[avatar2222able]

go Mr short cock

[avatar2222able]

go Mr short cock lol

[MrBusunglueck]

his closing speed is better than bolt

[blessedbranch]

@MrBusunglueck who'e closing speed and in what event?

[MrBusunglueck]

@blessedbranch 200m lashawn merrit

[speedyslime93]

@MrBusunglueck No it's not, I timed Lashawn Merritt a couple of times on this video and his last 100m was around 9.55s. That's with a tailwind of +0.8m/s.. In Berlin when Bolt ran 19.19, his last 100m was 9.27s. Into a headwind. of -0.3m/s.

[MrBusunglueck]

@speedyslime93 i mean the last 10 meters. please look at that again

[MrBusunglueck]

0:18 is so funny :D carl lewis is her brother

[xcrunner000]

terrible commentary. spent half the time talking about something else besides the race.

[sokha326]

drug cunt

[lightpivot]

bolt is the shit you muppet, no one can deny that

[nykytne13]

blood doping pile of crap!

[TomsMVP]

steroids can do miracles...

[oFlashoPoetryo]

OKAY WTF this is about Merritt and NOT ABOUT BOLT WTF! This is why everyone gets pissed with Bolt because it makes no sense to bring him up in a convo or vid that has NOTHING to do with him. Unless he runs or competes in the race or is actually in the vi STFU about him!

[nykytne13]

Drug cheating piece of crap!

[Artaken]

many american athletes use substances to boost performance, especially the runners. disgraceful and shameful.

[guyzmatt21]

@Artaken its retards like you that people keep believing that track athletes, especially american track athletes cheat. Yes there have been cheaters and many of them have been caught but today with all the testing and what not there are clean athletes out there doing big things such as alison felix and tyson gay. Lashawn is a question mark cuz he could just have a small dick..or he could have been using something but i doubt it.

[phastman1994]

@guyzmatt21 I agree, but Merritt got tested positive for DHEA during off season this year because his dick is too small (so he says) I think it's bullshit, he did DHEA to cheat. Other than Merritt until proven I won't accuse anyone.

[Andyontherocks]

I wouldnt call him a drugs cheat. Yes he had traces of a banned substance but not one the will directly give him an advantage in competion. If anything we should feel sorry for him, what a thing to do to yourself! ruin your career for vanity! what a stupid bugger!!!

[nykytne13]

The guy is a total cheater. I hope they never let him run on a track again.

[InsaneGoonRules]

Drug taking, cheater, pile of crap!

[dldowell1122]

@InsaneGoonRules dude he just had a small penis and wanted to enlarge it, no wrong in that.

[Laughfiend65]

bolt been the shit before the olympics. in summer 2003 at pan am juniors and ran 20.40 and second place was micheal grant with 21.04 something like that... Bolt deserves his spot..

his ass got smoked in the summer olympics 2004. he had a bad race... he ran low 21s in the 200 prelims or semis.. something like that... remember he slowed down when he ran that 19.20.. the man could of broke 19 and thats a fact.. i think he can be the best at the 400m as well

[injendc4]

haha joel brown...the 110 hurdler

[KTD82291]

LaShawn Merritt is dope. Yeah this time wouldn't last, but Usain Bolt has run a few slow meets this past spring. LaShawn Merritt would be up there in the 200 if he were at the Olympics.

LaShawn can be just as good at the 200 and maybe 100 as what Usain Bolt will be at the 400. Usain has more speed, but I think LaShawn will beat him. LaShawn even broke 2 minutes in the 800, so he's obviously the stronger runner.

[ElliotHeath100]

a guy named carl lewis. it may have been a joke but that women commentator is soo annoying. she doesnt know anything. a guy named carl lewis you are kidding me on

[injendc4]

thats her dad. thats carol lewis commentating.

[ranhill]

Carrol Lewis is Carls sister

[injendc4]

yeah my bad. but anyway every time she says something sarcastic about her brother no one seems to pick it up and thinks shes serious or whoever says it is. people just dont pick up on the relation. and youd think if whoever was a track fan that theyd know that by now cuz she commentates too many meets.

[ranhill]

You do realize the woman commentator you are referring to is the sister of Carl Lewis, Carrol? She was also a world class athlete in track and field (well, she competed at that level.)

