Grischuk leads World Blitz Championship at half time (VIDEOS)
Alexander Grischuk is leading the FIDE World Blitz Championship in Astana, Kazakhstan after 15 of the 30 rounds in total. The Moscovite scored 10.5/15 and has one point more than Dmitry Andreikin, Vassily Ivanchuk and Sergey Karjakin. Magnus Carlsen, who started badly, still has chances to win the event. The Norwegian is in sole 5th place with 8.5/15. The second and final part of the tournament starts tomorrow at 15:00 local time (11:00 CET).

The World Rapid Championship was already quite exciting to follow, and it was no surprise that the World Blitz saw even more spectacle. Purists who can only enjoy high quality chess are not recommended to read further...
Let's first mention a few of the biggest blunders, to get a bit of that comforting feeling that even these giants are humans after all. (And don't forget that in most of these cases the player making the mistake had little time on the clock.)
The fresh World Rapid Champion, Sergey Karjakin, started strongly. He scored 4.5/5 and continued to remain unbeaten to reach 7/9. Especially his game against Le Quang Liem was impressive.

Magnus Carlsen, who seemed to be playing without much energy on the last day of the rapid event, surely wants to reclaim the blitz title which he lost to Levon Aronian in Moscow, 2010. However, again he wasn't in top shape during the first few rounds of the blitz. Already in the first game he went down to Dmitry Andreikin, who in fact is a blitz specialist.
The final part of Andreikin-Carlsen, round 1
Like Carlsen, another former World Blitz Champion, Vassily Ivanchuk, also lost to Andreikin. The final position isn't completely lost yet, but Ivanchuk just couldn't find a good move and lost on time.
Ivanchuk-Andreikin, round 2
The following game was a fantastic fight which ended with two bare kings on the board and smiles on the players' faces.
Mamedyarov-Carlsen, round 3
With 7/9, Karjakin was a full point ahead of Grischuk and Andreikin, but then he lost his first game.
Karjakin-Gelfand, round 10
Both Andreikin and Grischuk won their games to catch Karjakin in first place. Andreikin and Karjakin then drew their mutual game, while Grischuk defeated Carlsen, just like in the rapid tournament:

Grischuk kept the lead until round 15, the last round of the first day. Here's another victory by the Moscovite:
Grischuk-Ivanchuk, round 12
Magnus Carlsen had started with 1/4 but ended with 3.5/4 to finish at two points behind Grischuk after round 15. He beat Karjakin, just like in the rapid:

Seems like Carlsen was still upset from the lose, he started very badly, but with the win against Karjakin in the 14th round i think this might give him some wind for tomorrow. And lol at Topalov with just 1 win and 9 draws...
So here some lame predictions for the final top 3:
1. Carlsen 20.5
2. Grischuk 20.0
3. Karjakin 19.0
Being upset from a loss is hardly relevant as it happens to everyone.
But it was a very bitter loss because a lead of 1.5 points when only 4 rounds to go... this doesn´t happen to everyone, especially considering that not everyone has that high ambitions... its a bit of a very big loss don´t you think? I think it has some effect on motivation.

