Britton Wilson getting attention only on Twitter? 400H world lead, 400 in 50.05, relay 48.60

Mclaughlin is not hot. Is that a joke or something?

Ah yes, the man who is too weak to post under the same username on TFN and here. I really shouldn't give you the time of day, but here goes...

That's the whole point, Femke Bol would not be able to do this, nor would McLaughlin, or Muhammad, or any of the best 400m/400mhurdlers through history. In fact, a Perec would probably not be able to run a 50.0; a 53 and a 48 over the FLAT 400m in 2 hours, nor would a Felix, or an SMU. That. Is. The. Whole. Point. What she has done is pretty ridiculous. And if you don't think it is, you know nothing about athletics son.

Two remarks.

I have a noticed that there is a lot of times when people were able to post incredible sprint performance in a short time span.

I am not so surprised.

However, I do think that what Offili did is remarkable. Really.

On a final note, I think that the main point should be this: the US has a phenomenal, unique in history (?) amount of very young and sometimes world class talents from 200m all the way to 1500m, male and female.

Rather than the rest, you should consider yourself lucky to be in this period of time were some of the all time greats are young.

Can you name even ONE time that anyone, man or women, has run THREE world class times in the 400 in around two hours?

No, you can't.

So either Britton Wilson is superwoman or something is fishy.

“Offer my opinions respectfully “

is that what you think you did?

By immediately accusing people of being racist because they didn't comment enough about Britton Wilson to your liking?

And then talking about “ reading comprehension”?

Yes, you're so respectful while others are just racist and dumb.

added to Bowerman watch list and if she repeats that triple at Nationals incl 2 wins she might just win it.

I’m not a 400 hurdles historian by any means but I’m certain that other great 400 hurdlers could have put up a comparable performance in the course of 2 hours & 40 minutes—Femke Bol, Delilah Muhammad, Sydney McLaughlin, Rai Benjamin and Karsten Warholm among them.

Warholm ran 46.87 (much stronger than Wilson’s 53.75) and came back with a 45.05 flat 400 (perhaps slightly weaker than 50.05, but hard to compare) at the 2020 Stockholm DL meet. I don’t have a problem imagining him coming back an hour later to anchor a super competitive 4x4 in 44.low, but maybe we differ there.

Keep in mind 400 hurdlers aren’t the type of sprinter that is barely hanging on to make the finish line in a flat 400 and then laying on the infield dead, taking forever to recover. They are well trained to cover the distance while hurdling and would make some of the best 500m, even 600m runners in the world. It’s not hard to believe that a super talented and well conditioned 21 year old 400 hurdler could race a good 400h and 2 flat 400s in the course of 2h40, if they’re having a good day, which clearly she was.

Someone more important than us was watching. Wilson named to Bowerman watch list.

I disagree, it IS hard to believe a super talented and well conditioned 21 yr old could do that in such a short space of time.

Comparing Warholm, who ran 2 races, to her 3, when he is at his absolute physical peak and she isn't, is just not the same at all. I have seen many times an athlete run a 400m and 200m within a fairly short time period (and yes, Femke Bol has done this with some success) but I do not know of any 400m/400mhurdler who has run 3 x 400m distances in those quality times in that short space at all, ever, not on the professional circuit.

Anyone that saw Perec, probably one of the, if not the, greatest 400m runners of all time, win her 96 Olympic title in 48.2 could see she couldn't even get up off the floor for an age. She wasn't running that after a 50.0 and a 53. as well.

All these crazy trebles that NCAA athletes do are never reproduced when they get to the professional circuit or at a Championships outside the NCAA. Have they destroyed their careers by over doing it at the NCAA; did they peak too young, or is it something else?

For me, it's a combination of all 3, and I don't like it.

It’s almost like an NCAA conference meet and the professional circuit are different in nature 🤔

No triple she scratched the 400. I assume she will go for the 400 hurdle record. What surprised me is that anna hall is contesting the 400 hurdles at NCAA regionals. i just dont see her doing that at nationals so why run and take a spot from another potential athlete.

Britton Wilson has the speed to break Sydney McLaughlin's 400h college record of 52.75 but not the hurdling technique. Not yet anyway.

As far as Anna Hall running the 400h, she might not be doing the heptahlon at nationals, which would free her up to do the 400h instead.

From a points perspective she is sure to win the Hep but the 400mh is a different story. anyone can show up and Britton looks unbeatable at the moment. She is till listed for the hep so we will see come nationals What she does.
