Lol, how about 45-high? Thanks for the worst take ever.
To be fair, 4 years ago he was only a 48 second hurdler, and NO ONE in the entire world thought that he would ever go sub 46.
And very, very few people (including me to be honest) even thought he would go sub 47, when even the great Edwin Moses couldn't do it.
Oh right. But Holloway was a gonna do even though he doesn't even have a 400H time on record, nor a 400 time. In fact his best 300H time was 36.73 vs Warholms 34.mid at that time.
Was ok to speculate on Holloway breaking it but not Warholm, even though Holloway was much much farther from it. How interesting...I wonder why?
Yes it was fair to speculate on what Holloway would do. There was no issue speculating on both. Hell, I am still curious as to what GH could do in 400h if he trained for that specifically for most of the reasons that were true in 2018. GH basic speed 60 is clearly better than Karsten or Rai. 6.50 in 2019 would have put him in final at indoor worlds this year. If he has .02 --.03 improvement each year, GH would have medal and possibly won world indoor this yeae. Neither Karesten or Rai have an advantage in hurdle technique. 12.81..nuff said. GH routinely drops 43s on the relays, even back in 2018. Again, with his traing focus not being geared towards the 400 or 400h.
Based on this, it was not crazy in 2018 to speculate that GH could break young's record or in 2022 to speculate that he could break the 400h record now. Key world being speculate. Don't see GH ever traing specifically for 400h. Oh and to use a 300h time that was 3 years old to prove the error in speculating on GH is crazy. It would have been natural to assume his 300h would have drastically imroved from 2015 to 2018, particularly because of him speed, hurdle technique and what he was doing to actual 400m runners on those 4x4 legs. If anyone is not curious to see what a Karsten, Rai, GH Dos Santos 400h race would looke like if GH trained for the 400h, you are not a real T&F fan. Surely the wr and other records would fall in that race. It is fun to speculate.
