Men's 100m (semi's and final) - 1992 United States Olympic Trials

[@malligrub]

Commentator: "OJ, you were a football player/sprinter @ college..." OJ: "Don't forget movie star, hahahaha" Little did they know double murderer and armed robber would soon be added to his CV/rap. He also kept prattling on about "Carl Lewis being able to accelerate away from 70 metres unlike anybody else." Nobody's accelerating after 75m, they're either maintaining max speed for a few more metres or decelerating slightly less than their opponents. Should know this if he's on national TV as an expert commentator.

[@michaelhorton360]

Your knowledge of the breakdown of the 100m is absolutely correct. Reassuring to read knowledgeable analysis.

[@BreuckelensFinest]

These commentators forgot to mention James Trapp as a football player. He played for Clemson & was drafted by the Raiders & had a very good career as a defensive corner back! That's weird that they missed this. OJ was slipping! Hahaha

[@brandonbrown1916]

They mention Trapp at 12:57

[@octopusmagnificens]

Lewis not qualifying was a shock, a disappointment to me.

[@APBCTechnique]

Gort Baringa I agree deficient in amino acids and B12 for an athlete bad news. His Muscles not popping out like before

[@bafa7353]

Lewis said he had a virus at the Trials.

[@gothops2632]

Jim, do you have the video of the heats? I'd love to see Andre Cason's heat, which I remember was blistering!

[@phoebus]

Was the "Juice" on the juice?

[@meisterlymanu5214]

a devastating moment for Lewis. You could tell he was putting on a brave face in the interview. He would have been in tears in private. He always believed Christie was on drugs, and that he was faster than Burrell. But he was never the same again, he peaked in 91.

[@octopusmagnificens]

Tokyo 1991 was his last legal 100m under 10 seconds. However, he was capable of running 9.94 (+2.1) in 1996, beating Donovan Bailey.

[@brandonbrown1916]

@@octopusmagnificens Lewis is one of the best to ever do it. He was rly the first sprinter to be a celebrity of sorts. But, he wasn't gonna do any damage in the 100m in 1996.

[@brandonbrown1916]

OJ was actually great at this job.

[@jeanlucgomez1603]

Hello, Jim, do you have the video of the final of the 400m of the 1992 United States Olympic Trials please? Thank You.

[@jimmuchmore5854]

I’m not sure. I’ll upload it if I find it.

[@Chrisman77]

wonder if the juice would go back to this day...and do anything different going forward?

[@michaelhorton360]

The analysis of the race by Mr Simpson is poor. He refers to Carl Lewis ability to accelerate at 70 metres which is a physical impossibility. Mr Lewis simply had the ability to slow down the least which gives the false impression of acceleration.

[@HometownChessHero]

Actually Carl Lewis was one of the few athletes who could accelerate at the end of 100 meters, I believe it was proven

[@reginaldhampton3451]

No, it wasn't. ​@@HometownChessHero

[@reginaldhampton3451]

Stop acting like you're saying something new.

[@phoebus]

It's a not physical impossibility to accelerate after 70 meters. I do it all the time in training, you just run about 90% until the last 30 meters.

[@croplaya]

My boy James Jett lost! All those false starts! That first start would've been all him

[@peters6119]

But they still let Lewis run anchor in the relay in Barcelona and they set the WR. Maybe the WR would have been faster with one of these other guys who beat Lewis here.

[@annmarieclarke9107]

Nope, relay running is of a different mentality, did you know that Ben Johnson wasnt good anchor man, I dont know what she would of done lately but certainly Shelly Ann Fraser didnt gave jamaica any advantage when she did the starting duties for the j'can team. She even admitted that she wasnt a great relay runner back then.

[@daniellim366]

Of course Lewis is the safest bet for anchor man

[@timn4481]

@@annmarieclarke9107 BJ wasnt a good anchor man?!. lol. where are you getting your info from exactly?.. the reason carl was anchor was that he has a good top speed and does a fast double too. Peter S is absolutely correct though. someone who beat Carl here wouldve been faster than him on whatever leg he runs.

[@distanceman8147]

@@timn4481 hear ye hear ye...USA has shown up with the fastest individual times quite often and still lost. I still don't like the fact that someone was snubbed. I don't remember any injuries reported. Memorable race however someone else should have had that privilege!

[@distanceman8147]

@@timn4481 BJ probably wouldn't be my pick to anchor the Canadian team. He damn sure could be the lead off! Incredible start. Ie why would you have Christian Coleman run anchor? Clearly the best strater in the world should not be running anchor.

[@tytiger7176]

When OJ was still the juice! Before he lost his mind over a Snow Bunny !!

[@szymon6207]

11:15 nice multi shot time and clean start get WR IS 9.74 SEC. WHAT A PROBLEM ?

[@Chrisman77]

Wow... No oj comments here. Ok I'll be the icebreaker. The fucking juice, yo.

[@shalashaska5851]

Crazy that Tom Hammond ended up killing his wife. Wild.

[@harryangel4822]

Hey look one of the commentators on this show just so happens to be a black man who also was a horrific murderer who hacked up a woman and an innocent man and then got away with it Right here in America 🇺🇸

[@markusgp]

Carl went Vegan the year before....

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

I see they have the murderer up there talking today.

Yes, I do. However, that tape has not yet been digitized. I'll post it eventually.
