I'm glad you added the caveat. Me???? Yep...I used to watch the Olympics and sometimes some track stuff on TV on a Saturday or Sunday before I could drive. You can't make this stuff up.
Obviously it's a lot of...hey Spurs for Six, do you know...(me interrupting) "yep".

well...back in those days, there was no 100m. Nope...meters came much later...it's why we'll never be able to know if Horace Lee would be faster than Usain Bolt.

seems like they should have been able to solve this issue. but maybe it's the primary reason that anyone would watch the women's triple jump.

Please clarify this is US track and field. Usain Bolt really holds the top 3 spots.

These are opinion moments. I'm all about the red white and blue.

If you want to go outside the US, that's your prerogative, commie

You guys really know your stuff when it comes to track and field, I'm impressed. Probably more than anyone around these parts tbh.

Listen Junior...there's no one else that can name the fastest black high jumpers...trust me. Yep...as with many world class athletes, they've all run a sprint or two in their lifetime.
