Re: Track and Field Reply #139 – September 18, 2025, 07:27:03 pm Gout Gout's ability to maintain his speed over the last 50m is phenomenal. He'd be hard to beat if he could accelerate a little faster at the start. Quote Selected

Re: Track and Field Reply #141 – September 18, 2025, 08:26:27 pm It's important we don't have too high expectations for Gout Gout for the rest of this meet.By making the semis he's already achieved a great deal.To make the final would be sensational...but he is up against the best in the world, mature runners at their peakPlenty of time in the years ahead.He does have this ability to maintain speedI suspect his best combination may not necessarily be the 100/200 but he might be more suited the 200/400.He's run a 46.20 400 without really training for it.

Re: Track and Field Reply #148 – September 22, 2025, 08:22:59 am She's very positive She was clearly the best jumper in the competition despite getting her 2.00m clearance before the worst of the rain.She had two really good attempts at 2.02m. None of the other competitors came close. Quote Selected Last Edit: September 22, 2025, 08:24:57 am by Lods
