I can't help but wonder considering Rai is like 6'3.25-6'3.5 and Warholm is like 6-0.5-6'1 and white, and Rai's legs seem to take up more of his body, proportionally speaking, than Warholm's.
I know the times suggest otherwise but I wonder if Benjamin is "underperforming" although 46.2 in the 400 hurdles can hardly be considered underperforming
There are advantages to both of the body types you mention. 6'0" to 6'1" is easily tall enough for the event. Shorter legs can (depending on other attributes) turn over faster and the amount of explosive power generated is also vitally important. Both Rai and Karsten are exceptional athletes.

Why is it ok to point out that someone is white as a disadvantage?

i would surmise it has something to do with the overwhelming majority of top sprinters being black
The 400 metres hurdles at the Summer Olympics is the longest hurdling event held at the multi-sport event. The men's 400 m hurdles has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since 1900, with a sole gap at the 1912 Su...

Hey why is being white considered a mark against him?

In sprint events?
How other people of your race perform has nothing to do with anything. Other white people’s sprint generics have nothing to do with Warholm’s, only his do. Christian McCaffrey is far and away the best running back in football (50 media members vote for All Pro, all 50 voted for McCaffrey as their first team selection), does the fact other white running backs suck have anything to do with his performance? No. Had there ever been a good mixed black/Asian golfer before Tiger Woods?

You think that the fact the top NFL running back is white for the 1st time in what, 60 plus years, means race has nothing at all to do with sprint ability?

Yes, Rai Benjamin is more possessive of inner beauty, a quality that can only be appreciated but is not observable through any physical means.
Ok. Most Fortune 100 board rooms are white. Do you think this is because black folks are cognitively deficient? I don’t.
I’m given to understand from LR experts that the forum bible The Bell Curve decisively says that black folks have a higher average stupidity index (that I’m defining as 100 minus IQ).
I don't know who's more talented, but the fact of the matter is Rai is notably faster than Karsten, and keeps losing because:
a) He is more fragile (physically and mentally) b) He can't establish a consistent hurdle technique. Example, in the Budapest final, he switched his strategy from the semi finals even though that strategy had gotten him a 46 mid earlier in the year (and later in the year at the DL final where he beat Warholm), to a strategy that he had not practiced enough, and paid for it by getting bronze when the race was won in a time he can and has jogged.

Warholm being a bit shorter is an advantage. He naturally hits 13 strides between hurdles going full gas. Benjamin when going full gas at the beginning of the race will come up too close to the hurdle when using 13 strides. That's why he has been experimenting with 12 strides. So while Benjamin has to carefully monitor his stride pattern, Warholm is just running as fast as he can.

a lot has been said about benjamin's higher talent ceiling; but the name of the game is Results: wins, medals, records, consistency.
as long as warholm keeps winning on that end, benjamin's greater projected talent dont matter at this point unfortunately

This is the only comment worth reading in one of the most racist threads I have seen on lrc. Disgusting. Grant Holloway is slightly too tall, and long legged, for 110m hurdles. Sounds like Benjamin has same issue with 400m hurdles. Both still good enough to beat the world.