Maybe thats why he wont be world champ. You have to have the ability to bounce back. Look at Anand. Anand-Topalov match. Lost game 1, Equalized straight away in game 2. In the recent Gelfand - Anand. Lost Game 7, back in Game 8!
Maybe. But he had a night's sleep and it's a new tourney now. He's not a kid anymore.
"Magnus Carlsen ... still has chances to win the event." So do Morozevich, Chadaev(!) and Radjabov who are just 1/2 point behind him, why is one player singled out? :)
Interesting to have two qualifiers in the upper half of the field - in Andreikin's case, some people actually predicted that he will overperform with respect to his (classical) rating.
1 year 9 months ago
Because Carlsen is the number one in the world, and chess public is interested in carlsen's results, not radja's or morozo's.
@bigga As you can see, being rated number one in the world doesn't amount to a whole lot more than publicity.
Winning World Championship Titles mean a lot to the guys playing here than do Elo Rating points.
Btw, the world number one has a minus (-) score against the World Chmpion Anand.
1 year 9 months ago
yeah, but most of the games were played when a very young carlsen faced super-strong anand, so you should not read too much into it. its scary that at 21 carlsen alrady has more or less even score against most of the other fearsome opponents.
1 year 9 months ago
@bigga You place too much value on being number 1; means nothing really. The concept of "world champion" involves much more than leading a pack of top ten.
Its the players whole personality and many years of dedication and the months long struggle that make fighting for the world championship title so dog gone interesting.
Absolutely true.
Not to deprecate the value of #1 on the ratings by any chance (which is really awesome), but the title of the unified World Champion (..Kapsparov->Kramnik->Anand now) is very cherished for a reason - the reason being your line of reasoning.
Ah I get it: the world #1 is always worthwhile mentioning, others only if I scored better than him. If Topalov was still world #1 this short report would have been pretty long (Topa was never particularly strong at faster time controls and surprised many, possibly including himself, with his rapid result).
Saying that Carlsen still has chances to win the event is, at best, stating the obvious that anything can happen in blitz.
1 year 9 months ago
Speak for yourself. I am interested in how Morozevich does (and Radjabov for that matter).
The thing is that Carlsen has scored some very strong blitz results, and he is #1 in the world. Thus, when he is ahead of Radjabov and Morozevich it is more likely that Chessvibes will mention Carlsen's position in the field than that of Radjabov and Morozevich. And the fact that Carlsen is mentioned in the to Thomas unappetizing context of his still having winning chances is what makes Thomas unhappy. I don't think he will have to worry though, Grischuk seems clearly strongest this far.
I don't mind at all that Chessvibes only mentions the current top5, one has to stop somewhere. And I don't find it unappetizing that Carlsen's winning chances are mentioned, nor does it make me unhappy, I merely find it a bit odd. Put it that way: if any of the established players who are now ahead of or just behind Carlsen (Grischuk, Ivanchuk, Karjakin, Morozevich, Radjabov) were in Carlsen's situation - 2 points behind the leader, 1 point behind another trio - would Chessvibes mention that they still have winning chances?
I don't think so, so what makes Carlsen special? He is #1 in the world based on classical games, that's undeniably true and has been mentioned more than once. "Carlsen has scored some very strong blitz results" - in the given context this would suggest that he is _always_ stronger than his peers and today's result is a rare outlier. Let's have a look at his Tal Memorial Blitz results:
2008 Ivanchuk 23/33, Kramnik 21.5/33, Carlsen 20.5/33
2009 Carlsen 31/42, Anand 28/42, Karjakin 25/42
2010 Aronian 24.5/38, Radjabov 24/38, Carlsen 23.5/38 [the only time Radjabov participated]
2009 was impressive (but exception rather than rule), the other years weren't bad at all, but all taken together it doesn't imply that Carlsen is simply the best in blitz.
Winning the event would either imply an excellent score (say, 12/15) tomorrow or a good one (better than today's) combined with relatively bad ones for all four players who are now ahead of him. It isn't impossible, but is it likely enough to mention it explicitly?
1 year 9 months ago
I would say being the only player to medal three years in a row DOES imply that Carlsen is the best in blitz. Being the best doesn't mean you have to win every event, just that on average, you will do better than everyone else.
Yes, Thomas picks three top blitz events and Carlsen alone was top three every time, and no other player was top three more than once.
but isn't it just the 1rst place that we are talking about here?
""Carlsen has scored some very strong blitz results" - in the given context this would suggest that he is _always_ stronger than his peers"
So if I say that Aronian has scored some very strong rapid results I would mean that he_always_is stronger than his peers in rapid chess? I don't think so.
IN THE GIVEN CONTEXT referred to Carlsen's chances of still winning the event. This would probably require that he regains the blitz form he showed in 2009 - a 33.3% chance if we literally believe these earlier results, and even then Grischuk might keep his lead.
Carlsen's medal chances are still intact, all it takes (still a lot) is to overtake two of Grischuk (least likely), Andreikin, Ivanchuk and Karjakin and to stay ahead of Morozevich, Radjabov (and Chadaev).
If Carlsen has scored some very good blitz results it doesn't mean that he always is better than his peers, or that (as you say) he (in the given context) always must be better than his peers to win an event like this. He could obviously be worse than his peers next time or at some event in 2010 or 2014, but to win an event like this he certainly doesn't always need to be better than his peers, it's one single event that is being discussed.
Correct...MG is marketed by pros who fully understand the importance of branding and image...I'd love to see him featured at some film festivals/Oscars with a couple of very hot porn stars on each arm. Chess needs this type of image, not that of geeky shut-ins.
1 year 9 months ago
Andreikin is avery strong GM, who plays stronger than 2700 in classic. He was a former junior world champion and won recently the very strong russian higher league ( together with 16 year old Daniil Dubov) Put him to play in Wijk, Dortmund, Biel,etc, and Andreikin would increase his rating. It is sad that the same names get the invitations to play in big "western" tournaments. If Dubov was not russian, he would be considered an improved Carlsen at the same age.
It's not about being right or wrong ... . In a way, the Chessvibes report about the second day of the rapid event was "wrong" more or less suggesting that Carlsen had already won with five games remaining - not that I blame them, the eventual turn of events was hard to predict and rather unlikely.
Carlsen coming from behind in the blitz event to overtake four players seemed even more unlikely. Miracles or disasters (depending on who you are or who you are rooting for) don't happen too often, else they wouldn't be called such a thing.
Not getting a bit nervous after all? With two rounds to go Carlsen is one point behind Grischuk in first.
Well, that was close wasn't it? Carlsen 0.5 from winning the title on tiebreak and the premature celebrations of Carlsen's result almost reached a sad end. A bit like bronkenstein's jubilant "Carlsen finished third, DESERVEDLY!" in the rapid event over at Chessbomb. Then Topalov didn't find the win that would have given Carlsen a worse tiebreak in the fight for second place, and bronkenstein was no more a happy puppy. At least he got his chance to celebrate joyfully for a few seconds :-)
Well, in the final round Grischuk was a bit like a runner approaching the finish, not caring how close his competitor might come as long as he keeps his lead (BTW are you sure that Carlsen would have been first on tiebreak? Their mini-match was drawn - Grischuk won yesterday - and Mark Crowther tweeted "according to the commentary ... there will be a playoff").
I would say my predictions weren't that bad :) - I wrote that 12/15 would mean first place for Carlsen but he scored "only" 11/15 (3/7 followed by 8/8 !). And I suggested that he might win a medal, but actually expected bronze rather than silver. The main surprise today was Ivanchuk's 5.5/15 (after 9.5/15 yesterday) - at least if a result from Chucky is ever surprising. Chadaev also couldn't quite keep his pace (8/15, then 5.5/15).

