rcaddict72, true, it was a fantastic run by Shirvington, but the wind here was only -0.1m/s, making his time the same with no wind and a 9.93 with a 2m/s behind him.
this is the fastest- at that time, that a white man had ever run..and the first equivalent sub 10 second white runner. taking wind into it, Matt's time is equivalent to a 9.97s for zero wind..and , at the maximum legal wind it'd be 9.87.
rcaddict72- You've almost doubled the wind effect improvements. A -0.1 gives essentially no change to the result or at best 1/100th of a second taking this to a 10.02 at best. WIth a 2m/s tailwind its a 9.92. 2m/s = 0.1s improvement for men, 0.12 for women.
Despite all the complaints from the West, delays due to floods, dengue and security fears - Delhi Venues are beautiful - Athletes Villages is best ever, better than that in Beijing - Games went without a any problem - Indian Security has become a model for the whole world Stop double standards and Indi bashing.
This was probably the last commonwealth games where all the top track and field athletes turned up. Since then they haven't done so.

Thompson's problem was he couldn't start and was also plagued by injury late. Enormously talented sprinter, I was a big fan of his.
This was an amazing run from him, his time would have been good enough to reach an olympic final which for a white man is a huge achievement.
Obadele Thompson has to be the unluckiest sprinter in history. Shirvington went on to do bugger all.
