15 year-old Jamaican runs 45.9, world age record

45.69

That's better than Obea Moore's 45.99 at age 15 which, i believe, was the prior WR.

Wow...not even fully developed yet either. Super impressive. Could all cave once he discovers girls.

Empty stands in Jamaica?

Thank you for the information and the video.

Very impressive! That could probably have been a 45.2-3 had he not slowed down!

Obea ran 45.14 at sixteen. Wonder if he will get that?

This kid probably could have had that in this race if he had really gunned it... crazy talent, and still has a young face and body... WATCH OUT

When do they start registering biological passports? I hope he can stay away from testing for a few more years so that we end up with a real freak.

I believe most people over-estimate how much is actually lost in the last 3 or 4 strides..

Actually it was Kirani James at 45.70 so he was only .01 faster but being faster than Kirani James at any age is setting yourself up for greatness

I wonder if he'll move down like Bolt. Does he have any listed 100 or 200 times?
