That's fast. I seriously doubt he's got that kind of wheels. Very, very
highly doubt it.

remember someone, Ally McCoist i think, mentioning it on ITV during a
Premiership highlights program. ... I dont know about Owen though, but I
doubt he's as quick as Henry.

important the time in a 40-meter (yard) dash as opposed
to a full-field sprint.
But I have a hard time believing that Owen can run
100 meters in 10.4 - that's world class time. Something
closer to 11 seconds is more believable.

I don't think it's that far-fetched...Illinois had a freshman on their
football team this year who ran 10.3 in high school. Given the right
conditions, it's conceivable that a really fast guy like Owen could have
run 10.4 at some point.

Owen is fast, but I doubt <11 seconds. He doesn't have the flat-out speed to
do that.
btw Ronaldo was timed a couple years ago at 10.8.

I'm sure many players are capable of World Class speed over 60m. Muller
must hold the World record over 10m!

Yeah, but at least with the Illinois high-schooler you're talking about
someone who trained as a sprinter, which, to my knowledge, Owen hasn't. If
he can run a 10.4 without doing sprinting-specific training, he shouled be
in the Olympics.
That being said, you have to approach things like this with a large grain
of salt unless it's in a time competition. There are too many variables. For
example, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were half a dozen players
in the premiership who could run a <11 100m--if you're timing the last 100m
of a 120m run. (Remember, most world-class sprinters are accellerating the
whole 100m. Somebody like Michael Johnson is probably not yet even at top
speed after 200.)
There's so much technique involved in the start of a 100m sprint that I
don't think anybody who had trained for it could come close to competing
with someone who had, assuming they're in the same ballpark, talentwise.

In my prime before the broken leg, I was clocked at 11.4 (100m) -- just
freestyle. With training and correct body-conditioning, I'm sure I coulda
been faster.
Okay, now you made me verklempt...

Strange that you should mention that as when I was once browsing through the
record books, I saw that Helen Stephens, the raw mannish Missouri lass who
won the gold at Berlin (1936) ran the 100m in 11.9...I got the chills.
Do you know how they said she got to be so fast? By chasing jackrabbits on
her father's farm.
Me, my mother said I ran clear across the floor of our flat when I was 10
months old. In short, I could run before I walked. :)
> Are you certain of the time?
I had always been very fast -- though personally I can't stand track and
field -- and since games played a more important role in my boarding school,
I never truly pursued it.
However, just after I went up to Oxford, I got a letter from my old gym
teacher, saying that she recommended me to try out for a more-or-less open
call for female footballers near London. If chosen through the higher
stages, I could find myself wearing the three lions for England -- this
being when the interested entities were trying to revamp the image of
women's football and strengthen our squad.
I went, I passed the physical and skills test, thereon to stage two --
obstacles and running, where in one of the 100m dashes (yes from the
blocks), you'd think I was running the race alone: only one girl came close.
(And since the assistant coach was the one who clocked me, though mind
you -- he made passes to more than one girl, so trustworthy perhaps he
wasn't). Still, based on the speed and a little native footy skill I
possessed, I went to stage 3 of 4 of the try-outs.
I was forced to drop out for various reasons, but at least I knew I held my
own for a time! *sigh*
P.S.: On Friday, my mother and I worked out in my condo's gym. I love her
dearly, but I am also very competitive. Just let's say that her running 15
minutes more on the treadmill after I stopped did NOT please me. :)

Answer me this John Rose -- why are the Scots such good runners? Eric
Liddell, Liz McColgan, etc. I've always wondered about that.

That is pretty fast indeed. I don't know if Germany has more than two
or three on the track team faster than that (sprinting is really down
here... the best runners do the 400m).

Well, hand stopped 11.4 are around 11.6 with electronic timing, IIRC -
there should be a bunch of women that would be faster. But of course
they train for it...

Remember the 80s, when FloJo ran the 100 in 10 and a half seconds? She
would have gotten a medal at the German Mens Championship. *ggg*

I'm sure some other Brits will remember the Superstars TV show from the
70s/80s, probably most famously for Kevin Keegan falling off his bike, but
Malcolm Macdonald ran 100m in 10.9 seconds electonically timed on that.
That's the fastest time I've seen credited toa footballer.

Better living through chemistry [tm] :-)
The fastest German woman nowadays is Melanie Paschke, who is 11.2 plus.
There are only one or two others below 11.4. It is really weak, far
from the days when both BRD and DDR had top-flight sprinters.

Supermac! Given that was a couple of decades ago it's not inconceivable
for Owen to run 100m in 10.4.

Believe me, I'm serious, Djibril Cissé time is "less than 11 seconds"
(according to "France Football" and "L'Equipe") for 100 m. That was
officially said. Henry and Ronaldo run fast too. But I'm not sure Owen
"really" runs that fast. 11.5 must be his time.
