Well for one thing they weren't whipped the first hundred years they were here, weren't sold off by their own people, and didn't have to sit in the back of the bus until the 60s. That's gotta affect your self-esteem.

Yeah so it's almost certainly the world U20 record - either age or undoped.
Well, I felt after the semi that what he did in coming back the way he did that he could maybe run 1.43 high/1.44 low today. Never in a million years did I foresee that.
His strength is unreal - especially at his age. He is legitimately about 7-8m back at 600m and was running in lane 2 and not looking exactly that comfortable - but he then rips off a 25.7 final 200m in lane 2 the entire way.
And the crazy thing? If Jewitt was just that fraction stronger/more aware in the semi-final on Friday? That would never have happened today.
Side note Josh Hoey - If that 3x400m workout was very "un-Rinaldi" like - then this was the racing equivalent. Suicidal opening 200/400 especially when leading the field out. Bad miscalculation is an understatement.
I could’ve lived with the 24.1, too fast into the wind but OK control it. A 25.1 second 200 though is indefensible. Jog a 26-27, fight off moves on the backstretch, kick. Exposing yourself after that opener was crazy.
A lot of guys shuffling back and forth wasting energy trying to maintain position, Grant not doing any of that. Nico could learn a thing or two from that.
