What the..That's an Olympian?

 

[Miggs]

at no point did anyone in the US claim anyone but Usain Bolt was fastest man alive, or GOAT. If Justin Gatlin had got him we would've.

Michael Johnson / NBC / USA thing had to do with the fact that the games were IN ATLANTA. And he set the world record in the 2nd most prestigious event, the 200m. So yeah, we told our story. You can tell your story. It was a special situation, but outside of that, 100m winner has always been universally acknowledged as fastest man on earth.

Bro thats exactly what i said because it was in Atlanta they didnt want to give Bailey the recognition over Johnson....I didnt say it was recurring but it was a moment where the 100m winner wasnt recognized because of sour grapes...

Also have to mention that the Johnson and the US had lobbied to get the Schedule changed so that Johnson could run the 200/400m double in the first place.

That Spain France final was crazy!

 

[Bigwhite2498]

There's levels to this shyt.

They practice for what a couple of weeks if that in a holding camp. Burrell Mitchell Marsh and Lewis had been practicing and racing as unit for years. You do not get that level of chemistry in a couple day or weeks

We don’t need prefect chemistry we literally should’ve just ran the same group as yesterday it wasn’t perfect but that still would’ve won gold
