ie which record is harder? MJ heard he ran 42.9 for the 4x400 relay WR. JW ran 43.08 last night. seems JW can maintain his 400 speed longer while MJ gets off the blocks faster judging by the greater differential btw their 400 standing start PB's and rolling start 400 times.

Actually, MJ ran 42.91 on the OLD world record from 1993 in Stuttgart. The CURRENT world record, set at the Goodwill Games in 1998, had MJ split 43.2.
I think they both could go next year, so i'm going to go for 400m. Wariner in a year has got to improve by about 0.2 really, if conditions was better for his final he would of ran 43.3low.
Now next year America could have some astonishing 400m runners(they already have), Wariner at WR form, Merritt 43.5-6, X-man (god knows), whack in taylor or clement, im going to say clement and say he will be around 44 flat but a much better relay runner with his great strength. The WR will definately be under threat, i just hope this beijing track will be rapid like the osaka one.
They need to stop handing out gold medals to Darold Williamson and put the four fastest legs on the team. When the U.S. team was going to replace 2 of the legs from the semifinal team, I assumed Williamson was definitely out. If he runs in the semis he gets a medal anyway. Clement should have been on the track, period. I hope the Olympic Head Coach gets this right next year.
just run baby

Tell that to Kerron; he didn't feel 100% and bowed out of the final.

Well, I strongly doubt that JW will take up cycling or XC skiing.
