I can't think of many worse places to hold the Olympics than Rio...

[Avante]

And lose possible endorsements and the big money...

No. Not to make a point. I'm sure the swimmers would enjoy the bigger audience though.

What endorsements and big $$$$ ? What 2012 black American Olympians got that? Name one.

[Avante]

Galen Rupp is probably a go for the 10k and the Marathon.

If he could medal in both IMO he would have accomplished more than any other US distance runner. The great Zatopek is the only Olympian to capture gold in both. But that was back a ways and before the age of specialists in track.

The two events are about a week apart with the 10k first so Rupp might have a chance. Rupp ran a 2:10 qualifier in pretty hot weather so it should be interesting. 1st time marathoners coming off the track like Rupp often crash and burn in their second marathon.

Anything over the mile....yawn.

A few little Olympic tid bits none of you are aware of.

The first female 100m champ was a 16 high year old USA HS girl named Betty (Elizabeth) Robinson. This was in 1932.

We all know about Jesse Owens, but only those like myself are aware of Eulace Pea . Pea owned Owens in the 100, he had a 7-3 advantage but due to an injury was unable to compete in our 36 Olympic trials. If he'd been in Berlin there is a good chance he wins the 100m. And, he had also beat Owens in the long jump.

The great Wilma Rudolph*** (polio as a child) who won three sprint gold medals in 1960 was the youngest of 22 children.

Francis Hussey was just a HS kid, his job was to lead off our 1924 Olympic 4x1 team. GB had the Olympic 100m gold medalist Harold Abrahams (Chariots of Fire) on lead off. Yep, you guessed it,the HS kid smoked the Olympic gold medalist, giving the USA a stunning two m lead, a lead they never lost.

Allen Woodring was only there in 1920 as an alternate on the 200m team. Due to an illness he would get his chance to compete. The favorite was fellow American Charles Paddock who had won the 100m gold already. Yep, Woodering beat him to become the only alternate to ever win an Olympic gold medal.

*** not sure about this but I think some of Forrest Gump was based on her story.


Look at the difference here in physique. Notice how effortless running fast is for someone built for speed.

Tyson Gay
Walter Dix

I should not say big but it's amazing for a sport that has so little interest outside the Olympics.

[pgardn]

Anything over the mile....yawn.

Any track outside of the Olympics you dumbass, in the US.
You yawn about distance and then go into great detail about stuff the exact same stuffbecause of.....yawn. Hypocrite Maximus

Walter Dix didn't make our 2012 Olympic team and Tyson Gay did next to nothing.

Joe Public sees track athletes as dopers and most companies don't want to be associated with a guy who at any time could be busted for PED's.

Dude, I could totally school your stupid ass on distance, or anything having to do with track, trust me.

Tell me stupid who was that guy who held the American record in the 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and the mile?

Talk to me about Tony Longboat.

You know absolutely next to nothing about being an athlete except watching on TV and reading lists.

What is the most common man made object found on almost ANY track in the US?

And I already asked your fatass this once before. You are supposed to have a great memory.

Stupid, I played organized football for 20 years, (played in three alumni games) ran track from 6th grade until I graduated and have been lifting since I was 15 and can totally school your dumb ass in anything having to do with football and track. So wrong once again which is a habit of yours.

Now answer my question er, who was it that held every American record from the 50-mile, well?

Who was Tony Longboat, ya have no clue do ya stupid?

[Avante]

We will be seeing something rare in Rio, a fast white sprinter.

Answer the question.

Answer the question.

Wrong again. I was a RB/cornerback/kick returner/100/4x1 sprinter. Played 15 years city league fooball and was over 40 in my last HS alumni game. Damn you're stupid.

Now tell me who was it that held the American record in the 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and the mile, come on ya ing moron, ANSWER THE QUESTION.

A few years ago I posted some pictures of my den right here. One was of all my football trophies.

Stupid, ya want me to talk about SE in the 100m and the importance of being able to maintain/sustain a high % of MV?

You were voted MVP twice in a flag football league playing defensive line.

So the QBs and WR in your league must have sucked if a Dline guy got a trophy. Those are the guys with no coordination.

