Can’t comapre Cooper to fully developed runners who were at their peak. He isn’t fully developed not at his peak.
Ok. It’s shoes and “bicarb”. Where are all the other guys his age who should at least be close to him if this is the case. Why the massive gap?
You are incredibly disingnuous and ignorant.
Lutkenhaus ran 45.3 relay leg at 16. He also ran 46.3 in the 400m after running a 1:47.04 800m. Coe’s best 400m feom the blocks was 46.8, and he was fresh and at his peak. We don’t know what Cooper can actually do yet in the 200m, other than the 200m he ran over two years ago in lousy weather as part of a day that involved several other races as usual, as you can see on his YT channel. He was 15 at the time and it’s nonsense to believe he has stagnated so far at any distance.
Comparing him to 24 year old Tom Courtney is a bit premature - but there is some physical similarity. You’re here only to attempt to bother people, and because of an odd jealousy that you and others have toward a younster who has so far had an amazingly successful career.
