Another Dash into the Record Books (wind: -2.1 m/s)
J. R. Mureika
Abstract
In the wake of numerous injuries and Donovan Bailey's media-stamped "sub-par" 100m victory of 10.03s at the 1997 Canadian Track and Field Championships, a medal hope at the 1997 World Championships seems grim for the Olympic Champion and World Record holder. However, when one considers that the 10.03s was run into a hefty head-wind (-2.1 m/s), a simple correction for this effect can help to restore Canada's faith in their sprint hero -- not to mention rewrite the record books again.
