This announcer mispronounces "Xavier" every time he says it. Hard to believe they even let him announce. Xavier is pronounced "Zavier", not "eggszavier". You don't say the X; it's just a Z. Like Xylophone is just pronounced "Zylophone".
well my coach said its just probably how he feels comfortable. you know how Jeremy adjust his necklace and glasses before he runs its just how he gets in the zone
@fightjunge24 Brotha, thank you for your comment, but I later got the correct answer from Ron Allice (head track coach for USC) who was there. Xavier Carter did NOT run the race with chewing gum in his mouth. Immediately after the race, he chews Gatorade gum, because the tart, lemon taste causes his mouth to produce saliva quickly, so he doesn't have "dry mouth" after breathing heavily from running an all-out 400 race.
This way, he can talk and conduct interviews easier.
@Visionary0001 hmm but in the 400m it had actually been pretty dumb to run with a chewing. but i think in the 100 or 60 i could be usefull because its proven that chewing gum can get u relaxin. i just wrote that answer because ive read about that and that it is used in soem sports
Why do they care that he ran a 100m meter earlier? I mean, he is obviously fast, but it's not like you get tired running 100m meters. It actually just gets me pumped up.
Yeah, I know that, but by telling you the time length in between the events, they are clearly trying to make the point that he is still tired from the 100m.
can you run a 10.09? i'm sure it takes more energy for someone as big as him to run a 10.09. if you put in a 100% effort in the 100 it should make you a bit tired.
It may be that it's somewhat difficult for someone large to run a 100m fast, but this guy clearly has good endurance as he also won the 400m. I bet he wasn't even breathing hard 2 minutes after the 100m.
that's true. he clearly does have good endurance. but it's just the fact that he's so good in both events which is more amazing than the time difference. i mean, if it were easy then he wouldnt be the first one to ever do it.
it doesn't wind you like a 400m, but it is very demanding on your nervous system, and can be very difficult to come back from. Plus remember there were rounds.
@jonesy77777 I forgot about the rounds portion of NCs. That makes this feat even more amazing... especially given he had to run the rounds well as he had the fastest lane in the finals!

Question for Everyone:
HOW and WHY does Xavier Carter run with chewing gum in his mouth while competing in a race as tough as the 400 meters?!?!
How can this possibly help him?
As a coach and former NCAA athlete, I've never heard of such a thing. Experienced coaches, please comment...

@rcaddict72 10.09 isn't world class speed? I am fairly confident there are many world class 100m sprinters who have not ran 10.09
