[emmanuel94e]

i am afraid joking with the french dudes in my class because of this guy:(

[kissurworm]

that reaction time is incredible

[Dancrof80s]

that hoe is movin

[harshjindal1always]

hey that kiddo is very fast man

[firedude2106]

who runs 60 meters as a race these days? thats what little kids do.

[PongGod]

@firedude2106 No, that's what world class sprinters run during the indoor season.

[nathanr05]

I'm 10 years old and so is my friend and we both ran 60m in about 7.2 seconds with no track experience. No joke

[michaelangelflyer988]

@nathanr05 if you guys did such well,probably the next track star,keep on the good work & wish u guys good luck :)

[MrPatschn]

@nathanr05 Sorry, a 10 years old child can NEVER run a 7.2

[rickrollingisgay]

@nathanr05 impossible lol... physically, it's impossible because your legs are so tiny you can't produce the stride to gain any momentum for speed... thats why little kids are so slow

[nathanr05]

@rickrollingisgay My legs are actually long. Im 5"2

[rickrollingisgay]

@nathanr05 still doesn't mean you run 7.2 in 60 meters... I'm not trying to be an arrogant ass here because I've never done indoor track which holds the 60m but I can tell you my friend won the sectional AA invitation meet, if you know what that is anyway, and he barely pulled out 7.2's and he's 5'11 and 18. maybe make a video or something

[NeilK994]

@nathanr05 Congratulations dude, you will be running a 6.2 by the time ur 16. -_-

[MrPatschn]

Its by me like my NDF211Gunner, I am just younger, 15, and run by about 7.5 sec. but I am not sure, i begonn in summer with training, and since there i became no new time said from my trainer, is that fast?

[MrPedro9128]

@MrPatschn christophe lemaitre started athletics at 15 years old ! he ran at 15 years old 50M : 6.28s 60M : 7,52 at 16 years old 50M : 6,02 60M : 6,96 at 17 years old 50M : 5,86 60M : 6,73

[MrPatschn]

@MrPedro9128 Did he do some sports before he begonn with athletics?

[MrPedro9128]

@MrPatschn

yeah, football, handball !

[MrPatschn]

@MrPedro9128 Well, but I done no kind off sport before i begonn with athletics :D But thanks for that informations (:

[thehenchdude]

i ran 0.001 in the 1 milimeter race. is that good?

[RdonZOME]

@thehenchdude LMAO

[mmack9]

@NDF211Gunner yes thats actually good. I'm not a 60 runner (200 and 400 guy) and I did it in 7.2 but that was also when i was 17 a year older than you and i had been working hard for a while. unfortunately the 60 is an event with little to no strategy (besides the blocks and start of course) so besides working out not much you can adjust to in that one unlike the 4 or 8 where experience and learning the sport helps a lot. its just a full speed race. work on leg strength for that one.

[shaolinpupis1]

7.7sec on stop watch is equlent 8.2sec on laser trackfield

[Altinby]

Кристоф, молодчина, сделал всех

[benchaffleck]

Yeah whatever. There will always be problems so get used to them.

[123454theone]

I am shocked!!

[benchaffleck]

slow ass white boys



[marmar3291]

@benchaffleck lol quit being racist.

[benchaffleck]

@marmar3291 Nah



[marmar3291]

@benchaffleck if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

[MrPatschn]

I am 14 years old an run over 60 m about 7.5 sec without spikes, i just atheletic in the end of this summer of this year. is that fast or slowly?

[VenoHaze]

i saw a clip of lemaitre in a 100 and thought "damn he accelerates fast". now i know why

[MrJuha82]

What faster you are earlier of /on this trip so its all great thing but you needs also a some endurance as well, there is maxim speed which eat a lot of powers and endurance so your endurance have to be good but with a right way. Sprinter dont need any long trip runners physic i know. But i have heared those some famous great Sprinters also runs about 300-400 meter trips as i mean now 100-200 meter runners. Great sport is Athletics.

[RawAthlete]

Definitely has good body structure/shape for sprinting!

[BoboSLO1]

so do i, when i was 15 my best result was 7.76 , but i dont have track experience, and i dont even train o.O

[VideoSupercar]

@NDF211Gunner That is Excellent for somebody with no track experience, but if you are taking the sport seriously, you need to be doing 7.5s or quicker. But with training, I don't see why you can't achieve that, best of luck my friend :)

[NDF211Gunner]

@VideoSupercar Hey thanks man. I am joining track in the spring so maybe I'll work on getting it to 7 flat.

