[So Cal Rocket]

Jeromy Wariner became today the first white american (and the second white ever, after the greek Kenteris in 2002) to enter the top ten "all time" performer list of an olympic sprint contest (100, 200 and 400 m).

Not true.

The first white Americans to enter the top ten all time performers in an Olympic sprint contest were Thomas Burke (1896 100m and 400m champion), Francis Lane (1896 100M Bronze) and Herbert Jamison (1896 400M Silver).

What about Pietro Mennea, italian, who held the world record in the 200 Meters for 17 years. Won the gold in 1980 Olympics (I know, I know the boycott year).

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

After watching the preening, strutting and chest thumping by Mo Greene and the other sprinters in the 100 meter finals last night...a little fresh blood and Wariner-type humility is a refreshing thing to see.

[zoyd]

That Belarussian chick in the women's 100m put on a good show... assuming that there isn't a gallon of EPO in her blood.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Today sprinting became the first and ONLY truly global individual sport.

So it wasn't global until a white person won it?

Much ado about nothing.

[TexasCajun]

Bump for Proud White American!

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

WOW! 1-2-3 Sweep for USA! Wariner is the first white American man to win a sprint medal since Mike Larabee's 400 gold in 1964.
