This has to be the fastest track in the world. How many other tracks have seen so many 9.7’s on them year in and year out?

Also Rodgers needs to step his game up or else he won’t even make a relay next year

I thought Lemaitre got blown up on the start, but looking at his reaction time it looks like he just fell asleep. Give him Nesta’s reaction and he’s now sub 9.95

How can we have an ET meet at Rieti?? I’d love to run a 200m there.

I wonder if there was a sprint WR there whether it would get ratified….

Dont trust the times? Can they get them wrong? I know Laura Turner is no way worth the 11.11 she run in the year and also there was a Loughborough meet 2 years ago that gave out very fast times.

I usually find it hard to believe races where a large number of people PR. Bailey and Forsyth ran PBs by over a tenth. Having said that, Asafa broke the WR in Rieti in 2007, which was believable to me.

Asafa 9.74 2007 did.

Yeah that young girl ran 11.01 or something and then not close since…and some LB meets are hand timed because the timing system breaks….kinda interesting….