Is Bologan trying to implement the Kasim's no-draws-ever proposal?
1 year 9 months ago
Very interesting to me is that Chucky is still around at the top of the results, no matter what the time control!
1 year 9 months ago
Is Bologan a computer scientist/engineer? He seems to prefer binary.
Or civility or fairness for that matter.
But away from Dalinov, he probably now has a better chance to be truly himself, whatever that is.
1 year 9 months ago
His presence at an event leaves a foul aftertaste.
The chess world is still waiting for a public apology as is his soul.
Afterwards, I firmly believe his zeal for the game will improve. (If one must be selfish within their apology, the reason happens to be present.)

Topa has already surprised a lot o people and probably himself at rapids. He could very easily have been second. Hmmm.... I wonder if he regrets not taking a draw in round 12 in the 2010 WChC with Anand?
Rapid time controls give the players time to reflect on the position....According to Carlsen, he sees the move he's plans to make very quickly, then uses the longer time controls to check it.

|Dustin Hoffman received a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival for his directorial debut QUARTET, a charming and wickedly comic film about redefining old age. Based on Ronald Harwoods stage play of the same name, the film centers on residents of an exclusive retirement home for musicians. Every year on Giuseppe Verdi's birthday, the residents unite to give a concert to raise funds for their home. But when a former grande dame of the opera fallen (played by Downton Abbeys Maggie Smith) moves into the home, the plans for this year's concert start to unravel.

