Is this individual an athlete or something else...

Benjamin King2 said:I still find it hard to understand those runners with that powerful finishing kick who just slow the pace down too much. The Kenyans don't make sense to me... both can easily clock a 3:30, yet they lack any real chance in a fast sprint finish and then just run so aimlessly... 😕

Do you honestly believe that only Kenyans would be capable of breaking the 3:30 barrier... 😕In races like these, the pace is set from the start. If the Kenyans decide to push the tempo, even the elite runners would struggle to keep up...

Go ahead then, name a few...

steelmaker said:Congratulations to Blanka Vlašić. Her marks of 195 and today's 202 are her best jumps of the season, well above the bar. When she competes on the world stage, she simply needs to stop thinking about the 210 mark and focus on hitting 202. Then, the record will fall...

That logic is flawed... You know exactly what it takes to break a world record. It is like a basketball player shooting a three-pointer; if they just imagined they were shooting a free throw, they would make it every time 🤣..

Scott Cruz73 said:Just as I have my doubts regarding the consistency of the late Florence Griffith Joyner's records, I find myself skeptical of Bolt's recent performances. There is a prevailing sentiment that breaking the ten-second barrier is impossible without performance-enhancing drugs. These specific times seem unnaturally fast...

🤦 🤣
This is easily the most absurd thing I've heard lately... I haven't laughed this hard on this forum since someone claimed LeBron James was an untalented hack...🙏
