@MJGold@Jwariner@WorldAthletics@Diamond_League 1999 MJ jogged from a 100m out and clocked 43.9xx (no prizes handed out had he run 42.8xx) - I’m with Jeremy here though, as a field even yet.
@garrigan_john@RealRodSteel@MJGold Judging by records alone isn’t the correct metric. To all Bolt fans he could win but to all MJ fans, I agree MJ could win also. If their times aligned they definitely wouldn’t have been as successful. MJ may have won a medal other than Gold & Bolt wouldn’t have 3 Olympic 🏅 200m

With @dkm14 competing this weekend at @usatf meet, sprinters rightly feel disrespected. People don’t understand their talent. But that’s not DK’s fault or the media’s fault. The sport has done little to show the immense skill and talent it takes to run 100m in under 10 seconds.
