He's STILL Unofficially the World's FASTEST Man?! || HONESTY on Kishane Thompson's FIRST 60M of 2025

[@AthleticsEditz]

1:17 I used the wind conversion calculator you used initially, and got around 6.42 as well. However that was not specifically tailored for the 60m outdoors so I found another (trustworthy) one which had it at *6.38* with no wind! VERY impressive!

[@TheWayWithKhuwayne]

A great opener for Kishane Thompson especially with the injuries he had the past couple of years. While some people are going to use this race as a fuel to predict or flat out call him the next 100m World Champion, there's a lot of time between now and September for Worlds. It's too early for that. So I wish him the best throughout the entire season and hopefully we see similar but frequent performances like this from him moving forward. The race in Kazakhstan will be intriguing.

[@wadewest8010]

A healthy Kishane is going to be trouble for other athletes. Great season opener.

[@Gtslmfa0]

I really hope we get a 9.7 low out of him. Been too long

[@audreydavis45]

World Athletics previously stated that there is no more differentiation between the outdoor and indoor 60M. They now just refer to it as short course sprinting so this time will be deemed official.

[@StriveFitinsights]

Big up up Kishane ... 2025 is your year

[@uncleben4560]

Yeah!! .. he lost some weight!!🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️❤️😊😊

[@TAM.w39]

Kishane Did very well in that Olympic finals, baring our National trials the the only other finals he had participated in were the Central Champs for high schools in Central jamaica and got injured in his ultimate Central Champs.So he was a complete rookie competing the Olympic 100m final who never made it to our National Champs finals in either sprints.

[@milli6415]

So good that he lost some weight, I was hoping that he would because when he is too bulky, it slows him down!!

[@mxRian4]

Churn it out, Coach!

[@ZebraFacts]

I ran indoor and outdoor races back when I was in high school. I really didn't like the indoor track meets. I wasn't an explosive sprinter out of the blocks. My speed would increase the further down the track I could get before the finish line. I also needed all of the normal outdoor turn and finish. Meaning that I would out run most guys outdoors but not so much indoors. My point is that I don't think you can really judge the fastest man or woman shorter than the 200 mt event. Me being just under 5'6". I was always surprised to see a big man not only keep up with me but to out run most normal sized guys. Thompson looks like a big guy next to all the other runners. It's amazing to see a big guy run that fast. We were told and believed that size matters when you are a runner. Big guys usually don't do well in running sports. I'm reminded of Bo Jackson. Not only was his finishing times amazing. It was amazing just to see such a big guy shoot out of the blocks the way he did and to build on that speed through out the race. Drugs or no drugs.

A lot of people don't know that Kishane had a hamstring injury after the semi final at the Olympics. They had to work on him getting ready for the final. Had he been healthy, the results would have been totally different.

@wadewest8010 Yes it was tightens up on him and the physiotherapist went to work on it all that time up until the final…

Excuses. Excuses. Lyles had covid, which affects breathing. He got beat.

I believe this 60m will count from World Athletics POV. This meet is listed on the WA calendar and they already have some outdoor 60ms listed on all time top lists.

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@kc5466That’s crazy. I get no races being ABOVE +2.0m/s not counting, but there’s literally no reason NOT to include races that are BELOW -2.0m/s?! I mean, it’s not like they’re gaining anything from the headwind, are they?!

[@ricowillow2281]

​@kc5466, what the hell are you talking about? You know nothing, so stop spilling garbage information. It doesn't count only when it's over the allowed limit of a tailwind of +2.0 m/s, not a headwind of under -2.0 m/s. Do your research before you spill false and misinformed information

[@jusbusff9306]

@AthleticsEditzexactly, what the point, they gain nothing

Kishane is incredibly talented, but there’s something about the way he runs that bothers me. He just doesn’t look as “pretty” as some others. Speed is speed though so I respect it, he’s a world champion in waiting

Yeah he runs kinda 'hunched over' when you'd expect him to 'stand tall' with his shoulders back to fully open up his stride.

