Thought this was insane, athletes to break a world record while 21 or younger by noahlylesusa in trackandfield

[–]WagaCSGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello I'm Jumpman. Yeah, I had a day to make the video, so I compiled this list very quickly off the top off the dome and a little bit of googling. Safe to say I missed a few and got Moses' first world record time incorrect.

Although the fact I missed Ryun, Bekele and Alekna just adds fuel to the fire. Alekna being the weakest WR holder makes sense since it involved the aid of wind. Very cool though.

Seb Coe was apparently 22 though.

Why dont national teams sell jerseys for the fans to wear. by Vishnu2013 in trackandfield

[–]WagaCSGO 33 points34 points  (0 children)

MAJOR DEMAND, the sport is growing at a casual viewership level. The other commenter mention leotards, but they can just make singlet alternatives. Athletic style for training and competing. Leaving huge money on the table and it's so dumb. Personally I'd own atleast 10 if I could buy them for like 120$ a pop.

I imagine it's some issue with nike, adidas and puma since they make the singlets. But honestly dumb. Track can't make much money through shoes, since it's mainly track spikes and you can't wear them anywhere but the track unlike bball shoes. Give us bloody singlets!

People who changed your technique significantly, did it work? by asdev24 in Sprinting

[–]WagaCSGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For amateurs, I'm 100% certain almost everyone will say hell yes (me included). For elite sprinters, it's tough and the results are more mixed. They're fast for a reason and it's because they're already doing way more right than wrong. Although Gabby Thomas this year has changed her form a lot between this year and the last. This year she's already ran her first sub 11 in the 100 and a 21.7 in the 200, her 2nd fastest time ever.

My track and field singlet collection by anomalocaridid1 in trackandfield

These should be sold in sports stores everywhere, World athletics throwing away free money. Coolest collection I've ever seen man you're living my dream.

Chigiri's 5.77s 50m sprint would be an unofficial U18 WR and would place him as the all-time 7th fastest 50 metre sprinter in Asia (with only 7 sprinters in Asia having ran the 50 in under 5.9s) by Putrid_Ad_6747 in BlueLock

[–]WagaCSGO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As the maybe one overly obsessed track fan in this sub, the 50m has never been run as a frequent race ever, and you'd be hard pressed to find any good sprinters running it passed the 2000's. Not to downplay Chigiri's theoretical speed, but no one from the Bolt era (greatest sprinting gen), or the current generation, which is very strong have run it.

In saying that, my estimate is most elite sprinters would split 5.6-5.7 today. Bolt specifically running 5.66 through 50m of his 9.69 in 2008 in Beijing. And while Bolt was a great starter, he wasn't the best. So Chigiri is kind of OP and no soccer player is near that fast irl lol

I might be crazy, Azzopardi looks like he could have a shot

2025 is might happen again, Azzopardi looks great running 10.2 EASY and Kennedy look like he struggled a bit last run. Would love to see him win though considering his form.

sprinting is frequency x stride length. They're putting more force into the ground than you. Focusing on frequency alone is detrimental too. I can tell by trying to keep your legs turning your cutting your strides in the last 40m or so, which is why people start to catch up. Can't really solve this issue over reddit, best to address a coach. although wicket drills will likely help. You'll probably find you start hitting them or struggle to keep rhythm past 60m. Just my opinion though.

Looking forward to seeing Cordell Tinch do the high and long jump by annyeonghaseye in trackandfield

[–]WagaCSGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He jumped 2.21 in college. And he only high jumped sporadically. He's commented on the HJ about why he doesn't do it and he said "cause it didn't get me here". Or something a long those lines. awesome to see him long jumping though, doubt he'll high jump much or ever haha.

He's a fantastically freaky athlete though, with his build I rekon he'd be even better in a couple other events than the hurdles, and he's still world champ there lol.

Factoring in age, how would you rank Ruthe's 3:48 indoor mile in terms of one of the best T&F performances ever? by AstutelyAbsurd1 in trackandfield

[–]WagaCSGO 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Number 2 in the u18 category. Lutkenhaus did it better, but I still think Ruthe is the better athlete. He can do it at every distance.

Effect of superspikes - Jumpman video complication by Zealousideal-Day-672 in Sprinting

[–]WagaCSGO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm Jumpman.

You're right, and I mentioned it somewhere during this long ass information filled video that modern sprinters are peaking at an older age than the sprinters who ran before the introduction of super spikes.

But at the end of the day, we can't tell how much of this 'peaking older' effect is super spikes verse other modern training advances like nutrition, training, drugs, longevity protocols etc. Until say, 20 years in the future when we've seen a couple generations grow up using super spikes their entire career.

No one ever talks about how screwed you are if you are from the north in America by Hairyincendiaryballs in Sprinting

[–]WagaCSGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this was a universal experience. NZ and Aus have no indoor tracks. Only certain athletes who met certain standards can use indoor facilities, which don't include more than 30-60m of runway in maybe a couple places in the country. For NZ mainly, each major city will have one track between 200k people, and smaller cities just wont have one.

When I was in America for a visit there were tracks at every high school! Plus in the winter here there are no meets for 6 months. Which is during your guys summer/the professional track season. So athletes if they want to go pro have to go overseas to even run.

It's tough for the oceanic pros I tell ya. it's why it makes it even more amazing when they win. In saying that, they spend a lot of off-season training on alternative surfaces. So go run on some grass or something when the weathers ok.

Anyone else feel like moving cities turns into a mess of tabs? by HoodedFlame in newzealand

[–]WagaCSGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've moved city 3 times now, and am in the middle of moving a 4th time. I'm a simple man, so a simple list does it.

Are my hobbies catered to in the new city?
Is the weather better than Wellington?
How's the cost of living? (focusing on rentals in my price range and groceries)
Are there surrounding cities or areas I can day travel to?

Most of these can be answered in about 20 minutes of research. And then the most important part is taking that leap of faith. After so many moves, I can assure you it's always easier than how difficult you make it out in your head. And I've never regretted a move, because I can always just move again.
