is the boat that they came off of.
@BenjaminPipic I'm not God so I don't know, but then why do you generally (if not every time) see blacks and not whites in sprinting events. I think sprinting is a strength for blacks and not necessarily for whites. How many blacks do you see do swimming? That is mostly whites because that is their strength.
Like I said earlier in my comments, it's cultural.
It's the same thing with boxing; most boxers are hispanic or black, most MMA fighters are white. It's not strength, it's black and white culture that draws individuals to certain sports.
@TotalDistinction I don't mean to be racist, but black people who come from slaves were bred, the strongest pair of men and women, tragically led to a more athletic afro american people. Speed is all in the genes, if you were to breed white people in the same manner for 100's of years, you would then see them able to compete in the sprints. Eg. Ivet Lalova from Bulgaria, her parents were mediocre sprinters, Ivet blazes a 10.77 faster than her fathers time! It can happen in one generation.
no u shouldn't. there are high school girls who run those times as their fastest. I mean, you're only in the eighth grade. You have plenty of time to get better. i actually think that's pretty good.
not as a God dang freshman! we run track all over the south and hes had one of the fastest sprinters for his age in the south! and the fastest 100 meter time for any high schooler was 10.00 by Jeff Demps last year at the U.S. Olympic trials! so aint no way in hell these Texas boyz running collegiate times!!!
Man my boy Trindon took 3rd. Man he got a brite fututre just like me. I am exactly like him. I am a real fast sprinter and and good football player. Man he is my inspiration. I think he has a future in both sports. He would be a crazy return man and fast sprinter.
It had nothing to do with saving for the Olympics, Dix was battling a hamstring injury all season and as such didn't have time to train and wasn't even completely healthy in this race, hence why his start was so bad. He actually didn't even compete for the first time until about a month before the 08 NCAA championships. So he missed the majority of the outdoor season. And if you remember Richard Thompson beat Dix again in the Olympic 100m finals in Beijing.
oh yeah i forgot about thompson in the olympics... he is so overlook because of usain. im suprised dix was able to do as well as he did in this race now i had completely forgotten about the hamstring injury. his olympic race was great tho, every one wrote him off and was expecting a duel between usain and gay.
I really dont watch college track and field but what I do notice is that in olympic years the majority of the NCAA champs don't amount to anything in the trials. Take these NCAA's for example the 100m top 2 USA guys did not even make the finals it was Dix the 4th place guy who did something in the trial he made the 100 and 200. So I have come to the conclusion that while others were thinkig NCAA tittle Dix was thinking Olympics. So why do these NCAA champs "choke" in the trials?
I know but I was speaking in regards to USA track athletes. I dont want to come thrue as bias or impartial but I dont care much for runners in other countries only USA athletes.
well i don't know, i just personally think Walter Dix is the most talented collegiate runner. There is only one flaw in his race, while it is a giant flaw, and that is his start. It takes him about 30-40m before he can really get into the next gear and get that turnover going, but when he does its lights out. With more training i think he'll be a special talent. Trindon Holliday on the other hand is the exact opposite, he starts like a bullet but he doesn't have any top-end speed.
Its not that they choked in the olympic trials, other's think bigger.Dix(fsu)knew what he needed to do so that his team could win in the NCAA championships.Dix, comming off an injury, did enough so that his team could win and not to reinjure his hammy.Remember, dix won the 100 and 200 last year, so at this point, he is thinking olympics. Dix did not run full speed, but he needed to place at least 4th.If you look at the trial times, dix killed the other's NCAA times. Dix just played it smart.
Its true alot of college guys don't do very well in Olympic trials and the only reason I can really think of besides more pressure is that the collegiate athletes train to peak at their conference championships while the pros train to peak at those trails then again in the Olympics. It is probably to hard to switch into the pro schedule right after the college season.
Padgett is the truth but he needs to loosen up a bit. After 60 meters he tightens up and the last 20 meters he can barely move his legs. He should have qualified in the olympics if he would have relaxed and thats why that unknown at this level closed in on him and took the 3rd and final spot at the trials.
"Travis Padgett a complete unkown at this level..." Who is this guy giving the interview? The man needs to do his research. 2 years ago he finishes 4th as a freshman, 1 year ago he finishes 3rd as a sophomore and this year he finishes 2nd. Not too mention the kid runs a 9.89 today in the quarterfinal for the U.S. Olympic 100m team.
