Sheeeesh quincy hall went to the depths

That was ugly.

And that's exactly how the 400M should be, ugly, it takes grit to run the 400.

sorry brehs, i came back to bark once again

what a specimen

This is facts. I ran this in Junior High, hated it. I preferred Long Jump. Coach asked me to run the 400 a few times and I remember pulling my quad and still finishing the race. That was the last time I ran that shyt.

It's tough because there's no pacing for it, it's 1 lap at full speed. shyt is brutal

400/800 are the worst. 400 is a whole lap sprint, 800 is a very weird event to run. I ran it but I preferred 1500 by far. 800 is ass

I used to run cross country was fourth in OFSAA in hs back in the day and yeah 400 is the woat. Basically sprinting the whole 400

I liked 1500 because you can run your own race

All I did in high school was the jumps, so at the end of the meet when they start saying they need to have somebody on the 400 or 800 I would already have my regular clothes on. Not fcking with y'all man

The 'black' guy is Omar Salim and he has an interesting genetic ancestral background. Omar's father is Half Tanzanian (Father) and Half Hungarian (Mother). Omar's mother is American, most likely Afram/ADOS judging by Omar's phenotype.

Ain't too many ADOS brehs can say "big momma is Hungarian."

Deep. Not BS, I believe the article, makes complete sense. My friends and I had these discussions for years but we didn’t have the science to back it up. Breh I could tell you stories about the influx of yout mon coming to Brooklyn back in the days, we Americans were athletic, but the fresh from the yard kids were dunking with dress shoes on during gym time in school. There’s something different about Jamaican sprinters.

I think for raw athleticism, they beat out Black American kids......but I think Black American kids can "scale up" in size more effectively which works for hoops, football etc.

I've watched that 400m final like 5x now
