[@brit7522]

You're a good track commentator and are objective about it. Noah is really a 200 meter runner so I think a strong 400 is definitely a possibility for him especially if he commits to training. It's amazing he trained to get the 100 down. I wish Noah the best and like his confidence and openness. From an American perspective, he seems good for a sport that mostly isn't even televised. For other countries where track is actually popular, they may consider him too much, but "too much" works in the USA and may even be necessary.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Appreciate you. I agree a strong 400m is very possible considering what he has done at 200m. And like he said, 100% committed to training for multiple years. I think Noah will get hate and get love, but its just the nature of his position. Like him or not he is showing up and performing on the track.

[@watsonkambiambia180]

Letsile Tebogo trains with the Bayopo Ndoris and other 400m runners. Letsile has a chance to chase the world records in the 200 and 400 but for Noah, maybe if he started training for it in his early 20s for now I don't think he will be able to go sub 44. Even for the 200, Letsile is now the man to beat . Noah has had an incredible run and still is, but Tebogo has now landed as projected and will keep getting better

[@TheFinalLeg]

Great point that Tebogo trains with Ndori and I think Pesela, and obviously he has been running the 400/4x4 this year so has a better shat at the records compared to Noah. Noah does train with Jereem and Wayde, but yea its different since Noah isn't running 400s now. But anything can happen, maybe not world record, but wouldn't put sub 44 past Noah if he dedicated his time and training to it!

[@tychmcswain8643]

Perfectly said

[@AllInTheGame01]

Saying he could break the 400m WR cos of his 19.31 200m PB cos Jereem ran a 43.78 PB with a 19.80 PB might just be the DUMBEST thing Noah has ever said given that WvN with a 19.84 PB damn near ran 42s with his 43.03 WR compared to MJ's 43.18 WR with his 19.32 PB! The last 100m in a 400m is different, not everyone handles it the same! Will bet good money that if Josephus ever finally commits to it, he'll run a faster 400m than Noah! Far more examples of guys with 19.7 - 20.5 PBs running the fastest ever 400s than guys with sub 19.7s PBs who have.

[@khumokwezimashapa2245]

Not even. Wayde's pr was 19.98 the year he ran that WR and that 19.98 was run in 2015. Wayde's SB was 20.10 going into Rio

We’ll never know. Conditions were right for a potential sub 19.4. I think it would have been closer than people are saying. Didn’t Lyles run 19.47 last year ahead of Tebogo’s fast closing 19.5? Healthy Lyles vs Olympic champion Tebogo is the race I’m itching to see though. That’ll be exciting to watch.

[@TheWayWithKhuwayne]

It's hard to say because Noah's track record against Tebogo before the Olympic 200m races was 100%. Noah won every occasion against Tebogo in the 100m and 200m so it's not certain what the outcome would have been if Noah was completely healthy. But I truly believe a Healthy Noah would not be running a 19.70 in the final as example of the past two 200m World Championships finals he's performed at.

[@kibafreemanart]

@@TheWayWithKhuwayne and Lyles ran 19.5 like a month before at Olympic trials. It’s truly unfortunate.

[@TheWayWithKhuwayne]

@kibafreemanart Exactly, I definitely believe he could have ran a sub 19.5 considering the high he had from the 100m. But I don't think this is the end for Noah. I believe Noah is going to be winning more medals in the 200m and may get closer to breaking his pb. I just hope no Covid or flu or injuries get struck on him at the worst time. As an throws athlete myself, it's the worst thing you could have before a competition.

[@aodoemela]

3:26 Why does Noah Lie so much? He has never run a 44 split in a 4x4. He makes up times like a 14 year old its quite bizarre. He said he ran 12.5m/s in training which we know from the source (ralph mann) is not true.

