I’m still doubtful moving to the 400m is the best thing for him because he was already putting up times within .3 of being on the WC team in the 200 m. Yeah he got a couple gold medals for the relays and should get another one this year, but when you talk about how far off he is from being in the top 10 or 15 in the world, it’s more than a second back and I don’t know how you make up that kind of time at this stage in your career. Then again he could probably make a decent living just traveling Europe and competing Sub 45 second 400 m. But people forget his senior year he placed 8th in the WC qualifiers after running Kenny Bednarek to almost a tie in the semi-finals. He could have literally gone to Europe and made money the rest of the summer and all this year putting up times of 19.9 to 20.2 and placing top three in every meet. It’s just doubtful he’s ever going to beat Noah Lyles or the 2 or 3 top international runners. So good enough to compete and get paid to travel Europe, but never a world champion. I’d take that over finishing a full second behind in the 400m and hoping to make the relay team. Heck, at his speed of 9.98 to 10.15 he probably could place top three or top five in virtually every hundred meter race he would compete in on the European circuit. Josephus Lyle’s has made a career out of being a top eight runner so it’s not hard to do at that level.

If they were both in a race would you watch ?

Micheal Johnson clears Norman.

I think if Rai committed to the 400 flat he would take them both down.

Crazy!!! his coach threw him in an 800 he won it 1:50.41

He may get put in the 400m relay pool

They're more new talents much younger and run faster than MB .

He has had plenty of time. he just cant run relaxed and it will keep him out of the best performers period unless he can fix it.

lmao he had an entire NCAA career to develop, and he just got slower. Now he's getting beat by 16 year olds/

He has 2 gold world championship medals. He is doing really well imo

@@acct5910😂 Goofy, the 16 year old is beating most of the other guys as well not just Matthew Boling.

I've been saying that too. I don't know how he would do in the throwing events but the running and jumping would be no problem for him

I agree

Norman had a relatively easier semi final draw

Same thoughts.. hopefully he will handle 1st 100m with the right paces tomorrow..

Yup they come in fast at 200 meters. More like 20 to 21 though. Then the last 200 meters tend to be about 22 to 23.

The team people want is Norman, Hall, Wilson, boling. But I think the outcome will be interesting tonight.

The “mediocre” talent that ran 9.98 in high school?

u know nothing in track - go back to the kindergarden

@@Jaaaaaaaayy1 That was a wind aided 9.98 although he has run fantastic times and a great leg in Budapest.

Or maybe he just likes Matt Boling in general so he’s cheering for him? I get MB is overhyped a lot but as a whole he just seems chill and has been steadily improving over the last few years.

And what is he running now

Shut ur mouth.. he handle everything very well now..

@@ckk8776 ok let's see how he does in Paris
