Re: Fantasy 4x1

None of those guys with the exception of Borzov ever broke a 10.10.They might beat out Cuba. I would however have Pietro Mennea there instead of Ray.

Re: Fantasy 4x1

Do you remember Eugene RAY's fantastic race
at the 1979 World Cup against Steve WILLIAMS.
Very narrow victory in 10"14, I believe, for
The US sprinter.
Sad to know that this powerful sprinter from
DDR was killed in a car accident a few year
later.
He was running like Marlies Goehr: small strides
with very high velocity.

Re: Fantasy 4x1

I agree with Rob regarding the Euro team. I was toying with Radford on the 3rd leg but Ray is probably a better choice. So Hary did not go under 10.10. Consider the era in which he ran '58 '59 and '60. He is one of the all time greats in the 100. Did Tommie Smith go under 10.10? Rob's Euro team would have finished in the top 2 or 3 IMHO.

Re: Fantasy 4x1

No one is willing to place Carl Lewis on either of the USA Teams. I figured a former 100m WR holder, is on the current 4x100m WR team, and arguably has the fastest archor leg in history deserves a place on at least the "B" team?!?

Re: Fantasy 4x1

Sorry, correction to my last post. I now see that SMTC has their own team. I just think that is a little strange considering that all the other teams are nationally comprised teams. This does show the dominance of SMTC in the eighties and early nineties, though.

Re: Fantasy 4x1

If ya noticed I had those guys on legs there were familiar with if I could.Mennea would be far better suited for that "third" leg than Ray.

I honestly can't see any team comprised of all white sprinters hanging with those teams I mentioned, with the possible exception of Cuba.
