Kirani James World youth 2009 - 400m

[FrozenFooze]

He needs to change his attitude lol.

[NoahFolefac1]

He's so ungrateful

[JoshMcRay]

Does anyone know what Kirani James was mad about at the end? He seemed really pissed off at the end despite setting a new meet record.

[boomboombam6]

@JoshMcRay I assume he was angry because he did not break the World Youth record, only the Championship record.

[TheEctomorph]

[Continuing on from my previous 'post' about Kirani James]:  two exceptional athletes will take the Gold medal in that prestigious race.

[TheEctomorph]

As we all now know, this gifted Grenadian athlete went on to win the 400 metres title at the SENIOR World Championships - which took place in Daegu, in August 2011. Moreover, just one week after his nineteenth birthday, he set a personal best time of 44.36 ...... very impressive indeed.

I predict that Mr James and Mr Wariner will finish in first and second positions respectively (in the 400 metres) at the Olympic Games in London next year. However, I have no idea which one of these

[TheEctomorph]

In 2012, Mr James will become the first non-American quarter miler to break the elusive 44 second barrier.

[monomo1997]

We see Kirani James 2009 in Brixen, he wins 2 Gold medals. And we have sayd, this man is a champion. Now Kirani James is world champion!

[RebeccaGerMir]

Kirani James Awesome

And now.... World Champion 2011

Congratulation to this awesome benefit from Germany

Grenada can be very proud of this athlet

[gotohellpunk]

NOW a world champion...amazing

[KIKU7228]

Wow....

He is veryvery angry.

But ,he is very great!

[abcasd1]

he was angry

[justinisfly11]

No it's 15 and 16

[phastman1994]

@justinisfly11 No, youth is 16/17

[joccin03]

@phastman1994 15-17 I was just there

[joccin03]

@phastman1994 actually technically you were right because the ones that were 15 were turning 16, sorry

[TheMrBeastyMode]

the last 100m was pure Power .. !

[TheBlackKatana]

@MrLfitz1 stfu >_>

[wonka479]

how old are they?

[phastman1994]

@wonka479 Youth, so ages 16/17 at the time

[407greg]

Grenada's Best!! Kirani James & Gregory Antwone Alexander

[IHawk3ye]

@MrLfitz1 Thats completely wrong. You're upset that people are striving to be the best? You're upset because other people are satisfied with being beat? Hmm.

[planbsk8r130]

im jamaican n not only jamaica but im glad to see other carribean countries are coming up in the track world

[ROXIE268]

Braapppppppp kirani...GRENADA to the WORLDDDDDDDDDDD !!!

PROUD TO BE A GRENADIAN

[KevinLynch94]

Arrogant prick

[MrKarlozz]

He runs a freaking fast 400 m, has a PB and then he gets pissed because he did not break the WYB. LOOOOOOL

[giraujc]

@MrKarlozz I could understand why he would be pissed for missing the World Youth Record by only by .10 seconds. I would be upset myself. But hey at least he won.

[geto235]

wow that guy is a total douche, he gets all pissed cuz he missed the record by a little bit and he just brushed off all the other guys trying to shake hands or something.

[kopk888]

@geto235 just because his goals are higher than u can think of, and what does being a douche have to do with running an amazing 45.24?:)

[KennithNoisewater]

kirani is a brat

[weemancoops]

frazer wicks it is pronounced not wike

[Darrion525]

I'm 19 years old, 100m in 9.96, 200m in 20.29, and everyone cant challenge me BITCH!!!

[MrKarlozz]

@Darrion525 lol

[lfholt7]

I think he won the genetics lotto.

[Snauzer67]

01.19 lol his hair

[blaisewashere]

lololol i laughed when he won by like 10m but immediately gets all pissed even if he missed the record

[GeneticallyGifted]

whats up with all the hate.!!??? Thts just a small fraction of the talents from this country. When I was 17 I did 10.90 in 100M...:)

[joccin03]

@GeneticallyGifted not trying to act like im "better" but im 16 and my pb is 10.8 and im from canada, we've got a lot of talent here also

[krazzylyla]

@GeneticallyGifted i'm 16 years old and run a 100m in 10.42

can't challenge me,haha

[bossanimal1]

@krazzylyla lol lolo lol

[telkwa]

Seriously, what a whiny baby he was at this age.

[pa21thebeast]

he's the fourth best young talent i know of

[Pr0jectJesus]

Hahahaha nice video did you know that Kirani is my son? I'm 11 years old and my PB in 400m is 45.67 I hope one day to make the olympics. Also, I've jumped a personal best of 17.27m in triple jump!

[dreblack645]

@Pr0jectJesus yea maby

[TechnoExploder]

[kiranirox123]

[superdave31]

hes fucking shit

[FudgeandCheese]

Big up Ki!

Greenz ppl showing you mad support!

[OhiOa1]

Greenz to da world!! big up Kirani. Only 17 and has 3 world records and by-the-way he totally ERASED Usains' 6 yr record in the CARITA games: Kirani ran 45:45 and bolt was 46:35

[jonesy77777]

dude just ran 45.7 indoors for University of Alabama. We're going to see him against the NCAA's best!!! THis guys is more of a freak than obea moore, and his physique is more suited for further improvement with age. He's going to be a player in 2012, especially with teh competition of NCAA's.

[oochibi]

日本人がいる！こんな大会にもでてるんだ。。

[trackextrordinaire]

i don't understand why he is upset, he may not have gotten the record but he was close. and he got first by quite a bit. he shouldn't be so negative.

[htownhomie06]

nice run, gr8 athlete but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

45.2 as a teen is awesome but how many others have run so fast, so early and disappeared?

marlon ramsey in texas, obea moore in california both ran 45 low in high school and were never heard from after 1996.

i'm sure kirani james will keep winning in juniors, but there's no real way 2 predict success on the next level.

just sayin...

[mrcatohead]

@htownhomie06 true, i hate everyone getting so excited about these junior super stars who go no where

[Kar16d]

@htownhomie06 and he just won NCAA's. Wanna re-think that statement?

[htownhomie06]

@Kar16d lol, no i'll stand by it. congrats 2 him. but how many ncaa champs don't end up with olympic gold or WRs? maybe he does, maybe not. just sayin...

[Kar16d]

@htownhomie06 Lol I respect that then. You got a point. Only a few have

[TYPHOONATHLETE96]

It will be very intresting to see what he will do when he's competing against 400m runners like Lashawn merrit and wariner when he gets older. I bet he will be a tough one for them
