Karsten is peaked, Yawndo has cornered a niche sport and trying to act like each new centimeter is a big deal. He could raise the WR by probably 50cm in one shot if he wanted.
Neither one is great at 100m. Nobody cares which of them would be better at it.
Don't do it, Mondo. Wayde van Niekerk comes to mind. Just having fun and messes up his knee. Has not been the same since.
Mondo could be taking an unneeded gamble, just to have some fun.
WVN played in a tag rugby match. Mondo's running in a straight line while not holding a pole. He's also expressed interest in running relays for Sweden.
WR Warholm takes this easy but he’s not the same dude. His strength should get him the win in the end but I dunno. One big advantage he has is coming out of blocks.
People are giving Mondo too much credit. I say he barely breaks 11. Maybe a 10.8 at best.
Dude do you know anything about sprinting? You don't have to be that good to break 11, and Mondo is very, very good. Did you notice how much quicker he is on the runway than the others?
Mondo might just be the best athlete in all of track and field. Probably could win the decathlon if he trained for it for a year
Mondo isn't accelerating as hard as he can when he vaults, he's also very briefly running at his maximal (runway) speed. I don't know all about his training but I can assure you Karsten is accelerating way more intensely and way more often, as well as spending more time at his maximal velocity PLUS the addition of speed endurance work. Even if its close early, I expect Karsten to pull away huge over the second half.
