Read More...Tyson Gay Sets New World Best With 19.41 200 Meter Sprint

Tyson Gay is, as I like to say, not quite slow… On a straight track in Manchester, U.K. this morning he ran a 19.41 second 200 meter race, beating Tommie Smith’s 19.5 second race on a cinder track in San Jose, California back in 1966. He faced a slight headwind, which seems to be when [...]

In another wind-aided run of 100 meters, Tyson Gay ran (as I like to put it) not quite slow to finish in 9.75 seconds. That’s the 7th fastest 100 meters ever run under any conditions, although it is not eligible for the record books given the assist from Mother Nature. He only ran the first [...]

World record holder and Olympic Gold Medalist Usain Bolt is scheduled to face off against former world record holder Asafa Powell this afternoon in Brussells in the 100m for what was supposed to be a showdown between the 3 fastest men on the planet. Unfortunately, Tyson Gay pulled out of the meet yesterday to avoid [...]

This has been a jam-packed weekend; there was a lot going on! If only NBC actually broadcast the races, I’d be all set. I’d sit there and watch commercial after commercial. First, the women’s marathon. I almost cried when Deena Kastor broke her foot barely 3 miles into the race. Magdalena Lewy Boulet made it [...]

It was not too long ago that Tyson Gay ran the fastest 100 meters that any human has ever done. He had the assistance of a good tailwind, which will keep him out of the record books, but that is still impressive none the less. Even so, he is stronger in the 200 meter distance [...]
Read More...Tyson Gay first of 3 to break 100m records at Olympic Trials
By Blaine Moore on Sunday, June 29th, 2008 | No Comments
After falling halfway back into the field in the 4th heat of the opening round in yesterday’s 100m Olympic Trials, Tyson Gay had a lot of ground to make up. He did well for 70 meters, but then started to slow down. Only a late surge in the last 7 to 10 meters got him [...]

By Blaine Moore on Saturday, June 28th, 2008 | No Comments
This week last year saw a varied range of topics on the site with a good mix of tips and news. I began the week by looking at dancing as an alternative exercise. Unfortunately for my wife and I, we haven’t been out dancing too often since she went to law school. The UCI came [...]
