Dunce. He is 26.
He shifted focus from LJ to sprints. He was never slow
Man, I never knew it was so easy to just shift focus and become the Olympic Champ. I mean Echevarria has jumped 8.68 legal - what is he doing messing around jumping. He could just "shift focus" and be a 9.7 guy in his sleep.
You idiots are using the "he was a long jumper DUH" argument as if it adds legitimacy to the fact he lopped 0.28 seconds off his 100m time and succeeded Usain Bolt as the Olympic Champ (running faster than Bolt did in Rio), except it's the complete opposite.
Blah,.
Can you think of another fast Long Jumper?
Carl Lewis? Larry Myricks.
If you are a long jumper, you are also a sprinter. If you stop jumping, you become a full time sprinter.
And now we have the shoes.
You should be asking why the other guys choked.
He ran 9.80, not 9.58
He is still yards behind Bolt.
