I'm just happy he switched training camps.

So am I, but I am not enitrely confident that who he is with now has all that is necessart to maximize his talents. However it is a step-up from Shaver...

Hopefully the seriously needed strength work that Richard needs will get done now. Might be too late to make much of a difference this season, but hopefully it will show for next season. A place in the finals is all I ask this year. I personally do not expect a better placing than Berlin '09 in Daegu this year.

I thought he moved from shaver to hsi, not so? Then onto where he is now... Anyhow whichever it is I hope he gets that strength and the speed endurance to finish as well as he starts. He is of now our best sprinter and has been so for quite some time!

I ask of him in addition to a final... a sub-10 which I believe he is fully capable of doing by September. I would love for Marc to be there too. I feel he is a sprinter that has not maximized his potential- in terms of his height etc he should be up there with the big 3. I'm till proud of his achievements nonetheless.

My desire, which has been so for some time is for some of our athletes, male and female, young and old to be coached by Ato! It would be great but it's a dream that may never materialize....

I hope the focus of Richard's new coahing set-up is peaking for Worlds only. Usually he comes to nationals being fairly sharp, but with the way the rest of the guys are looking a 10.0x will suffice for a win or even the time he ran today.

World champs are very late this season, so there is some time to start to get that ship back on track.

That guy Van Zyl from South Africa is something else. He runs a mean 400m as well.

Dont think that we will see two Trinis in the mens 100m final at world champs this year. Hopefully one will make it. I can ensure you that there will be 4 Yardies in the mens 100m final and the possibly the 200m as well.

Based on the results today, TT track and field seems to be on a decline when compared to other Track and field nations. I hope this changes before the worlds.

Sad to say but Richard not in dem fellas class ... to beat them fellas or at least get within their range he have to work at least harder than them and I'm not certain I'm seeing signs of that ... still looks frail and technique starting still looks flawed.

With his current coaching set-up, if he is a good listener and fast learner, he could make big technical improvements by Worlds. The first round of the 100m is exactly 3 months from today, so he has time for that. However for the strength department he will have to take this winter very seriously or else he will be permanently left behind...

Yeah, there are many critics who feel that RT silver medal was fluke. I dont think that he will be running a sub10 this year.

I do not believe it was a fluke, but what I will say is that he has gotten away from the training that took him there and shoul dhave by now taken beyond that point car accident and injuries aside. He had a steady diet of 200m races in 2008, whereas in the 2009/2010 season he ran less 200m races combined than he did in '08, and as far as I know is yet to run one this year. Not to mention that by looking at him I have yet to see any improvements in muscularity.

Just an example Richard got to 60m in 6.40s in Beijing, in Berlin Tyson is only 0.01s faster to 60m at 6.39 but ends up running 0.18s faster at 9.71. Now all the intangibles cannot be covered in that comparison, but there are somethings that Tyson does that Richard does not....

RT silver was no fluke. He beat the best of the rest. Everybody saw it on tv. RT came of an unbelievable NCAA season and went straight to Olimpics. Now, He just have to change and adjust to the new realities.

I agree. I dont think it was a fluke either. Its just that he hasnt been consistent with the 9.9s. However, I think he can get back to the 9.9s.

Die_Hard · « **Reply #18 on:** May 27, 2011, 08:07:28 PM »

Don't think it was a fluke either, he consistently made finals and ran fairly well afterwrads. It seems to have gone to his damn head though. I am so glad he has changed coaching...he should be getting better..I saw him in Jamaica duck at the tape to avoid coming last and losing to a high schooler.

Trini1 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 28, 2011, 03:03:08 PM »

Richard's run was not a fluke i believe if he is serious he can run sub-10. Why? he did it in 2009 after the accident so he an more than do it now! Some may have forgotten the 9.93 in the berlin final!