[@jacobdoyle420]

Your name is funny because you're the opposite of random, all you do all day is whine about Lyles. Find an athlete to cheer for or stop watching bud.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Yea never got a 44 second split. I had to look up his relay splits, and its possible he did have one in high school I couldn't find, but since going pro he's only run the 3 4x4 races I noted. But I wont fault him for saying he ran a 44 split just going off the top from memory. Cant bash him bro its just a comment in the middle of the conversation

[@afamobi93]

​@@TheFinalLeg I assumed it was a training split. Maybe they do mock 4x400s in their camp

[@XDF745]

He lies so much because it gives him and his sponsors the attention they desire.

[@RichardIILionheart]

Fast 100/200 runners can often run a pretty respectable 400. But there is a vast difference between being respectable and approaching the WR.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Agree here. The 400m world record essentially means your approaching 42 seconds. But something in the range of 44-43 high is realistic after a few years of dedicated 400m training

[@Elliottklassen]

This is as outrageous as Tyreek saying he can beat Noah in a race. Both athletes who are arrogant to the point of delusion claiming they could do things in a different sport/event better than anybody else in the world. Noah ran the slowest split on that world indoor 4x400, and has never run a competitive 400m time.

[@TheWayWithKhuwayne]

Noah ran the third fastest leg in the Indoor 4x4. I believe the first runner was the slowest but not much.

[@stevemann1299]

Listen if I remember rightly. They had Lyles 5/2 to win the 100m in the Olympic final. And said he would never break 9.7 and he did both. Never count him out.

[@Elliottklassen]

@@TheWayWithKhuwayneThird fastest is also known as the second slowest out of four. Also, the first athlete was slightly slower, but coming out of the blocks, undoubtedly more impressive.

[@Elliottklassen]

@@stevemann1299I never really had any doubt that Lyles would run 9.7. My prediction was that he’d run a high 9.7 and lose to Kishane running mid 9.7. Of course I was wrong and he still won. But running the 400m world record? He can’t even get the world record in his primary events, let alone an event completely out of his wheelhouse.

[@stevemann1299]

@@Elliottklassen Here's what Lyles is about. Of course he is never gonna break 9.58 and 19.19. But by not putting a limit on himself he might do better than he otherwise would. So he has the 3rd fastest time ever in the 200m. And he is currently 14th or 15th alltime in the 100m. He could bring that down to 9.75 on his best day and get into the top 10. It's all part of how he drives himself to do what he does. After the first two rounds in the Olympics everyone had their money on Thompson and Seville. And look what happened. This is why I say don't count him out. Would he break 43.03? No he wouldn't. But he might get MJs American record of 43.18. If he truly dedicated himself to it remember Johnson didn't set that record until he was nearly 32. And Lyles is 27. So do not count him out on anything. His best is still to come.

[@derwinjohnson8174]

I'm super excited about Noah and Tebogo moving forward over the next 2 to 4 years. Noah is slim built like Tebogo, which with training should transfer well into longer sprints with practice.

[@jedaiahisrael5882]

Yes they will push each other, but the field is stacked

[@TheFinalLeg]

Agreed, should be exciting to see them both attempt the 400m at some point, even if its just a few one off races the next 2 years!

[@TheWayWithKhuwayne]

When it comes to Noah Lyles or any other athlete, I always say Never Say Never. A lot of people doubted Noah's 100m potential. Some people thought he couldn't win at Worlds last year and he did. Some people thought he couldn't be on the podium in the 100m Olympic Final but he did. Some people thought Noah could never run 9.7 but he did. Noah, as a runner, is one of those athletes you can never write off because they always have something to back up. I'm very certain if he wanted to, he could run some great 400m times. In terms of the 400m World Record, its possible because he's healthy, consistent in his development as a late bloomer, his pbs in the 100m and 200m make it reachable, and his overall training allows him to get stronger and faster as the season progresses. I would say he could go something like a 42.95 if he trained 100% as a prediction.

[@fender1000100]

Nobodies running 42.95. But he could definately run an alltime top 5 time. Under 43.3. If he dedicates himself to it.

[@TheWayWithKhuwayne]

@@fender1000100 So you don't think no one is breaking the 400m WR? Interesting...

