If someone in their early 30s showed up this year and ran a 10.10 in the 100m Dash at the US champs out of nowhere, could they realistically get a shoe contract with any real financial weight behind it? Or is an older 10.1 guy pretty much a pointless investment and thus unlikely to get any kind of compensation/funding?
Or is 10.1 not worth anything these days from a shoe contract standpoint no matter how old you are unless you are a teen?
I wouldn't buy any shoes from a company that invested in slow old geezers.
So you're saying there's a chance?
No ... companies can invest in a young 10.1 guy in hopes that he may be a rising star and will run < 10. A 30+ guy is past his prime and will only get slower.
No, but outstanding for masters. Kim Collins still has a contract, I think, but you are not in his class. Even a teen will not get a contract with 10.1.
