byLarry Eder(Probably one update a day through July 23, as I am on vacation….)
Some nice performances in Paris on Friday:
Powell, LeMaitre, Bolt, Blake, AREVA 100m, photo by PhotoRun.net.
Men
100 meters
Usain Bolt wins here in 9.84, with Asafa Powell in 9.91, Yohan Blake in 9.95. Christophe Lemaitre of France was fifth in 10.09. Bolt looked very good, and Powell is looking fast, but
tired. ( And I love watching Lemaitre, give him three months with an American sprint coach, and the kid would be running 9.88-9.90! He runs like a soccer player doing sprints.)
