[@unconventionalcrosy52]

​@@fullhundred dat me a say. A fi dem guy not ours. Lol

[@unconventionalcrosy52]

Mo greene didn't get to say who annoyed him

[@jerryp447]

I am a Jamaican and seriously i cannot forget Maurice Green. He brought fire to the sport. I loved how he was pumped up before he started. I would be nervous if I were next to him. He has not gotten the respect he deserves. BBC cant touch this. This should be sold to some television network. This is legendary. I have always wanted to see something about Maurice but now It has been fulfilled. Linford nuff respect. Asafa the man and Justin Gatlin. Pure love and respect for these legends

[@AsafaAlyshiaPowell]

[@RapperHolik]

Maurice is what Noah tries to emulate, but it comes off clownish and too extra, whilst Maurice's antics instilled intimidation and fear to other opponents. The original is always better

[@jerryp447]

@@RapperHolik I agree but I still respect Noah as even if he is clown, he is the only one right now bringing that energy. But I can never get over Maurice green. That bro was a beast. Those were the days.

[@TAM.w39]

He is been well paid to be a clown according to you.

[@letelprek3481]

Maurice was good (very good) in every way in track and field. All of the individuals in this forum were exceptionally good.

[@orjivincent2470]

Justin and Powell’s friendship is just so beautiful to watch.. I love the mutual respect and support

[@nicolemaddix4291]

Since Williams-Mills spoke about Justin's support for her when she fought breast cancer, I hold nothing against him. How he behaved after beating Usain and watching him on Asafa, he seems like a really good guy. Who would have thought😎🏁

[@Richboss879]

Asafa you did it again bro another class act with the legends much love

[@drb996]

Hopefully we can have them come out during Gibson and Champs to present medals etc. Would love to honour them as T&F ambassadors ❤

[@AsafaAlyshiaPowell]

That would be cool!

[@allisonthomas8099]

[@omarrobinson7138]

THAT IS A GREAT IDEA !!! and this will expose some of these kids to some great icons in the sport.

[@landingdemba8161]

This is super great, oh man you don’t even know what this means to us Track and Field fans.

[@Dewdrops7560]

Track and field needs a hall of fame, these sprinters need all the accolades, nice to see them, still looking great. Thank you Asafa, you're amazing.

[@AsafaAlyshiaPowell]

Yes they do

[@audreybarracks-mckenzie2879]

Thnz Asafa as a track and field enthusiasts this was priceless. I felt like I was watching all those olimpics with the different ogs again, only this time o understand mo green better, which the topic of inform infamous false start came up... overall discussion was priceless..Amazing podcast Safa🙌👌👏

[@kwabenaX]

Asafa, you are awesome to bring these legends on your show.👏

[@AsafaAlyshiaPowell]

Thanks for liking

[@rblake5029]

ASAFA THANK GOD FOR THE PUMA HOUSE THIS PAST OLYMPICS FOR THE LOVE AND ACCOMMODATION THEY PROVIDED THE ATHLETES.

[@rblake5029]

WHAT ABOUT THE UBER DRIVER IN PARIS WHEN HE REALIZED THAT HE WAS IN THE COMPANY OF ALL THESE GREAT SPRINTERS AT ON PLACE DURING THE OLYMPIC GAMES .

[@rblake5029]

ASAFA THE ONE SPRINTER THAT SHOULD OF BEEN THERE IS ATO BOLDON, HE RAN AGAINST GREEN AND CHRISTIE.

[@n.nosworthy7110]

Asafa, this conversation with you guys was phenomenal-the energy and vibes were incredible! I loved how everyone was so honest. Track athletes deserve more recognition and support, and you all deserve your flowers!

[@peterv6025]

I love the camaraderie between you guys. I'm not an athlete but i can sit and watch you guys and celebrate your accomplishments. Good work Asafa

[@RAR1792]

Asafa this is Epic. Nice to see 4 legend sitting in the same space. Love it.

[@livityraliegh4831]

I enjoyed this interview with Maurice, Lynford, and Justin. Lynford let the Jamaican come out . Great interview Asafa

[@noellyons421]

I love this episode. Mo Green the man who had his tongue out and I think it was intimidating. I think Gatlin got some of Green characteristics. We used not liking Christie because he didn't run for Jamaica. We respect you all. I loved the race where Asafa beat Mo and he said I will get him in the next. Great podcast. Big up.

[@nicolemaddix4291]

Asafa this Podcast is as valuable as the Newspaper clippings that your brother collected on you over the years. It is "MUSEUM WORTHY"😎🏁

[@muhammaddanialfelixabdulla5000]

i am at awe when ALL 4 of my idols sat and talk through their experinces...thank you Asafa for making this happen...

[@Meikles888]

Track and field legends,this is a treat for sure.