[ruzha2l]

@VideoSupercar my friend, who is 14 can do 7,8... he just plays football :)

[NDF211Gunner]

@VideoSupercar I forgot to say that I also ran it on concrete... it was rough on my legs... does that make a difference cause I didn't have spikes on.

[Cavar21]

@VideoSupercar yeah I agree that's excellent..im a javelin thrower 19years and I run 8.10 pretty bad :( wish I had genetics like u

[Apocaalyp]

@VideoSupercar im 15 years old and today in school i ran 30 meters in 3,78 is it good ?

[dal4018]

@NDF211Gunner You need to get faster MUCH faster

[OjieSprints]

@NDF211Gunner ; for a 16year old 7.7 isn't the best time .. but there's nothing training can't fix

[derpssweden839]

@NDF211Gunner You ran 60 m in 7.7 with no track experience and you do not know if that is good. THAT IS SUPER GOOD!

[franzgattes]

@NDF211Gunner Haha i do NOT believe you :)

[NDF211Gunner]

@franzgattes Then you wake up.

[SlashTheGuitarist]

@franzgattes That's really bad considering you can't last one minute without bustin a nut.

[MegaKennedy2000]

@NDF211Gunner for someone who is untrained in Sprinting it is a good Time. I am also 16 years and my PB is 7.52s and i am trained. Think you should keeping on

[NDF211Gunner]

@MegaKennedy2000 Yeah, I ran 7.7 on concrete with no starting blocks or spikes, so I'm sure I can get 7.5 if I do

[MrJamell21]

The powers that be is has created a White Man to compete with The Black Sprinters to Fulfill the dream of the White Race being superior. But it will never happen Usain Bolt all day.

[Jaijaijaijaijaijai]

@GrigOrigTK I have no direct facts. I have no direct proof. All I have is questions. Though Olympic steroid testing had been in effect since 1976, testing for masking/blocking agents wasn't implemented until after the 1988 Olympics (I've yet to find an exact date, but it wasn't before 1988). My question is this: Is it possible that Lewis consumed steroids and masking agents during the mid to late 80's?

[Jaijaijaijaijaijai]

@GrigOrigTK

Testing for diuretics wasn't performed until 1988.

Testing for Steroid masking/blocking agents wasn't performed until after 1988.

Some believe Lewis was the poster boy for masking agents.

Steroid cheaters are always ahead of the testing technology.

Your blind acceptance of Lewis' innocence is charming, albeit naive. You put way to much emotion into something that happened years ago, but I can't wait for you overly emotional temper tantrum response on such a moot point.

[Jaijaijaijaijaijai]

@GrigOrigTK "Carl Lewis has broken his silence on allegations that he was the beneficiary of a drugs cover-up, admitting he had tested positive for banned substances but claiming he was just one of "hundreds" of American athletes who were allowed to escape bans." The Guardian - Wednesday 23 April 2003.

Sports is big business full of liars and cheaters who want the big bucks. Your hero, Lewis is just another one. Believe what you want, but try not getting so emotional about it.

[Jaijaijaijaijaijai]

@GrigOrigTK Just because they don't get caught doesn't mean they don't use it. Is a thief still a criminal even though he hasn't been caught? Lewis' muscles were ripped! It's naive to think sprinters don't use steroids. But you think Lewis was as innocent as a boy scout. Cold remedy! Ha!

[Dreadlord67]

@GrigOrigTK Well he's one of the fastest men on earth, but guess who's been ahead of him the past few big 100m races? Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt. Asafa has the best start, in the 100m race, in the world without a doubt, but if he can't win when his competition (Usain Bolt) gets a WORSE start, then obviously Asafa needs a higher top speed, right? And let's think. Maybe less anxiety=more speed? Take a moment to look at all the sides of someone's opinion before declaring it bullshit, man. Not cool.

[Dreadlord67]

Usain Bolt shoudl really take a look at how these guys burst out of the blocks. That's the only thing Usain Bolt needs to improve his time. Asafa Powell...well he just needs more speed. He's already got the beat start in all of Track & Field.

[AttackTheGasStation1]

If they do some drug tests, Lemaitre will be number 1 in London. Everyone know that all american, jamaican are on drugs.

[saddypaddy9]

they probably you r a jackass ..like every one else

[Jaijaijaijaijaijai]

A skinny, steroid-free white kid winning a sprint? What do you think black steroid sprinters? Johnson? Chambers? Lewis? (Probably Bolt too).