[@gazzelle4]

I always tell people that the 400m is a business decision made after you hit the 200m mark! Michael Johnson was a 400m specialist and he didn't break the WR until 2001 (?). It's not an easy race. You have to distribute your speed endurance across the entire distance. The last 3 WR holders in the event count finish well, and that's necessary.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Yea MJ broke the record in 1999 after running the event full time since about 1992/1993 I think (he was mainly a 200m guy before then). But your right, its not an easy race at all.

Yall crazy Noah’s 47 was ran almost 10 years ago. He used to be known for his 400 with Mike . He’s not really a 100m runner he just adjusted. 200/400 double is more likely to happen for him

[@veerow6035]

The second coming of Bolt has arrived. Unfortunately, Noah's window for setting WR's has closed with the arrival of Letsile Tebogo. Letsile will be the one to break Bolt's 200m WR if anyone can. Even if Noah focused on the 200 WR when his window was open instead of doubling, Tebogo would probably break it anyway. The 400m WR will pass from van Niekerk to another young African man (Samukonga or Tebogo).

I think your right that we agree he could run 45 now based on his older 400m PB and what he has done since then in the sprints. But then what if he trains 100% in the 400m for a few years, like 2025-2027, what do you think he could reach then?

Exactly, which I think is getting lost here. He said give his 100% and train for a few years. Not that he would run a one off race next year and run fast.

[@Neofolis]

It's really impossible to predict with the information we have so far how much he could improve. The only things we know at the moment that would help us make a preiction are his 45 relay splits without dedicated 400 training and the fact that he is able to maintain his top speed really well in the 200. His speed maintenance is the really positive thing from a 400 perspective and with dedicated 400 training that speed endurance should increase dramatically to help lower his 400 times. The problem is that everyone is individual and their response to different training stimuli is equally individual. If Noah responds really well to that training, then he could definitely break the world record, if he doesn't, he may struggle to get much below 45 seconds.

[@dwightlove3704]

The thing is that Noah is not what I would call a 100m guy. He is more of a 200 and 400 guy who is messing around in the 100. I think he has wasted quality time in the 100 when he should have been moving up to the 400... reaching 43 is going to take some gutts cause that race is no joke for a sprinter.

[@TheWayWithKhuwayne]

Winning a World & Olympic title in the 100m with new PBs of 9.83 & 9.79 is wasted quality time? That's quite a bold statement, I genuinely believe he made a good call going to the 100m & 60m as a way to improve his overall speed running. With the way how the world is now with technology, nutrition and footwear, Lyles is going to be in the game a lot longer than people make it out to be especially with how injury free he is yearly.

I think, rather than Lyles it could be Tebogo who's gonna be the next star of the 400m in case of more dedication to that distance. He seems to see the 400 just like two 200m races in a row. His 4x400m performance in Paris shows that he has quantities of endurance and the power to maintain a constant speed over the full distance. He even got faster on the final 50 meters which is rather uncommon for 100/200 specialists running a 400.

Lyles should try to improve his 100m and focus on the 200m and stick to those two. He is not going to even get podium level without 2 to 3 years of dedicated training for the 400m and by then he'll be close to 30. He would be extremely lucky to do a low 44 and that would be it.

😂😂😂😂😂 Wayde's 400m WR is safe, Noah has a certain level of delusion in him... His officially given up on the 200m WR... Stop listening to Noah

[@NelleBligh333]

Lyles is 27 now, put him in training for 2 or 3 years for the 400m he's going to be nearly 30 by the time he has the times down. He's already past his peak as a sprinter in terms of his age now. I think he's better off sticking to what he does best and getting as many endorsements as he can because the next few years will be his last, especially if he is injured which is also more likely to occur as he ages. He's never going to be the best 400m runner out there so why would he do that? He's no Sifan Hassan wanting to challenge himself. At best he'll make himself irrelevant.

[@k.o6157]

Noah gonna run that 400m because He sees Tebogo running it and getting attention...Lyles like ATTENTION...

