Weekend Wrapup: Jones, Williams Prevail In Glasgow

A false start was not enough to derail Lolo Jones’ season opener.   Jones clocked 7.95 at the Aviva International Match in Glasgow, Scotland on Saturday equalling the world lead set by Canada’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep yesterday.

“I’m relieved to get a race under my belt, especially after the false start,” Jones said. “I never false start, so that was shocking to me.”

The 60 meter will be defended by reigning World Indoor champion Angela Williams. She easily won the 60 meters ahead of Chandra Sturrup ( of the Bahamas, although without setting the world on fire. Williams won in 7.32, slighttly head of Sturrup in 0.02s.

Mo Farah smashed the British indoor in the 3,000 records, running 7:40.99. “I knew I was in good shape and winter training has gone well,” said Farah.

Make no mistake, the men’s 400 meters is wide open. Canadian  Canada Tyler Christopher’s won the 400m in 47.20 however, that it has been reported that he is battling the flu.

In other news, Dwain Chambers of Great Britain set a new personal best of 6.52, in route to winning the 60-meters at the Birmingham Games.

The time set in the semi-final round is the world-leading time. A former drug cheat, Chambers was prevented from competing in Glasgow after being banned from competitions by the EuroMeets Consortium due to his drugs ban.

Kicks: Nike Air Pegasus ‘89

This is another example of how well Nike does with retro shoes. It’s been about 20 years since the original release of the Nike Air Pegasus ‘89. They made their debut in the running circuit back in ‘89, and the legacy continues.

They come in two original colorways, consisting of red and blue. Not only are the colorways original, the materials and design used to make the shoe are exactly the same. With a synthetic and suede upper, the shoe will last long. Whether you’re a long time fan of the Air Pegasus, or a newcomer to the running scene, this shoe will do you justice. Ships in February with a limited release.

Michael Johnson is Prepared for Records To Drop

Michael Johson 200M WR

That was until Usain Bolt blasted on the brink to the 200-meter record. Michael Johnson provides invaluable insight looking into the metamorphosis of Usain Bolt.

“I’m ready to kiss it [200m record] goodbye…if he keeps on doing what he’s doing,” said Johnson at the U.S. Olympic trials.

Sprint legend Michael Johnson is, of course, talking about Usain Bolt and the work he had done to run 9.77 in June to set the new World Record at the 100-meters. What is ironic is that Bolt has traditionally been seen as a 200-meter runner. This year, Bolt broke the 100-meter world record, and that feat now sets him up to break the 200-meter world record.

“He ran 19.75 [a year ago], which was amazing enough, given that he’s not the most technically sound 200-meter runner,” Johnson said of Bolt. “Whatever technical flaws you have at 200 are going to be highlighted at 100. But, you take a look at his 100 when he broke the world record…he has fixed a lot of things [technically] in the off-season.”

The drama continues to mount as last Friday in Rome, Bolt ran just his third 200 of the year and delivered 19.67, the fifth fastest time in track history. Bolt is finding his way closer and closer to 19.32 each time he steps on the track.

Usain Bolt broke his own Jamaican national record in the 200 meters last night, clocking a spectacular 19.67 seconds at the Tsliklitiria Super Grand Prix at Olympic Stadium in Rome.
“If he is as technically sound at 200, or the improvement at 200 in technique matches what we have seen at 100, there’s no telling what he is going to run,” Johnson added.

It has been the 400-meter record of 43.18 that Johnson set in 1999 that was predicted to be the first record of his to fall. Johnson is now an agent, and his star client, Jeremy Wariner, is nearing that milestone with a personal record of 43.45. Records tend to come when athletes are running easily so, the 400 record may fall but it probably will not be broken at the Olympics.

MJ, who remains one of the biggest forces in the sport, is ready for the times to move down the performance list. Spoken like a true champion, Johnson went on to say, “I don’t wake up every morning thinking, ‘I’m still the world record holder, and it’s another good day because of it.’”

Johnson understands that his time on the track is behind him and today he readily embraces his new role helping today’s runners realize their goals and dreams.

The looming question is whether the 200 or 400 record will fall first?