[samiuv22]

21 years old he gets 19.80 in 200m. Usain bolt is 25 imagine what Christophe Lemaitre wil get at that age

[ShinTec9]

@samiuv22 BUT YOHAN BLAKE IS 21 AND RAN 19:26 IN 200M SECOND FASTEST TIME IN HISTORY YOUR POINT BEING

[AttackTheGasStation1]

@ShinTec9 LOL blake is doped

[ShinTec9]

@AttackTheGasStation1 I DISAGREE

[Dreadlord67]

@ShinTec9 Yohan blake ran a 19.26 you're right, but Usain Bolt ran a 19.19 in the 200m. THAT is the fastest time in history, not yohan's.

[ShinTec9]

@Dreadlord67 I SED 2-3 YRS YEARS HE WILL RUN UNDER 19 SECONDS

[pabanil]

Bolt and Yohan Blake is the best sprinter in 100m and 200m.

[polychronio]

The fastest European in history

The fastest man of his age in history

One of the fastest top-speeds in sprinting history

The most phenomenal accelleration

His name Lemaitre translates to "the master"

The 1s white man to get a sub-10 seconds

Lemaitre is cenrtainly the finest European splinter of the 21st century

[TVathletic]

nice time for his bad start

[matthewmullings1]

the only thing he can do better than Bolt is speak french.

[145bobby]

He needs to get stronger, his height is great, he needs better form and he may beat bolt some day..

[eduds6]

@145bobby

Yeah,he need much more muscles and training on his starts. But Its really difficult to beat Usain. Maybe he can do it on his 25-26 Years,but he needs much more experience and training to do it.

[eduds6]

@145bobby

Yeah,he need much more muscles and training on his starts. But Its really difficult to beat Usain. Maybe he can do it on his 25-26 Years,but he needs much more experience and training to do it.

[JohtajaSaku]

My littlebrther (9) years old, run 60 meters 8,50 seconds.

[K1rkHammet]

He's very funny. He was kind when he talked to our norwegian reporter :D

[bezkrock]

bolt does it in 5 sec xD

[ghune]

There is even more amazing, Teddy Riner who is 20 year old and is 5 times world champion in Judo.

2.04 meters and about 130 kg !!

[Connormanser]

what the hell is electricalbah talking about?

[electricalbah]

Christope Lamaitre: first genetically engineered athlete

What is the world coming to????

[MajkolLaIo]

@electricalbah i dont get it?

[communismkills1]

@electricalbah because he is white?

[NDF211Gunner]

@electricalbah Who's christope? Do you mean Christophe?

[snizshizzle]

Once this guy gets his strength up, he will be a problem. He's got the form and technical aspects of sprinting but could get some more explosiveness for the start.

[polychronio]

@jigglyfidda125 not finest athlete...but finest sprinter for sure...

[yhhhhh2]

obikwelu!!!!!!!!

[mnnh1]

lemaitre is the 'great white hope' going into London 2012! But he needs to work on his start. He may have abetter chance of a medal in the 200m in London!

[AuxaneD]

@mnnh1 200m and 100m are much better distance for him, he is a finisher, 60m is a very frustrating distance for him as he needs to get better at his start. He's young and very focused, i expect him to get better though. :)

[sicknick091]

@mnnh1 i agree hes got a chance at bronze in 200m

[nikumuMINA]

@mnnh1 white hope in 100m

all other sport are dominated by whyte , so dont generalize connard

[mosdefali]

@mnnh1 ...where do you get these facts from?

[adilchb]

@mnnh1 You are Crazyy With Bolt+Tyson and Asafa There Is No Hobe For a Medal Okeeeey ??

[qwerasolk]

@mnnh1 that was quite racist

[mnnh1]

@qwerasolk Why is it racist? I am a big fan of Lemaitre! He is still very young and has lots of time to improve and get better. He will be still very inexperienced at London 2012.

[turnbacktime]

@mnnh1 do we really have to talk about this great white hope business? leave race out of this.

[DomoArigatoMrD]

I still can't believe this kid is only 20 years old

[breakboy11]

@DomoArigatoMrD at the same age, bolt was making world records. anyway, i hope lemaitre will be the first white modern athletics world champion in 100 and 200.

[masterhouuse]

@DomoArigatoMrD blake is better..the new world record young man

[ShinTec9]

@DomoArigatoMrD I THINK TIS IS THE FASTEST WHITE GUY IVE EVER SEEN

[jigglyfidda125]

Christophe lemaitre should do commercials for any fast products
