I am shocked that someone involved in Pro Wrestling would say something sensational and untrue.

The topic of conversation here should be "Is he actually that fast' not what is the correct name of two Olympic events.
In causal conversation I always call the 400m "The Quarter" and the 4x400m the mile relay.. Nobody in the Athletics world ever takes me to task over it. They know if the event I was speaking about was an actual mile relay my conversation would be clear that I was speaking 4x440y . . .
We all got the message the guy mislabeled the events or an editor converted the comment into user friendly distances for us dumb metrically challenged Americans.
People have no idea how fast 'fast' is in context with Olympian runners.
In conversation about how fast todays marathoners are I sent a friend to quickly run to the corner a city block or so away and back. I then explained that his pace for that 200 or so yards was roughly equal to the pace used for the full distance in the WR race.
I'm very sorry for not reading the published 'what I must focus on in this thread rules'. My sincere and heartfelt apologies for any pain or discomfort caused by my heinous error of judgement.
Actually, bollocks to being polite,who made you the arbiter of what this thread should be about? The guy is clearly talking bullshit if he claims that this fella can qualify for the 100 yards at the Olympics as there is no such event.
That's just as relevant as your patronising crap. And as for your claim that your friend was running at WR marathon pace running a non-measured distance, without being timed, then that's clearly a load of shite as well. Plus, who makes their friend randomly run along the street and back? I'm going to guess you don't have many friends!
Oh, and thanks to the kind person who commented 'FTW'.
Erm . . .
I'd Argue Allyson Felix is our best sprinter. I'd also bet that she would beat Lesner in the 200 and 400, maybe even the 100.
What do you mean maybe? The guy is massive and can't run for sh*t
