Powell Injures Hamstring in Japan 200m

[EPelle]

"It's a strain of some sort," said Powell's manager Paul Doyle.

"He felt a pain in his upper hamstring and then it moved to the middle of the hamstring which would indicate there is some sore of muscle tear."

Powell won the 200m two days ago at the Golden Grand Prix in Shanghai and Doyle said that might have been a factor in the injury.

"He ran the 200m in Shanghai and that might have influenced what happened here," said Doyle.

injury won't affect him, he's off for a month, just as long as he is good to go after.

An "easy" 20,00 a couple of days ago wasn:t so "easy" as some here claim.

‘After running a lot of 100 meters through the season and then running 200 meters in Shanghai... he arrived here a little bit more fatigued than he normally would have been,’

Fourteen weeks between races can -- and did -- have a negative effect on one:s racing over the distance again.

bullshit

if he'd run a 200 last year 14/52 after his 19.90, are you going to tell us what wouda happened in that race ?

tell us, woud it have been a 19.6, or a 20.0 , or a 20.5 or a dnf ???

what wouda happened if the gap had been 4/52, 8/52, 26/52 ???

can you tell us ???

Stop riding your rocking horse so hard; he:s not taking you to the finish line on this one.

Where do you get this tell "us" stuff from? More people than not disagree with you.

His coach said running a 200m on friday -- after only concentrating on running 100m races -- tired him. I tend to believe him. I don:t have to validate my reasons to your liking, so from whence thou cometh, please feel free to return.

[eldrick]

let's see :

he ran a low-20 late '04

then next race is mid-'06, coming upto 2y later, where he ran an easy-19.90

i have no recollection of you whatsoever prior to that race saying :

he hasn't run it in nearly 2y - he has no chance to break 20.3 as he's not race ready for it

btw i'd luv to return to return whence i came from, but there is no longer any space there as you seem to have taken up permanent squatter's rights in

wise-after-the-event-land

[EPelle]

Uh, right. The day I state he couldn:t beat a Bryshon Nellum at 20,3, someone take me out of this game.

[eldrick]

oh, but according to your own words "he's rusty, not race fit for 200, etc"

so what are we to presume you had him down for in mid-'06 ?

[EPelle]

Dude, back off the "we" crap. Can:t stand on your own two feet?

How many here have agreed with you on this? Uh.... none.

I didn:t concern myself with his 200m running in 2006.