Canadian and U.S. Agencies Partner to Modernize Food Safety
As Deputy Commissioner for Foods at the Food and Drug Administration, I led a delegation to Ottawa on October 21 to meet with officials from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada to discuss how to best cooperate on our efforts to modernize our respective food safety systems. I also had the opportunity to hear from Canadian industry representatives on their ideas of how FDA could implement the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) in the most efficient manner as we continue to protect public health. This trip furthered our efforts to reach out and collaborate with our colleagues abroad who will be our partners as we put FSMA in place, especially those provisions concerning imported food.
The trip also allowed both sides to step back and reflect on the importance of the U.S.-Canadian relationship in achieving the goals that FSMA has laid out for us, in line with FDA's mission to protect public health. On the trade front, Canada is the United States' largest trading partner in terms of agricultural imports. Because so much food is exchanged across our border every day, our governments share a keen interest in ensuring that this food is safe for our consumers. However, we also have an obligation to make sure that companies are not unnecessarily burdened.
A major highlight of the trip for me was the industry outreach session where I received comments and questions on FSMA directly from Canadian industry. We listened as industry described several different types of preventive control programs that they believe could be useful for FDA as we implement FSMA requirements. Industry also expressed keen interest in the Foreign Supplier Verification Program, especially with regard to its proposed scope and applicability. We also answered questions on topics ranging from the definition of "importer" to exceptions for small business to user fees.
Our delegation also engaged on a technical level with our Canadian counterparts to investigate areas where we could cooperate on food safety modernization efforts. Exchanging inspection and compliance information, with a view toward leveraging each other's resources, was an activity that both sides agreed to pursue. Also, Canada expressed interest in working with FDA's FSMA imports implementation team on best practices for import controls, laboratory accreditation and third party certification, among other modernization areas.
The FDA looks forward to continue working with our CFIA and Health Canada counterparts in the months ahead to strategize, prioritize, and exchange ideas on how we can cooperate to accomplish our common public health goals. Our respective food safety systems are already well-developed, but we recognize the need to make continual improvements. Our modernization efforts will not necessarily be identical, but I know that close cooperation between U.S. and Canadian regulators, such as we had during our trip, will allow us to move forward together to protect public health and continue as strong trade partners.

I think its good news that both the US and Canadian authorities are working together on ways to modernize and improve food safety and to harmonize these regulations to the benefit of both countries. However, its important that too strict rules are not implemented that makes it too difficult for smaller businesses to meet and in effect serves to hinder competition and thereby helping big businesses.
December 13, 2011 at 3:22 pm | #3
The following quote appeared in the background information for the FSMA "About 48 million people (1 in 6 Americans) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die each year from foodborne diseases, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is a significant public health burden that is largely preventable." http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodSafety/FSMA/ucm239907.htm.
The problem with that quote is that the word ESTIMATED is left out. The CDC estimates that over 3000 people die each year from foodborne organisms. Interestingly, there is no data from CDC giving the reported number of confirmed deaths from foodborne organisms.
I think the number of deaths reported in the estimate are grossly overstated and is probably less than 100, not over 3000.
January 25, 2012 at 1:51 am | #4
Couldn't agree more good sir. They also fail to mention that the majority of foodbourn illness situations arise in the home. Poor handling practices on the domestic front, a reluctance to throw "food that looks OK" out. Purchasing the "managers special items" in the grocery store, taking them home and freezing them, then thawing them improperly. This last discribed scenario has bacteria production rate that would make an ammeba blush. The reporting of half truths to support agenda should be regulated. Nevermind, we're smarter than that….?
This is an excellent post by Mr. Taylor. It is a little oblique; so it is easy to misunderstand. It is telling me that there is a focus, at this time, on understanding the affect FSMA has on close and reliable trading partners, such as Canada. That there is a willingness, when appropriate, to cooperate by finding ways to reduce the trade barriers imposed by the requirements of the FSMA.
Bad foods always seem to find their way into our country. Although it seems that most of incidents originate from within our country. Overall i think the FDA is doing a good job considering the volume of things that come into our country. I think the process can and will only get better!
I think also that its good news that both the US and Canadian authorities are working together on ways to modernize and improve food safety and to harmonize these regulations to the benefit of both countries. I Hope they will gone on to protect public health.

