Tyson Gay 400m - 44.89

now this is impressive.

This proves Bolt could break the WR.

very solid by gay. his work ethic and commitment are top notch! very eddylee-esqe

+1

This equates to a 1:40.6 800 for a white guy. For a black guy, probably 1:50.

?

Tom Jones Memorial Invitational, huh?

"It's Not Unusual"

Black guys have run 1:41 and white guys probably 1:43 remember? That is to say black guys faster than white guys at least so far. You might need to rephrase your statement/facts.

What about Seb Coe (1:41.73) and Steve Cram (1:42.88)?

Black guys could rule the mile and 800m

all they need some is some solid aerobic training.

If you mean from West African descent, you would be wrong, as aerobic training robs speed.

How? Am I missing something? Are Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt the same person?

What about Borzakovskiy (1:42.47), Bucher (1:42.55), Rodal (1:42.58).

No they are not the same person, Bolt is much skinnier, much faster over 100 and 200, and has more of a background in the 400. If Gay can run a 44 high, Bolt can break the 400 record. Idiot.

How does being skinnier have anything to do with it? He is also much bigger in stature, and therefore less efficient over longer distances. Having more background at 400m than Tyson Gay has given him a PR almost half of a second slower than Tyson. They're different runners who have different capabilities. Idiot.

It should be douche-r! You are the idiot because your extrapolation for performance is purely speculation and a false appeal to a non-existent correlation. You may believe that a faster time at 200 guarantees a faster 400. That isn't always true. Don't be bullheaded on this point. They don't guarantee anything.

Rodal and Bucher are both 1:42 guys.

Tyson Gay is like the canary in the coal mine testing out these longer distances. If he can do 44.89 than his superior opposite can do that and more.

If Usain can run faster, why hasn't he? He has run 45.X 3 or 4 times over the past few years.
