So many persons were ready to write the obituary for sprinting in Jamaica without even waiting on the trials to see what would happen. I just laughed to myself because I know that we know when to show up and show out. No medals are awarded in April, May, June, or July, it's what happens in August that counts.
It happens every year, where people decide by the end of June which 3 people will be on the podium. We can also expect the Jamaicans to improve more from the trials to the Olympics than the Americans, many of whom won’t run any faster than they already have this season. Part of me wants to be frustrated by the arrogant amnesia of the ones crowning the May and June champions, but the best response, like you said, is just to laugh to ourselves and say “let’s wait and see”.
@@TrackandFieldNationSir, I respect your honesty! The irony is that I personally always rate your content as one the more unbiased (if not Jamaica-ward) in the T&F fraternity. As American as you are, I was somewhat convinced that you have Jamaican heritage...😂
This is very exciting for Jamaica. They have the potential to do something they haven’t done since 2012 in putting two men on the Olympic podium. Kishane also tore his quad in January and has only been training for a couple months. If this is what he looks like in heats with minimal training, he could be capable of 9.6.
Nahh, he doesn't hsve the 60...100m split of a 9.6s sprinter. Not yet at least. Neithet the start (thus far). He's still very young so could improve a ton, though.
9.82 for a prelim trial is wild. He either is going to gas out for the final cause that was his best or dude gonna be blitzing to the finish line. Sheesh
It’s not smart no matter which way we slice it. Who would run that fast that early and why, with finals being tonight? I hope he uses his sense and slows it down a bit for the semi finals.
This guy is legit ,the fact that he did 9.82,9.84 & 9.77 in a span of two days and he hasn't raced that much? Guys we should be worried of this guys potential He is only 22 imagine with more races injury free training he will only get better
Lets see who Qualify for Paris. Once in Paris. Who can relax and run fast....not crumble under the Glare of the Bright Lights. Looking Forward to August. 2024 Olympics
@@JerrySidhu yea, just see that ... after 9.82 slowing down 9.7 was on the card and he still didnt run thru the line ... Noah must be drinking a lot of water
This is also tied for the 3rd fastest 100m run on Jamaican soil, with only Blake’s 9.75 in 2012 and Bolt’s 9.76 in 2008 being faster. Neither of those were run in the heats.
@@roylle6346 The same 9.82 against Lyle's at Racers Meet, that's why he says the 9.82 is tied for 3rd fastest time. Oblique and Kishane are tied for 3rd
The fact that last year when he run 9.85 he triped a little bit ,n the middle of the race which is scary to me . He can properly run 9.74 at the Olympics but you never know. Also Marcell Jacobs is healthy this year.
USAIN BOLT JOG 9.85 IN THE 2008 OLYMPICS SEMIFINALS AND AND THEN BROKE THE WORLD RECORD. THIS KID JUST JOGGED 9.82 IN THE HEATS! IF THIS KID LOOSES 10LBS BEFORE THE OLYMPICS.......BOY OH BOY.
I think something sub 9.8 is needed for gold. Lyles has a 9.82 PB. Seville has a 9.82. Kishane made that 9.82 look easy. I dont know about gold, but I dont see Jamaica getting left off the podium.
@@tquarrie828 That was a good run but that doesn't mean he is going to medal. I will be pleasantly surprised if he makes it to the finals at the Olympics but I doubt it. The Olympics is a far cry from the National Stadium.
@@arose9871 I see what you mean. That time is competitive, but you wonder if he can run well when the stakes are higher. I see the PTSD from Asafa has yet to fade😂
And good Sir to what and or which end do you possess knowledge of(?) You as a reactionary should seek to contest things which require your base reaction! At least contest the point on the merit America and American policy forestalls the ability to process amateur athletics in this country and certainly outside of it… Where is the 0:02 USTAF facility and what is their purpose position and policy with the fostering of public awareness regarding their sport(?) What T&F collegiate recruited athletes do you know of with NIL deals… Defense rests T & F only reaches relevance when it’s time to promote US nationalism aboard! And oh by the by prior to turning pro gifted American sprinter Abbey Steiner had run 54 competitive races within her second collegiate year at Kentucky prior to qualifying for a spot on the US Team which went to the World Championships 2 years ago… ask among your savant compatriots how many of them ran that many times to get anything if value… enjoy the games…
Most Americans know little to nothing of progressive athletics outside of what they see on set! Their naivete on full display whenever another country or nation produces world class athletes in any sporting discipline! Jamaica remains committed to it's amateur athletics-therefore; do not sleep Jamaica (Several African/European countries at these games); and should that US quartet in the 4 x100 showcase yet another egregious series of baton exchanges-they may not make podium!
@@antoniobaret7928 I don’t need a lawsuit challenge. It’s just common sense. If you look at the top 5 fastest times in the 100m they’ve all been banned for doping: Gatlin, Tyson, Asafa, Yohan etc. there’s only one athlete that hasn’t tested positive which is Usain Bolt. From a biological point of view a clean athlete can never ever compete with someone that is doping because the advantages are too much. The only reason bolt is deemed “clean” is because he came at a time where track and field was declining as a sport due to steroid scandals, they needed a golden boy of sprinting to save the sport, this was Bolt - he was liked by many due to his charisma and talent. Bolt also had the advantage of the fact he was born in Jamaica, during his time testing in Jamaica was non-existent. This is why you see the rise of sprinters like: Shelly Ann, Yohan, Asafa etc from the small island. Even if you look at the rigorous routine that these athletes do they train all year round 6hrs a day. The human body can’t handle this workload, we are not machines, we are humans that have a limit and need rest. On top of this they travel to many meets for competitions throughout the year. They have no choice but to use these compounds not to have a competitive edge, but to recover properly, remember this is their livelihood they have to put food on their table. If they can’t recover properly and quickly they can’t train as hard the following day, nor can they compete all year round. Even the other day, I was reading how Erriyon Knighton got caught using drugs You don’t have to believe me, many are naive and oblivious. It’s the truth of sports - I respect all the athletes because you need a lot of hard work + talent to become a pro, but there’s a team behind these athletes that create compounds that they’re able to use to aid this talent. But each to their own 🤷♂️