As Deputy Commissioner for Foods at the Food and Drug Administration, please explain to me how cottonseed oil can be approved for use in foods?
Cotton is not a food crop. As such, many harmful pesticides are sprayed to protect the crop. These pesticides are composed of harmful toxins like cyanide, propargite, dicofol, trifluralin and naled which are carcinogenic in nature. These pesticides seep into the cotton seeds and when oil is extracted from these seeds some amount of toxins gets mixed. Using such an oil for consumption can trigger the development of cancerous cells and make an individual more prone to different types of cancer.
I urge you to ban the use of cottonseed oil in our food products.
Thank you,
Dave Andrich
Cotton seed meal has been used to make Russell Stover candies for over 50 years. Cottonseed oil is used in a variety of foods from chips to salad dressings. The oil is also refined into glycerine and soaps. What's left of the kernel is ground into cottonseed meal that is used for animal feed and fertilizer. In fact, before I became informed of how toxic cotton has become, I used cotton seed meal on my organic garden. Now, I would never eat anything from that soil, but cotton seed is a good source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as numerous minor elements.
However, cotton in the USA is one of the most toxic sources of really nasty pest controls. I would not recommend eating anything that contains cotton seed oil or meal, or feeding it to livestock.
The chemical cotton industry in the USA eliminated organic cotton. Hence, I buy organic cotton from Turkey. Even India, which used to grow solely organic, was lied to by the biotechnology-pesticide industry and their own government about the toxicity of genetically modified and herbicide tolerant crops.
The plan by the biotech-pesticide industry industry is to take over the world and they are on their way with the help of the U.S. government and both parties. Collusion and greed is the name of the game.
Yes, good discussion, food safety is a major concern too! I liked!
I think Authority to prevent intentional contamination:FDA must issue regulations to protect against the intentional adulteration of food, including the establishment of science-based mitigation strategies to prepare and protect the food supply chain at specific vulnerable points. (Final rule due 18 months following enactment)
The industry outreach session, which encompassed preventive control programs, the Foreign Supplier Verification Program, and exceptions for small business to user fees sounds like it was comprehensive and encouraging.
Food safety modernization, swapping inspection and compliance info, and mutually leveraging resources will enable the two allied nations to protect public health as strong trade partners throughout this new century. What a productive meeting indeed.
one. Your own web site offers you more credit score and makes you far more skilled. The amount of affiliate marketers is increasing all the time and only individuals who have their personal areas on the net will stand out from the other folks. There must be a difference in between critical entrepreneurs and opportunists that will disappear faster or afterwards.
Food borne diseases simply cannot be eradicated, but at least we must do as much as we can to minimize the impact. Unfortunately, with growth of the human population and bigger food production every year, it's hard to keep up with problems that arise. It's good that USA and Canada decided to join their forces in order to prevent as much problems as they can.
You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation but I in finding this matter to
be actually something that I believe I might by noo means understand.
It sort of feels too omplex and very large for me. I'm having a look ahead to your next post, I'll
try to get the dangle of it!

