webb injured?

[DrJay]

Im on a hunger strike until noon est.unless i find out Webb's ok. :cry:

Your cat will realize you are hungry and will worry about you.

degree of injury is an issue, some soreness where rest heals, or some real injury which threatens his season....??

From David Monti's RRW:

""It was precautionary to not run in London in light of the World Championships," said Webb's manager Ray Flynn, in an email to RRW. "It was nothing serious and he is back to training and doing well.""

RRW says it's a sore hamstring, but then goes on to say that he's training again (as MJD noted).

Sounds to me like they 1.) possibly learned from past year's experiences that racing through even minor aches can create big problems, or 2.) there really isn't a problem and they just teel that it is smarter to lay low, rest and keep the confidence and competitive juices high for Japan....

I would guess it was the second. There is no need to race until the Championships....he's as ready as he can get!

Do you think they're a bunch of rubes who've never seen niggles before last year? It goes with the territory, most of them go away, a few of them don't.

No, I don't. But, last year they admitted that he ran through some things he shouldn't have. He was committed to compete in some meets and felt honoring the commitment was more important than listening to his body.

When pressure to run from promotors and sponsors is high athletes may try to ignore things they otherwise wouldn't.

Personally I don't think that is the case this year. I think he just feels he has much more to lose than to gain by racing prior to Osaka. A little msucle tightness ()in this case diagnosed as a "strain") from a 1:43 big PR is expected and makes for a reasonable out.

I find any genius fascinating, including Conrad Black.

hopefully webb is somewhere getting acclimated to osaka weather...

wise NOT to race, another race effort empties the tank just a bit...

his form with the AR and 800 are superb, back off the racing to rest and resharpen...

i suspect flynn knows what he's doing....

Somewhere, someone is going to call you a racist for using the N-word.

With over 30 years of experience I've never met an athlete that fits your description. Perhaps you could name one?
