Women's sprints trivia

[Powell]

What do Pauline Davis and LaTasha Colander have in common? I'm talking about something both of them accomplished that no other athlete managed.

transition from 400 to 100??

Re: Women's sprints trivia

I'm sure you could find other examples of that, even if at a lower level... plus Davis started out as a 100/200 sprinter. I'm talking about a specific pinpointable (is that a word?) fact that you can associate ONLY with these two athletes.

Slightly more specific, but I don't know if it's what you're after...

Made their first Olympic team in the 100m, and then made the team in the 400m at a later Olympics...?

Not true of Colander - she made her first team at 400. And again, you can find plenty of other examples of women who have done it.

No more takers?

It does have to do with 100 and 400 meters, among other things...

Sub 11 and Sub 50? But a few have done that...

You're on the right track. The sub-11 and sub-50 is a part of the answer.

OK, I can just as well make it easier for you: Davis and Colander are the only ones who ran a sub-11 and sub-50, but did not do what?

No sub 22?

Re: Women's sprints trivia

Yup, that's what I meant.

BTW, can you name the other 7 athletes who ran sub-11 and sub-50? No looking it up, please.

Another very impressive trivia note is that the world 800m record holder has run an 11.09 100m!
