We all saw his race against Noah Lyles and now he says he's gonna make the 2028 Olympics.
Does anyone actually see this as being possible and what times do you think he could run.
He is clearly a freak athlete and has major potential.

Literally 0% chance he can qualify for the Olympics taking up track in his 20's.
Hes honestly very athletic though, could probably go sub 11 in the 100m with dedicated training
He should try to qualify for the special Olympics.

Don't tell me you send money to this guy too? I know how easily manipulated you are by online influencers.
He's one of those people that needs to shut up and go away.
He probably runs a 19 minute 5k, too.
I think he can hit sub 11 but sub 9 is going to be very hard. Sub 9 takes years of dedicated training and years of consistency. It's just like training for a sub 13 5k, everyone imo can run sub 14 just like how everyone can run sub 11 but it takes years upon years of consistent training to reach sub 13 and sub 10 in the 100m. No random dude who is generally fit can run sub 10. You need years of consistent training and years of consistent competition.
when we say sub 11 we are referring to a 100m dash not a 3200 pal

He would probably better at long jump - have you see that guy jump over cars?

I mean, Eugene Amo-Dadzie took up track when he was 26 and ran 9.93 a few years later so never say never
But yes I agree that it is very improbable
Alright, help a dumb distance guy out with a sprinting development question. So I think we all know that someone can find distance running later in life, let's say in their 20's, and over a period of years, develop talent to the point where they can run some impressive times. Maybe someone that did other sports in high school, runs their first marathon in 4+hrs, and turns themselves into a sub 2:25 guy. Maybe even faster. Can the same thing happen in sprinting? As in some guy that runs a 14s 100m and after a period of YEARS of training run sub 11?
I feel like I've NEVER heard of that happening, but obviously could be wrong. Are there any examples of that? Maybe my analogy with times are slightly off here too, so correct me if that's the case as well.

"Society" looks at the guy training his a$$ off to run sub 11 at some local open track when he is in his late 20s as a total loser. "Society" looks at some slob barely training and completing a marathon in 5 hours as a hero. There is a reason we only hear about the marathon examples.

Pretty sure he is already well under 11 seconds.
I will get back to you on that. Took up sprinting recently and am mid 14s. Trying hardest. Honestly I don't think sub 11 would ever be possible, but sub 13 might be.
Nah if he were to run a 100 right now he would probably run low 12 maybe even sub 12 and with some decent training he would be in the 11 second range in no time. 14 really isn't a hard mark to reach. Us Distance runners split 14s and even some 13 second 100m in our 200 repeats.
Keep putting in the work though. No reason why you can't run sub 12 either with some decent training and consistency.

Yes, there are many cases of that. Happens in masters all the time. Some things just come together later in life - dedication, sleep, fitness, food, life situations, ect.
