    Saw him run during the last Olympics and he was holding back.

    "snore"?

    Are you kidding me?

    Man! The best 400 I've ever done was 63, the best 200 was 31 and the best 100 was 13 and some change so YES it's a big deal.

    Think of it. You run 100-200 meters , sign a few deals and you've made your money for life as long as you don't go crazy.

    The deal is that he's SUPPOSED to be too tall to be that fast. He's about the same size as my brother 6'4-6'5 190 lbs. The guy is a steel cat.

    I don't think we've seen the best yet. He's going to fix the books like Bob Beamon did in 68 when he busted the records for the long jump by almost 2 feet.

    Thanks for the video Mrsjones! I was looking for it.

    19.19 New world record!

    Of course you really have to be down on the track to really feel the speed.

    I've been running for 38 years and let me tell you. There's nothing scarier than doing the 100, 200 or 400. These may be short races, but they aren't "short" on what they require of you. You have to have incredible focus because winning or losing is about not just your talent and your work ethic, but also about your mind and how well you can keep control of it.
