Mondo racing Karsten over 100m on Sept 4th

I sincerely hope that Mondo is carrying his pole and Karsten has to go over a few hurdles.

Duplantis gets absolutely torched in this.

Why? Are they being paid to do this?

I foresee a pulled hammy. If not, Warholm should win easily.

Because it's novel and unique. I'm definitely interested and will watch if it's available. Want to see more of this - it esp. makes sense after a major championships. Shades of Michael Johnson vs Donovan Bailey at 150 metres after Atlanta in '96. Won by Bailey of course.

Doesn't Mondo have a PB of 10.2x? Could be wrong.

Yep, was wrong. 10.6ish 🤦‍♂️

I gotta give it to Mondo. He's pretty quick.

They should invite Tyreek Hill, too, and if he wins he can qualify to be annihilated by Lyles.

Agone if they beat him, though. Epic.

Warholm 10.38

Duplantis 10.55

To make it truly interesting, have them going opposite directions and Mondo can joust.

breaking news: the winner will box jake paul in december

One guy is an elite athlete in a discipline that requires talent in the 99th+ percentile for speed to stand a chance at the top. The other guy is in a somewhat Mickey Mouse event. I wonder who’s the favorite to win?

Have to imagine the Viking wins this just because he's so much more used to block starts rather than the standing start Mondo trains for. Also because he's fast af

I think Tyreek Hill shows up and beats them both though

This is a great post because I can’t be 100 percent sure which one is which.

Honestly think those are pretty close. Should be a good race, but I would be surprised if Mondo wins. Super intriguing though!

I dunno. 6.7x over 60 meters bodes well for him (Hill), but his training (football) would NOT translate well over those last 40 meters against two track guys.

Him having to fend those two off, even if he did win while they (Mondo/Warholm) started running him down, would certainly render the laughable Hill vs. Lyles bologna moot.

Speed my friend. You need speed to compete in the 400 with barriers or without.
