the thing is Thompson has all year to train for Track, while Holliday has only a few weeks due to him electing to play Football. I guess you could say Trindon's natural untrained speed was faster than Thompson's natural untrained speed.
Thank you ESPN for getting it right. Richard is from Trinidad and Tobago. keep blazing the track Richard. missy kane and bernie whats his face can learn a thing or two from The ESPN commentary team
But trindon holliday need to work on running in as straight a line as possible. Even in the 2007 NCAA's, I think too much lateral movement cost him the 100m title. If you watch in this race, it seems as if he momentarily lost his footing.
thenextreggie, You sound like you are bitter about something. Do you care to tell us what's really wrong? Did Richards success and superior performance hurt your feelings? He is simply faster than Holiday this year..accept it. Richards technique, transition, execution and composure has improved this year. People train so that they can improve. It should not be a suprise to you that he was better mentally and physically capable this year. PS dont hate.
great to review history results and predictions. .TF wise thompson made a few line ups but rest of field nada. trindon 3-4 years pro football then scrap heap.
Holidays 10.02 was on modern tartan track with modern equipment etc Bob Hayes way back in 1964 ran 10.05 on a wet DIRT track (YES DIRT) Hayes also ran 9.91 in the semi final also on Dirt. NO ONE in the NFL was or has been faster than Hayes, even back in 1963 was the first man to run yhe 60yd dash in UNDER 6seconds Hayes ran 5.9, to compare the fastest 60 in the NFL's fastest man comp is 6.09 by Ron Brown, even Darrell Green at his HOF induction said Hayes was the fastest to ever play.
They are obviously going off today's metrics but that will never take away what the legends have done before us. He is the fastest college football player of all time that i agree with but not the fastest football player of all time. Just watch that Jesse owens/de grasse video where he tries to mimic what owens did.
You're not understanding what I'm saying. If you observe his technique,it's almost certain that his time would have been faster- that run had 6.4 potential, but he has a tendency to move too much to the right or the left....maybe it's a psychological thing, or a football thing....beats me!!! But yeah I know, coulda woulda shoulda....
he had the best start in the olympics. he already has one of athe best if not the best start now. of couse asafa had a bad start becasue he always chokes
College sports are an amazing thing. I whish they did this in Europe too.

Thompson is the man. Forget all that rubbish about untrained speed. Richard thompson is the champion and he has LSU's fastest times...the end.
Thompson's 2007 PR was 10.09, 10.35.
I love how they all smash into the wall at the end. You would think the design would be a little better than that. lol.

i could actually argue to you that richard thompson's top speed is his biggest weakness
Richard is the boss and I have big hopes for him in beijing.

I think maybe trindon could have ran a 6.46 or a 6.48, but not a 6.39
were is walter dix ??
Jamal Lewis can't be this kids father since he is only 30 years old himself.
if he coulda run it...he would have ran it. he ran 6.54, thats what he could have ran and can run.
They pretty much all false started, pause the film at 2:11 and you see movement by pretty much everybody before the gun
the video is laggy (8 years late lol)
