The Track and Field Iceberg 

We needed this video

fucking belive it

Absolutely gut wrenching, poor baby never even saw his first Olympics 😢

It’s Actually pretty easy. Just get some tacos.

@@kilianhzh Or a dragster.

​@@torunit4620 Or a rocket ship

@@Rylen2028 or... a bike

Maybe that’s why current commentators are so flat, seriously though, watching the NCAA indoor championship this year with its commentary did not do the athletes justice for their racing

His excitement on that clip is awesome LOL, I love it

like what's wrong with that?? get hype! that boy can run!!!

dude fr. like i would be like that emphatic comentator bc even just that 1 clip made the event way more interesting. now its boring as shit bc you cant yell and stuff

Is imagine 99% would be underwater 💀

would be all underwater

I think the most damning piece of evidence for me were the statistical anomalies when it came to not just FloJo, but the other runners in the race as well. They followed a *massively* different trajectory then your traditional heats > finals curve than what most sprinters will normally have (accounting for wind too ofc) Imo, the people who did the study in the 90's did prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the record was wind-aided. Flojo was technically capable of running 10.49 under ideal conditions, but in the Olympic Trials semis, I just can't see a valid argument other than the officials saying "no, yeah, it was working I swear guys." To my knowledge, the IAAF hasn't even addressed this particular study either. It provides incredibly compelling evidence that highlights anomalies beyond what could reasonably happened at an event of this scale, and this is isn't even the only flawed sprint-related thing they have etched into their system (e.g. the reaction-timing rule is incredibly flawed and non-academic as well).

@@RunnerBoi yes its about 95% likely the wind was over +4.0, further evidence and examination might bring about proof that supersedes what currently stands, what I mean is the data recording process in the wind reader could prove the real speed, something defaulted the result to 0.0 but the actual wind speed data was recorded. then again minutes after the race there was a triple jump recorded around 1.2 , who knows what the average speed was over that 11 seconds of race, it would be hilarious if the wind readings were properly calculated and the result was legal, maybe a huge gust caught the runners around the 60m mark for a couple of seconds launching them to unreal times but unable to make the average over 2.0 with a big headwind coming in after Flo Jo had finished or for a few seconds before the race but still during the duration of time the wind reader was active I think its about 15 seconds, some people make the argument of a counter side wind, its all pretty ridiculous but what isnt is that it cant be proven until more developments are made and I hope they are. Thompsons 10.54 is very deserving. a video about the wind reader used in 1988 would be pretty cool, wonder how obtainable they are today and if its easy to recreate a 0.0 in windy conditions ? being informative of how they work and how they read the wind speed would be a great addition to a video about the 10.49.

Ah, okay I see what you're saying. Also the wind wasn't just 0.0, but 0.00 I realized after looking back on it! Makes it much more precise and all the stranger too@@cattycats4

If I included every single notable athlete in every discipline, the video would have been like 2 hours lol. Not to mention I included Lewis, Bolt, and Kipchoge in the video, just within different contexts. Also including something like Bolt's accomplishments in an iceberg vid would be pretty pointless given how household of a name he is. The point of iceberg vids at times is that the information isn't something an outsider would know right off the bat (and then down the line, it's info that not even track fans know), so including Gatlin's bans is more intriguing than meandering through Bolt's accomplishments that everyone already knows.

americans on youtube all seem to do this and i have no idea why

KEK I did end up listening to the whole thing while bike riding. Good content and the doping doctor vid

Who?

@@gudlukkay samuel wanjiru

Whenever I double/triple-check vids this long, I *still* somehow manage to mishear my own dates when I say them wrong haha. Good catch.

@@RunnerBoi I am sometimes astounded at the things my mouth says.

@@KumoriNA-ov8elthe video shouldn't require I pause, google something, then return to the video. Just give a sentence or two in the video to explain it.

nah i support him getting some coins for his work. him getting demonotized wouldn't hurt youtube at all

hate the system not the person, still f'd tho
