          I never would have thought Carter could take out Spearmon by THAT much.

          Carter is just a freak enough said.  If he didn't run like a robot he'd probably be a lot faster too

          I cringe whenever I see him run, but his form is apparently working for him. I can't wait until Thor gets the video up, it was amazing. I found out you could watch it live on the internet about an hour ago and just caught the 200.

          Liu Xiang takes sole possession of the 110mhH with a 12.88, with Dominique Arnold running 12.90, and Terrence Trammell at 13.02!

          With all those blazing 200m times, (19.60 :o) I wonder why nobody broke 10 in the 100m?

          With that time and what will likely be a PR in the 400m on Friday, X is having the most dominant 3-event sprint season ever. His season in any given event would be amazing but the fact that he is doing what he is doing in all three events in the same season is absolutely amazing.

          Kid is rediculous!
          I have been watching him since his freshman year of high school he ran 46.90 AS A FRESHMAN!
          Senior year after coming off the football season in his second track meet indoors he run 20.69 to break the 200 meter record buy almost a half second. I was there to see that one!
          If he is recovered for that 400 I say he goes somewhere around 44.20.
          Imagine he breaks 44 and beats Wariner.

          I'm gonna bet on a sub-44. I don't know if he'll beat JW but he should be right there.

          43.7 For Warnier 43.9 for X Can we say?
          I would like to see X go for the 300 record!

          What can he come through 300 en Route?

          I agree!  I think spearmon, X and wariner in the 300 would be crazy…possible 30.????

          I don't think either of those guys could hang with X over 300m. He's beat Spearmon over 200m and he's a better 400m runner than him…..which gives no indication that Spearmon could hang with him over the longer distance. Wariner's speed isn't anywhere close to X's and physiologically the 300m is closer to the 200m than it is to the 400m (where JW likely has a small edge over X)….so I wouldn't think JW could hang either.

          Do you think that Tyson Gay would give him more of a run than Wariner?  I also agree that X would beat both of them.

          Mike Young on July 14, 2006 at 9:54 am #55152

          I think the only man that would give him a run over 300m (and beat him in all likelihood) would be MJ circa 1995-97. With his performances this year, he has stamped himself as the second fastest 200-400 doubler of all time. X's dropoff from Wariner's 400m PR is less than Wariner's dropoff from X's 200m PR. That is especially startling when you consider that Carter's 400m PR came after running a ton of races.

          yeah, this season has been nothing short of amazing for X, and he played football in the fall.  DO you think not playing next year will lead to even bigger things, eventually MJ's 200 record?
