In this instance, he demonstrates he is blind. And lies and obfuscation are his shields. The wind is generally noted in results when it goes over the allowable. Again, you are a jealous moron.
Haha. Before the start, pieces of garbage are literally WHIPPING down the stretch in the wind, which is so strong that the spectators' clothes are also BILLOWING in the wind.
You can HEAR it howling in the video!
Not sure what seeing wind has to do with being jealous!
MASSIVE TAILWIND for the 22.1 "PB".
A howling wind can be a cross-wind, head-wind or tail-wind. How dumb are you? The meet results only indictate wind aided performances in the 100m and LJ. Again: How dumb are you.Actually, the better question is: Why are you so jealous of Lutkenhaus?
Well, this is the first post where you’ve at least conceded “He will be faster in a race and not at the end of a training session…”. Before you said it being at the end of a training session didn't indicate he could run faster when fresh - at all.
It’s just most of us know you don’t run your fastest sprints in March of your freshman year or April of your sophomore when you aren’t even doing your heaviest speed work.
Cooper ran 22.12 with a cross wind, a slight tailwind but mostly ran into the wind the first 100m.
He split 45.3r running 22.2 / 23.1 in April. Three months before running 1:42.2. The questions most of us ask are: had he run a 400m at USATF instead of an 800m, how fast would he have run.
An 800m runner will have an unlimited number of attempts to prove 800m fitness, but a limited number of attempts to prove off distance fitness.
At the end of the day the exercise is futile because you aren’t able to extrapolate. And I get your point of view. To you, the time is the time, 21.8 with a flying start, a 22.12 two years ago, or a 45.3 in April are what they are. Conditions can be perfect, snow, or a hailstorm - conditions don’t matter to you because your brain is incapable of nuance.
Nuance isn't a second faster.
Curious: Have you coached or trained any elite runners? Or are you on here to be a contrarian.
It’s certainly possible CL can be a 21.5 FAT. My roommate was a 1:45 800m runner. He was also a sub 21.5 FAT dude in the one attempt he did it.
We were all fast, he was the fastest over 200m.
Also, FYI..2 of the dudes CL beat in that race ran sub 22 legal later in the season. As would Cooper if he ran more 200ms.
Not in the context of a discussion of records, when the full time is necessary to distinguish it from other performances. He is nearly 3 seconds off the outdoor world mile record, not 2 seconds (and also behind the indoor fastest time). You can't make him faster than he is.
Also the times I referred to above were 21-flat and 46-flat. Not 21.94, or 46.94.
No one is discussing records here, drongo. If Kerr is a 21 sec runner, Hocker is a 3:45 runner.
Hocker IS a 3:45 runner. No need to list someone else to give this information. He is a 3:45 runner because he has run 3:45 but not faster,

Your suggestion CL could run 21.5 might be possible, but that isn't the point. His running 21.8 flying start (and so 22.6 FAT) does not suggest it. You will have to find other evidence that he is capable of 21.5. So far there isn't any.
What your room mate did has nothing to do with what CL has done or could do. So far he has yet to run below 22secs. 21.5 is considerably faster. We have yet to see it or any indication of it. How about a 20.8 flying start?

I will grant that Cooper has not officially proven that he's a sub-22 guy, but I strongly believe it to be the case regardless. Let's say Cooper runs under 45.50 in a 400m this season, would you consider that about as close to proof as one can get without a 200m FAT time?

Two people, 1 born on 22nd March 1953, die other on 23rd March 1953. The first turned 73 today, the second still is 72 (also bis birth was almost 73 years ago).
Hocker has run 3:45, Also the time he ran is much closer to 3:46,00 then to 3;45.00

You might "let's say" anything but it means nothing unless he actually does it. So far he hasn't. If he runs 45.50 for 400 that would easily suggest a 21.5 ability over 200. He has yet to do that - if he can. But to put that in perspective, 21.5 isn't particularly fast for an 800 guy. Time Courtney ran 21 flat in the mid-50s, and George Kerr 21 flat in the early '60s. Juantorena ran 20.7.
Don't attack me for your failure to stay on topic. Your examples are irrelevant to the subject of this thread. If you continue attacking me and or going off topic, you will be reported.
You aren't being attacked, you're being shown that you can't understand an argument. The examples I gave are very relevant to the point I was responding to about Lutkenhaus. Claims that a runner has "gold for the taking" has been shown to be false with examples of other favorites who have failed to win when it was similarly there "for the taking".
Saying "you're a bit slow" is an attack.
No, citing examples of other runners in different events against different competition in a different setting (outdoors) is not relevant in a thread about Cooper. Those other runners are not Cooper.
My initial comment about the gold being Cooper's for the taking was meant to be fun banter (OF COURSE nothing is guaranteed in this sport), but you had to go take all the fun out of it with your irrelevant examples and your weird compulsion to take shots at Hocker and Jakob.
If you wanted to challenge my comment, the only relevant ways to do it would have been to talk about Cooper himself (inexperience) or the strong competition he is facing. Not guys who do other events.

Likewise, what Hocker and Jakob did has nothing to do with Cooper.
