Who is missing from the list?

Re: Who is missing from the list?

Don't know about the others here, but I quite like trying to rack what few brain cells I have left with these trivial questions.

Anyone can google...

Re: Who is missing from the list?

eldrick, rather than answer the question for you, I'll walk you through the steps I take when I'm inquisitive. Sort of a "give a man a fish, or teach him to fish" kind of thing. Perhaps if I share my methods others will benefit? Perhaps not?

To start off, it helps to get into a third-grader frame of mind. Are you there yet, poopyhead? I am. Let's go!

step 1. highlight data

step 2. right-click and COPY.

step 3. right-click and PASTE data in Google search field.

step 4. examine results:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n ... rta+Brunet

step 5. cogitate. third result down I see something that could be paydirt. hmmm... "women's 2000m" hmmmm.. it looks like a list of some sort and I'm looking for a list of some sort. both "women" and "2000m" are words that are key. I'll click on that one first.

step 6. http://www.algonet.se/~pela2/athletics/w_2000ok.htm

Wow! That was it! What are the chances? I'd bet it must be one in a googleplex (sic)?

Now you try it, poopyhead.

You're welcome.

Re: Who is missing from the list?

i woudlnt expect those wierd 2500000000000km road runs and stuff to be included, most up to date, IAAF isnt to bad i suppose,

[wineturtle]

Re: Who is missing from the list?

Mr. Cookie, Right you are I was not thinking of those jumpy thingies and the ones with the stick nor did I think to look off track at any of the roadies and hill and dale types and at distances between the 10K and Marathon. I,on purpose,left off the throwie jumpy ones. I'll try to do a better job in posting next time aroundand check my facts a bit deeper. What site does lead to the most up to date lists?

[Rufus Cookie]

Re: Who is missing from the list?

Slaney is top 10 for the 2000m too
and Briana Shook is 6th in the 3000m Steeple, so not sure if it counts as it has those little jumpy things in it.



now im just being an nuisance/idiot/annoying brat as i know u said off the T&FN lists but Cathy O'Brien in the 10mile road run is ranked 9th in the mens 15km road race Todd Williams is 8th, and in the 10km road race Mark Nenow is 4th, the US is 5th in the 4x1500m Dan Aldridge Andy Clifford Tom Duits and Todd Harbour.and they are also 7th with Jim McKeon Steve Scott Chuck Aragon and Jim Spivey. and 4th in the 30000m track is Bill Rodgers, he is also third in the 25000m track.plus there is all those US colleges in the 4x1500, 4xmile, etc etc ok ill stop nwo before everyone in track and field hates me haahahahah

Re: Who is missing from the list?

I forgot about the mile the first time round and missed Slaney...
Briana Shook is also in the all-time top 10, though.

Re: Who is missing from the list?

Powell got it. It was T&F News list and did not notice that it was last updated Aug 2003 not 04. M.Slaney (Decker)Was the one missing. Sorry I did not even think to see when the T&F staff last updated the list and records I just went to the easy site and clicked "The Bible of the Sport" . I'm new to 'putering and tend to believe what I see,I'm sure I'll be cured of that soon! Sorry I sent you all on a fox hunt with no fox afield. I am intrested ,what led Slowcoach to Ryan and bf to Diemer?

>>Yes, Jeff Buff, tafnut made the correct presumption. It is "Basil Fawlty"

>Well, you fooled me (and probably others as
>well) because the message you quoted was mine, not Basil's.

Tafnut isn't exactly the sharpest knife in this drawer. If he wasn't fooled, I doubt that many more were.

You thinking of Mary Decker ? So

If the answer was a snake, you'd be in need of antivenin.
