Juantorena did win the 4 and 8 at the '76 olympics, but it aint going to happen again. Both events have moved on. Just like a white man aint ever going to win the 100M at the olympics ever again.
Why yuh so, never say never - you never know if the next 100m white champion might be from Trinbago self.
Remember Mike Agostini, Manny Ramjohn, Melville Wongshing (1970 CWG 4x400m silver), Rafer Mohammed (1980 Oly 4x400m finalist)
You are kidding right? When was the last time a non-afro trinidadian was a top athlete on the Track? Back then, it was not understood that black people had a genetic advantage when it comes to flat running speed (Hitler must be turning in his grave lol). I know this much, the winners of all the men track events (ex hurdles- Liu Xiang and Di Green are exceptions) at next year's olympics will be black. From the 100 to the marathon, Its not racist its a fact! Check the olympic and world record books since 1988.
That's your problem, you checking history since 1988, which is basically yesterday.
I notice you start backing by adding the Chinese and British athletes already.
What about Sally Pearson in the 100 hurdles, Van Zyl in the 400m hurdles, the Russian woman in the 800m, Jen Barringer in the 1500m, ehhh??? No Kenyans or African-Americans.
Sad to say, your statement make you sound more like Hitler, even though you trying to disprove him.
Humans are humans - I suppose you need fast twitch muscles to be great in golf and be an NFL QB. No sah, it's all about disprove junk theories and having a passion to succeed.
So go and tell your son or daughter that they don't have the fast twitch brain fibers to be a investment banker or attorney, surgeon or oil executive
Breds, prior to 1988, there was not widespread competing by east Africans on the international stage. There were the odd brilliant kenyans like kip keino and henry rono and the ethiopian maritus yifter, but athletics was not taken that seriously or as organised (ask any kenyan). In fact there were no kenyan or ethiopian women in the olympics until 1992! have a look on youtube. Now they dominate the distance events. So are you tell me that is a coincidence? In 20 years, 2 nations that never even entered women in distance events, now dominate and it has nothing to do with genetics. Yeah right!
How the hell does being a banker or surgeon come in to this? Did I say anything intelligence, desire and ambition?
Well sir, if you are from west african descent, go and tell your son he can run 3 minutes and 29 secs for the 1500 meters if he trains and puts his mind to it.
I am not backing the chinese and the british athlete. The hurdles are technical events and that lessens the advantage (hence why Pearson and van zyl do well and much kudos to them). Do you really think that these athletes would be as dominant in the flat events? If they could, I guarantee they would. Their coaches know this, but apparently you do not.
Britain won their first medals in a men's distance race at the olympics or worlds last week. Who won them? Mo Farah, a somalian, gentically east african. This is britain, where i live. Distance running has a long tradition and is taken very seriously. David Moorcroft actually held the WR for 5K before the east africans came on the scene. Is Farah's gold and silver an eerie coincidence?
I was at the national senior champs in trinidad last month. The winner of the men 1500m won it in 4 min 10 secs. You would not even get a medal in a women international event with that time. What, our middle and long distance runners don't train hard enough? A 15 year old top kenyan runner, will 'jog' 3 mins 50 secs. There is no way, he would have been able to train for a middle distance event at that age, that is 20 secs better that our current champion. If he was not born with that ability, well its rather strange!
Anyway, Hitler theories was based on racism. The aryan race was meant to be superior full stop. In sports (all events), in strength, in intellect. That is crap. I have not said that black people are superior full stop, because, I have said that west africans could never dominate the distance events. Nor have i said that ethipians are the smartest people on the planet.
Anyway, as spike lee said. Peace, 2 fingers!
Do you know an Ethiopian won the Olympic gold medal in the marathon in
1960, way before your Youtube generation??!!
Do you know that Kenyan women have been running distance events at CWG levels wayyyy before 1992??
And I know 4 years ago, based on your conjecture
you would have never thought a Chinese man would have won the Olympic mens 110 hurdles that the USA has all but ruled since the modern Olympics. So what you telling me, black people too stupid to win technical events like the hurdles?? (which by the way they have been winning since Jesse Owens days). Sounds like the rhetoric in 1970s Alabama that a black football player can't have the intelligence to be a QB.
Considering Farah and British distance running - where does he train, in East Africa? Why did he with his Ethiopian genes not dominate 2 years ago, maybe because he now has a
latin coach in Alberto Salazar? Couldn't be just his genes that cause him to win all of a sudden - hmmmm?
Ever heard of Gordon Pirie (1956 Oly 5000m silver medallist), Jimmy Wilson (1920 Oly 10000m bronze medallist), Sam Ferris (1932 Oly marathon bronze), John Rimmer, Arthur Russell, Percy Hodge, Chris Brasher (1900, 1908, 1920, 1956 Oly gold medallists in the 3000m steeplechase)?? all British, and you say you living there and you don't know this?? - hmmmm?
As you said, Kenyans only got good later on, actually it started in the late 1960s when an Irish priest Brother Colm started training them in Eldoret in the Rift Valley, so it is entirely possible that if Europeans have succeeded and now East Africans have done so, why not West Africans or Caribbean athletes in the distances. If your genes conjecture is right, why is it that South and Central American athletes also excel in distances and actually dominate the distance walking events along with Russians - hmmmm?
Regarding Hitler's claim of supremacy being solely racial in foundation read this: "In Nazi Germany, a so-called mixed marriage of an "Aryan" with an "Untermensch" was forbidden. To maintain the purity of the Germanic master race,
eugenics was practiced. In order to eliminate "defective" citizens, the T-4 Euthanasia Program was administered by Karl Brandt to rid the country of the mentally retarded or those born with
genetic deficiencies, as well as those deemed to be
racially inferior".
Racial inferiority is based on genetics, how can you separate the 2 in an argument - ehhhh?
By purporting that people of African descent are more apt to excel in sprinting because of genes is as racial a statement as Hitler's. If that were so, why the hell half of the planet's fastest men were watching Lemaitre bambsy hole in both the 100m and 200m finals??? Ehhh??? and he only now start to learn about sprinting - hmmm?
The point is (and I assume) my west african descended brother, just as you support a conjecture that only one group on our planet can excel in a given field, you also infer that others cannot, including blacks in fields other than athletics. So just as you said "a white man aint ever going to win the 100M at the olympics ever again", you sound
EXACTLY like a client I had in West Texas in 2008 who said "a black man could never be intelligent enough to win and be the President of the United States". So please do tell your kids and your neighbor's kids (whether chinese, indian, syrian, white, latin, african) that they can be anything they aspire to be, and never to let anyone tell them what they can and cannot do.
