The big question here is where the voters will put Yegorova. I think
they'll be divided and she'll end up either just squeaking in or out of
top 10 completely. My position is that as she was not disqualified by
IAAF, in accordance with their rules, her season should be considered
with full merit.
A tough season for the selectors of TFN Athlete of the year.
GREENE: W.C. 3d fastest, no-one faster. Short (injuries) season.
BUCHER: 3x under 1.43. 6th fastest ever. One loss ( to 5th fastest ) that
will cost him. 7x under 1.44.00. W. Champ. Best non Kipketer season in
800?
EL GUERROUJ: 5
Yulianna Perez, the Tucson born, Cuban trained TJ'er jumped 46' 10 3/4
at the WUG's, bringing her closer to what sems an inevitable US record.
She's being courted by Colleges eager to have her, but seems to be
intending to stay out her second year at Pima CC in Tucson, perhaps
because of her
I don't think I'm alone in having decided that SFHamilton's problems are
psychological and not physiological. I don't think she's shown any
improvement in her mental state over Sydney. Her problem seems to be
hysterical in nature. Now before anyone screams sexist, let me explain
that I mean it in
Just got back from Edmonton. Haven't had a chance to read many posts, so
I'll probably be repeating some stuff.
The meet itself was excellently produced. Those Video screens make a huge
difference! They were well used and offered some great views when I was
roving the stadium and sitting in the
Major booboo on my last post. I meant end to end 5.09's for the 5000 of
course. Last 400 in 54 in the 10,000.

As I'm going to the World's I've noticed that Edmonton has had showers
every day this week and the forecast for next week says showers every
day. Can any Edmontonian/Canadian tell me if showers means: a)
Occasional drizzle; b) Occasional downpour; c) Bring the Arc; d) It rains
only at night or;
The latest in the saga of the Tucson TJ'er is that she may not get to go
to the World
University games in China. When she was given $2,200 by the Swiss in
Havana to get to the U.S., they put a proviso on her passport not
allowing her to leave North America until it's repaid. John MCCain's

Mike asked: Just wanted to see what everyone thought about the US's
chances of racking
up any medals 800 on up?
Uri was kind. I think a snowball's chance in hell describes it for me.
I assume you were limiting yourself to men. On the women's side Jacobs
should medal, if not win, the 1500. Suzy
Did anybody notice that Lassiter ran 35.28 for his last 300m in the
Glasgow race? It goes to show that running 3.15 for three laps is like
walking to these guys!

There is an interesting story behind Yuliana Perez's 2d place finish in
the USATF TJ. She was born in Tucson, then went to live in Cuba when she
was 5. She trained for the 2000 Olympic games with the Cubans but was
denied a place on the team, due to her place of birth. She left Cuba in
February
My reading of Bannister's career shows him running 4.24.6 in 1947, and he
came to Oxford in Fall of 1946. which I think makes him a Freshman. He
never ran on a track or wore spikes prior to Oxford.

Wow what a great race for the kid! 2 weeks ago I figured he might run
3.57 at Pre, then after last weeks incredible races ( 1.52 last 800,
1.49.5, 49.2) I thought maybe he could go 3.55; but 3.53.4!! I understand
the conditions weren't too great... windy. He held back until the last
lap and looks

What was embarrasing in the game show "Who wants to be...$$",
was the fact that neither of th track personna (Greene Dragila) could
figure out the order of head to toe. Ah well I guess they weren't on
there because of brains. I must admit I bet my wife that Mo would be last
Hi:
I kept off the list during the Olympics to avoid early results. What I
have read since getting back on hasn't encouraged me to jump in again!
"Devers faked her injury to make money."
"Suzy flopped as an athlete but not as an actor."
Why should Devers fake an injury for God's sake! Up to
