[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] The biannual World Athletic Games held in Daegu, South Korea just closed up. I saw most of it on the television and what was again very obvious is that blacks, who make up approximately 16-17% of the world's population came away with more than 50% of the medals--especially in the track events. The Russians did OK in some of the track events and the Eastern Europeans did well in some of the field events--but the East and West Africans--in this instance the transplants from Jamaica and U.S.--just blew the opposition away in the track events. In the sprints, a Frenchman named Le Maitre got a bronze in the 200 and is seen as some kind of "white hope" in this area. Unfortunately, no Asian--South or East--won anything in track--despite having more than 50% of the world's population. Interestingly enough, I also saw the world judo championship held in France. The French won over all of Asia, Europe, and the Americas. But guess what: the French team was mainly black. It was an interesting heavyweight final to see the the Africa-phenotyped "Frenchman" from Guadeloupe easily tumble the German champion in a quick flip. [/QB][/QUOTE]
