downvoted on this but the 400mH in both genders have taken off in the last 3 years. One of the best events now, having been a bit of an afterthought previously.
Lol that was barely slower than the 400 runners just ran
JFC, that was unearthly. 3 years ago, when guys here were arguing about whether she'd end up breaking 53, I was quite sure she'd end up way under 52, but THIS,... THIS is just absurd. Now, you could probably make it close to even money she might eventually crack 50-flat, if she wants to keep pushing it for a few more years. I would not have thought that was possible.
Did anybody catch her full stride-pattern? Did she go 14 through 7, and 15 through 10?
(If so, I'm assuming that's probably the first time we've seen that?)
Freaking unbelievable. PLEASE put her on the Goddamn relay. It'd be SO much fun to watch her race Shaunae and Paulino.
It definitely was. We now know that the old 52.75 was the softest modern record by far...she’s lowering the record by a second per year...in a 400m long event hahaha
Yeah. She was totally stunned --as were we. She's sitting there thinking 'Are you f***ing kidding me??? I knew I could probably get pretty close to 51, if things went well, but THIS?? How freaking fast can I go? Could I actually end up breaking 50 seconds???'
I really appreciate that she actually seems to look tired after her runs. It bothers me when someone blows away the field in a 1500 or 5k or something and then just continue to jog a victory lap looking like they're not breathing hard. She's like - ok I can take some pictures but let me keep sitting here for a few minutes first.
Calm down. Last year it was “will she break 52.” This year it was “will she break 51”
How many goal posts are in this game? Plus I believe she mentioned doing other events.
She didn’t break 51, she destroyed it with no one pushing her (not that that may ever happen again) on a day when 44.3 won the open men’s 400 and everyone was talking about the wind.
if she stays healthy and stays motivated, I don’t see why any of those 3 things are unattainable for her.
