[Continuing on from my previous 'posts' about Jeremy Wariner]: semi-final and the final. It is difficult to conceive of any othr plausible reason for his very sudden -  almost overnight - loss of form in those Olympic Games in China.

[Continuing on from my previous 'posts' about Jeremy Wariner]: his time in that race was a relatively lack-lustre 44.74. (In the semi-final, he had returned a time almost a full second faster than that ... and, what is more, he obviously eased up when he was still quite a distance away from the finishing line.)

I do not know why Jeremy was unable to replicate that superb performance in the Olympic final (in 2008). I can only assume that he was taken ill at some point between the

@TheEctomorph u r so dumb, almost like a senile robot

@sciencestudent342 You, on the other hand, sir, are one of the most eloquent, knowledgeable and perceptive track and field pundits that I have ever come across. What is more, your attitude towards anabolic steroids - and other banned performance-enhancing drugs - is EXACTLY what the sport needs right now.

Seriously, though, you have shown yourself to be a very unsavoury and boorish human being. To be honest, I would not be particularly surprised if you happened to be a chav, too.

It was noticeable that Mr Wariner finished that race very strongly (I would estimate that his time for the final 100 metres was under 11.50 secs).

Four years later, however - in the 2008 Olympic final - he tied up badly in the last 25% of the race, and was consequently beaten by LaShawn Merritt. Even with the benefit of hindsight, it is still difficult to understand why Jeremy was unable to maintain his lead over Merritt in the latter stages of that race in Beijing, some three years ago

@TheEctomorph [Continued on from my previous 'post' about Jeremy Wariner]: After his mightily impressive perfomance in the semi-final of the Olympic 400 metres [in '08], many knowledgeable athletics pundits and statisticians were predicting that he would pose a serious threat to Michael Johnson's world record in the final. It really did come as a major surprise - and shock - when he was beaten into second place by Mr Merritt. What was perhaps even more surprising was the fact that

@TheEctomorph wow, u sound so bland, wat r u , 75?

[Sprinter900]

hes white!?!?

[TheEctomorph]

@Sprinter900 Yes ...... and there's no need to sound so surprised about that! Mr Wariner was certainly not the first 1C1 ("white") man to win the Olympic 400 metres title, and he won't be the last, either - unless I am very much mistaken.
