Where can you find the results for Osaka? The meet website linked on the t&fn results page is not very helpful.

If you don't know the 100m result, you may want to watch vid first.

I was expecting to see Norman's coach come up to him and tell him "Ok. Two more just like that and we can call it a workout".

"hidden" in the results was a 38.00 for Japan.

MN was hustling on the turn but then did run through the line pretty casually.

“That was a good 95% effort.....”

Yeah that 19.8 looked so easy.

Lalu, what a prodigy!

Imagine what Norman will do running next to Lyles...

[Jacksf]

Based on this weekend, I would go with Lyles.

Interesting to see that Ivet Lalova-Collio celebrated her 35th birthday on the 18th by running her fastest 200m opener ever, with a 22.55 (+0.5) in Osaka.

For comparison, she set her PB of 22.32 (-0.1) in the 2015 Beijing WC semis and opened that year with a 23.39 (-2.0) in Rieti in May (so just over 23 with a still wind).

In 2016, she again set her SB of 22.42 (+0.1) in the semi of the major meet, the Rio OG. That year she opened on 14 May with a 23.04 (+0.7) in Shanghai.

It will be interesting to see if she can take that time down any further this year.

Lalu, what a prodigy!

He has now moved up on the IAAF U20 list to =6th performer all-time. Boling is at =41st with 10.13. The best 10 athletes are as follows:

Rank	Mark	WIND	Competitor	Date
1	9.97	1.8	Trayvon BROMELL	13-Jun-14
2	10.00	1.6	Trentavis FRIDAY	5-Jul-14
3	10.01	0.0	Darrel BROWN	24-Aug-03
3	10.01	1.6	Jeff DEMPS	28-Jun-08
3	10.01	0.9	Yoshihide KIRYU	28-Apr-13
6	10.03	0.7	Marcus ROWLAND	31-Jul-09
6	10.03	1.7	Lalu Muhammad ZOHRI	19-May-19
8	10.04	1.7	D'Angelo CHERRY	10-Jun-09
8	10.04	0.2	Christophe LEMAITRE	24-Jul-09
8	10.04	1.9	Abdullah Abkar MOHAMMED	15-Apr-16

Interesting to note that half the performers are from the last 6 years and there's no ancient performances at all, with Darrel Brown the earliest of the 10 with his 2003 effort.

And Lalu ran that time from Lane 9!
I believe he won the WJC from lane 8 or 9 as well.
It's about time he gets a middle lane!

Well, those middle lanes are not always the best lanes. I guess it depends on the individual. Maybe it is a mind thing. Ask Wayde van Niekerk. LOL!!! I think Noah Lyles run better when he is in those outer lane. If I am not mistaken, Calvin Smith Sr. won his 2nd World Championship running in lane 8. Hell, look what the U.S. women 4x1 relay team did in Rio from lane 1.
Hey, I'm just saying.
