great post man! i'll put some stuff on there in a bit too.

what event do you find the most impressive? I personally think long jump is the most impressive looking event, those people just fly. The most insane video on there though, is that triple jump, man he is so springy.

I agree that the triple jump looks ridiculous. But a video doesnt really do the throws justice. Ive seen a live 80m javelin throw. Thats just amazing. It just blows my mind how a person can throw something that far.

But theres no doubt in my mind that the field events are the most impressive. I like the sprints and hurdrles as well, but middle or long distance just doesnt make my day.

Yeah I meant 5,96. I weighed ~95kg at that time. I always had good horizontal jumps and speed.

A lot higher than yours, zgin.  ;D

Sickest video for me is the Sotomayor jump just because I love watching him pysch himself up. So intense, closing his eyes and doing those little jerks upwards with his arms, visualizing it and then absolutely killing it...awesome.

I like how Jon Edwards breaks the world record, gets really excited... and then does it again by 13cm and has a face that says, "oh... well, that's nice."

a hurdler on our team  thinks he is good enough to go to Stanford, but i disagree..he just got a letter last year, but i'm pretty sure he is not going
