Talk:Asafa Powell

message: Hmm, something strange here!  First time I loaded the page I got a paragraph ending "He is fat".  Second time the offending (both senses of word) sentence was not there.  I think someone with better technical capbability than I should investigate.  (not registered - so no "handle" sorry.)
:Don't worry. This was simple vandlism, removed quickly as such things nearly always are. If you come across any more and feel like doing your bit to keep Wikipedia free of graffiti, have a look at how to revert a page to an earlier version. — Trilobite (Talk) 16:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: From the article "He is a distant cousin of former United States Secretary of State Colin Powell.".  What does this mean?  Does distant mean they do not interact or speak to each other?  Or does it mean he is a second or even third cousin?  The wording on the Gary Powell pages says he is a 'distant relative'.  That wording seems more accurate.  David D. 1 July 2005 16:16 (UTC)
:yup, 'relative' is probably less ambiguous phrasing 3 july. I entered it in on the basis of the Gary Powell entry; does anyone actually have a source to verify these claims?? 19:54
:The gary powell article that contained this info has been changed and a google search gives only the wikipedia article mentioning this fact. I have removed the paragraph until the claims can be substantiated. Robdurbar 17:57, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Searching on google the only reference I can find to a brother is Donovan Powell.  I think you are right, Robdurbar, to remove the link to Gary Powell until it is verifiable.

However, it could all have been very different had he taken his brother Donovan's advice and not become a sprinter. Asafa travelled to Texas to train with his elder brother – a 100M semi-finalist in the 1999 world championships – but after several sessions Donovan advised him to do something else. Instead he remained determined to carry on pursuing his dream and linked up with Jamaican coach Stephen Francis, who showed him videos of the then leading West Indian athlete Ato Boldon, the 1997 world champion at 200M and a four-time Olympic medallist.
http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/2005/05/11/world.shtml
After Raymond Stewart, Percival Spencer, Donavon Powell, the older brother of Asafa and Michael Green departed, the island of Jamaica, well known as the sprint factory, wondered where the next world group of world class sprinters would come from.
http://www.canadianrunner.com/content/view/4400/2/
Powell, the younger brother of Donovan Powell confirmed on Wednesday that he would make the trip to Australia to compete in the 100m at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games next March.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/14/AR2005061400945.html
For years, Powell wasn't even the fastest man in his own family, staying on the sideline as his older brother, Donovan Powell, competed in IAAF races in 1999, at one point posting a time in the 60 meters that ranked second in the world.

message: Can someone with technical knowledge of timing in sprints tell us why Asafa's run in Gateshead was not listed as a new world record?  Your account (and the IAAF's) is that the actual time was 9.7629 seconds.   From my recollection of elementary mathematics this should have been rounded down to 9.76 - a new world record.  In contrast with Justin Gatlin's Doha run of 9.77 the actual time there was reported as 9.7660 which was (correctly) rounded up to 9.77 seconds.
Please tell me how 9.7629 becomes 9.77 if we're rounding to the nearest 100th of a second?
ANSWER:  Excellent question, and you're not the first to ask it.  Unfortunately elementary math has little to do with this.  The IAAF Rulebook (available for free viewing on the IAAF website) is the final word, and Rule 165.23(a) states: "Unless the time is an exact 1/100th of a second, it shall be read and recorded to the next longer 1/100th of a second."  Thus, only a 9.7600 or faster will be read as a new world record.  Ridiculous as it sounds, even a 9.7601 is officially a 9.77. So we're not rounding "to the nearest 100th";  we're only rounding "up"... always "up".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.176.49 (talk) 00:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Split times are dubious at best (no automatic timing), and fairly meaningless since it depend more on where/how the hand off took place than how fast the person actually ran.  Also, I can't find anything more than message board/blog posts to verify the times.

message: I noticed that the information on Asafa's brother's death was removed. However, I believe it should be in the article, just in a different form. I'm certain there are a couple of articles where Asafa discusses how this event affected him, perhaps his track form too. The information should be reinserted and rewritten in a way so that Asafa is the subject of the effects of the death. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 16:49, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was the one who removed it, and I pointed out on the discussion on my talkpage that I only took it out because it seemed completely out of place with the section's material. I have no objection with the information being displayed on the page, but it would be far better suited to a personal life section as opposed to the ones detailing his performances on the track.

replies: text: I guess I was looking at the table at Asafa_Powell#100_metres where WAF races represents 50% of the entries, as well as in the infobox. For both I would have thought it better to reserve them for major championship medals.