[@aureliofeldman2294]

Dude, that´s what he does now, he talks! Before worlds, last year, he was a double world champion at the 200 and nobody outside the sport knew about him. So, he went to the 100, because it is the race that regular people care about and after he won he talked about the NBA. After that, a lot of people that never knew him started to know about him, for good or bad, because most of the people did not like the way that he acted in that press conference. But now he understands that, because he is not close to be as charismatic or fast as Bolt, he needs to keep talking crazy things to people notice him. It is kind of sad.

[@Tadaia]

If Noah ever breaks the 400 WR, I will be amazed. As things stand, despite his 100 and 200 speed, his best 400 is only mediocre on the world stage.

[@TheFinalLeg]

Correct that his best 400 is very poor relative to others on the world stage (47 seconds) but that was back in 2016, so would be interesting to see what he could run now.

I doubt it. I can imagine him doing some one off races in 2025 early on. Remember he has the wild card in the 100/200 to worlds next year, so he wont have the pressure of making either team at trials next year and has more leeway. but pretty sure he will still try the double in Tokyo at Worlds next year.

@@TheFinalLeg When I think of the consistent female champions I follow I'm thinking of Kipyegon, Hassan, Tsegay, Hodgkinson, Mahuchikh, Olyslagers, Moon, Paulino, Mihambo, Bol, Chebet, Rojas ,Thiam, Thomas, Allman, Ricketts, Camacho-Quinn, Johnson-Thompson, McLaughlin (19). All these ladies have won at least 3 medals dating back to the Tokyo Olympics, so that's kinda consistent. On the men's side I'm thinking Lyles, Bednarek, Holloway, Pichardo, DuPlantis, Tentoglu, Barshim, Crouser, Ingebritsen, Warholm, Chopra, El Bakkali, Cheptegei (13). I'm sure I missed out a few on both lists.

[@TheFinalLeg]

@@kuramobay2445 I havent looked holistically at the sport but there are a few more you missed and a few you added that arent in there: i.e. Ricketts, Johnson-Thompson only won 2 medals since Tokyo Benjamin won 4 medals, Crouser won 4 medals, etc. But in general, I don't think its more or less in terms of men vs women. I would say sprint hurdle wise its the same. Distance wise I would have to look deeper, but I think the distance women (Faith, Sifan, Gudaf) have had more dominance at the top than any men have. But I think that's a case of specific athletes than any specific trend occurring on the women side (i.e grant holloway is more consistent at the top than any women short hurdler. Rai Benjamin has more medals since Tokyo than Warholm or Sydney, etc.)

Personally, fewer and fewer people care to hear about Noah. His actions made a mockery of the 200 m at the Olympics and tarnished the crown of the 100-meter champion. Then afterward with all his actions and voice. (giving interviews that night, with Covid, dancing at clubs in Paris, and claiming of new injury)

[@MauriceBaldwinldm]

You are 1,000% correct. We are tired of hearing him. Stop trying to push him on us....He is not liked. And we have other stars like Sydney...Gabby and Sha'Carri! And young Quincy is coming up...and not to mention Rai! And Tobago is a BEAST!

The fact that you think that tyreek hill and Anthony Edward's are gimics but not breaking the 400m world record makes me question this channel...the huge difference between training for the 200 vs the 400 and it's called LACTIC ACID! Noah is trying to deflect because he can't beat Tebogo in the 200m and he knows that 100m was so close he can't replicate it...thats why his foot is now mysterious fractured and his season is over.

I think the 200m world record is more in reach than we want to acknowledge by a lot of guys (Noah, Tebogo, Knighton eventually, etc.) It will take a lot, but I wouldn't put it past any of them. And yes, Noah has been improving his speed, but doing the double is tough, so I think our expectations of him running a fast 200 after (Budapest and Paris) are not as realistic as we would like to think.

I think though he may not be able to do it at worlds if he doubles though. If he focused on the 200m next year at worlds, he would have a much better shot than if he tried to do it after the 100m rounds at worlds. So yea in general, Im in agreement with you, didn't mean to come off in any negative way originally!

100 and 400 are very different records. But to be fair, he said "go for" the 100m record. Didn't say he will absolutely break the record