I had no business playing defensive line. That is why I stood out in that role. Guys with my quicks/speed play offense. The thing was I came to that team late, they already had the offfense set but needed a pass rusher. So instead of playing part time on offense I played full time on defense. I was simply too quick, I had that QB on the run quickly. He could never set and throw. And if they kept a back in to block me it rarely worked and that was one less receiver.

Stupid, don't fight it guy, ok? There is a reason there is nobody anywhere who knows more about tracksters in football than myself, the reason being................that was me!

Dummy, I can take every college/every pro team and run down every sprinter/long jumper/hurdler footballer (of note) they have ever had. Why would I care, yep......THAT WAS ME~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

Big good looking guy here, hung like an Arkansas mule, who was a stud footballer/trackster who knows more about that track/football connection than anyone. Stop fighting it....ok?

Fill these lanes with sub 10.10 sprinters who made NFL teams.

You can't do it can ya slick?

[Avante]

In 1985 Roosevelt HSer Roy Martin ran a 20.13 200m. And that record has stood all these years. Well it's FINALLY been broken, Virginian HSer Noah Lyles ran a 20.09 at our Oly trials tonight talking 4th and just missing the team, in fifth was another HS kid, Michael Norman, he ran a 20.14.

That is histories first time two JS sprinters broke 20.15 in the same race.

Noah has a brother names Josephus, who is faster than he is at 400m.

Michael Norman is headed to USC he is a 10.2/20.1/45.1 guy.

Keep in mind this is a very VERY rare sight. High school kid vs the pros.

Lyles in lane 4, Norman in 6.

Yeah no , since you just made those up

[140]

Still a racist piece of , I see

[Avante]

Stupid, Google all those Olympic tid bits and then apologize, ok ya dumb ?

Yes when it comes to sports/music I'm 10000000% racist. I don't play silly ass games. If we are talking speed, agility, quicks, size with speed and them blues, it will be black most the time.I deal with real life no BS.

Now Google Betty Robinson, Eulace Pea , Francis Hussey, Allen Woodring, ok?

[Avante]

In 1936 in Berlin if Eulace Pea had been there and they had ran 200m man Mack Robinson (Jackies older brother) on the 4x1. We could have seen the first all black world record 4x1 team.

Jesse Owens Ohio St
Eulace Pea Temple
Mack Robinson Oregon
Ralph Metcalfe Marquette

I do get a kick out of dumb s like this 140 idiot, too stupid to figure this out.

Give me any school and if they have a sprinter/sprinters of note I will tell you all about them.

[Avante]

How about this for our USA 4x1 team?

Mike Rodgers
Justin Gatlin
Marvin Bracey
Trayvon Bromell

Should 200m man Ameer Webb anchor? Well?

[Avante]

Like I said, are we at a point in time where we can't hold the Olympic Games anymore because of stupid Islamic idiots?

10 men have been arrested in Brazil, something to do with potential terrorist activity. And, I'm just going to guess they have some ties to the Middle East and all that stupidity.

I will predict something to do with Isamic terrorism takes place in Rio at these Olympics.

[Silver&Black]

I will predict something to do with Isamic terrorism takes place in Rio at these Olympics.

That's not really going out on a limb, IMO.

All these athletes (Speith, McIlroy, LeBron, Kawhi, etc.) not going to the Olympics in Rio. It's not because of a gotdamn mosquito. It's because they fear what we all know is going to happen.....a terrorist attack. It just sounds a lot better in the Media to say you're not going because of the Zika virus.

You're not seen as anti-Islamic.

Honestly, these Olympics are planned so far in advance that I'm sure the terrorists probably put a group together and taught them to speak Brazilian and inserted them into society. No racist, but it wouldn't be hard to take someone from the Middle East and make them appear Brazilian. Once they learned the language, it'd be easy for them to assimilate. At least easier than the U.S.

I got me a Quran and started reading it, talk about a load of sick ass bull , there it is. PUNISH PUNISH KILL KILL CHOP BURN CHOP KILL PUNISH............iit's amazing. No wonder those freaks are all ed up, who wouldn't be reading that bull .

This might be our last summer Olympics because of Islam. And there is no such thing as "Radical" Islam, all this violence is Islam, that is what it is all about.
