Soooooo tight-looking. I will go out on a limb here and predict that with tightness like this, he will never break 19.80, and would be lucky to get even that. Amazing to me that he has gone as fast as he has, without injury.
paris2024hawk wrote: There was no real decline in sprints 20.66 was indoor, 6.68 is also pretty good for him considering he has poor acceleration.But to things you must consider is that one he had very little races, and two he was trying to peak for the Olympics which is after the college season. .He probably only long jumped one event and it just was not his day. 20.66 indoors? That's great. He has a big stride, and 200m tracks have tight turns. If they could have raced while in college, I'd bet on Matt Boling against Clancy Edwards and against Dwayne Evans. Plus Boling's 400s are amazing, and with Justin Robinson now at ASU, I'm betting they both make the 4 x 400m Olympic relay
Boling stands no chance vs Edwards and Evans at 100m, none!
Clancy Edwards PRs: 10.07 and 20.03
Dwayne Evans PR: 20.08
I guess Whatley was not really correct when he said Boling has/had no chance against the two.
I’m not questioning the reading at the spot it was taken, but rather how it was throughout the 200 course and how it affected the race, given the turn.
Me, from a year ago: “IMO in the 200, he is likely to follow the pattern of so many others—good but not heroic, with one huge time from his youth. For him I’m guessing 19.8x-high. For the 100 I will guess 10.01 basic.”
Hopefully I’m wrong on all counts. Vs last year, his 2022 seems very much better to me.
Look at the American flag in the youtube video posted above as he comes off curve. That is a big flag and its basically straight back. That is an extremely impressive race with that much headwind it definitely wasn't one of those weird 200m wind reading races. The last 20m was rough but that is understandable with that much wind.
Once he leaves Georgia, he will turns his energies to the 200m he has talkd about being his fav event and he is tailor made for it.
And.....most white sprinters are more successful in the 200m
Richard Kilty, Devin Quinn, John Teeters, Jeremy Wariner, Sergey Shubenkov, Marian Woronin, Valeriy Borzov, Allan Wells, and Karsten Warholm (sprinters with many Olympic and WC gold medals in non-100m events) would like you to provide evidence to support that.
Matthew Boling ladies and gentlemen. He only keeps getting faster.Special thanks to Will Sumner and Jean-Lou Pare for the footage.Follow them here:Jean-Lou ...
Lewis is a multi gold medalist. Boling will never make an Olympic team.
I thought you were joking then realised the US really is that deep in the sprints. Erriyon Knighton isn't even in college and has already been to the Olympics and run faster. It would be such a shame if it doesn't happen.
I don’t see the glag as being straight back for sure, I see it at matbe 45 degrees back. That angle seems to be confirmed by looking closely at the guy’s yellow shirt, where the wind pins it to his body, and where it flaps... even looks like it’s coming from the side.
But the flag is high up and subject to less ground interference—the speed always rises as you go up a ways. And there is too much local interference around the yellow shirt guy to conclude anything.
Will be great to see of he can replicate or better this somewhere.👍
