[@DetectiveConaN3]

[@Preserbius]

Between Merritt, Kirani James, Jeremy Wariner, and Oscar Pistorius the 400 at London is gonna be crazy.

[@moonever]

[@devidia]

how such unstraight feet can run so fast

[@rajiv005]

Wariner did not qualify for the individual 400m. But he did make the relay team.

[@SnipingWithBully]

ye sorry x) was a typo, still pretty damn young :D

[@clins05]

because angelo runs alot of 400m than 400m hurdles as well as he as in the previous 2 world championship(2007,2009)...so thats probably why...btw, tayor is pretty quick in the 400m...his pb is 44.03 :)

[@theItalianshamrock]

I wish my legs were as long as this guys lol

[@vankai06]

Im not.. and i feel like crying

[@1337inzock]

he is born in 92, so he was turning or had just turned 19.

[@rosamondmdopwell]

Every time I watch this I get Goose Pimples. NOTE AS WELL Rondell Bartholomew ... another Grenadian (The Two pushed each other in our intercollegiate games (Intercoll) making each other better in the process. Kirani is a GBSS Old Boy -Past Pupil - Rondell McDonald College. As they come into the Straight ... Rondell on the INSIDE - is right there with them! (Perhaps an UMPH ~~ AHEAD of Kirani)

[@drinkmyjelly]

Whys the commentator talking about Angelo Taylor? He's not even in this race!

[@chenpod123]

If i was a Borlee, and my brother won a medal, then i would knock him out and recieve the medal on his behalf

[@MrKarlozz]

That is incorrect he is born in 1992. BUt otherwise I agree :)

[@gotohellpunk]

He has funny form

[@daniella921]

Gosh nowadays that time would be 4th place

[@SwaggerChiick1]

loooll

[@sokha326]

Wariner won't medal and Pistorius won't qualify. It'll be between Merritt, James and Santos from the D.Republic.

[@marcellemcdonald7762]

😮 Great prediction 👏 👍 12 yrs ago 😊

[@chenpod123]

because you ruined the surprise!
