My first thought was also that he looks 25. I'm surprised there haven't been more testosterone antics in T&F lately. He'll either be the heel, or if he keeps winning, the hero. I liked the clever wording of his trash talk. He hasn't gotten personal about it, well done! Look forward to seeing what he can do.

That implies that he wins because he’s mentally tougher than his competitors but he has 47 speed. Considering himself to be a winner wouldn’t do him much good we’re he to take on the NP kids in the mile.
Pre wasn’t nearly as obnoxious about it, but he liked to believe he won because he was tougher than the other runners in the race. That only seemed work for him against Americans and not internationally.

According to LetsRun it's impossible to talk a little trash and not devolve into Jake Paul or Conor McGregor. Got it. If you have a heated rivalry with a few people, you must be mean to everyone and can not make friends with anyone else. Got it. This kid seems like he might be some wesfly-esque idiot, sure. But he's like 18 and doing something more exciting than most of us have done. Professional sports, like it or not, is just Real Housewives for guys. Give him a chance, and maybe if we're lucky, we'll see him in a post-race brawl someday and it'll make it to ESPN8 and we can celebrate the coverage our sport gets!
The kid literally made a video in which he spoke of how much Conor McGregor's self-promotion inspired him to do the same.
