Michael Johnson and Mark Lewis Francis chat

[@geminusdjs6920]

Mark is a stand up guy humble as they come I know him we’ll see him everyday

[@HaiderAli-b8e3c]

I work with him he works in bca

[@Max0077]

In 1990, Johnson graduated from Baylor University, and left with a bachelor’s degree in Business Studies.

[@stephenhughes1862]

Interesting interview. We all take so many things for granted, and only when they are taken from us do we appreciate them

[@EdMoses84]

I met MLF and Marlon Devonish after a Diamond League meeting in Zurich in Sep 2011. 2 great guys who have served GB well down the years who were happy to talk athletics with me (which was great)

[@SearchBucket2]

There couldn't be a bigger difference between these two men.

[@zakzanotti5868]

100% but I would say Mark dosen’t get the respect he deserves he held of Green to win us a gold medal.

[@MrBeat7]

This is not about times or speed, its all about Francis being more realistic about himself and not talking himself up to be somebody he's not....which is johnsons point.

[@jerivornwoods9576]

he is not cocky..this is what he works for..people talk all kinda ting to bring u down..but people never c the work of an athlete behind the scn

[@titteryenot4524]

‘He is not cocky’?! Yeah, right, and Ortis Deley is a smooth, competent athletics presenter.

[@pooledogg775]

Talent isn't enough without work ethic.

[@titteryenot4524]

Tell that to the young George Best.

[@Solomon_Bachelor]

MLF looks like a naughty school kid in this interview.

[@ABLQuality]

😂😂

[@azertu2u2]

I think when he spoke after the race he was so happy and spoke some crap and the shhh remark was kind of ' let me enjoy this moment'

[@Mikeypee67]

Chambers is more popular than he is as I completely forgot about him, no disrespect but he's done so little for GB.

[@TheDangerbreed]

If the guy would have trained with some of the better sprinters out there, he might have achieved some real success. He refused to do so, and suffered for it sadly as far as his track career

[@kboy128]

Actually the opposite tbh

[@gezzarandom]

10.18 will not get you into a world championship final, let alone win a medal, the winner of this race only came fourth in the world championships.

[@Multi918273645]

mark is a nice guy i take a photo with him

[@kevinprior3549]

Interesting people criticise MLF about his individual performances and rightly so. But he is still an Olympic gold medalist....2004 Olympic 4×100 m relay

[@rowland5951]

By the skin of his teeth 😅 he got that gold.

[@Mutumbo000]

Most definitely

[@emmajones6378]

good job he could run......bin job here we come.

[@keepingitreal.544]

Underachiever v Legend

[@TheyBastardisedJesus]

Wasnt MJ trash talking MLF moments before this when MLF was still on the track and went "SSSHHHH" to his criticis (MJ)

[@isaz597]

MLF just doesn't get it!

[@MrBeat7]

3:55 Johnsons stare rules.

[@kevinprior3549]

Francis aim was to come fourth? Taking silver was a dream come true...really? His attitude was poor.

[@roggy12345]

he doped too

[@Solomon_Bachelor]

mark should embrace michael a little more and get more lessons. There is many people out there that can help mark run sub 10. Gatlin, johnson and others have tried to reach out to him.

[@logitech2010100]

Gatlin would pop some pills for him. You get me

[@mapleleafer74]

HAH BEATEN BY THE BEST!

[@Max0077]

Michel J is University Educated

[@CycloneRecords113]

He could've been so much better but he met weight lifting

[@MrDaveyboy22]

should have took on the critique positively

[@kgraamd]

IF MARK IS SERIOUS ABOUT TRACK HE NEEDS TO LOOSE AT LEAST 20LBS

[@PeacefulBrit]

Michael Johnson is a class act and super educated. An outstanding athlete and man. MLF isn't intelligent enough to understand

[@carlosdasilva4236]

Mark Lewis has to learn how to speak looking in the eyes.

[@titteryenot4524]

Actually, psychologists will tell you that, often, it’s those with something to hide who intently hold your gaze when speaking. Think just about every politician you care to name.

[@teddidouglas3492]

IKR?

[@Max0077]

Of course he is University educated google him

[@eagleeyejerry]

I think MLF is the biggest waste of talent in the last decade of British athletics. Too much show boating and bullshit street-talk and not enough hard work and dedication to his sport. Massive shame, as I really rated this guy as a kid.

[@tomjpr]

He was spouting bullshit.

[@tyrant1505]

HA!!! Trained by a druggie/luvvie (who's championed by the media) yet the same people smash on Charlie Francis, Ben Johnson and Dwain Chambers, total tosh! MJ, can listen to you all day, a REAL champion!

[@annonymous3948]

Aright bout naw

[@gusim123]

This guy is too cocky. Silver medal in Europeans is a joke. Talking like he's world champion. Achieved nothing of note in the 100. He can't compete with the greats.

[@john50beach18]

Yeah comes across as a bit of a joke. Much faster than the average man but clearly not a great

[@viraatkumar8980]

let me guess...you can??..this guy is not being cocky... sprinting is a very hard sport and this guys start and drive phase was perfect....he would have to work on his speed but otherwise....he is a very strong sprinter

[@TheCreapy]

So many olympic medalists here so you can shit on European champions. Get your ass on the track and measure your 100 then try to qualify for european championship if you succeed then you can shit on it if you want to. I don't comment very often but I felt like I have to now :D. Mark Lewis and Michael Johnson both great sprinters

[@TheIkaraCult]

certainly not in the individuals but that last leg in the 4X100 in Athens was epic

[@sparklife3937]

@@TheIkaraCult True!

[@PeacefulBrit]

MLF is overrated.

[@banareshussain2185]

Well said Mark Lewis Francis this clown Michael Johnson is a complete muppet
