:| i'm stunned. you mean to tell me a Russian (former,, Ukranian or whatever that country is now) beat a black American straight up to become the fastest woman in the world?,,,, boy these dang slavs (former Russians) ain't no joke.

this is not a good yeah for black athletics,, i mean,, Tiger can't get out of his slump, (so much for the black golf revolution) the "great black hope" Mike Tyson the great goliath has been exposed, the U.S. men's basketball team is having to actually work to win games, hispanics done took over all of boxing except the motley heavyweight division and now black folk getting beat in foot races??? what next,, football teams with white workhorse running backs? :| stunned.
 
Although the sprints have been diominated by African Americans and the Caribbeans there are some great sprinters in Europe. They produce a different breed of White people over there. They can run, jump, and play basketball.

True that.......Not to long ago the former East Germans and former USSR rocked women's athletics in the olympics.

BTW, the real "dream team" at the olympics this year are the American swimmers.

Bart have you seen that white boy, Jeremy Wariner, running the open quarter? He can hang with the brotha's.
 
I swear you people can make a racial issue out of the color of paper............

And Jrock, if by "dream team", you mean the team that dominates its sport, then the softball team is a dream team. They haven't been scored upon. The swimmers didn't win as many medals as they did in Sydney.

The swimmers this year, won 1 more medal than in the dominating performance in Sydney. Not only that, they closed the competition breaking a world record in the relay. The team consisted of 3 legs that were former world record holders. Also, like American basketball, they have A HISTORY of being the best in the world.

I think the women soft ball team is a having a dominant performance. But again the real "dream team," is the American swimmers!

(what?!) no. will have to research that one. there are some "outliers" here in the united states.

Bart Short Story:
I had my 15 year reunion recently and there was this white friend from elementary and high school. this irish redhead used to compete FIERCELY with blacks in everthing and never backed down from any challenge, especially fist fights. He THRIVED on beating blacks in foot races, who could punt, pass, kick the furthest, anything the brothas were dominant in. Him and the "fastest man on campus" (one of my black friends who won several track meets) used to race from the practice field (when we was in band) to the band room, to the water cooler, you name, always racing. these mugz would be neck & neck. (the guy even had a "thick" girlfriend/now wife who was built more like a sista than the typical pinktoe!! :lmao: )

Ironically he was not the best with the books and to this day this cat was bringing up the fact that I had better grades than he had like he was competing with me to see who could make the best grades! :lol: he dominated me in virtually all athletic pursuits. :redhot: He blew me up in a foot races. I could never beat that mug! :shame:
=====

BTW, was looking at, i believe Phili vs Baltimore, the other night. Was that a white running back for Phili (i believe) that broke a nice long run in the 3rd or 4th quarter? I couldn't tell. I assumed he was a light-skinned brotha.

There is this white guy at Auburn, Trey Smith, that plays running back and special teams. once when both Cadillac and Ronnie Brown went down with injuries in the Alabama game, this little scatback type was put in as THE #1 running back to finish that game and for their bowl game. This mug SHREDDED Alabama and the bowl team. (when both Cadillac and Ronnie went down, there was a collect sigh of relief from Bama fan and Alabama, but when this Trey Smith got into the game, this mug hit 2 or 3 quick long runs and proved to be hard to get a hand on and take down. he was like a white version of Alabama's Shawd Williams! Alabama's defense, mostly black, were stunned and there were a lot of hands on hips.) If it wasn't for Cadillac and Ronnie Brown, this kid could easily be a starter,, maybe not a dominant SEC back, but effective. Right now he could be the featured back easily at Troy University, UAB, maybe Southern Miss, ECU, etc.

ATHENS ? Michael Phelps was waving a U.S. flag, pounding out a beat on poolside signboards and chanting "U-S-A! U-S-A!" as his record-breaking eighth Olympic medal was being won Saturday. (Related story: Thompson passes torch to Coughlin)

Freestyler Jason Lezak collects high-fives from his relay teammates Ian Crocker, Aaron Peirsol and Brendan Hansen.
By Eileen Blass, USA TODAY

With a world-record victory in the 4x100 medley relay, Phelps' teammates carved his name and theirs in the Olympic annals. Phelps, who will get a gold medal from the win because he swam in the medley relay preliminaries, is the winningest Olympian at a non-boycotted Games with six golds and two bronzes.

"Wow," Phelps said of matching Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin's medal total from the 1980 Olympics, which were boycotted by the USA and more than 50 other countries. "I've said it in the past ? I wanted to become the first Michael Phelps and do something no one has done before."


By Eileen Blass USA TODAY
Not to be overlooked: Larsen Jensen became the first American man under 14:50 with his silver medal performance in the 1,500 free. Australian Grant Hackett defended his title in 14:43.40.



With the relay gold and Larsen Jensen's silver in the 1500 freestyle Saturday, the U.S. men finished with 18 medals overall, their highest total since the 1976

It just goes to show that our dominance wasn't gonna last too long and also that it wasn't to be slept on. Look at Gail Deavers. ALenia Provlaa (sp) gave her a serious run in '92 in the 100M.

and how. even the Williams sisters dominance is being severely challenged. i thought they would be unstoppable until age or wealth/glamorous lifestyle did them in.
 
My mistake J Rock, I was going off what the announcers said last night, maye he was talking about the women. O well, I still don't think we dominated in swimming. The torpedo kicked our arse in freestyle, and the Japanese dude kicked our arse in the fly....

I thought evidence came out that linked the East Germans/Soviet Union to performance enhancing drugs???

If not then something was going on because the womens record in the 400 meters (47s) and 800 meters (1:53) which is held by an East German Woman (Marita Koch I think) would have been broken by now.....,

USA's Justin Gatlin will persevere and win the men's 100.
And he did. The results were closer then usual. The top 5 broke 10 seconds.

Constant pounding on that hard surface will do you in quicker that you think.

John Riggins, Rocky Bleir, Csonka, ...

They're waiting in the winds Bart. They are waiting in the winds. If a kid has talent, put him back there regardless of color. :tup:

The women's softball team is very dominant. Just got their first point scored against them today. lol
 
Actually, this is a great thing. We can begin to burry the myth of the superiority of the black athlete. In fact, thanks to eastern Euros, they've been able to show that white Americans, are just plain lame when it comes to sports that have been dominated by blacks - ex. basketball, boxing and now track and field.

Because we need to understand, that the myth of the superiority of the black athlete comes with it an unspoken and yet equally believed counter myth - the intellectual superiority of Mister Charlie.

The eastern Euros, however, have made a statement as to why white Americans are too afraid to compete against blacks and have seceded competing with them in certain sports arenas.

Overall, this race is a good example of why we should always challenge our stereotypes.
