I would agree with the posters that have said 400h is weaker than the 400m flat.

It is well known that generally the 400h is an event which multi-eventers who aren't so fast over the 400m flat would turn to, or 400m flat runners who doing have the speed to be competitive over 400m.

It is rarely a first choice event for an athlete.

I also agree that a 43.5 400m guy could in theory run under 46 in the hurdles.

What I don't agree with are statements claiming the current crop of 400h are weak athletes. Warholm has run under 45 and could probably run 44.2. Rai Benjamin has broken 20s and run 44.3 with potential to run 44.0

Both these athletes will probably bring the 400 hurdles into the 46.2 range which is very strong.

You would agree with the trolls but only because it deeply hurts you when a white athlete is the best in the world. You're a known anti white racist. Just a couple of years ago you were ogling and masturbating all around Benjamin & Samba but now that Warholm has destroyed them the 400H is not really an important event and anyone can run it fast. Am I right?

If you flip this now and have Benjamin or Samba in Warholms position, all of a sudden they are unbelievable athletes, like none have ever seen, and the 400H is an exhibition of incredible athletic talent. Am I right? This is exactly what was being posted just a couple of years ago.

I think we all know that if a top 400 runner could, he would most certainly go after the 400H medals in world events. There's certainly enough time. But you know what? They can't!

It's funny how you fawned recently over Holloway (who's proved to be a disappointment) and his amazing 110 hurdling capabilities, unreal athleticism, but you failed to mention once how any 100 meter runner going under 11 seconds could easily beat that time and that Holloway only went to 110H because he doesn't have any actual talent. Am I right?

Pretty sure most know that 400H ability requires 400m athleticism and talent plus an additional specific athleticism. Not only that, it seems to require height to be the best. 6'2" is a minimum. All the top 400 hurdlers (Young, Moses, Warholm, Benjamin) were at least this height. Van Niekerk/Norman are too short. Most 100m guys? Midgets. They need a ladder to go over the hurdles.
