150M Info

[proofs in the pudd'in]

Does anyone have info on the best 150m performances?

I read that Pietro Mennea had the fastest - 14.8 - is that right?

Hey thanks

That kinda threw me for a loop but I guess if its on the books it counts.

Is that wind legal and non-altitude.

And why should he be the one to hold that record----was that his "perfect distance" or just happens that its not run often enough to judge?

Although according to this thread, MJ went through 150m in 14.57 in the Atlanta OG final:

Fredericks was at 14.80e, and Boldon 14.94. Presumably X-man and Tyson managed similar numbers this year.

Feel free to debate the merits of a whole turn and 50m straight vs 50m bend and 100m straight (or thereabouts)....

Wow!! :shock: How do throw a 138# stone 15 ' 3.5"? I would like to see that.

That performance (which was actually 14.35) had not yet occurred when this thread was active.

When old threads get resurrected out of the blue (in this case rather oddly since the bumper comment had nothing to do with the 150m world best) it can feel like you've gone back in a time machine until you notice the dates.
