Why do you make such claims? You are defining yourself. As a joke, or? No testing in Norway? You don’t know anything about that, do you? The closing of the American mind.

The poster may be an American. Who knows? Keep in mind many Americans, knowledgeable in track, believe Warholm is a great runner. Ignore the people who make false claims.
just because you feel (and are) very inferior to ashton (and so is your boyfriend kevin), doesn't mean you can sexually harass him, gay pervert.
seek psychiatric help immediately!
Warholm should be reckoned as a saviour of the sport, one who shows what can be done by tremendous amount of hard work combined with talent. A symbol of the possibility to become the greatest without cheating. A great athlete with an even greater personality.

I would say Ashton is the inferior athlete. By far. Jumping and power events are the most important for an athlete. Running is very overrated. I wouldn't even consider Ashton in the top 20 of decathletes. Mayer is way above Ashten. Gets far more respect from me.
Multi-events at by far the weakest event in athletics.
Very little competition, it takes so much more resources to get into that it is prohibitive for much of the world and a celebration of being 'ok' at many events rather than elite at one or two.
There are lots of power athletes in the sprints or hurdles or jumps that could turn their hand at decathlon and do decent.
Christian Taylor can run a 45 400 as well as triple jump 18.20m. If he wanted to turn to Decathlon then he'd have no issues with long jump, hurdles, 100m, pole vault, high jump and then most these days are pretty bad at the throws and 1500m anyway.

Looks like grandpa hasn’t been to the movies in a decade.
Absolutely is. Clean guy catching up to the doped WRs. What a man!

Yes, "power athletes" and your man Taylor can "turn their hand" at the decathlon and end up decent. High school level decent. Gimme a break Renato.
Athletes recover from injuries all the time, and we have no idea what he's doing in practice. It's not as though their first rematch will be the Olympic final; the other two will have their opportunity to regain race fitness.
That's a fair prediction, but while these dominant runs against second tier athletes are impressive, I don't consider it to be as encouraging as if he was competing against the best and consistently beating them, a la Samba in 2018. We'll wait and see.

Sounds like Karsten before he became a 400 hurdles specialist, I am sure Karsten would beat him in the 1500, maybe CT would be better in the jumping, except for that a close race in any event if they really were going for it ;-)
You have to have suspicious.
This guy can somehow all out sprint for 400 meters over hurdles.

Can you please explain this?

Needs to hug the curve more he's running more in the middle of it.
Likely because he swings he left foot over the hurdle a little- left to right. Running too fine on the curve - which he really isn't, keeps him from hitting the staggered hurldes in the inner lane.
Never you mind, he knows what he is doing.

IDK if he’s all-out, but you absolutely have to be suspicious. If it sounds too good to be true...
As do all world beating performances. You're just gonna have haters and lots of jealousy.
The thing that makes it slightly less suspicious for me is that I have always believed that Young could have gone faster in that final, with a proper finish—which makes these times excellent, but not other-worldly.
But, yeah...
So if Warholm (and Samba and Benjamin) are so great, we will see the record get not just beaten, but totally destroyed.
Young was no slouch. He was my era, I remember being impressed by his athleticism. IMO Benjamin is the closest. Warholm and Samba, not so much.
lol. By 46.87 most would say Warholm is closest.