[@newyork2714]

@Meikles888 Yes, but there is too much speed in one room, lol 😆 😅

[@drmorgs]

Wow wow! Glad to see Christi and Green. Keep going Asafa. Need to see Frankie Fredric soon . Only Asafa can bring out these big players at one sitting

[@OshunMyst]

Asafa. Thank you for this. The main takeaway is true. All past legends should be honoured by ALL athletics federations with passes etc for ANY meeting they choose to attend.

[@focjkasfhuioo]

Maurice greene is a legend. Track coach used him as an example of winning a race before a race via intimidation.

[@sidwhelan6918]

I ran the 400 and 4x400 in high school. Though I was nothing special as a runner, I did develop a special appreciation for the sport and its top practitioners. So I absolutely love seeing these interactions that the Powells create!

[@n8george]

This is one of the most amazing things that could've happened 🐐

[@Shanere-e7c]

This is BIG , LARGE & HUGE 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I am so related. Big up Asafa Powell and i am happy for the brotherly love between you and Justine Gatlin Love love ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@graignelson9497]

This podcast was not good but GREAT. It just showed us super fans more about these legends. Always loved Linford Christie but Maurice Green 😮 ooow had me with his tongue wagging and shirt tearing (haha). Just realizing that he is actually KOOL. Big Up

[@AsafaAlyshiaPowell]

It’s all apart of the showmanship helps grow the sport also . Marketing wise Thanks for watching

[@georgesmith9841]

All my life watching track this is one of the greatest interview/sit down ever. Thanks bro

[@TonySnow-rf6xz]

Growing up in Kansas City Mo I never had the honor to race M. Greene in high-school. I was very fortunate to be teammates with Tim Harden in high-school. I followed both careers religiously. I enjoyed this discussion with true legendary athletes!

[@domgre2001]

I really enjoyed this one. Technically, these are my four favourite sprinters. I’m glad that Asafa gave these guys their flowers👌

[@SocratesDissatisfied]

Respect to you Mr Powell!!!! You did what the Big Sports Networks should have done.

[@chaisso]

Fantastic video with legends. Truly a shame that their own sport don’t honour them at national and international events.

[@karizma1485]

My childhood heroes all on one screen. Absolute chills! Thank you, thank you and thank you for putting this together. I couldn’t stop smiling throughout! ❤️

[@selectressdawnggoldingroov6081]

Respect to your guess Linford Christie. My brother, Julian Golding, used to compete against him. I remember meeting Maurice in London, I think it was 98 or 98. Both great sprinters, not forgetting yourself Asafa. ❤️🙏

[@AsafaAlyshiaPowell]

Good stuff

[@lebrongilez]

Julian Golding... is he the one who used to dye his hair?

[@selectressdawnggoldingroov6081]

No @lebrongilez, I think you are thinking of Dwain Chambers 🙏

[@shotta4lifeishere]

I truly enjoyed this, all the legends sitting around sharing their opinions and us fan of the sport just being able to enjoy In 2000 literally my entire country (Barbados) was on pause for the 100m. We had Obedele Thompson in the race (our fastest sprinter in history to date), I was 8yrs old and the ONLY person I knew anything about was our "Oba", but then I'll never forget this bald headed dude, kinda looking like a pitbull or wild animal and I remember thinking who is this guy he looks crazy, that day i became a Maurice Greene fan, the man bad so much aura, he'd have transcended the sport if that was 2024. I know he'll never see this but I just wanted everyone here to know that athletes like these have impacts on not just their own countries , but the whole world, forever a GOAT of the track.

Thank you for this episode, Asafa!!! Thoroughly LOVED every minute. You're doing amazing! Shoutout to the legends!

[@AsafaAlyshiaPowell]

Thank you

[@kathleensmith3489]

Hey Asafa, I'm just discovering your podcast and this is some great contents. There is no channels that are gathering sprinters to have chat and share stories like that. The legends including Yourself in this video where the athletes I used to admired when I was a teenager doing sprinting back in the days in Reunion island. Much love and respect!

[@GrinchBrothers]

Superb episode! All great sprinters I came up watching when I ran and afterwards. Salute to all 4 of these sprinting legends! #GetGrinched🌳🔥💨

Shout out to my Hero Maurice Greene! Winning the 100m World Championships 3 times in a row is really hard. Look at how many Champions have exchanged titles since 2017, It's Gatlin, Coleman, Kerley and Lyles en Greene did it 3 Consecutive Championships in low 9.8s.

THANK YOU Asafa! Seeing all of you brothers together in one place, hearing/seeing how down to earth all of you are is priceless! When we speak of the natural treasures our athletes are… you brothers, all of you are it! I hope you continue to bring our track legends together! Hey! Can you get Elaine Thompson-Herra(last name spelled wrong) on your podcast? I love her accent!
