pgardn is doing Avante? I thought he was older than that.

Ah...I see your confusion. Here's an easy guide to go by:

Exposed again. Didn't even qualify to the final. No expert would ever pick Gatlin as a medal winner in the 200m.

Stupid, the guy talked about his ankle problem, the one he has had all season.

And this is Gatlin at 200m

2004 (Olympic) 20.03 3 2005 (World) 20.04 1 2015 (World) 19.74 2 National Year Result Place 2004 (OT & USA Champ.) 20.01 2 2005 (USA Champ.) 20.04 1 2015 (USA Champ.) 19.57 MR 1 2016 (OT & USA Champ.) 19.75 1

None

Dude, you cannot be this dumb. While at Tennessee he broke the NCAA record in the 200m. He was the fav to win the silver ya dumb .



Bolt gold
DeGrasse silver
Merritt Bronze

I think we are looking at a 19.5ish.

2015 World Championships 200m, Gatlin taking the silver.





Dummy, where is Gatlin on the All Time 200m list?

All-time men's best 200m

[Avante]

Talk about depth of talent.

The USA went 1, 2 and 3 in the womens hurdles. The world record was broken a few weeks ago by another American who didn't even make our team. That is a....wow~




That 400m WR by South African Wayde Van Neikerk was one for the ages. And he showed what I;ve always known, the trick to great 400m sprinting is that 200m speed. That is why the record he broke was held by a former WR holder in the 200m and the current American 200m record holder Michael Johnson.. The womens 400m WR is held by a former WR 200m sprinter, Marita Koch.

The great Tommie Smith rarely ran the 400m so when he met 400m stud Lee Evans in 1966 at San Jose, how did he beat him (WR time), yep, his superior 200m speed. Smith and Evans on the same Spartan track team.

In 1964, 200m gold medalist Henry Carr (had anchored Arizona St;s WR 4x1 team) was simply given the job (hadn't ran the 400m at the trials) of anchoring our Oly 4x4 team. He didn't disappoint cooking a smooth 44.6 split. He was there because of that 200m speed.

You;ve seen Usain Bolt, he's tall and has that monster stride. Now check out the great Tommie Smith breaking the 200m WR in an amazing 19.5, on a dirt track. This was considered the greatest track and field mark ever at that time.




White people don't look like that. Look at that long lean frame and that stride, that belongs to the black man.

Here we see it again, that tall, lean frame, monster stride and black.

[Caltex2]

Gatlin talked about his ankle problems but he clearly thought he could Usain Bolt (or in other words, get a lead and then coast) to the finish line. He didn't know how many people were on his tail and then looked around, looked up and realized he had finished third.

I don't blame him, it was probably his strategy to not run a full race to conserve energy for the final against Bolt, since he'd need all he could muster. But he didn't dominate the slow heat and got burned in more than one way. He should have just gotten into a spa, eaten as healthy as possible and gotten the best night's sleep possible rather than think he could coast like that.

[140]

Stupid, the guy talked about his ankle problem, the one he has had all season.

If you were a real expert you would've taken that in consideration when making your prediction (there's a reason SFS never mentioned Gatlin).

So this is just another proof you're still an............yep........amateur when it comes to track and field. If you stay humble and listen to more knowledgeable and experienced people like SFS you might get better at it eventually though.

[Fabbs]

A pair of Brazilian synchronized divers broke off their diving partnership after one of them decided to engage in a “marathon sex session” with a Brazilian canoeist and kick her own partner out of the Olympic village dorm the day before their event was set to take place.

Gotcha. I was REALLY confused for a second there but he did say that pgardn was doing HIM. I get it now. Carry on.

[Reck]

Turns out Lochte and the other swimmers lied. Pathetic s.

Just how damn dumb are you? Dude, Gatlin is a WORLD CHAMPION at 200m, ok stupid? He is one of only 6 sprinters to run a sub 19.60. In 2015 he took the silver at those World Championships.

Track & Field News had him taking the silver as did everyone who knows this stuff.

Dude, you;re a moron.

Had "everyone" really analyzed the situation, they would have realized that Gatlin is soft and was a long shot to win a medal.
It's why I didn't mention him.

