18-year-old Michael Norman embarrasses Tyson Gay in the US Olympic Trials 200m round 1

A HIGH SCHOOL kid JOGS the last 60 of a 20.06! He could have been waaay under 20.
In the semis, he beat Justin Gatlin. The US Olympic Trials 200m finals have two kids that just graduated high school.
Michael Johnson II??
[QUOTE=martijn;255591]Vicaut and his coach were very surprised and disappointed by the result:
Vicaut looked flat in his semi as well, so I don’t think it was a choke ,it looks like they just didn’t get the taper right,if they were tapering for this meet.
It still wasn’t enough to knock the strut out of Spearmon lol.
This was a stacked final. The top 6 in this could have well been the top 6 in Rio. Kendra Harrison finished 6th after struggling in the semi . Stowers crashed out on the final hurdle while she was in second or third. Dawn Harper-Nelson didn’t make the final.
Great clinic on mechanics tho. Seems to have let them get away too far too long.
There will be no strut from Spearmon today. He finished 4th behind Norman in his semi.
Dix is just too heavy, but here is a nice interview from him after

I cant wait to see how the kids react when, justin, merrit and webb turn it on! THen if gay and wally playing possum. Are these kids ready to dip way under 20 after pretty much Pr’ing in each round. Will they have anything left? My gut says hell no.
That’s a good interview, thanks. He comes across as a good guy.
In that shot, he actually didn’t look much heavier to me than he did 5 years ago. Do you really think he’s as much as 15lbs overweight?
Spearmon really struggled in his semi. It looked like it was his final rep in a workout!
Anybody else noticing all the Oregon sprinters with both knees on the ground in the blocks?
I dont know Id like to know what his weight was when he was running 19.5 as compared to now
yessir, not just them, bowie does it and many others. its the bud winter rocket start. Ive been working on that start the last two weeks. I like it. lower shin angles out the blocks.

Did you think Tyson Gay looked heavier this year? (I mean he looks to have more muscle mass, not fat).
