Re: Best track sprinter
Koichi Nakano was World Sprint Champion 10years in a row!!! I have to say that makes him the greatest of all time.

Re: Best track sprinter
I take it most here are from Auz?
I'm amazed that Gary Neiwand has had 22% of the vote when he has only one world tiltle to his name! Jens Fiedler hasn't had a single vote yet he is two times Olympic champion, maybe those that have voted for Neiwand could explain why? Lee |

Dont mean to nit-pick but Niewand has won 3 world titles that i am aware of, but only one in the sprint. He did the double that year with the kieren and absolutely demolished the Japanese guys at home in the kieren series, then went on a couple of years later to beat the french in the Olympic sprint with Darryn Hill and Shane Kelly. Apart from this he rode an almost perfect race (against two french, two germans and the guy who won the sprint at the same meet) to win silver in the Sydney olympic kieren... |

Re: Best track sprinter
There's a lot more to come from Flyin' Ryan Bayley. Worth noting that some of his Olympic and World Champs times were slightly overstated as a result of his kick to the line raising his front wheel - many of his times reflect when his BACK wheel crosses.

Re: Best track sprinter
Just on John Kennedy,wasnt he the World Straightline Champ or something?
Now the thing i find amazing is that id rate Darryn Hill and Gary Neiwand well ahead of Ryan Bayley yet Bayley at Athens has done what Hill and Neiwand couldnt.Oh and Bayley also made it look easy!!!

As far as I know, John Kennedy still holds the world record for the "Professional Outdoor Flying 200m", with a time of 10.405 seconds. 10.405 J. F. KENNEDY (USA) 24.08.1991 COLORADO SPRINGS (USA), V. 7-Eleven There's an error on the UCI page which states that he's from the USA. http://www.uci.ch/english/palmares/...ecord_index.htm Obviously, since 1991 the pros and amateurs have been thrown in together, so his "professional" is kinda redundant. I think the attempt cost him about $10,000, so he naturally sought sponsors, and was contacted by Zipp to use one of their bikes. I'm too scared to tell the story about his thoughts on the bike for fear of liable , but i'll just say that there were definitely moments that John wished he was on one of his good old steel track bikes.Last edited by 531Aussie : 26-11.-2004 at 01:09 AM. |
