yeah.. he isn't successful at all in the 800, running it twice(?) last year and only getting the second fastest time in the world for the year.
Success is relative. My point is that Webb would surpass his already considerable success at 800m if he had national-class 400m speed. He's not even as fast as Borzakovskiy, who could only manage 45.high when he devoted a full season to the 400m.

no that was open....thanks for trying
the real reality is fun wrote:Relay times for milers can be over a second slower than actual 400 times; that 47.4 (at least) is a relay time, I have no idea how accurate or inaccurate.
It was not open, it was on a relay.

That's exactly what I'm saying. If Webb's senior high school time was good enough to be top 100 in college... and he wasn't even training to be a 400 m runner then... The reason I'm curious is as follows: If he is fast enough to be an elite college 400 m runner, then do you simply have to possess the natural ability to be a world class sprinter to be one of the top distance runners. Because people dog on his kick and raw speed, but it does seem to me that had he always trained for the 400 m instead of longer races, that he could've been relevant collegiately. Which led to my El G question. Could he have been one of the best 400 m runners in the world.
And no I wasn't trolling. Jeremy Wariner's 100m I could not find. I was just curious. I don't think he should move down, or up. Just curious. I've got a friend who is a 400 m runner who says he could beat Wariner in the 100 m. I call BS, this guy can run sub-10.3, sub 21, sub 46... I thought Wariner could go sub-10.2, maybe even sub 10.1, but I don't know if he's done it or not.
Someone else hijacked my name after that. Not sure why people do that, but whatever. I haven't read the whole thread yet, but the person seemed to be posting like a jackass.

I hate when people do that.