[barobsky17]

I don't like these commentators... it's just my opinion. These commentators always talk about sth. which hasn't to do with the event or the topic we see.

[TYPHOONATHLETE96]

The people he faced wasn't that good, no offence

[kantriberty]

for bolt first 200m 20.2 second 23.5

[MastaRimiks]

u guys all known that bolt ran the 400 as a junior and ran 45.35 @ 17 yrs old!? and is the only junior athlete to break 20. in the 200. so he is jus pure talent. and as far as the 400 if he trains right just a month or so he can probably break 45

[EntrepreneurLoveJr]

Bolt would probably break 45 right now haha. Just let him know and give him about 20 minutes to warm up and he'll roll a 44.2 haha. I think Bolt could go 42 in the 400. Watch. But i feel you on bein real. I remember UCLA wanting to get him when i was a senior in high school and they told me he ran 19.93 and i was like wahhhhh??? I was runnin about 21.1 at the time so you couldnt have paid me to race him. I would have "pulled" my hamstring haha. Oww oww it hurts.

[fightjunge24]

@MastaRimiks he was 19

[TheGatorRade]

@fightjunge24

He was world junior champion when he was 15.

[fightjunge24]

@TheGatorRade but 19 when he set the record u dumbass

[TheGatorRade]

@fightjunge24 You calling people a dumbass but you must not know he was 18 when he set it, look it up.

[kopk888]

@MastaRimiks mike powell says bolt can possibly be the first man to jump over 9m in LJ. That mofo can do everything :)

[2mliam]

@kopk888 Probabbly Mike Powell these days would jump over 9m....

[LRel2]

@MastaRimiks Many dont know that. he also was the youngest athlete to win a gold in the 200m at World Juniors at agw 15

[504king147258369]

im burnin dem i run a 20.05

[Nickyelunico]

this guy should seriously specialize in the 200! he's good

[abcd827]

carol lewis you suck at commentating. leshawn merritt ran very well though.

[s1v2d3n4]

commentary sucks dick the woman is a bitch

[s1v2d3n4]

merrit : 20.09s

BOLT : 19.30s

[Trueloot33]

so he hasn't been training for 200m and he ran this at some random meet so wut stands a better chance against bolt than any of these other americans sry the rest of these americans are bad

[GoingsGone]

i hate people who know nothing about track, but since the olympics and look at track videos and say bolt is the shit.

[MzShabazz]

Me too, he is talented. But you still have to know the sport to understand Tyson cramped, and that Merritt does not even compete in the 200m anymore.

[Gasto876]

I know Tyson was not a hundred percent at the olypmpics. If he was healthy he would not beat Bolt in the 100m or the 200m. If Gay was healthy he would have ran faster than what he did and thats scary.

Bolt would blow away merrit. Merritt would not be no competion for Bolt. Tyson is Usain only competion in the 200m

[dls2779]

Your right, but we cant sleep on Walter Dix. He is battling injuries as well. People dont know that he competed in the olympics with a hammy injury and still doubled on the bronze. Bolts only competition is Gay and Dix...(no homo)- Wallace Spearman is next on the list but dont pose a threat.

[zhcg]

haha no homo

[Hurdlerwayne]

LMAO!!!!

[Laughfiend65]

dont forget about xavier carter. 19.63

[blackbumbo]

lol, that's true, but honestly though, bolt is tha shiznit

[nikolidus]

you are so right everyone talks up usain bolt only because thats the only athlete thats in every track video just about on youtube

[dls2779]

I hear you but lets be real. If bolt runs the 400 (hints the lack of tranning for the 400 compared to Merrit), he would give Merrit competition. We wont know who would win that race. But if we talking bout the 200 I'm sorry we know the answer to that question regarless of the trainning. But wait till Walter Dix gets healthy he may pose a threat.

[Gambre114]

I don't know if you saw the Pontiac Grad Prix like a week or two or go, but the two people who will be giving bolt a run for his money is not only Dix but Tyson at the same time. If you did see his 200 run, you would've saw him cruising a 19.56

[dls2779]

I saw it, and your right. Gay hit a PR and slowed down at the line. I take my statement back about Dix. when I was at FSU training the other day, I saw him training for the Nike Prefontaine track meet. He didnt look too good--infact I think he gained some weight--it didnt look like good weight either. And He only ran two track meets this year and couldnt break 10sec. I dont think he is going to have a good season.

