When do you ever see a sprinting race where the three top guys are white?

[thISxTHplacE]

hahaha. at 5:24 nick says "oh shit" when trying to get back over the fence.

[wazzumz]

@thISxTHplacE Climbing a fence is much harder than winning an 800 meter Olympics qualifier

I met Christian smith 2 years ago. He's a friend of my friend's brother, and he told us all about this. Crazy stuff!!!

johnson looks too big to be an 800 meter runner

[papano12]

@Zarniwoop9 Its all muscle. Plus he did pretty good.

[WarEagle140]

@papano12 even if it is all muscle, its still tough to be that big and be world class material. yeah he did good but he is too big to be a mid distance runner.. too much weight to carry around seeing muscle weighs more than fat.

oh shi** at 5:24 lol

Even 3 years later this is one of my favorite races of all time.

[WarEagle140]

@miler726yahoocom tell me about it haha.. I can say exactly what the announcers say throughout the entire video because I've seen it so many times.. I am so pumped for next year's olympic trials. My parents got tickets for it!! I went to the US championships in 2010 which was awesome, and this should be even better with how much is on the line.

[VideoNeverEnding]

Best Race EVER!
