He's an unsponsored 400m runner. He's paying to compete. He probably will never make it big because of things beyond his control (genes). He made if far enough, good for him, now find a job outside athletics. You won a WC medal and broke a WR, good enough.

His dad is the founder and CEO of an energy company. Matt went to a private school in Houston. Moneywise I think he is doing fine.

By your reasoning there would be no sport of any sort. Anyone but the best of the best should quit. Jealousy much?

He should try the decathlon. Would excel at 100, 400, LJ. That's not a bad start.
Maybe he ought to enter the Diamond League Triathalon being held tomorrow in Paris, consisting of the Shot Put, Long Jump, and 110m Hurdles. Galloway would be another interesting entry.

Yeah that little turd should give up on his dreams and work a job he has zero passion for and live in a copypaste apartment/house like the good little machine cog he was destined to be
Or idk maybe he could continue doing something he loves and that fulfills him, all the while continuing to inspire others. (he has enough of a social media following and small brand partnerships that he makes more than you GUARANTEED btw)

He can do whatever he wants. I don't understand why people on here think that just because an athlete doesn't meet the expectations of some random, non-athletic stranger, it means a runner should "give up."
How much more time does he need to learn that going out sub-21 means finishing in 24.5 with virtually the entire field passing him in the home stretch? His last 100 in the 400 OT final was barely under 13 seconds.
We've all gone out way too fast in races of all lengths. But most of us learn fairly quickly. Did Matt run a single 400 all year where he went out in 22?
I like Matt and wish him the very best. He has the tools. He just needs to run a lot smarter.

Boling only does one of those events.
If he can do a decathlon, as suggested earlier, then surely he can pull off this triathlon ‘mini’.

I wonder if he’s ever considered the Decathlon.. He’s jumped 8.01m in the long jump and close to 2m in the high jump. He’s got the classic decathlete build. Could be a great move for him.
Why would a 24 year old who has run 9.9 , 19.9 , and sub 45 quit ? I would understand if he did quit and move on with his life but the alternative is also logical. Why would he quit for you ?
