9.79 (-0.3). FTW in Brussels
9.79 (-0.3). FTW in Brussels
Despite all the nonsense by half the board about performances declining, drug testing improved yada yada, this year has been one of the best for times.
The men's world leads from 100 to 3000 are some of the fastest times we've ever seen. I don't know what this board talks about half the time.
Sprintgeezer is back!
Glad to finally see him put down a good time. He's a light guy so a 9.79 into a headwind is a pretty big deal for him. With a +2.0 wind he probably could have challenged the American Record.
9.6 high is in his future if he stays healthy.
If you adjust for wind and altitude, Coleman’s 9.79 today (run into a -.3 m/s wind) converts to a 9.77 whereas Tyson Gay's 9.69 American record run from 2009 with a 2.0 m/s wind in Shanghai converts to a 9.78 as does Justin Gatlin’s 9.74 from Doha in 2015 (.9 m/s).
The actual best 100 meter performance in US history when one adjusts for the wind and altitude appears to be the 9.71 that Tyson Gay ran for 2nd at Worlds in 2009 in Berlin (+ .9 m/s) converts to a 9.75.

Interesting. Can you control for temperature and track surface?
As well as reaction time?
Best 100m Sprinter in the world. His start is incredible!
No one in the world is messing with a healthy Christian Coleman.
Now if we can just get Brommel back!
This is a huge time. I love the fact that it is 9.79, how poetic.
It is something like 9.78 basic, run in mid-60’s temperature. Are you kidding me? That is 9.68-9.69 with max allowable wind.
HUGE red flag. Indoor record, comes out ok outdoors, injures his ham, comes back in the big-money championship to run 9.79. Remind you of anyone?
Oh, I forgot the other parallel...was always having problems with his second half, then magically has a race where his 2nd half is as good as anybody’s, and the championship field makes up no ground whatsoever.
Yeeeaahhhh, right.
Cee Cee. showing that it is all about the running and putting in work. period. I love that dude. He comes to run, and leaves all the other crap at the doorstep.

+1.0 wind at his back comes out to a 9.73
He has an outside shot at 9.68.
Maybe in 2019

Coleman was a 19"8, 200m sprinter when running it in college. I don't think that he has an intrinsically poor 2nd half
His speed development is amazing. He has no hitches, no dead spots in his acceleration. Fantastic
200 speed is not 2nd-half 100m speed, and the first 50m acceleration of the 100m is more intense than that in the 200.
Not intrinsically “poor”, but not world-beating, which is what is needed for 9.80-and-under.
Remarkable for him to do this in a season that appeared to be ruined by the calf injury earlier in the season. It is very difficult to recover both physically and mentally, because you know in your heart that the calf could go with full effort, and all the more difficult in a pure power event like this. 9.79 in those conditions??? He sure corrected whatever he was doing even after coming back from injury. Prior to that, he had the fantastic start but could not hang with the top speeds of his competitors.
Good to see this. Hope we can believe in it.

He doesn't pull away from fields in the second half of a 100m. What we see a guy with a fantastic 60 who holds on, sometimes barely. There is no doubt of any kind he could use more speed endurance.
The guy is real young however with his best years are head of him. If he keeps doing what he's been doing, by 2020......9.65?
