Black page for Letsile Tebogo!!! 9.91 World Junior Record jogging last 20 meters!!!

This was akin to Dolt in Beijing, but he ran 9.69, not 9.91. A HUGE difference.

Cruising is when your legs just seem to turn under you, of their own accord—Dolt beating his chest, Tebogo signaling to his right, etc. The legs just keep going. It’s really not that much slower, because you are fully relaxed. We have also seen Flake do it, back in the day, in rounds—just keeping the elbows at the side, easy arms, legs turning easy.

So what this portends, who knows. Such a performance level needs to be reproduced before getting all excited. 9.7 now, idk. 9.8, yes.

Great that he might emerge a force👍

Lets see.. if he ran 9.91 and was jogging the last 20 meters, he could be running in the 8.5 or 8.6 range .

What’s the deal with the lame names? Is it your way of feeling witty?

Who is going to coach him? is Curtis Taylor still there?

In a 150mts showdown between those guys (I could add Puripol Boonson too). Who Wins?

why was he show boating the last 20-30 meters, he could have been in the 9.8s?

I'd rather actually put up the fastest time possible. I'd rather run a 9.81 PR than run 9.91 PR.

So smooth!

I'll never understand why sprinters can't wait 2 more seconds to show off. I'd rather set a record that was harder for someone to break. You can point your finger at someone just the same after the race is over.

What these guys run next is what I need to see,

Who ever heard of .....

Francis Baldwin. Joe Sincere, Jack Phillips, Doug Hawken, Oliver Ford, Craig Wallace?

He's like Tyreek Hill - so much faster than everyone else that he can slow down / showboat and still win

Isnt Hill another one of the many players who beat on women?

Knighton was supposed to be the second coming a few weeks ago and he got a distant third at Worlds, so dont get too excited about your heroes yet.

Am I the only one that thinks he may have false started? Seemed like he never got into the set position.

Bolt definitely jogged a 9.8 - the video has been posted here on numerous threads. Pretty sure it was the World Championships where he ran 9.5 in the Final. Someone find the video - it's amazing how effortless it was.

Well, this guy didn't even make the Final, whereas the other guy lost narrowly to an Olympic Silver medalist and then the World Champion setting an American record in the 200.

Tebogo has a lot of promise certainly but Worlds bronze is beyond running fast times unless we get to sub-9.80 or sub-19.60 territory (where Knighton has been btw).

Also to the false start person, no he didn't. I also don't he really jogged or shut it down.

He was going pretty hard he was just looking to the side and wagging his finger. Legs were full go. I assume you lose something in not using both arms to propel yourself, but it's not the same as shutting it down or jogging.

What a child you are.