Dude, he ran a 19.5 in 2015, he took the silver at the Worlds and is an Oly bronze medalist and a WORLD CHAMPION at 200m. EVERYONE.....who understands this stuff had the USA CHAMPION taking another silver.

Stupid, he beat LaShawn Merritt at our trials, Merritt will wn the bronze maybe the silver tonight.

My God you;'re an idiot, wow~~~~~~~

It's not only looking at the sprinters history and potential. It's also about...yep...picking spots. Gatlin's hubris is his Achilles Heal. I could see coming from the qualifiers.

Dude, we both know (as does everyone ) that you don't know about this stuff. You prove that everytime you talk about a middle school kid running a 20.00. Dummy, you can't know sprinting and talk that stupid .

Stupid, there will be guys tonight in that Olympic final who won't break 20,00, ok stupid?

Stupid, this is the 2015 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

World, Beijing 2015
1	Usain Bolt	JAM	19.55
2	Justin Gatlin	USA	19.74
3	Anaso Jobodwana	RSA	19.87
4	Alonso Edward	PAN	19.87
5	Zharnel Hughes	GBR	20.02
6	Ramil Guliyev	TUR	20.11
7	Femi Ogunode	QAT	20.27
8	Nickel Ashmeade	JAM	20.33

Now think ya dumb , a middle school kid running a 20,00?

Dummy, these are the top HS times in 2015.

200 METERS
20.09		Noah Lyles (Williams, Alexandria, Va)
20.14		Michael Norman (Vista Murrieta, Murrieta, Ca)
20.56(A)		*Shamon Ehiemua (Marshall, Missouri City, Tx)
20.66		***Tyrese Cooper (American, Hialeah, Fl)
20.71		*Champion Allison (George Ranch, Rosenberg, Tx)
(A)		Maxwell Willis (Carroll, Washington, DC)
20.77		*Micaiah Harris (Western Branch, Chesapeake, Va)
20.78		*Khance Meyers (East, Kentwood, Mi)
20.82(A)		Dartez Hamlin (Burges, El Paso, Tx)
20.83		Josh Eiker (Galesburg, Il)

Only a 100% idiot would try and bull ..."I ran a 20.00 maybe faster as a kid" That screams....I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SPRINTING.

[140]

MAYBE a 20.00. Could have been faster.

The rest was TLDR

We have sooooooooooooo many idiots here it's amazing.

ers can't even figure out NOBODY UNDER 20 HAS EVER RAN A 20,00.

That's just not true. Even if it wasn't me (19.8-20.1), someone under 20 has run under 20. You're scared to admit it because then it would destroy your world that you created to escape the guilt. You've built a house of cards. When it comes falling down and you'll realize that one of the cards on top says "Pedophile". The other probably, "Small Weenie".

I'll be damn you're not as stupid as ya appear. So who were those teenagers at 20.00 or faster? Yes there have been a few.

Stupid, what do you have against taking a few minutes and finding things on the internet? This is why I ask you all those questions, I know you are too lazy to find the answers. Why are you so damn lazy?

Stupid, why the lies about 20.00? You look re ed playing that stupid , ya don't know that?

Stupid, back in the mid 80's Roosevelt HSer (Dallas) Roy Martin ran a 20.13 200m, that has been the record until this season when Noah Lykes (Virginia) ran a 20.09 at our Oly trials. Now think ya dumb , if those times have been the HS record how could some middle school kid run faster?

Dude, I get the troll, ok? But it makes ya look really really stupid and only idiots like you think it 's funny, ok?

Stupid, the fastest time for a Texas Middle School kid in 2016 was 23 something, now think ya dumb , ok?

[SpursforSix]

ers can't even figure out NOBODY UNDER 20 HAS EVER RAN A 20,00.

someone under 20 has run under 20

Yes there have been a few.

[Avante]

I was setting you up for this.

Stupid, name those teenagers who ran a 20.00 or faster?


Come on guy, DO SOMETHING..ok? Show everybody you can do something.

Give me that list of teenage 20.00 and faster, can you? And, don't you think if you had done that you'd be on the list, well?

Now watch this idiot do anything but answer ANOTHER question. He can;t answer anything because he's dumb.

[clambake]

I'm certain it was under twenty. "just have a seat right there"

[SpursforSix]

ha. Avante likes his dates like his whiskey. Aged for 12 years.