[EntrepreneurLoveJr]

Oh yeah Bolt is about 1 second faster than merrit in the 200 so all he would have to do is get relatively close to merrit with endurance and its over. I can only imagine what Wariner and Merrrit are thinking right now. Please dont come to the 400m Bolt. Please please. If Usain said im going to run the 400m for next year all the 400m runners will throw ttheir hands up and say ahhhhhhh man. I quit track.

[KTD82291]

Usain isn't ahead of Merritt by a full second, don't go by this time. You saw the competition that Merritt had.

Usain Bolt ran a few slow meets before the world championships, I saw a few. LaShawn won the 400, so he is damn fast; but based on competition he has underrated 100 meter speed.

[nTMiNdTriiKz]

@GoingsGone i completely agree with you

[mistergingerbreadman]

@GoingsGone listen... im a collegiate track athlete who's been doing track for 10 years, and I'm gonna say right now, bolt is the shit. He's naturally talented and is track's michael phelps. He's shattered the world record in the 100 and 200 and can probably do the same in the long jump and 400 if he trains for them. And the whole time he's done all this, he's just been a laid-back goof ball, not some stuck up snob, so yes, he is the shit

[jaredknight]

@GoingsGone because you need to run track to realize that bolt has set numerous records? your an idiot

[bossanimal1]

@GoingsGone idiot if u got a record in 2 events u is the shit, also bolt was watch from before his olympic days he is great stop being a player hater

[jaypt5281982]

merritt fuckn owns bolt!

[RBGdUP]

nigga are you stupid??

[theReturner13]

yah, owns him at the 400

[moses0311]

no competition

[amjan]

Fuckin' lame commentators.

[TrackShark92]

200m? wdf..

[bsidethegreat]

Lashawn and I went to rival high schools here in Virginia and he always won the big time races! Wariner better have his A game on or he will get beat again!!

[TrackShark92]

Wariner just beat Merritt @ Golden League in France....doesnt really say much though, its a see-saw battle between those two..its going to be a hell of a showdown @ Beijing..

[RBGdUP]

pretty much. i think whoever gets the inside lane will have the advantage to win

[TrackShark92]

True talk...I mean..its gonna be REALLY hard cuz even if Merritt OR Wariner has the inside lane...if Wariner can get out the way he usually does then he should win it...its a toss up right now..

[pianomax17]

Don't wanna spoil it... Leshawn merritt won!!

[hops15]

12 seconds...look at his kick...he pull away too easy

[speedyo93]

great kick on the straight

[miapluck]

Shawn Merritt is a family member that I had not seen since he was a little boy. I am so proud to see him grow up to be such a talented young man. Talent is one of our family traits but it is so pleasing to see it shared with the world through Shawn...

[charleston757]

Great Job Shawn!!

[Bahia82]

I love the way Carol Lewis just dismissed her brothers accomplishment,LOL. Merritt is really good, so is Jeremy, but what people dont realize is this is really addidas vs. Nike. Nike signed merritt to be the anti Jeremy

[lollollll]

Yea, this guy can really beat Jeremy Wariner in 400 this year i think. He has already run 44,36. I mean Jeremy only 44,40 something. Might be a battle between these two.

[WeBelieve2008]

"lollolll" you don't know what your talking about.. Jeremys personal best is 43.45, merritts is 43.96...

The fact is Merritt hasn't been where jeremy has. Don't share your input if it doesn't mean anything

[lollollll]

Merritt already beat Wriner 2 times this year. If Wariner cant get to his "normal times" witch start with 43 then Merritt could beat even in Beijinh

[lollollll]

but I hope Jeremy wins

[dubasher]

who won? LOLOLOLOLOL NOT Wariner. He needs more roids.

[GoingsGone]

you say that cause hes white and hes good.

[tbon3r]

43.78

[phaethon1988]

Yo, I think if anyone's going to upset Jeremy Wariner, it's gonna be Merritt!!! Merritt's looking mighty strong so far in the 200m and 400m. I'm wondering what he can do in the 100m if he trained for it.......but I'd really love to see Wariner and Merritt edging it out in the homestretch at the Olympics
