Good thing you didn't blink.

Sorry, obviously an 8 was intended.

>Sorry, obviously an 8 was intended.

Why be sorry? You saw a record no one else in the history of this board will ever see! My spectator PB:s are not even in the same universe as that one! Your name will live on for ages to come

My wife Mary has been to most of the big meets with me. We met in '75, when I was just getting reinterested in the sport. I have the Bank's TJ and she has 2 17.92s WCs '87, '01. She has me at the HT, with an Astapkovich 84.12 @ GWG '90. I had tickets, but was up to my butt at work, so gave them to the Hubbards. Of course, I was laid off early the next year, so working hard really paid off. I did get a pretty good severance. .

Edited to add w relays and numerous error in WC dates.

[gh]

So did John Bobbitt.

[Discus Chick]

>>Didnt you see Lebedeva in Budapest??


Yes, and her marks (6.98m, 15.36m)
>are listed under the women's indoor sub-header.

I wasnt actually talking to you Jon - my mistake I thought I'd quoted Garry who claimed only to have seen two PRs this year - at the Olympics.

I'm only just learning to use this forum!

[gh]

my wTJ PR surpasses Budapest

[mike renfro]

>So did John Bobbitt.

But ole John Wayne got reattached! :-0

Yeah, Kravets jumped pretty well! How does that compare with your (gh) pr in actually doing the jumping? This isn't being snide, just curious.

[tandfman]

Just edited the post that started this thread. (In case you're wondering what bumped the thread).

[gh]

You just wanted to note that you saw the Menéndez WR in Helsinki this summer while I was occupied on company business, so you pass me!

someone who doesnt even have enough respect for an x-world record holder to look up his name for correct spelling deserves worse than this! come on!!

and by the way janis's boa was named fred.

[kuha]

I used to keep a top-10 list of my PBS ("Personal Bests Seen")--talk about nerdly! I've let it lapse in recent years. The following is incomplete, but is what I can remember right now:

Men
100: 9.87 (and 9.78w)
400: 43.68
800: 1:41.24 (and 1:42.20, 1:42.47, 1:42.55, etc.)
1500: 3:26.12 (and 3:26.45, 3:26.89, 3:27.21, etc.)
mile: 3:45.19 (I think I've got the 100ths correct)
3000: 7:25.16 (and 7:25.54, 7:26.02, etc.)
Steeple: 7:55.28 (and "7:53.17", 7:58.50, 7:58.98, 7:59.08, 7:59.18, etc.)
5000: 12:39.74 (and 12:41.86, 12:44.39, etc.)
10,000: 26:27.85 (and 26:52.23)

Women:
100: 10.49 (or "10.49"?)
200: 21.66
400: 48.92
800: 1:55.19
mile: 4:12.56
3000: 8:21.64 (at the time, an unacknowledged WR)

This was mine, with one addition, posted above (for some reason) under "Guest." I only saw one big meet in '05 and it was wet & windy, so only one to add for '05...

[bad hammy]

What is wrong with me? (Or, alternatively, what is wrong with the rest of you?!?!?) I've never tried to keep track of any of the marks I've seen. I guess I could go back through the list of meets I've been to and try to track down marks, but I think I'll pass.

That said, I do remember one or two. I'm guessing I saw the same 9.78w that kuha did - Mo Green at the 2003 Payton Jordan meet at Stanford.

[kuha]

"I've never tried to keep track of any of the marks I've seen."

I'm shocked, stunned, and gravely disappointed. I know that there are therapies and support groups for this kind of malady.

Re: the 9.78w, I was thinking of Lewis at the '88 Oly Trials...I hope I have the time right...

Re: the 9.78w, I was thinking of Lewis at the '88 Oly Trials...I hope I have the time right...

If I end up in therapy, there are plenty of things for me to get worked out before we get to this issue.

My guess was based on - how many 9.78w races could there be? I guess the answer is at least two.

[SQUACKEE]

hey everybody, what about best highschool marks you witnessed.

4:05 mile
1:48 1/2 mile
8:55 2 mile
195 ft discus
whatever dwight stones jumped to win calif. state meet

[kuha]

My memory is fuzzy, but I believe that the fastest HS mile and 2 mile races I've ever seen were within an hour of each other and by the same athlete: Craig Virgin in 1973: 4:08.5 and 8:48.6. I remember how exciting it was to see a 4:10.8 mile in the 1970 Connecticut HS championships (by Jim Euell, on a very loose track).

[bad hammy]

Craig Virgin in 1973: 4:08.5 and 8:48.6.

Second best one-day schoolboy double ever, behind Rich Kimball's 1974 CA State Meet 8.46.6 and 4:06.6, run within about 70 minutes of each other. (Which I did not see.)

[kuha]

"wonder how all of ours would look if we eliminated Worlds/OG/GP meets"

In other words, you're asking: "I wonder how all of ours would look if we never went to any good meets?"

Answer: Pretty pathetic.

"wonder how all of ours would look if we eliminated Worlds/OG/GP meets"

In other words, you're asking: "I wonder how all of ours would look if we never went to any good meets?"

Answer: Pretty pathetic.

Not necessarily! You still have the Euros, Pan Ams, etc., along with a host of non-GP meets with plenty of great marks.

"Not necessarily! You still have the Euros, Pan Ams, etc., along with a host of non-GP meets with plenty of great marks."

"Plenty of great marks"??? I'd suggest that a look at the all-time list would not really support this view. How many top marks have we seen in the last few Pan-Am Games, for example? In fact, how does the entire history of the Pan-Ams match up to, say, any two Zurich meets from the last dozen years?

Being as how many, if not most, of the people who read this board will never be able to attend one of those nifty European GP meets, it seems interesting to me who has seen the best "non" marks.

Hell, with enough cash anyone can go to Zurich and see a bunch of superior marks every year. I'm always more impressed by that "Wow!" performance that comes in an unexpected place.
