He proved hurdles are a joke to anyone that doesn’t know a thing about track and field and its athletes. You’ve exposed yourself as one of these people.
Nah. 25 year old Warholm from Tokyo 2021 runs the 100m in 10.25 - 10.35 easily.
He is evidently not in his prime anymore(at least this season, as his seasons best is 46.7, his slowest since 2020 if we ignore the 2022 season where he was injured). Could probably still run 10.3-high if he wants earlier in the season when he focuses on speed and not speed endurance/strength, but he's not going sub 10.3 anymore I think. He's almost 29 now.
But regardless, the hurdles are not a joke lol. Rai Benjamin is a 10 flat, sub 20 guy and could probably run if he focused on the 400m.
right.
they should have made the race best 2 out of three.
do it again and add in the long jump.
will they jump 24 or 26 ft?
think again
warholm junped 24 ft 10 years ago, pole vaulted, highjunped, 1500 etc.
he and mondo have to have a decatholn duel.
where you are allowed one mark in every event so it is not spoiled
both 400h and pole vault training translates to the 100m, because both are explosive events. Prime example is Carl Lewis with the 100m and long jump double.
Now you have two athletes that specialize in other explosive events, and meet up at the 100m.
Mondo is almost 25 years old, and set a new PR(and WR) in his event 1 week before the 100m. On the other hand, you have Warholm at almost 29 years old, just ran 46.9 and is most likely 4 years past his peak year(2021).
In other words, the event compared Mondo in what is likely his prime years, vs a Warholm who is 4 years past his peak, and is running his main event 1 second slower than what he did in his prime.
I'd say 2021 Warholm is at least .1 seconds faster in the 100m than 2024 Warholm.
You are welcome to further "exposing" hurdlers by running sub 47 of for that matter sub one minute. Just post a video here when you have done that.
When 45.94 for the 400h would be a joke, lots of sub 10 100m sprinters or sub 13.20 hurdlers would blast similar times for 400h. I guess Warholm at his sub 46 peak was for sure at least 10.20, 20.00ish, 44.00ish.
