Barnard Lagat won his 8th Wanamaker Mile and became the "Board Chairman"

This is one of the moments in the history of track and field that deserve our attention.

A little-known player from Kenya – Bernard Lagart came to the United States and graduated from Washington State University in 2000. He won the bronze medal for the 1500-meter run in Kenya in the 2000 Olympic Games and the silver medal in the 1500-meter run in Kenya. In the 2004 Olympic Games, he became a citizen of the United States in 2004.

Now he owns the Wanamaker Mile and becomes the "Board Chairman" of Madison Square Garden, the world's best indoor track – the venue of the Milrose Games.

Last year, Lagarde defeated the 7 Wanamaker Mile of the Irishman Eamonn Coghlan at the Milrose Games. This year he defeated it at a close match at the 103rd Milos Games until Lagart launched an awesome kick in the first leg of the final lap and won the Olympic gold medal at 1500 meters in 2008. The winner of Abelki Propp in Kenya broke out.

Lagart’s move is so amazing, so rapid and dominant Kiprop…

What qualities make up a good pitcher?

What qualities make up a good thrower? There are several qualities that make up a good thrower, those; speed, power, aggression, elegance, coordination, effort and dedication. The last one is the more important one. As a good thrower, you must have self-motivation and determination to ask questions, as well as motivation and enthusiasm for learning and researching events.

Speed ​​and strength can be together because they are relative. The greater the power a person can have, the faster it is through various exercises [sprints, lifts and techniques]. The speed of the throw event is horizontal and vertical [through linear, rotational and vertical forces]. For example, in a hammer, the stronger the athlete, the greater the force and speed that can be applied to the hammer. In a linear sense, when the athlete moves the ball forward through the first wind and turns to the circle, the athlete is accelerating the ball…

Four simple steps to a successful meeting

The following four suggestions can turn average or poor track meetings into a great experience.

1. Exercise: Track and field competition should not be the place where athletes solve weekly problems. Athletes should rehearse and practice throughout the week and season to build the confidence they need to meet successfully.

2. Arrive early: Don't be late for track and field competitions. Give yourself enough time to find a location where you can hear the announcer and have enough time to check in. When you arrive, find out when you must weigh the tool, or you must check in before the time of your event.

3. Warm-up: Similar to your arrival in advance, leave enough time to warm up before the game. On arrival, you should place your equipment and items in the same place as your team, or where you will compete. General preheating is used to relax the stiff limbs.

Before this…

Edwin Moses: The best track and field athlete of all time?

Track and field is one of the most difficult sports to master. Competition is fierce, and the measure of success or failure is one tenth of a second. With this in mind, it is almost impossible to imagine a man who dominates every game he has entered for more than a decade. This is the achievement of the 400m hurdler Edwin Moses.

Edwin Moses' iconic competition is one of the most difficult games to master. It is extremely difficult to jump across the track with 13 obstacles. This is an event that often changes the world championship every few years. An athlete can only catch them during his peak time in his father's time and in a younger game, which makes Moses so special. From 1977 to 1987, Moses won every 400 meters he participated in [a total of 122 people]. During that time, he also won the Olympic gold medal in 1976 and 1984. He will win the Olympics in 1980, unless there is a US boycott that year. In addition to his medals, Edwin Moses also created four world records.

History coaches of three high school boys

History of the runway

Athletics is one of the most popular events in the Olympics. Every year, in this exciting and ever-changing sport, old records are broken and new narratives emerge. What is the history of the runway? This is a long story that can be traced back to ancient Greek sports competitions.

Ancient sports

Running can be traced back to ancient Greece, where the football game was the only event in the original Olympics. In addition to the Olympics, the Pan-Greek Games also allow runners to participate in the competition on a regular basis. The Roman Games of the same era included running, but more attention to wrestling and fighting. Far from Ireland, ancient Europeans took part in the football match at Tailteann Games. In ancient times, the ability to run was considered a necessary talent, especially for warriors.

Transgender Olympic gold medal winner tracking star

Ok, I watched the Olympics, especially because I was interested in track and field events because I was a star athlete in high school and college. In 1964, my mother liked swimming. My brother is also a track star in high school. She pointed out that the victory time of the women's track is related to his performance in high school. It is actually a little bit slow, for example, 800 meters for 3 seconds. Ok, let's talk about the transgender issue in sports and the controversy of South African gal winning the game and winning the gold medal, but some people say "it's not fair, because in a sense, she is one of him. ”

So, no matter what the Olympic Committee found on this issue, what about the future? For male athletes, it is a fair decision whether they are women. If the male male genitalia is removed, can he participate in the female competition? You ask why you even ask this question?

Well, I mean all…

Justin Arrop: Uganda's greatest javelin thrower and track and field athlete

Javelin throwing is very technical and stressful on the arms and shoulders. In an area lacking internationally competitive track and field athletes, javelin thrower Justin Arop attended the event and represented Uganda for the All Africa Games, the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics for many years. In the process, he broke the record of Africa. Arop's national record still exists and he is still Uganda's greatest individual athlete.

Arop has a great athletic talent in his teens. In 1976, at the East and Central African Championships in Zanzibar, 18-year-old Arop won the gold medal at 68.05 meters. Arop replaced Kenya's long-term champion John Mayaka, who won the bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh in 1974, with an African record of 77.56 meters. At the upcoming East and Central African Championships, Arop will once again become a javelin champion [71.04 meters]…

John Akii-Bua, Judith Ayaa, Steve Prefontaine: USA – USSR – World All-Star Game held in Berkeley

US – USSR – World All-Star Athletics was held on Saturday, July 3, 1971 at the University of California, Edwards Stadium in Berkeley.

Recently, on May 30, 1971, John Akii-Bua reduced the African record in the 400-meter hurdle to 49.7 seconds in Kampala, which gained considerable attention. But there is some doubt as to the timing and track conditions, as this event is questioned on a somewhat unknown and unrecognized African track. However, at Berkeley, the 21-year-old policeman Akii is considered to be the main contender for the gold medal. The other two most popular are Wes Williams, who is regarded as the top competitor in the United States, and Vyacheslav Skomorokhov, Russia. Williams won second place in the recent national AAU Championship with a score of 440 yards [4 yards longer than the metric circle], an impressive 49.3; and Skomorokhov, who finished fifth in the 1968 Olympics, had 49.1 people. ……

Abraham Kwadu Munabi: Uganda's greatest triple jumper

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the outstanding students of the famous medical school of Kampala, known as Kampala, became one of the top three high jumpers in Africa and the Commonwealth. Abraham Kwadu Munabi, born on December 19, 1940, is like Uganda's 1960s champion sprinter Amos Omolo, who apparently participated in the major sports competitions in his later years. Munaby was the biggest name and medal hope in Uganda's track and field. The national record established by Munaby in the triple jump is still in existence forty years.

However, not because of his athletic achievements, most people in the world have recognized Munaby. Dr. Munabi moved to the United States for advanced research in the late 1970s, where he participated in the replication of professional experiments and research. For more than three decades, Munabi's name has appeared in a series of research papers. Munabi is a fertility expert, reproductive…
