Is the sound off for everyone?

[phastman1994]

@carsten011640 yea its way off sync, sorry bout that

[xcrunner000]

The question is... Will Kirani James beat this record?

[phastman1994]

@xcrunner000 I believe Kirani's final year as a junior was last year, he'll definitely beat 43.87 but just not as a junior

I've always wanted to see this race, thanks for posting. Just unreal for a junior!!

[phastman1994]

@ThomasRiekki No prob, ya I cant see this Junior record being touched for a looong time!

@alezxen I don't know.. You get injured for a reason and if he didn't eventually get injured, he wouldn't had ran as fast. Uwe Hohn is another example of a 22 year-old breaking the world record in the Javelin with over 5 meters - 104.80 - but he got injured too. I got plenty of examples of other athletes facing the same end to their careers. It's actually more of a rule.
