he just needs 1 sec to get there. As an untrained guy, 10.9 is more than outstanding. If he trains like Noah and any other pro sprinters, you really think he can't shave 1 sec off
Lyles was messing around too much and had a very bad start.
The fascinating part of this is, that someone who can run 100m in maybe 10.90 is making at least $7 million annualy, which is more than Noah Lyles, who runs 9.79.
Which makes you think about the future of athletics, the viewership and the sponsors.
Didn't he get famous for his gaming stuff and his obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo?
The money he's earned doesn't have anything to do with sprinting.
Every second kid in the world is a gaming streamer and has an obsession with Christiano Ronaldo.
IShowSpeed markets himself as exceptionally fast and racing other influencers / athletes is what makes up a big part of his hype. Most of his followers really do believe that he is the fastest man on the planet.

But rarely some of these kids (for one reason or another) get incredibly famous.
The running stuff has been fairly recent. He made his name and money from gaming and then the football stuff.

Speed does these things but this is not how he got famous or why he's famous nor is it why he's making a lot of money.
It would be like if Jeff bezos got into making running vlogs on youtube and then someone went online and said omg how is he a billionaire from running blogs on youtube?!
Yesterday IShowSpeed raced 80m twice against another streamer/influencer Daniel Labelle. I downloaded the Youtube video, loaded into professional audio/video editing software and made cuts right at the beginning of the starting whistle and right before the tape breaks.
1st race took 8.717s
2nd race took 8.961s
If IShowSpeed kept the same speed for another 20m he would clock a 10.90s and a 11.20s 100m respectively.
So much for talking about beating Noah Lyles or Tyreek Hill...
Maybe you don't sprint.
Nobody runs their 0-80m average velocity as the same speed over the final 20m.

How do we live in a world, why have we created a world where this guy is famous and a topic of conversation? Who cares about his social media gimmicks?! I thought I’d try Gatlin’s pod and had to give up based on principle, why are they talking about an “influencer “? I do not feel at home in this world anymore.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Nobody runs the last 20 meters with a running start as slow as the average of the race including the standing start and the acceleration phase.
8,717s with a standing start is ~10,62s. Without starting blocks and without training that is insanely good. Even Lyles said on a podcast he has the genetics to make the olympics. The guy is insanely talented, nobody can doubt the fact that he has the genetics to be a professional runner had he dedicated himself to it early on.
And no he hasn’t made his money and fame off of his races, that’s just a fun gimmick that started recently. He got famous because of his crazy personality, his fortnite streams, and the fact that he’s crazy about Ronaldo. And no he isn’t on roids the guy is skinny and doesn’t know or care about the sport, he didn’t even know you had to wear spikes when he raced Lyles.
And nobody believes he’s the fastest on earth, people just appreciate the natural athlete he is. That’s just like his backflip world record thing or the jumping over Lamborghinis thing, nobody ever thought he was a world class gymnast or high jump guy, he’s just talented and funny.

Lyles said that to be nice because he did a collab video with him and raced. Ishowspeed is fast. Like mid tier d1 fast. Maybe with some training and real dedication he could run low 10s (personally I doubt that), but he doesn't have Olympic potential or Olympic genes. He's an internet personality. If you enjoy his videos great. He's more talented than 99% of people. But there's plenty at the d1 level, not just in track, that are more talented

Oops, we have a wannabe here. Tell me, coach, what happens to beginner sprinters after they reach their maximum speed with 40-50m in? Even elite sprinters start to decelerate after 60m. So "keeping the average speed" is a very fair and generous assumption.
Of course Lyles would say that Speed is very talented. It would not be a good look to tell the world that he himself had a very bad start and had to work hard to beat a nobody.
Read the comments under Speed videos. His fans truly believe he will beat everybody and will make it to the olympics. I think we all can agree that Speed will NEVER make it to the olympics and it is an insult to every elite sprinter who trained since they were little kids.
Ishowspeed was interviewed by Shannon Sharpe recently. Kid deserves a lot of credit. Definitely not a fluke I will say that much.
I saw some of that interview but don't recall anything standing out to suggest he was some genius marketer, but I also wasn't paying close attention and am not a fan so didn't care that much. What about the interview makes you say this? Just curious.
Speed's best event is probably the 400m, 800m, or 400m hurdles. I'm giving him 46-47 1:46-1:48 with full training possibly. Can't see him going faster than 10.8-10.9 in the 100m even with training.
For additional context, I watched Ashton Hall beat an 11.4 runner by a small margin, which would put him at 11.2 at best. Speed beat Hall, by also a very small margin. So yeah, I think it's a safe bet Speed's around an 11 second 100m.

Ashton Hall claims to have clocked 11.32 and Daniel Labelle claims 11.34.
Speed has beaten both, so 10.90 seems pretty reasonable.
Everything hand-timed without a wind gauge is fake. Also 10.9 isn't fast???
As a former 10.2 guy and a guy who wants get back into masters running and dip well below 11, the level of attention this guy gets is.....making me want to avoid any and all sharp objects.

Don't offend d1 runners with that comparison lol unless it's a talent comparison

He was a top football recruit known for his pace.
I’m guessing untrained guys find 100m exhausting, and he could either run 60m or train for the endurance to look more realistic with his talent. Did he slow down in the last half of his 80m race? Pick his start, fastest 10-20m, and figure out how much he lost from not knowing blocks. This could be closer to 10.3.
