[fen107]

Yeah to be honest the records 43.19 not 43.18.. 3:20

[xinkaihuang97]

@fen107 no it is 43.18. look at 4:39. the '43.19' is a time timed by a stopwatch, 43.18 is the one timed by computer

[1sushicheese1]

@xinkaihuang97 lol its not even a stop watch. Its just the unofficial time. A stopwatch time would be somewhere around 43 flat

[xinkaihuang97]

@1sushicheese1 you were wrong, still. :D

[crazykid1078]

BREAKING NEWS: YOHAN BLAKE JUST RAN 19.26 IN THE 200 METER.

[4893053]

@crazykid1078  Go Jamaica!

[Porkytool5]

@crazykid1078 thats not 19.19 so no one gives a shit

[TheEctomorph]

@Porkytool5 That is not strictly true. The fact of the matter is that Yohan Blake's recent performance (in the 200 metres) was the second fastest OF ALL TIME. What is more, this brilliant Jamaican sprinter showed a phenemonal degree of speed endurance during that race; he must have covered the final 100 metres in a time of 9.20 seconds (or possibly slightly faster even than that). It seems to me that Mr Blake is capable of giving his fellow Jamaican speester - Mr Usain Bolt - a good run

[TheEctomorph]

@Porkytool5 [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about Yohan Blake]: for his money at the Olympic Games in London next year (in the 200 metres event, at any rate).

19.26 IS A FANTASTIC TIME - BE IN NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

[Porkytool5]

@TheEctomorph fair enough

[Degsywillow100]

good choice of song

[jacber66]

duck

[MrRize1]

[iMaDeMoN2012]

@MrRize1 Sprinting is anaerobic! You can almost do it holding your breath! Like swimming underwater!

[JIMBOESCORIA]

Ok gracias te puse el comentario en inglés por que pensé que eras británico

Saludos, Jaime

[prideone02]

[juninhopernambucano3]

bad vid quality

[TheEctomorph]

@juninhopernambucano3 But certainly not a bad quality performance. Quite the opposite, in fact. Michale Johnson's brilliant world record - which he set in the south of Spain on 26th August, 1999 - is still standing today; over 12 years on from those World Championships.

One of the incredible things about that performance by MJ [43.18 seconds] is the fact that he was no spring chicken at the time! In actual fact, he was already on the periphery of middle-age in the summer of '99.

[TheEctomorph]

@juninhopernambucano3 [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about Michael Johnson]: (MJ's date of birth is: 11/13/1967).

One wonders just what he could have achieved in that event when he was 23 or 25 - if he had really set his mind to it. Let us not forget that, in those days (the early 1990s) he was predominantly a 200 metre sprinter, and therefore his training programme was specifically geared to that event - not the 400.

Mr Michael Johnson - unquestionably the greatest

[Bigrobkerr]

@TheEctomorph no early 30's is prime not mid or early 20's. This is him at his best

[kozmon0t]

@Bigrobkerr that all depends on the athlete. Boxer Archie Moore hit his prime at 39 and defended his title for the next 8 years. Mike Tyson was past his prime by 25.

The thing about pro sports is, those who succeed early eventually lose motivation and move on to something else. Those who don't succeed early make no money and move on to something else, or starve. Thus the myth of the 20's prime.

[Bigrobkerr]

@kozmon0t very accurate statement

[TheEctomorph]

@juninhopernambucano3 [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about Michael Johnson]: 'long-distance' sprinter in the entire history of track and field athletics.
