Rai was born in the Bronx and is very much a US citizen. The issue is he competed for Antigua & Barbuda national team (where his parents are from) while he was in HS. Again, Rai is a US citizen just like his other 3 teammates. He plans on running for USA track & filed when he turns pro. It is nothing more than a 'paperwork' issue...and kinda silly really. USC are the World Record Holders! :)

Texas A&M has the world record right now

See the above comment by Shinnick for clarification--USC has the record!

@@adamshinnick5740 yeah he deadass ran in the New York State meets in high school

Well his own fault for choosing that nationality to run for, I'm half Welsh and if I decided to run for Wales I know I'll never be able to run for England so my choice

VroBro crazy depth and also have athletes from other countries.

yeah he did

I think it was more of a “I can’t believe it” laugh

Darth A no, not quite. I think they ran low 3:02 there though.

Witter Fitness collegiate athletes, im they are

Witter Fitness i mean... It doesn't matter too much, there have been a lot of people that passed all their tests but turned out to use doping or steroids. Of course i don't know if they are clean, but you never know, you know?

Tested for greatness

@@ishf1772 Yeah right

...what are you trying to say? You can't just have allstar teams like that for a global championships because it would defeat the purpose of having a championships, the same team of the same 4 people would consistently dominate. That's why you have to compete for your own country. The only exception is college where multipl athletes from various countries can compete with each other on the same team because they study at the same school. The point isn't to see the fastest time possible. The point is to have good competition. That was the entire point of the creation of the sport in Greece was for competition.

@@kennethcoleman1378 well duh of course you can’t have that, that would be dumb. i was more so saying just try to run a 4x100 once to see how fast we could possibly run right now. competition is much better than trying to see the fastest time possible but i think it’d also be cool to see the top runners in their respective distances try a time trial or something of the sort. but i do agree with your statements that it would ruin competition if you put that into competitions like the olympics or world championships

@@BenDoesSomeStuff It would also be pointless because the time wouldn't count. they tried it back in the 90's with an allstar 4x1 with Lewis, Fredrick's, and Bailey but the time wasn't that fast. The best bet would be to have it done at the Continental cup where Europe, Asia/Oceana, the Americas, and Africa compete as continents against each other but the issue is that the meet happens too close to other global champoinships so you rarely get the best from each continent truly competing there. You some top stars but not the fastest in the world. If we could manage that, then you would have had Bolt, Gatlin, Coleman, and DeGrasse on a relay. You would have Felix, Bowie, Elaine, and Shelly-Anne on a relay. You would see how fast Norman, Kerley, Benjamin, Steven Gardiner could run in the 4x4 or how fast Felix, Miller Uibo, Franics, and Shericka Jackson can run, But the IAAF and has to do a better job of promoting that level of excitement in athletics and they need to allow for world records to be broken in certain circumstances. For example if they make an amendment to the rules that states world records broken by relays comprised of athletes that do not come from the same country will only stand IF A. They are broken by a collegiate team (because at that rate it is a school and you cannot control who decides to attend your school and/if/when they break a record) or B. It is broken at select major meets (i.e. the continental cup) I think that would give more countries and athletes the incentive to compete more regularly at certain meets and that will also cause faster times and draw more interest for the sport.
