Kevin Levrone and the race.

[MkZk]

ok. He lost, but he sure gets my respect.
By the way, the sprinter guy is 24 years old. Anyone knows how old Kev is?

Kevin Levrone did show up and raced Dwaine Chambers.
He didn't look to bad after the first 40m, Dwaine 4,52sec and Kevin 4.80sec, then after that Dwaine just took of and finished the 60m in 6.64sec.

-- straight from Milos.

The only question I have, is was the 4.8 time at the 40 METER mark, or the 40 YARD mark?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The world's number-two ranked sprinter Dwain Chambers beat IFBB superstar Kevin Levrone in a special 60-meter exhibition race on December 11 in Costa Mesa, California. Though the two were close at the 40-yard marker (Chambers was hand-timed at 4.52 seconds, Levrone at 4.8), the sprinter's remarkable world-class speed kicked in, leaving the 237-pound pro bodybuilder well behind at the finish. Chambers finished with a time of 6.64 seconds.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am more inclined to believe it was at the 40 yard mark.

Big fucking deal.

even i would look good after 40m. The point is, the first 40m is a sprinter's slowest part of the race. To say that Leverone was close up to 40m means next to fuck all.....where was he after 60m and where would he have been after 100m.

what was levrone's time?

what was levrone's time?

First time racing with starting blocks... coming from a history in track, it's a big deal. Knowing how to use blocks can help your time in a big way.

I know that starting blocks help a lot, but I was wondering how long it took him to run the 60 meters

 

[Citruscide]

I just know Chaimbers time... 6.64.. Levrone was well behind him though... probably not much on the "clock"-- but distance wise... looked pretty far back.

The inside joke is that Chaimbers gave Levrone a chance... at least Milos is claiming this.

oh so he gave him some hope and then snatched it away, that's gotta suck

 

[big4life]

I'm sorry, but for him to even think that he could run on the same level with Chambers is a joke. He's a body builder, not a wold class sprinter.

 

[The Shadow]

40 METERS - at 4.8 is close to a 4.35 in the 40 Yards

The 4.8 time was at the 40 yard split, not meters.

I'd of cleaned his clock in my day.
