Apart from getting the stuff about the 200 meter "record" wrong (including the time of the former "record") this article twice refers to Allyson Felix's surname as Fox.

But if you continue that verse, Old Bobby offers up a potentially exciting venue for the NEXT Nike experiment!
Yes, I believe it can be very easily done
You just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it down on Highway 61...!!
LOL

More from morning TV coverage: A news hostess today saying that Kipchoge must be kicking himself for not simply running 26 seconds faster.
Apparently it would have been a small adjustment to run "just" one second faster for each of 26 consecutive miles.
As Bob Dylan said" Yes, I believe it could be easily done..."

At the Musco Twilight college meet, the mPV's winner cleared 471/15.5 1/2. The BTN commentator gushed "incredible."

If all this was in conjunction with the Berlin Marathon, under good conditions, we'd all be a lot more receptive. The 2-barrier MIGHT go today, but none of us will buy it, given the advantages employed. Whatta waste for real road fans.

The media avalanche of bullshit about a sub-2 hour marathon has been duly noted on the home page, but I caught some morning TV propaganda today that was over the top silly.
According to a breathless young woman jogging along while talking into the camera, the trick is merely to have 3 runners pace one another and (MOST IMPORTANTLY) wear the new magic shoes being manufactured by two of the leading sport footwear mega-corporations.
Who knew?!?!?

I am right handed and must be exclusively right footed.. I never flopped but straddled off right foot, long jumped and preferred hop off right foot (results about the same whichever foot I started with).. but wanted left foot forward in starting blocks.. dunno if that is right footed or ???.

I'm a total Lefty ( except golf) and as is indirectly stated above, we lefties use/used our right leg for takeoff.

Just blundered onto this jewel in the Wiki entry for Igor Paklin:
"Like all modern high jumpers, Paklin used the Fosbury Flop style, and he was the first to do so jumping off his right leg."
So true... except for maybe a million others including Fosbury himself.

Thank you. She has corrected the article.
I should note that other than the one glaring error, this was a well-written piece about a remarkable individual. I recommend it to anyone who is unfamiliar with Mr Douglas's story.
