Re: Michael Johnson in Jamaica- great film
No Micheal Johnson did a program on Channel 4 and had a look at the theory that got a white journalist fired "that slavery was responsible for the speed and stamina of members of the African Diaspora.. (there is validity but the liberal press )
Johnson traced his roots back and even saw a picture of his great grand mother sister, who was born a slave...in the United states...
He spoke to Jamaican historians and genetisis... and a Nobel prize winner...
Dont u read my posts it was a couple weeks ago....Comment

I don't buy the slavery thing...the white guy from France can beat most descendants of enslaved people and west Africans and their descendants in general are gifted sprinters...Chinese gifted divers, the top swimmers are white...the boss distance runners are east Africans...it can't be attributed to slaveryComment

It's funny- when I came to merca the school track coach immediately asked me to try out for the track team which I made easily...
Some of them have no clue how huge track & field is in J-aComment

I was just going to post this. Yes, when they break Bolts run down in slow motion you can see the energy that is used to push him side to side. If his technique could be changed to direct that energy forward instead, who knows how much faster he could go.
Its hard to imagine a guy who has less than perfect technique, a curvature of the spine and who continually lets up a little at the end of his races can be the worlds fastest human. AMAZING!Comment

Re: Michael Johnson in Jamaica- great film
survival of the fastest.Another film by Johnson
See if u can find this some where else.. some things I dont agree with but he makes a connection between heart disease, diabites, and high blood pressure with the genetics of slavery.... This is how genetics is it gives and takes as the combination of genes has combines multiple effects...One apect of this that he missed while it addressed the strongest srvived the middle passage, it also did not address the fact that there was a high mortality hence a concentration of the strongest..as more slaves were needed to replace those that died...and were killed..
also the mortality of the Europeans was high.. (
poem had a line about the ships that went ot africa
the slave coast,
ninetu nine go in
one comes out
The Europeans had sexual relations with slaves... (and not all was rape) And produced off spring to the extent that few Jamaicans are totally African.. Thus the strong bred with the strong...
thus thoose that survived were nessesary the stronger hence a concentration...
over the years I advocated that Jamaicans are the Nitchehe super men.. to that yankki socialist who name calls this is why.. our genetics winnoned by history. It was not only physical strength that was concentrated but inteligence.. I suspect that it is not simply the strong that survived but the more determined, the smarter ..Jamaican bell curve is shifted to right....
When I do survival training one of the ideas (last time was January this year hopefully for the last time) that we are taught and it is constantly reinforced ....is that it is not the strongest that survive, be artic sea condtions or desert.. But the mentally stronger the more determined the more focused...
there was a case of a Icelandic ship that went down in the North sea.. and the only survivour was an ower weight 21 year old without survival gear spent 11 hours in 4 degree water swimiming 4 miles then two hours walking bare foot in his weat clothes.....Yet he had a BMI of 34...
I advocate that both blake and blake demonstrate not simply physical attributes but determination and intelligence...More adaptable.. The concept of Darwinian selection is thatspecies that are more adaptable will survive...
But the yanki shouted mi down and here is Michael Johnson partially advocating the Wahallian concept..

Re: Michael Johnson in Jamaica- great film
Wahalla, by the time you get to the final of any event, very very little separates the athletes, except what is in their head. Some say that this is what began to plague Asafa as much as his celebrated groin injury.
I once heard Mike Tyson's coach say that in his heyday, Mike's opponents lost the fight before they even got into the ring. In those instances, what was in their heads was...fear.Comment

</div></div>Wahalla, you are the man. I've been saying pretty much the same thing IRL.
Another thing: Like how Jcans do some very acrobatic dancing and diving, they would excel in gymnastics and diving. Unfortunately those disciplines require more money than we have. Pity we can't develop that potential.Comment
