Mathew Hudson Smith | Matthew Boling DOMINATES Men’s 400m | Jamaica invitational 2024 

Can you WR NOW 42.97 ?

just broke his euro record in Oslo, looks like first european to break through 44 seconds, hopefully at olympics

Matt also lowered his indoor 400 meter time this year by about 3/4 of a second.

@@phoebusI don’t think he lowered his previous PB. He had ran 45.58 I believe, but I think his times outdoor, given his indoor times should drop a lot with good training

@@jjgreen5206 Boling ran 45.47 in February of this year and that is his new PB indoors. And yes he is improving outdoors taking almost 2 tenths off his previous best from last year's US Nationals where presumably he was in peak condition.

Does that mean Boling has run sub 10 for the 100, sub 20 for the 200 and sub 45 for the 400? If he has, there can't be many who have done that.

​@@dctbassonly a handful, maybe 4 or 5

Me too! That kid is amazing! Hopefully he can stay healthy, because if he does, I think he's probably got a 44 mid in him.

Jr. WR at 16!?

You could look for a better quality video than pissing here

4x400 is easier cuz you get a running start.

@@aroncampos5720 4 years and no improvement? He doesn't know what a good coach is.

@@doloreschansey9556 YOU clearly don't know the difference between a standing start, and a running start. Go back to sleep.

@@aroncampos5720 You missed the point. When he ran the 44.7 split, it was his fourth event of the day. He is not as fast as he should be. He wasted time in college focusing on the wrong events.

Boling had a great HS and college career, he’s not fast enough to compete at the next level. Boling will never run sub 44 which is what it takes to compete in the 400. I tip my cap to what he’s accomplished and am a fan, but time to pursue another passion

He never wins tho.

All the others who have done it have won international models.

His neck and shoulders sure seize up He needs yoga lessons

You are absolutely right. I haven't seen him tie up like that before. But that's something he can work on. I'm glad for his success in that race.

You're 100% correct. I see the same thing. He should be the next Jeremy Wariner.

Right now Matt Boling is the 11th best 400 meter of the U.S.,29th internationally. 44.98 .At the Edwin Moses track meet in Atlanta, he took last place in the 100m 10.38 and 3rd place in the 200m 20.38. He didn't come out of the blocks well on either race. I was really surprised. I don't know if he was looking to get a qualifying time for the U.S. trials. I thought he would compete in the 400m.

As an alternative on the 4 x 4 is the only way Boling will get to Paris sorry to say

@@MrKermisj or that mixed male/female 4 x 400 relay.

I think the video is saying they BOTH dominated…not that Boling dominated.

@@stevie586 Boling dominated the 1st 300m or so

@@joecasey7415 but that’s not what it meant. I don’t think he dominated 300M…I think they both were close…the stagger can be very confusing. They both looked great, though, and I really like Boling focusing on the 400M; that is where he belongs and the spot that will get him the most medals now.

@@stevie586 Hard to say unless we see 100m splits. Looks to me like Boling led to maybe 200m?

@@joecasey7415 it looks to me like Boling led to about 175, but he was definitely in second by 200M. Staggers can be extremely confusing, and I’m telling you, me running 300 and 400M hurdles on different tracks (some are very wide and round, some are a perfect oval, etc.) use to confuse the heck out of me when trying to gauge where I was at times, as well! For me, I guess I’m so use to seeing, I can tell the difference. Matt got out extremely well, and I think that’s when Smith began to dig a little deeper at about 180 to get back on pace. To be honest, in the 400M, most take it very easy until about the 200M line, which is when they begin to raise their arm carriage, and start putting down more speed…notice 400M runners on the backstretch have low arm carriage at that point. It was a great race, though, and I’m happy to see how well Boling is doing in the 400M. Boling ran an amazing first leg at world relays, also!

Yes . By far . I used to run the 440 yd dash in the 1970’s along with 220 , 100 . The 400 is 50% sprint , 25% measured coast and 25% monkey on the back struggle to the end . It drains everything out of a runner.

He clocked 44.98

You know how it goes. Same happens with Steiner. Heading will say Steiner dominates then shows races 2-3 years ago

​@@thelog86She's racing this weekend why don't you wait and see what she's going to do before commenting on her races from years back?

The Boling haters never cease to amaze me. He could break the world record and people would be saying "well he isn't the only one to break a world record."

@@robertandrews3055 I'm not hating on Matthew. I'm simply saying he didn't win the race. Truth is not hatred.

Read the title carefully

You cant dominate a race and come second.

Altitude training is for better aerobic capacity in distance races.

@@robertspies4695 it benefits everyone in any capacity of oxygen depletion. MMA fighters aren't running miles either and they see the benefit. Boling needs help with his last 80m.

@@truth8508 Hiltz, Mu and Purrier are all middle distance runners that would benefit of course. 400 m not so much.

@@robertspies4695 he's fighting for tenths and there is no risk to do it.

@@artandarchitecture6399 The way it is written, using the word "dominates" would indicate Mr Boling dominated. If they had written "Smith and Boling dominate 400", that would have indicated both.

He'll win gold in the mixed 4x4. He's found his place in the relays. Happy for him . . . seems like a good kid who is saddled with the great white hype through no fault of his own.

@@artandarchitecture6399 Yes Matt is in the big leagues now and it's no disgrace to lose to one of the best 400m runners in the world for many years by 3 tenths of a second while setting your personal best, these people telling Matt to quit track after running less than year as a pro are nuts or racist or both.

@@JaymoJoints Matt isn't so much being saddle with hype as he is being attacked by racist. He 23 years old and runs the best 400m of his life and people here are telling him to quit track after less one year as a pro. What about all those people who finished behind Matt is anybody here telling them they should quit track? No, just Matt because he's White.
