What's going on over there?
The wee lass Muir and all these great performances from the Brits.
Shouldn't some LRCr be suspicious?

And if you want an idea of Max's impressive speed, this is him running leg 3 of the 4x400m at the UK School Games this weekend. Pick it up on the timeline at 3:10:40
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQqTBj2lYLc&feature=shareImpressive speed indeed. Commentator had him at 47.9. That kind of speed would put him in top 2 or 3 ranked u18 400m runners in the UK. Just turned 16 at the start of this summer and he's ran 1:47 for 800m (largely solo ran it), 3:47 for 1500m (I think in his only 1500 race this season) and now a 47.9 400m relay leg.
You'd think he might be in contention for the GB team for the World Championships next summer, although the 800m is getting more and more stacked in this country. I guess him and his father will probably have the world u18 championships as their goal next year. But at this rate, he could actually be a medal prospect for Tokyo at only 18.
There is no world u18 anymore. Someone who pretends to be as knowledgeable as you should surely know that. Also there are a few Seniors (Langford et Al) who are still a bit further along than Burgin to be fancying for a Senior team. Really other than being a racist you do come up with some very stupid comments.

Hi Nips. Nothing I said was stupid. He's virtually solo ran a 1:47 this year, and then again ran a solo 1:49 in atrocious conditions a week ago. Now he's ran a 47.9 relay leg. To put that into perspective, Steve Cram's career best 400m time was 49 seconds. Yes, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves or put any weight of expectations on his shoulders, that's why I said it would be unlikely if he and his coach/dad decided to even try for the World Championship trials next year. But it's quite plausible that he could be running 1:45 (or even sub 1:45 in an ideal race) next summer. That would certainly put him in contention at the trials. Yeah, there's a few still ranked ahead of him and probably will be next year, but 800m runners tend to get injured a lot - ask Kyle Langford.
And as for Tokyo, it is becoming clear he is appearing to have Jakob level talent.
There was a world u18 last year. Don't know why you think I should know it's not going to be held again. Given that, I would say if Max and his Dad go for it, he will get in the GB team next year. Just as I predicted Kyle would be a medalist at the Commonwealths and Jakob would be one of the best in the world THIS year, and you lot were telling me I know nothing about running.
And give over your obsession with me man, you really are getting creepy.