The bulletin of Atlanta University

Loading content ...
NUMBER 111 ATLANTA, GEORGIA. JUNE, 1900 (Thirty-first Year,) ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. The higher education of carefully selected Negro young men and women, in both academic and industrial lines, is emphasized by this Institution as necessary for the elementary and industrial training of the masses. "Men of light and leading" in other spheres of activity are also greatly needed by the race that has so long sat in darkness. Earnestly Christian, as required by its charter, yet entirely unsectarian, the Institution is controlled solely by its own board of trustees, on which several denominations are represented. Some 300 students are enrolled under 22 officers and teachers. From the college and normal courses 353 graduates have been sent out, nearly all of whom have readily found permanent employment in teaching or other useful occupations. Situated only about seventy miles from the centre of the Negro population of the country, in one of the largest Southern cities, and at the railroad centre of the South, its location is of strategic importance for promoting the educational advancement of the South. Its plant includes sixty-five acres of land, four large, brick buildings, library of 10,500 volumes, apparatus and other equipment worth not less than $250,000. With practically no endowment, with no aid from public or denominational funds, receiving about one-fourth of its support from its own students, the Institution appeals for an endowment of $500,000, and, until that is secured, for $25,000 annually to meet current expenses. Gifts of any amount are welcome, but special appeal is made for subscriptions of $100 and upwards, and for $40 scholarships. Remittances may be addressed to Pres. Horace Bumstead, D. D., Atlanta, Ga. On The Campus. The Junior College and Senior Middle Normal classes gave a reception to the teachers and Senior classes the night of May 11. It was in every respect most enjoyable, and especially was the May pole exercise much appreciated by all. Supper on the afternoon of May 18 was transformed into a lawn party on the girls' campus, under the auspices of the Senior Normal class, who admirably played the part of hostesses. By special request the Senior Middle Normal class repeated the May pole exercise. On the afternoon of May 18, in Ware Memorial Chapel, a pleasing recital was given by Miss Clifford's music pupils, both vocal and instrumental, showing the individual work done in this institution, outside of class and chorus drill and the subject of music as a study, all of which come within the range of Miss Clifford's work here. The eclipse of May 28, which in Atlanta was .963 of totality, was eagerly observed by all. At no time were we able to look directly at the sun with the naked eye, but what could be seen through smoked glass, the peculiar crescent shadows through the trees, and the weird light, will not soon be forgotten. President Bumstead, Professors Webster and DuBois, Mr. Smith, Miss Dodd, and Rev. and Mrs. Means, took the excursion train from Atlanta to see the eclipse at Barnesville. Professor Chase was also there. All felt well repaid. The day was excellent, and observations all along the line of totality in the Southern states were almost everywhere successful. Commencement Week The weather this year was unusually cool, and the attendance excellent. We give a brief summary of the events of the week. Class Exercises. These were made for the first time a part of the anniversary exercises, being held the night of Thursday, May 24. The friends of the graduating classes and of the school came in crowds, and the classes of 1900 surely have every reason to look back with pleasant memories not only upon their class night, but also upon all the exercises connected with the closing of their student life here. Phi Kappa Anniversary. The annual address was given by Mr. Stephen A. Peters ('97), B. D., upon the subject, The Nineteenth Century's Gift to the Twentieth, and reflected much credit upon the speaker. Baccalaureate Sermon, This was preached by the Rev. Frederick H. Means of Windham, Conn., to a crowded house. The thoughts were practical and admirably presented. We give extracts elsewhere. Alumni Reception. This was given by the Atlanta a-lumni to visiting alumni on Monday night, May 28. The exercises in Ware Memorial Chapel, at 8 p. m., were open to the public, and there was a large attendance. Prof. W. B. Matthews ('90), the president of the association, presided, and addresses were made by Dr. J. R. Porter, Pres. R. R. Wright, Miss M. A. Boswell and Mrs. Dinah W. Pace. Those who had died during the year were eulogized by Prof. W. H. Crog-man, Mr. W. J. Decatur and Prin. F. A. Curtright. Music was rendered Continued on second page,

Re: track History
Man, that's detailed. But at least it gets away from the other history thread, with arguments over dirt tracks, and the Ryun fans arguing with the Ryun hater Squires.
Re: track History
Without doing any serious research on this, here are some random thoughts:
I'd put Oldfield higher and Timmermann lower in the shot. If you include Cierpinski, you must include Ben Johnson, etc
I wouldn't include Bannister or Beamon - take away their respective great performances and they aren't strong candidates
I'd put Owens (lj), Fredericks (200m) Edwards (tj) Schult (dt) Conley (tj) higher
O'Brien and Thorpe should be above Jenner
Powell above Pedroso; no worse than 3rd all-time
Myricks above Bell
I'd put Paddock and Christie in the top (100m) and take Hary out
I'd include Mal Whitfield (400m), Steve Cram (1500m) Harald Schmid (400h), Patrick Sjoberg (HJ)
Just my thoughts for what they are worth. Nice material.
Re: track History

>take away their respective great performances and

Well, just for the sake of argument:), i believe Beamon was completely undefeated during his '68 season.
Re: track History
Not to put too fine a point on it, but isn't being undefeated like being pregnant? As in, you is or you ain't, no "completely" required.
Re: track History
Are you the kid doing the same thing over on letsrun?
Re: track History
Great list! I listed my number one's in most events here awhile back, but you've really gone "the whole nine yards" with ten in each event! Nearly all our number one's agree, except I put Lewis ahead of Hayes in the 100, and Elliott first in the mile. Nice to see some agreement with my choice of Snell in the 800 and Kingdom in the high hurdles. I originally had Edwards in the TJ, but comments by others caused me to reconsider and publicly change my choice to Saneyev -- his claim to the top spot is stronger as of now.
Re: track History

I don't hate Ryun. I just don't think he's ready for sainthood. He had two great seasons, then won an Olympic silver medal, and that's all he did. I don't think that qualifies him as "The Greatest Miler That God Could Create", but I suppose my view would be different if Ryun had been my boyhood idol. I base my subjective evaluations of greatness on career accomplishments, and Ryun's are roughly equal to at least half a dozen of history's milers -- and despite the fact that Ryun was clearly better than Keino for a short period, Keino simply has more career accomplishments.
As far as evaluations of talent, I've coached long enough to know that when you talk about someone's talent, it's because they didn't fulfill it. No one talks about Al Oerter's talent, instead they talk about four gold medals. (The baseball coach next door, who has coached two state champs and one national champ, has a sign that says "A lot of players have 'potential' written on their tombstones. It means they didn't do anything.")
Finally, it's Squire, not Squires. There's only one of me.

