Re: 7/6 in Lausanne

Frankie Fredericks will be 37 years old this October. On the men's side of things, I can't think of anyone performing at that age at his current level. L. Christie won gold at 32 and kept going awhile, but this guy rocks!!

Don't get me started on Merlene Ottey.

I think that BRN stands for Bahrain, not Brunei. There have been rumors of Bahrain recently giving citizenship to African runners a la Qatar.

Re: Men's 200...way to go Frankie!

Sorry, but 2.03 is 6-8. See Louise Ritter's AR. Tafnut, you got it on the nose! And congrats on your other great picks! (I also would have picked Heshko in the 1500. I did pick Mutua in the 800. He was 3rd in the Kenyan Trials, but with their new selection system he must run like a demon in Europe to secure his spot for Athens.)

(Iaaf text report has Sles at 2.02, but the results table has the correct 2.03.)
