Mondo Duplantis vs Karsten Warholm 100m | The Good, The Bad, The Future | Live Event Recap

[@motshwari]

Personally I want Rai vs Tebogo in the 400m, rematch of the relay at olympics.😂

[@modisaneunity4534]

That would be awesome man, I think Tebogo would get it

[@TheFinalLeg]

THAT is a match up we need to see!

[@Mdksupreme1]

Tebogo already owned, he'll own him again

[@trogpo]

Spot on analysis. This competition was great as an idea and in reality. Next competition: Miltiádis Tentóglou vs Quincy Hall, 60m dash. Let's not forget that Warholm injured his hamstring in this race, and running 60m instead of 100m will reduce the risk for injury.

[@freemn]

So, a race between trained 100m athletes, don't do it for you? Want don't they start picking random fans from the stand to race against the athletes - give the fan a head start.😄

[@TheFinalLeg]

Ohhhh I like Tentoglou vs Quincy over 60m! The way Quincy starts though, that might be a tough race 😬

[@kingabzthebabz8493]

Tentoglou runs a 10.98 that’s barely a sub 7 60, Quincy most definitely runs in the region of 6.7-6.8 it’s not that close

[@trogpo]

@@kingabzthebabz8493 His P.B is 10:70 (15 MAY 2021), and he doesn't do sprint conditioning training, so perhaps his 60m will be relatively better than his 100m, let's say 6:85.

[@AnneNissen-nk4mh]

I do not know who Mondo should run against in 60 meters , but as he was clocked with a max speed of 10.3 meters per second when he jumped 6.24m ,and this was with an at least 3 kilo heavy pole in his is arms, he can have a good time.

[@mssha1980]

One of the highlights of the season. I loved this! Hopefully next spring we can get Noah vs Tyreek

[@TheFinalLeg]

Hahaha I feel like that's never going to happen the way Tyreek has been moving!

[@Tbou1e]

I truly enjoyed this it showed their overall talent

[@Foundingfatherofthetrenches]

Loved that look over by mondo, and the trot after with the lil snarl on his face. #gold #greatness

[@Christian-se5si]

I think track and field needs this. I would love to see some beef between athletes and have them settle it with a 1v1 race. I think alot of people would tune in especially id there was good coverage on the stories and drama.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Good coverage and drama is absolutely necessary, and agreed, something like this is needed. Low stakes competition like this won't hurt anyone!

[@AllInTheGame01]

10.08 (+0.3) - 10.24 (+1.6) is the range for SWE's all-time Top 5 in the 100m, would be fun to see Mondo go for at least that #5 spot :) Production Values were great, but both were kept waiting too long before getting in the blocks as pointed out by Dina as Colin Jackson went on a little too long interviewing athletes in the crowd!

[@TheFinalLeg]

Good point, and I think Mondo is more than capable of 10.2 if he got a bit more training with blocks and just 100m specific training under his belt for a year or so. That's true hey had them waiting a bit, Dina really was just like let's get this going!

[@AllInTheGame01]

@@TheFinalLeg Yeah a little more training & a better tailwind than the +0.1m/s they had should see Mondo run a low 10.2s! Dina was like this is great but let's get it going pls :)

[@stuarthys9879]

The sprinting events, especially the 100m make the best spectacle in my opinion. It would be interesting to have some other famous sports figures line up. Ronaldo vs Neymar Jr or some NFL players. Also interesting would be a men vs women event, where the women compete in their best event and the men have to do one they don’t train for.

[@maxvain]

Good on these guys for actually lining up for the fun of it.

[@samueltullis806]

We would like for Nike, Puma, or Adidas to sponsor A Legends 100 meter race with Asafa Powell, Tyson Gay, Usain Bolt, Mike Rogers, Nesta Carter, Ryan Bailey Michael Frater, Kim Collins

[@TheFinalLeg]

Hahaha that would be WILD!

[@sergeshimwe6179]

I like the idea of Faith Kipyegon vs Sha’carri Richardson 🔥🔥

[@TheFinalLeg]

Hahaha yea! Could be pretty interesting!! Especially over 400 I think It could make for a good race

[@robws007]

Haha, I wrote the same thing before I saw your comment! Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ 🤣

[@retiretosomething9868]

Possible injury will probably prevent this type of event from happening very often.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Good point, athletes need to be pretty careful about their bodies especially in important parts of theirs careers. Thankfully this was after the Olympics, but I can imagine this happening early or mid season before major champs

[@rawhidewolf]

David Rudisha once challenged Usain Bolt to a 400m race. Rudisha had everything to gain and Usain had everything to lose. If you throw in some big time $$$ this may work.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Very true, that's a race that should have gone down and, though bolt likely would have won, I think it would have been great entertainment!

