France's Christophe LeMaitre wins the European championship in the 100 meter. He is the first European-American to break the 10 second mark in the 100 meter in a previous race.
What the hell is a European-American?
He's French. He's European-European if anything.
After watching France’s World Cup soccer team, I’m shocked there are anymore White French athletes.
It another way to divide us so the liberals can conquer us.
Pretty impressive.
A Russian (oops a Ukrainian) won the 100 Olympic meters in maybe 1976 and a Scotsman in 1980. I don’t think a White runner has won since then. Blacks really do dominate the sprints.
I guess Olympic 100 meters sounds better than (100 Olympic meters).
Sorry...my bad...I’m so used to posting on threads where blacks are referred to as African-American (note capitalization)...and whites are refererred to as “whites” (no capitalization) that I have gone to a tit-for-tat type of “language”. Clearly, Christophe is a white Frenchman as oppose to the “Norwegians, Italians, etc.” that were lining up against him. He is clearly a pretty exciting and interesting figure in the world of track and field at this point no matter how we label him.
Not today...
Kinda like them “African_American” Frenchmen(according to CNN) who rioted in France last year and set several thousand cars on fire? :)
Back on point, the Frenchman did really well, given that he had a pretty slow start and came back from behind to win it.
I see Dwain Chambers is back racing again. Wasn't he suspended a few years back for using steroids?
And what American would have beaten Allan Wells?
I remember reading that Alan Wells sent a letter to the people making the movie “Chariots of Fire” that he was going to win the 100 meters for Eric Liddell, and he did.
I bet the second place finisher was a German
An American probably would have won if not for the boycott. That still does not change the fact that Wells beat those from Jamaica, Cuba, all the other Caribbean and South American countries plus all the African ones too. Also the Russians often have a good one same for the East Germans.
Oh don’t let those facts get in the way of those who believe in black athletic superiorty....like Chris Matthews. LOL
I think Blacks are superior in certain areas. I was a sprinter and hurdler in college and often would be the only White guy in a race.
Whites are superior in other ways. You almost never saw a Black shot putter of discus thrower. Interestingly if you did see a Black one he was generally good, same in the sprints or hurdles. If you did see a White guy he was usually good.
I think baseball is pretty much neutral. There are probably more players from the Caribbean than there should be but that is mainly because they love baseball there. Same for boxing and Hispanics. I once worked in a sporting goods store in San Antonio while waiting for a civil service position. I bet I sold 100 pairs of boxing gloves to Hispanics to one for Anglos.
“I once worked in a sporting goods store in San Antonio while waiting for a civil service position. I bet I sold 100 pairs of boxing gloves to Hispanics to one for Anglos.”
Yet, most of the boxing title belts are currently held by whites....including the heavyweight division....but the MSM suddenly won’t cover boxing....Having two good looking white brothers, who have P.hds and speak several languages dominating blacks in the heavy weight division doesn’t sit well with the cultural marxists who want white folks to lay down and give their culture and society away. If you walked down the street in any major city and asked who the Klitscko brothers are nobody could tell you. HBO will give you “Entourage” and “Curb your Enthusiam” but not the Klitscko’s fighting a heavy weight title bout. If the MSM says its not important....its not important
