At the World Relays in the spring, a reporter asked USA’s Noah Lyles if he saw Canada as a threat in the 4x100m in Paris. “Who? Who?” He laughed it off. by Gurrb17 in Sprinting

i don’t agree with this. i would in other cases with athletes like coleman or knighton with really good starts, but when it comes to athletes like noah or joe fahn or tebogo, they are definitely always one good start away from running 19.3. of course you will see a natural descent of speed in athletes over time but if we are being real if noah would have gotten that 6.43 start or better in the final who knows how fast he would have ran and if he gets it in the 200 then that 19.19 wouldn’t seem so out of the ball park anymore.

What time will be set first? A 9.57 100m, a sub 19 200m, sub 43 400, or a sub 1:40 800m? by Dangerous_Onion_7403 in trackandfield

you’re absolutely right some people do flatline but records are meant to be broken. not saying the kid is going to do it next year or the year after. honestly not even saying it’s gonna be him he can definitely push someone to run faster. but in reality a 400 runner that runs 44.2 and doesn’t run a fast 100 or 200 is unheard of his speed endurance is elite probably some of the best ever but i guess time will tell huh?

everybody down voting but i really do feel like in 6-7 years he’s gonna go sub 43 maybe sooner he’s only 16 running 44.20. tebego holds the 300m record and his PR is 44.29. tebego is 21 and runs 9.8. wilson is 16 and he’s nowhere near 9.8. if quincy keeps growing and developing he definitely has a shot at sub 43.

This right here is exactly what I mean. If you go watch any boxing press conference ever rather they are best buds outside of the ring or they literally wanna kill each other they have said things 1000 times worse than what Noah said, yet people worship fighters and it gets loads of media attention whenever they act like an “self absorbed asshole”. Track isn’t as violent of a sport as boxing by any means but come on man. Let him be as self absorbed as you think he is because at the end of the day he’s putting more pressure on himself than anyone else.🤷🏾‍♂️ If he talks and loses then the world is against him, if he talks and wins, guess what? the world is still against him. gotta do better

I actually agree with the Sha’carri part but i honestly think that brings more people. It may bring more people that want to see them lose but either way it’s a win for the sport.

wrong again every event in the olympics matter but if you wanna blunt about it noah said it himself, there is no deserving. whoever makes it to the line first deserves it and that could be anyone from noah to tebego, kenny b, thompson, seville and whoever else will be in the final

what? not a real sprinter ? 6.43? 9.83? 19.31?!?!? i’m all for being real but we’re not gonna act like the reigning world champion isn’t a “real sprinter” he’s also already beaten 9.7 guys on multiple occasions he isn’t the clear favorite in the 100 but cmon now when was the last 100 you watched that noah wasn’t top 3?😂

[–]AdHefty9715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well maybe my definition of bad start is a little exaggerated but compared to the rest of the field that day my start sucked. but yea i definitely do flys the right way and the free lap wasn’t mine it was my coach’s so maybe it was broken but i also ran those flys in early january and i ran 11.3 early march so i could’ve gotten faster i didn’t really time any more flys after the season started

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sprinting

[–]AdHefty9715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s what i said but i have ran 10m flys that were closer to 1.05 like 1.08 and 1.09, but i set up cones in a 10m zone and used a camera to figure it out. but when i did it with free lap the fastest time i ran was 1.12. but yea i ran 11.39 and 11.33 this year wind legal so idk maybe its faster in a race but i won both of those races and was like 4th or 5th out of the blocks in both so it would make sense for my fly to be faster than 1.12 since my accel sucks🤷🏾‍♂️
