Kevin Levrone vs Dwain Chambers 60 m race

[coolcolj]

Quoting Chris Thibaudeau

Well Chambers won (surprise surprise) but at the 40m mark Kevin actually looked pretty good, turning the distance in 4.8 seconds to Chambers 4.52. After that it was a blowout.


not bad

Chris T again -

Levrone can in a 242lbs ... he should have come in at 230 TOPS.

A 4.8 40m is decently fast (probably equivalent to a 4.5/40 yards) but nowhere near world class! I salute him for having the guts to run though.

Was the outcome ever in doubt? I mean. Come on! Levrone can bench and squat the house, but Cheambers is a pro track athlete here! No offense to Levrone, but his head got a little too big thinking he could even come close to a world-class sprinter.

kevin looks a bit tight - with a bit of massage work you could go better

Not bad for a bodybuilder who is much heavier and lacking flexibility, technique and actual speed work. And probbaly doesn't even train explosively

 

[danielson]

thanks!

its probably better they didnt race 100m or it would have been an even bigger gap still impressive for a big man

Not bad considering that chambers is some 50 pounds lighter than levrone, quicker, more flexible etc. Chambers didnt look that small next to levrone. How big is chambers?? 180 pounds?

Wow, Chambers didn't even explode out the start. He looked like was just jogging.
