We should've been well into the Michael Norman era of quarter miling right now, especially after Wayde Van Niekerk decided to play Rugby and ruin his career in 2017.

It's sad to see really, as on his best day Norman could probably run a 43.1 and get dangerously close to breaking the WR. Truly one of the biggest tragedies in track history. Praying Norman can pull it together and redeem himself at next World's. He's way too good to be performing this way 🙏🏿