[@cosmicwisdom999]

I kind of think Gatlin runs similar also

Can you define for us exactly what makes a winner? - first to reach the line? computer/camera - which line? where in, or on which side of the line? - which is it country, venue, IOC, or International rule? - why do we never see track line and chest line simultaneously? - Ottey and Deevers, ShaCarrie and ET-H , Lyes and Thompson, see a pattern here? Now coach, make yourself indispensable, what are the rules, make us believe Lyles, in reality won that race legally.

Counts for nothing until big events take place he did 9.73 before the Olympics and in the finals he did 9.83 seconds to take second place.

[@raquelcarter3350]

Are you that dense lol he did 9.79

[@Magnusfication]

"Unofficially the world fastest" no Kishane is actually the official fastest man in the world of 2024. The fact that the media appoint the Olympic or WC 100m winner with this unofficial title doesnt matter. The official title is Olympic Champion and World Champion. Also calling anyone other than Kishane the fastest man of 2024 is just factually wrong. This takes absolutely nothing away from Noah. He was the fastest on the biggest stage when it mattered most. But he wasnt the worlds fastest man of that year.

[@Yes_I_c4n]

Facts. Track fans, though... dumber than monkeys more often than not.

[@ronester1]

sorry good try but outdoors doesnt translate to indoors he wouldve problably been at 6.5 indoors, alot more to consider than just wind

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@ronester1 Wrong; a lot of athletes whilst peaked run the same 60m splits roughly indoors as they do outdoors (whilst peaked). Lyles is a very good example of this (6.43 indoor 60m PB, 6.43 best 0-60m split outdoors in a 100m race). I guarantee you Kishane would’ve run faster than 6.48 if that race were indoors. The -2.1m/s headwind says it all, idc what you say.

[@Someone-hi1nt]

a 6.48 with -2.1 wind, even considering all the other factors, would NOT get slower indoors... maybe not a 6.3, but definitely still in the 6.4s and probably low

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@Someone-hi1nt Yep

[@spider-man1918]

Stop making excuses. With a good start, Lyles runs a 9.70 low.

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@spider-man1918 Lyles meat-rider spotted in its natural habitat. Yes, Noah - given the best reaction time possible and the PERFECT race in every way - CAN run 9.72/9.73 however I see that very unlikely to happen. He’s been stuck as a low 9.8 guy for YEARS and is only improving his PB by a couple of 0.01s each year (still impressive, though). He can’t seem to get CLOSE to a 6.40 0-60m split (6.43 being his best) and he’s limited to about a 3.35-ish 60-100m. So that’s a 9.75 at BEST. You need to be realistic, mate.

[@Someone-hi1nt]

i could maybe see a 6.39 + 3.34 or so for lyles in the best possible conditions, but even thats pushing it... we haven't seen that much of kishane in championship environments but its very clear that if he stays healthy, he'll be in low 9.7 if not 9.6 shape later in the season

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@Someone-hi1nt I think 6.39+3.34 is pushing it to its limits. Lyles hasn’t even split 6.42 yet let alone 6.40 or less. He has split 3.35-ish before and Total Running Productions said he split 3.34 in the London Diamond League but idk about that. No chance of 9.6 though.

[@Someone-hi1nt]

@AthleticsEditz i agree, thats why i said that even that was pushing it, but the only reason i think he has a remote chance at a 6.39 split is because he split 6.44 with a 0.178 reaction time in paris... again, dont think its likely but its possible

[@AthleticsEditz]

@@Someone-hi1nt Yeah that 9.79 was a 9.75-ish with a standard reaction time and that’s probably the only part of the race he ‘messed up’ in Paris (same with Kishane, although he didn’t run the rest of his race well on top of that). I think Lyles possibly has a couple of 0.01’s in him realistically because the chances of having his perfect race in every way is quite low but at the end of the day we don’t know what’s going to happen and can only speculate lol.
