he's one of the rare talented people, idk anyone who can run the 1,2, and 400 at a world-class level..

[TrackMan400]

Xavier is the man. 100m,200m and 400m stud,wow

Wooah, lionel larry waz in dis race?? wat was he a freshman in this race?

[TwinFraser]

its a shame that the X man xavier carter kept on getting injured. one of the fastest 200m runners ever!

[shanemette]

@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

[rcaddict72]

@Gyamfi4 well im not sure if he runs the 100 at world class level, but certainly 200 and 400m.

@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

@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.

[fightjunge24]

@Visionary0001 relaxing maybe?

@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!

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".

i dont know why they talk. Ato and Carol r so damn annoying.