On what grounds are you making these rankings? I'll simply quote someone else -- LA Times trackwriter Maxwell Stiles ranked history's greatest sprnters in the mid-1950s, and he had Morrow, Davis and Metcalfe all ahead of Owens. He picked a #1 man for each year in both the 100 and 200, and Owens was #1 only in 1936. I might be accused of heresy (or even being an "Owens hater") but I think he's highly overrated in the 100.
On the other hand, I think he is underrated in the 200 and very underrated in the long jump. He jumped 21'11" in the seventh grade! I might add that I've been designated the official historian of Ohio track & field by the state coaches' association, so I'm hardly an objective observer.
In the long jump, I think you overlooked William DeHart Hubbard. He was the world's top jumper each year from 1921 to 1926. In "Quest for Gold", Bill Mallon and Ian Buchanan called him "undoubtedly the greatest long jumper of the pre-Owens era". Again, he was from Cincinatti, so I'm a bit biased.
Re: track History
I may be a bit biased, but i would probably put Allen Johnson as the #1 hurdler, and i know several fellow hurdlers who agree. Certainly if he had been completely healthy in 2000 and had won the gold in Sydney, there would be no question. Right now, Kingdom's largest feat, i suppose you could say, was his two golds. Had AJ equaled THAT, he'd be far ahead of Kingdom overall, easily. Look at the all-time lists (i know that doesn't matter much, especially when comparing him to hurdlers of decades past, but in terms of comparing him to the semi-current Kingdom, i'd say it works). AJ has a ton of the top times.
AJ also crushes Colin Jackson in terms of all-time head-to-head battles. Add to that his World Championships, indoors and out, the fact that he twice agonizingly came within 0.01 seconds of Jackson's world record in the same summer, and that he broke Kingdom's OR in Atlanta, and i gotta give the nod to AJ.
Or at the very LEAST, give him the edge over Kingdom. Perhaps some of you could make a case for someone like Dillard or Foster, but i still say AJ is #1. Nehemiah may have been able to take that honor, had he actually stuck with the sport, and had the US not boycotted Moscow.
Re: track History
>I may be a bit biased, but i would probably put
Allen Johnson as the #1 hurdler<
I've seen all of those guys except for Towns, and my vote would be for Nehemiah. Of course, I'm voting on the basis of who was the best, not who won the most significatn races. I think Nehemian would have beaten all of those guys. If it weren't for the Olympic boycott, he would have won the gold in 1980 for sure, and if he hadn't switched to the NFL, I think the world record would be in the 12.80's and he'd still be the record holder. Behind Nehemiah, I'd go with Dillard, Johnson, Jackson, and Kingdom to round out my top 5.
Re: track History
>and if he hadn't