[@ricodane7567]

Give US Josh Kerr vs Inga vs Yagoose in a 800M‼️

[@TheFinalLeg]

That's a good one! Well be getting Josh vs Yared vs Cole in the 800 next year in grand slam track though for sure!

[@khumokwezimashapa2245]

8:45 Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who felt this way😂. Jackson is a legend for the 110mh, but man his commentary here was a bit awkward. I've heard him commentate on others normal races and he wasn't too bad there. Maybe it's because it was a different type of environment for him. This was more sorted for a wrestling or MMA announcer.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Yea I think that was it, if there was a more hype MMA or WWE announcer it would have changed the vibes. But yea like you said Jackson is a LEGEND so I don't want to make it seem like he's overall bad at what he does!

[@modisaneunity4534]

My Ninja!! Road to 100k subs!

[@TheFinalLeg]

Hahaha one day maybe. But just enjoying talking track. Appreciate you bro!💯

[@LeaBolante]

I would love to see Ernest John Obiena and Rai Benjamin in the sprints HAHAHA

[@aodoemela]

This should tell you a lot about the talent level in the 400 hurdles. The world record holder in the event runs 10.47 when in ~46.7-47.0 form. DK Metcalf ran 10.36. Warholm does block starts and 150s regularly, beaten comprehensively by Mondo who doesn't even train from the blocks.

[@TheFinalLeg]

I think Warholm just doesn't seem to have talent/ability that translates to other events, maybe in that he is hyper focused on hurdles (but then indoors he is pretty good). I'm still shocked his 400m PB is so poor compared to Rai and Dos Santos. Rai is ofcourse an exception with his 10.0 and 19.9 speed, but even Dos Santos has already run 44.5 when he was 22 years old.

[@AJT127]

There's more to talent than short sprints... Rai would smoke Karsten in the 100 and 200 10 times out of 10 and yet they run around the same times. Not every athlete (probably almost none) who runs a faster 100 than Karsten would get to his 400mH level even with years of training.

[@AJT127]

Side note stop putting that video of Noah in underwear on my TL please 😭😭😭

[@robws007]

Sha'carri vs Faith @ 400m?

[@khumokwezimashapa2245]

Irrelevant, but why does Kartsen look much taller than Mondo in the thumbnail?

[@TheFinalLeg]

😂😂 yea and it's not even like he is actually that much taller

[@derwinjohnson8174]

I tuned in to see who won?😮

[@TheFinalLeg]

Haha at the start I said this isn't a recap of the race though 😂 Mondo in 10.37 best Karsten's 10.47

[@kingkura]

Cool 😎

[@MichalBackwater]

Not obvious idea: Mondo Duplantis vs Floyd Mayweather Jr in fencing

[@kennethwoods6525]

🎵 "We don't talk about [Colin], no, no, no!"🎵 🤫

[@aodoemela]

Colin Jackson was a great commentator could not disagree more.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Really? 🤔 In the stadium, it wasn't great so not sure how he translated on the live stream. The seperate MC who was getting the crowd hype was good but Colin was just ok.

[@aodoemela]

​@@TheFinalLeg as other said the stream was seamless. My only issue was that there was only one race.

[@veerow6035]

I really liked Colin too! He had a lot of fun which made the event more entertaining and lighthearted for me. I thought he had universal appeal which made him great for an international audience. I hope to see a lot more from Colin in the DL.

[@aaronmbaye6498]

Duplantis is literally faster then florence griffon Joner by a 10th of à second lol 😅

[@RichardIILionheart]

Irrelevant. I was faster than the women over 800. That did not make me a champion or anything close to a contender.

[@wilhelmw3455]

Aka Florence Griffith Joyner.

[@aaronmbaye6498]

​@@wilhelmw3455 yeah 👌🏾

[@Mdksupreme1]

And she had an illegal a$$ wind too 😂

[@freemn]

Are you being paid to promote this spectacle? Is this stunt ultimately going to diminish or promote the sport?

[@RichardIILionheart]

For me, this was 18 minutes of nothing.

[@friedhotwings]

Good for you😊

[@CHEETAH69]

Same. I honestly don’t see the hype. What does this mean for the sport? Duplantis won but the sport lost one of the top long hurdlers for the rest of the year. A men’s 100 won in 10.3 won’t ever be exciting to me.

[@RichardIILionheart]

@@CHEETAH69 I don't mind the event being staged. But I learned nothing from this video.

[@0161scally]

🥱

[@freemn]

This was just a stunt to promote the "Mondo" brand - bad for the sport of track and field. So, a pole vaulter is the premier draw at a track meet ? - come on. The people behind this stunt could care less about real track and field competition. And this supposed "track guy" is promoting this?
