Kevin Young 46.78 400hs WR Barcelona 1992

[puljacina]

he says he wants to run at the olympic trials next year..but i still doubt it

[KavalierII]

This brother jus ran a *slow* 400meter time for a 400m hurdles...I don't think he was drugged up. Look at Usain Bolt now; tall with ridiculous stride length....

[Evanschamp]

He blew up all of the sudden and faded just as fast. His rise is highly suspicious. His fall is just as telling.

[Zaxxen69]

that was dope

[Evanschamp]

@Zaxxen69 literally

[Tyshaundrea2010]

is this still the world record?

[woopee44]

Thats my 300m hurdle speed :(

[bumfist88]

imagine had he not knocked down the last hurdle

[Thesoulreplay]

rofl!!! i can barley when i say barley i mean barley break 50 in the open 400m and these guys run 46s with hurdles hahha dam freaks of nature

[Bajinjo]

As for Usain Bolt...it's a matter of steps

[PeopleThatDie]

@Bajinjo what steps? Tyson Gay makes 45-47 steps ,but still he has 9,69

[brewnz]

11-12 strides between each hurdle was the reason he broke the record. Edwin Moses was at 13. Kevin poured his all into that race after disappointment in 1988. He carried that for 4 years and it fueled him to victory.

[etuoyo]

This record along with the javelin record are two male records that will never ever be broken.

[mc1703]

that's what people said about the 200m...

[etuoyo]

Lol actually I was one of those people

[deco9987]

Doesn't look like the anyone will be coming close to bubka's or sotomayor's records anytime soon

[rcaddict72]

@etuoyo actually this one i think is the one that is the closest to being broken amongst all others...quite a mnumber of guys capable of low 47s around...

[mrcatohead]

@rcaddict72 the closest has been 47.25 hasnt it? if it is its not close, if anyone will break this record its clement atm

[1zxcvbnmasdfghjkl1]

He must have been feelin it cuz that last hurdle took a beatin lol. Great performane out there, that mans strides are amazing!

[kekkuzzo75]

questo è il record più pazzesco attualmente in carica!Si fa fatica a scendere sotto i 48 secondi figuratevi arrivare sotto i 47...

[TheInsaneGoon]

that was dope...

[teamgoobernutz]

@TheInsaneGoon Yes. Every race is a dope. everyone is a cheater. blah blah.

[PeopleThatDie]

What time Young has on 400 flat ?

[MzSexiiNissy]

i juss trained wit him d otha day very helpful wit techniques n mental status

[larok21]

he raised his hand before he even finished the race... he could have had a better time...

[ahmad2014542]

i seen him 3 days ago at a track meet.he is very tall i say about 6' 3"..i got his autograph

[brewnz]

@ahmad2014542 He's 6'5". I was a teammate of his at UCLA. He's a great guy. Heart of gold and cares about leaving a positive impact on others.

[Leimieux66]

ma ruiu??? da quando commenti l'altetica hahaha grandissimo

[IRedefinePunkRok]

personally, i dont think it should be classified as a WR if he knocks down a hurdle, but yes, he is fast, so do don't bitch at me

[KALLIESTORi]

ahhh he is unbeleivable. i got his autograph yesterday he came to my school =]

[Lyndehouse]

Doped or not 46.7 for the 400 meter hurdles is beyond belief

[incantalupo87]

ma che vogliono sti inglesi??x una volta k trovo 1 video in italiano devo leggere i commenti in lingua straniera...bah

[dudeguy927]

lol...penso che hai ragione

:-)

ma la persona stava dagli Stati Uniti...perO, hai torto...

[carterwelker]

What a beast!

[flintstonefingers]

Doping.... Your Crazy....i've known and watched this dude since highschool All-City, All-CIF, All-Pac 10 at UCLA and olympic Gold Medalist / world record holder.... This dude is the real deal.... His unique stride and hard work is what did it not dope....fool

[PeopleThatDie]

So why then since 1994 he couldn't ran even under 48s?

[flintstonefingers]

he stopped training as hard... when u reach the level that he did sometimes u have to re-focus your goals . He blew that record up and just needed a new challenge

trust me he is no doper.... a 39" inseam helps his unique stride

[brewnz]

@PeopleThatDie Flintostonefingers is right. Kevin was devastated after coming in 4th in the 1988 Olympics. He carried that with him for 4 years until the next Olympics and swore he'd leave it all in the finals. We saw the results of that. I don't think he was as motivated after reaching the pinnacle of being Olympic champ and WR holder.

[rcaddict72]

@flintstonefingers ..he never tested positive- so hes clean. same rules for everyone

[thekadath]

DOPING!

[dudeguy927]

nah he doesnt...trust me on this one

;-)

[awal1234]

This dude was up to his neck with doped. Everyone knows it. and recent revelations from the graham trial proves it.

[sprinter1045]

Wow...Kevin was such a beast...he crushed the world record taunting the last 10 feet and all....wow.

[dave04045]

lol He came to my baseball camp lol! He did a running course called Fuzioneering. This guy is unbielievable! I got his autograph!!

[XXXgraXXX]

He can run 12 to 13 strides beween the hurdles...unreal running.

[talljib]

had the chance to meet him back in 1996, he was really pissed off at edwin moses for not showing him love...but what a friggin run!!!

[cjmooney9]

Insane time. Will never be beaten.

[Gioacchino79]

Ma chi sono i tipi che commentano?Ruiu e Malaguti?

[Gioacchino79]

Ma chi sono a commentare?Ruiu e Malaguti di Telelombardia?

[Bens39]

13 strides between hurdles - a technique noone else has ever managed to replicate.

[wysiwyg248]

Bens39,

He run 13 strides because of his height (6'4") if I am not mistaken the tallest to run this event in the Olympics.

[tjaygib]

he runs twelve steps between hurdle 4-5

[aric2007]

They had a miscount... It's .01 of a second better...

[bluewhale18]

he could have gone even faster if he hadn't hit that last hurdle
