Before this thread falls off the page due to ...it's stupid. Avante to the rescue.
I can't get this....I ran a 20.00 or faster as just a middle school kid....off my mind.
I;m having a hard time visualizing you beating Andre DeGrasse for the silver in Rio.
Just think, a 20.00 or faster puts you in second place here as just a little kid.
Now imagine a little middle school kid winning the silver medal there.
Andre DeGrasse is the first sprinter to run a sub10.00 for USC, he is the Canadian200m record holder and you would beat him in the 200m as a middle school kid.....right?
, if ya had lived in Europe you are winning their 200m Championships.
, as just a little kid you are winning the 1960 Olympic 200m by a mile.

Obviously 4 years later you are still a young sprinter so ya win it all again.
