Wow - still great stuff for 1-2-3. Is this the best 110H year ever?

Have you forgotten the WR race? ;)

The 3rd place time is better, but not the rest.

DAMN!!

by **eldrick** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 5:56 am

aj was leading upto the 9th hurdle !

if he didn't have ring-rust, i think he couda gone a lot quicker ( even upto 9th hurdle his race didn't look that great ! )

i think the ole boy has still got the tools to win globals if he has a full, competitive season

12.88 +1.1 Liu Xiang CHN 13.07.83 1rA Lausanne 11.07.2006
12.90 +1.1 Dominique Arnold USA 14.09.73 2rA Lausanne 11.07.2006

13.04 +1.1 Dayron Robles CUB 19.11.86 4rA Lausanne 11.07.2006
13.12 +1.1 Aries Merritt USA 24.07.85 5rA Lausanne 11.07.2006
13.19 +1.1 Stanislav Olijar LAT 22.03.79 6rA Lausanne 11.07.2006

The 3rd place time is better, but not the rest.

He said best year, not best race. Also, this is a negative wind race and the other one was +1.1. I know the hurdles have different wind issues, but if we use the sprint corrections, this may be the best ever (making both +1.1 I get 12.85, 12. 91, 12.92, 13.13, 13.15, 13.16, 13.18, 13.29 using 1.1 -(-0.6)= 1.7, 1.7mps x 0.055 seconds/mps = 0.094 'correction').

[edit]
Having just seen the reaction times, Liu just missed being DQ'ed (0.108); the rest were pretty good.

Thanks - that's why we depend on you as the Stat Dude!

But the WR race's depth has to count for some subjective points.

It may be the fastest, but any discussion of "best" requires applying the proper historical filter.

I agree, so can you think of a year when so many athletes ran so many times at the tippy-top? (Hand-times are suspect in this assessment)

Before this year it was Tony Dees, 13.22, so yes.

What about the m35 World Record? I figured Colin might own that one.

Liu had a FS against him, so his gutsy start is pretty amazing.
