Men’s 100m Sub-10 Club!
Socapro:
It's interesting to note that T&T is 4th in all time list of countries with highest number of sub-10 sprinters and that all but one of our sprinters who have achieved sub-10s are still relatively young & active!!
Men 100m Sub-10s By country
(All time list, only legal sub-10s are counted)
=============================
Nation => No. of athletes with sub-10s
United States => 37
Jamaica => 11
Nigeria => 8
Trinidad & Tobago => 5
United Kingdom => 3
Canada => 2
France => 2
Ghana => 2
Cuba => 1
Namibia => 1
Barbados => 1
Saint Kitts & Nevis => 1
Australia => 1
Bahamas => 1
Qatar => 1
Netherlands Antilles => 1
Antigua & Barbuda => 1
Zimbabwe => 1
Norway => 1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Total of 19 Countries with 81 Male Sub-10 Athletes
====================================
NB: I will do my best to keep stats up to date as new male athletes around the world run legal sub-10s.
And of the T&T athletes with legal sub-10s, Ato Boldon (who is now retired) leads the pack with 28.
T&T men sprinters with 100m Sub-10s
(only legal sub-10s are counted)
Name of Athlete ::::: No. of Sub-10s => Sub-10s Breakdown (Time, Windspeed, Location & Date)
Ato Boldon :::::::::::: 28 => Please see breakdown posted by fLaSh lower down in thread.
Richard Thompson :::: 8 => Please see breakdown posted by fLaSh lower down in thread.
Marc Burns :::::::::::: 3 => Please see breakdown posted by fLaSh lower down in thread.
Keston Bledman ::::::: 1 => Please see breakdown posted by fLaSh lower down in thread.
Darrel Brown :::::::::: 1 => Please see breakdown posted by fLaSh lower down in thread.
So T&T currently has a total of 5 athletes with 41 sub-10s between them.
Who else is going to join them? :thinking: ______
NB: I will do my best to update these stats as more T&T sprinters around the world run legal sub-10s.

Please note I also intend to update individual athletes sub-10 breakdowns for both the USA and Jamaica to this post in due course after I have compiled and confirmed all the information!
This thread is to discuss which of our current crop of T&T men sprinters are most likely to increase their number of sub-10s or to become new members of the Sub-10 Club between now & Olympics next year.
Please also help with any information you can provide as to the actual sub-10 times, windspeeds, locations and dates for all the T&T men sprinters who are members of the 100m Sub-10 Club so we can add to their sub-10 stats information above!
We would also like to discussion which one of our current sub-10 sprinters in your eyes has the ability to fill Ato's shoes in the gobal medals and sub-10s department before their career is over!!
Many thanks for your help & participation guys!!

Imagine that, tiny TT with 5. If we want more, WE have to do a better job of nuturing.

We also want more sub-10s from the current T&T members of the Sub-10 Club who are still active!!
Which of our current crop of sprinters are going to seriously try to challenge Ato's position as the number one T&T sprinter and holder of most number of sub-10s in our athletics history?
Or which ones do you consider has the ability to at least challenge Ato's record but need to get more serious and work much harder?
