Glen Mills has insisted for years that Bolt’s best even would be the 400. The 8 would be a comical bridge too far though.

Talk about burying the lede.

I’m reminded of a local paper around West Point saying that a West Point runner who had just qualified for the NCAA 1500 meter championship was within 20 seconds of the world record. While accurate, not a story.

Eligible for scholarships (though no one would waste one on a practice player), count as total athletes for Title IX. That’s the best of my understanding, but I coach cross country so I avoid those troubles.

Considering the amount of pro MMA fighter that apply for (and receive!) TUE’s for low testosterone, you’re actually not correct.

You just explained why Justin Gatlin should have gotten a lifetime, rather than four year, ban.

Runners world did an article year ago about a transgender age group runner. Her times as a man would have set the national 5k record, but once age transitioned, her time was nine minutes slower. Male skeleton is heavier to lug around for distances. I guess at the 100, that may not be the case since the deceleration is…

I’d give 12 years off the back end of my life to have her stride.

I didn’t make it clear. I wasn’t saying members of the men’s team. They are actually “members” of the women’s team. The rule is in place on the off chance that an athlete competes four years for the men’s and then practices with the women, or if a freshman were to practice with the women then make the men’s team as a…

Sarah’s coverage of this (and everything else track & field related) has been wonderful for the way she is able to describe difficult subjects like this without being patronizing or insulting anyone. I don’t think that anyone at Jezebel or even the amazingly talented Diana (really, Deadspin’s version of Bob Let) could…

Fun fact: it is now in the NCAA rules manual that a male athlete practicing against a women’s team will cost a year of eligibility.

I will never forget sitting in a graduate school class discussing Caster Semenya while I was a GA with the track team. Multiple people in the class (including the professor) told me I must be a terrible coach because the difference is “only about 15 seconds.”

The Flyers’ rebuild is going better than expected. Invest in your Nolan Patrick/Nico Hischier jersey now.

If Andrew Johnson had treated the Confederates the way Post-WWII Germany treated the nazis, none of this would have happened.

Barely connected, but I’m always amused at how athletes’ kids are viewed when connected to their parents. Mark Howe, one of the best NHL Defensemen in history, was denied the Hall of Fame for 20 years because he wasn’t as good as his father.

Most recently, this is your reason.

I will repeatedly say that Piscatello on Orange is the New Black is the best gay character ever. He’s an asshole, who happens to be gay.

C’mon, who watches movies that were made in the 20th century? They didn’t even have HD!

Wasn’t Vito Russo the guy that put the final nails in WCW’s coffin?

Are you...me?
