Moses also ray 1:48 several times in the early season, and something like 13.6 or 13.7 in the HH. He was light years ahead of his time. Tracks and shoes have improved a lot since his era.
Julien Alfred had the No. 2 ALL TIME 60 meters and the No. 2 ALL TIME 200 meters. How can her performance not be No. 1?
While records are records, the number of prs in the sprints and jumps tells me there was something (not) in the air in NM.
I see they adjust qualifying performances for altitude (for example 0.02 up from Big 12 time in 60 and 0.07 up from Big 12 time in 200) but the actual times at altitude become the record? Lubbock TX is 3,217 feet.

That's interesting. So the record stands but if the times were run in the regular season, they would get adjusted for qualifying? What would the adjustment be? If that's the case, how fast would Bol run at altitude.

It looks like the adjustment on the 400 was +0.11 sec at Big 12 meet (Lubbock, 3,217 feet)
I would say the 400M is more accurately the LONGEST SPRINT
And you would be wrong. It’s not a sprint at all, it’s a fast run, and requires a ton of pacing to get right.
Given Michael Johnson, one of the greatest runners of the 400M calls this distance the longest sprint as well, I have to agree with Mr. Johnson and the NYDC poster.

It is how Jacobs beat ADG in Tokyo '20--Jacobs was sprinting well, ADG was sprinting less well. ADG has the consummate 200m style--more heel recovery, more arm backswing, less focus on the front side--while Jacobs has a much more advantageous 100m style. Lyles also has excellent 200m style. Sometimes we are fooled into thinking "if only a guy like Lyles, or ADG, or Lemaitre or Bolt with their huge strides, could just continue on to 400, they would crush the WR", when in fact that is an impossibility. Not even 200m form can be held over 400m. While 200m should definitely be a sprint with sprint form, it is a less pure sprint form than that which excels over 100m--but it is still a sprint form.
It is why WVN relatively underperforms in the 100 and 200. Seriously, 43 in the 400, but "only" 19.8 in the 200? Pure 100m sprint form is not the same motion as the fastest 400m form, and it's not even close. It is a totally different biomechanic. The fact that 400m athletes are trying to keep their knees high and their arms driving during the last 100m does not make it a sprint. They are desperately trying to mimic some of the outward characteristics of sprint form, but they do not simultaneously discard those outward characteristics that are not included in sprint form. They are therefore not sprinting, they are running with exaggerated high knees and arm pumping.
What can I say, if you haven't ever really sprinted, you will have no experience of what I'm talking about. I have tried to illustrate it with words and accompanying videos, but I can do no more.
All of this is why Tebogo could be the next super-major-threat.
IF he optimizes his sprint form and adds just a bit of power, he is challenging for gold imo, well into the 9.7's. And that is not to mention the 200, with his current form only slightly modified, with a bit more power in early acceleration.