Then again, if AJ hadn't crashed hurdle number 10, the stats clearly show he would've run about 12.85.
Re: track History
Check that, i meant 12.80.
Re: track History
If you are so inclined, I'd love to hear how you arrived at the 20k & 50k walk rankings.
Re: track History
Just to throw out some data to support the argument about Nehemiah . . .
Is there another (men's) running event where the current WR has changed as little in 22 years as the 110 hurdles?
Re: track History
400 meters..Evans, Reynolds & MJ
Re: track History
I gotta say MJ is EASILY the number 1 400 runenr ever.
For a moment, spare me the old-timers' nostalgia. MJ had an insane streak going in the 400m......from 1988 until.......i forget when....97?.....he was undefeated in 400m finals. He simply owns the all-time lists.
Evans may have been "ahead of his time" with his record, but, with the correct altitude conversions, his record in Mexico City is only worth about 44.25....still good, but a far cry from a true 43.8.....
If anyone were to say to you "Michael Johnson is not the greatest all-time 400m runner", you should have their head examined.
Re: track History
Nice to see Bannister in your mile rankings.
In a funny way, I think he's underrated by most historians because of his poor showing in Helsinki. But remember that Bannister only trained 20 miles a week, mostly intervals. Miraculously that was enough to make Bannister the best single-day miler of the pre-Elliott era. It was not enough to carry him through heats, semifinals, etc.
When we talk about natural talents --- which always comes up with Ryun --- I think we have to include Bannister.
Re: track History
In terms of relying solely on natuarl ability, is MJ the greatest 400 runner ever? Taking into consideration a lot of factors ...
Re: track History
On pure talent, maybe only Tommie Smith comes close.
Then again, if only talent counted, Lee Evans might not make the top 10.
Re: track History
I was not saying that...I was answering the previous question - Is there another (men's) running event where the current WR has changed as little in 22 years as the 110 hurdles?
Re: track History
>I was answering the previous question - Is there another (men's)running event where the current WR has changed as little in 22 years as the 110 hurdles?<
The point was that in 22 years, the record in the 110mH has been lowered by only .02. In the 400m, the difference between the current record and Evans's record (which was standing 22 years ago) is considerably more, both in time and in percentage.
Re: track History
Nehemiah was the best high hurdler of any era and would have lowered the WR considerably if he hadn't been bored with the lack of competition and a nose for the greater fame and fortune of the football arena.
Re: track History
And Edwards is so far superior in tj that he ought to occupy the first five spots, followed by Saneyev, da Silva, Schmidt, Conley, and
Willie Banks as numbers 6-10 !!!
Re: track History
Ok I understand now. You are current the 110 hurdles record has barely been improved in the past 22 years which makes one wonder when and how much will it be improved in the next 22 years?
Re: track History
Rich K, that's an apt observation regarding Lee Evans. Very hard worker with talent, but not unreal talent like so many other WR holders. In one of the other threads, someone mentioned that Evans ran XC in the off season with the distance guys. Imagine some of the 400's big guns of the last 10 years doing that. Evans was a tough guy. MJ had all the earmarks of a freak of nature like few others.
Re: track History
Exactly why Lee Evans tops my list of personal favorites: Maximum Guts.
Re: track History
MJ is great, with no one to approach him in actual performance but I have no doubt that Tommie Smith could have also run low 43's if he had trained for/concentrated on the 400.
Re: track History
Does anyone think Gunder Hagg fits in as one of the all time greats? Maybe give Arne Andersson honorable mention.
Re: track History
Hard to judge Hägg and Andersson in that Sweden was the only major practioner of track--no?--that didn't have the fruit of its manhood (see Rufolf Harbig) off getting chopped up in WWII. (That, my being a pacifist, not a slam at all.)
Who knows what the "real" WRs might have been had the Americans and the rest of Europe not been busy killing each other.

Although times only mean so much, Andersson was the world leader in 1939, a few months before the war really began. He was already one of the world's top milers before his competiton was distraction by death and destruction. Hagg, of course, mostly got the better of Andersson. So it's hard to get a real idea of how the war affected Hagg and Andersson -- they still had each other to compete against, even if there wasn't much else.
In 1942, 5 of the top 10 on the combined 1500/mile list were Swedes. In 1943, it was 6 out of 10, in 1944 8 out of 10, in 1945 8 out of 10 again. While South America also continued to compete unaffected by the war, only Sweden had much impact at the highest levels of distance running. (Some Finns continued to race, but mostly in Sweden.) The USA, however, continued to dominate the sprints, hurdles, jumps and throws, just not as much as before and after the war.
Re: track History
Bannister beat Landy in the Miracle Mile (3:58.8) and won the European Championships 1500 that same year (1954). Maybe just a single year but not just a single performance.

Your list is well-founded and great fun. But you have to find a place in one or both of the sprints for Metcalfe. True, Tolan beat him in both in 1932 and Owens beat him in 1936, but nobody -- nobody -- will ever equal his triple double double of 1932, 1933 and 1934. That achievement will stand longer than DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. (Anybody remember what DiMaggio's streak was for the San Francisco Seals before he went up to the Yankees? More than 60 games, I recall.)
And in the 400, McKenley was a great all-around sprinter, but Wint beat him in 1948 and Rhoden (whom I would place fourth) in 1952.
Re: track History
Your list is

In the 50's, Maxwell Stiles of the LA Times ranked the all-time great sprinters. Metcalfe was #2 behind Bobby Morrow and ahead of Owens. Stiles didn't think it was odd, and he actually saw all of them run.
