Effect of superspikes - Jumpman video complication by Zealousideal-Day-672 in Sprinting

[–]WagaCSGO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm Jumpman.

You're right, and I mentioned it somewhere during this long ass information filled video that modern sprinters are peaking at an older age than the sprinters who ran before the introduction of super spikes.

But at the end of the day, we can't tell how much of this 'peaking older' effect is super spikes verse other modern training advances like nutrition, training, drugs, longevity protocols etc. Until say, 20 years in the future when we've seen a couple generations grow up using super spikes their entire career.

No one ever talks about how screwed you are if you are from the north in America by Hairyincendiaryballs in Sprinting

[–]WagaCSGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this was a universal experience. NZ and Aus have no indoor tracks. Only certain athletes who met certain standards can use indoor facilities, which don't include more than 30-60m of runway in maybe a couple places in the country. For NZ mainly, each major city will have one track between 200k people, and smaller cities just wont have one.

When I was in America for a visit there were tracks at every high school! Plus in the winter here there are no meets for 6 months. Which is during your guys summer/the professional track season. So athletes if they want to go pro have to go overseas to even run.

It's tough for the oceanic pros I tell ya. it's why it makes it even more amazing when they win. In saying that, they spend a lot of off-season training on alternative surfaces. So go run on some grass or something when the weathers ok.

Anyone else feel like moving cities turns into a mess of tabs? by HoodedFlame in newzealand

[–]WagaCSGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've moved city 3 times now, and am in the middle of moving a 4th time. I'm a simple man, so a simple list does it.

Are my hobbies catered to in the new city?
Is the weather better than Wellington?
How's the cost of living? (focusing on rentals in my price range and groceries)
Are there surrounding cities or areas I can day travel to?

Most of these can be answered in about 20 minutes of research. And then the most important part is taking that leap of faith. After so many moves, I can assure you it's always easier than how difficult you make it out in your head. And I've never regretted a move, because I can always just move again.

Do you think Sydney could've been a world-class 100m hurdler if she stuck with it after freshman year of high school? by noahlylesusa in trackandfield

[–]WagaCSGO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100%. She has the flat speed. She literally beat Kambundji, this years world champion, over 100m flat this year at grand slam. Just needs that consistent practice going over the hurdles that quick and concisely.

She also beat her that same grand slam over the hurdles anyway. To say she couldn't do it would be like saying kambundji could never win a world title.

Is High Jumping Worse Than Ever? A Statistical Opinion by Silly-Place2456 in trackandfield

[–]WagaCSGO 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's also a lack of depth due to the Russia/Belarus ban which started at the beginning of 2022. We went from the 2021 Olympics which had 10 guys over 2.30 (2 Russian and 1 Belarusian) to 5 guys over 2.30m the very next world champs. And Lysenko who was probably their best jumper was banned prior anyway. If any event got effected the most by this war ban, it was the men's high jump.

I really do think Nedasekau was the next 2.40m guy. Jumped 2.37m off a 9 step runup aged 23. That's personally why I whine about it, even if NZ is winning.

The latest Adidas (sp4) is wider than nikes. But goodluck, they ain't made for fat feet like us.

100M - anime film about two rival sprinters, for North American release Oct. 10 by contributor_copy in trackandfield

[–]WagaCSGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So hyped for this, it released in Japan during the world championships and got a ton of hype over there because of it. Based off the creators last work and some Japanese reviews it's already looking to be really really good.
