2024 Track and Field Thread — OLYMPICS!!! - Noah Lyles !!! Fastest Man in the world , but not in the 200!!! LOL

[Xennial]

now the main event today Men's 400m finals, I got Quincy Hall for this

 

[danger style]

dam De Grasse is not looking good

Mans really missed out on both finals yikes

 

[paulwest1985]

Man, Quincy Hall did his thing today! That comeback was spectacular!

You think bolt running sub 9.8 right right now?

He’s the world record holder

 

[tramericanjr]

Did Usain Bolt die? How is Noah Lyles the fastest man in the world?

the fastest man / woman at the world games / olympics is considered the fastest in the world … it’s a current title not an all time “title “

 

[tramericanjr]

both Naser and Paulino look like they're in Olympic Record form for the finals

both look top form … would of loved sydney to run the 400 and 400 hurdles in the same olympics

Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world until someone beats his WR

 

[IATT]

He’s the world record holder

He ran 9.58 on august 16th, 2009

It is august 7th, 2024

So again, do you think bolt is getting up right now and running sub 9.8?

In his last race in 2017, in the world championships when he came 3rd in the final he ran 9.95

that’s not how it works … lol

he’s the fastest man ever

 

[IATT]

he’s the fastest man ever

Exactly.. he’s the fastest ever, but that was ran almost 15 years ago

We’ve seen a couple of the “fastest ever” in the pool or on the track, lose races in the past two weeks

Tebogo really made history

 

[tramericanjr]

Quincy Hall not available for the 4x400 relay i'm hearing, Botswana could be a real threat now

 

[IATT]

 

[IATT]

Give him a month I think he could get 10.3-5 range

But I don’t think he has sub 9.9 on him anymore.. maybe sub 10 after solid solid SOLID time training

 

[tramericanjr]

tebogo is amazing … 2/ 400 might be what he needs to do … wish he was able to do all 3 … that would be dope …

 

[tramericanjr]

team usa did great again this olympics in track and field … they are getting better and better in the longer distances …

disappointed in jamaica sprinters …. but they have a lot of young guns who have to take over and should be improving

3 out of 5 relays won gold
the mixed 4x 400 won silver

but the 4x 100 men need to get it together for the olympics man every 4 years it’s the same thing

 

[IATT]

 

[tramericanjr]

Siffan Hassan is one of the athletes of these olympics

Just won Gold in the Marathon less than two days after winning Bronze in 10,000m and Bronze a couple days before that in the 1500m

That is Insanity.

There were four athletes going for Gold in the last 800m.

Amazing !

Xennial you seeing anything about the about of injuries the US men had in the 4 x 4?

They saying that’s why young boy had to run the prelims.. he’s injured too supposedly and that was why he wasn’t in the mixed 4 x 4.. but they had zero choice with rai having his 400 hurdles final and then Norman hurt too.. so they took the risk running young boy first with his injury (supposedly his hamstring)
