I'm waiting for your comments and or podcast about Noah 200m final. Even if he was a giraffe his lean couldn't help him!!😂
Let be the first to say you were wrong. The 200m is not handed to anyone and I'm not a hater. In fact I love the Jamaican-in-law Noah Lyles. However, I hate that he's being referred to as the fastest man in the world before he proved it. It's a disrespect to Usain Bolt.
Where are you now Shannon that Noah really got smoked by tobbogo? Carl Lewis and Usain Bolt is the best to ever do it. It doesn't take boy to double much less trip in the Olympics. Word to you Shannon if you cannot pick up someone don't put them down it's best to stay umble because the first race to life is the Human Race. Jamaica is a little dot on the map and making its name in the world of athletic. 9.58 and 19.19 ain't no joke brother.
" Gold is gone " – Michael Johnson 😂😂😂😂😂 yeah gone to Tebogo
Wow I didn't know Michael Johnson was tryna become the ATP, that's a good ass idea to treat it like tennis or golf
World Series of Athletics (WSA). Billlions of Dollars untapped. People will pay to see the best of the best compete against each other. All the events in Track and Field once a month at different venues in all the major cities around the world (New York, Tokyo, LA, Paris, London, Berlin, Sydney or Melbourne, Madrid or Barcelona, Beijing, Shanghai, Stockholm or Oslo, or Helsinki, Amsterdam or Brussels, Zurich or Lauserne, Rio, Buenos Aires, Kuala Lumpa, Djakarta, Singapore). Share 8 of the monthly meets with different cities each year with the other 4 of those meets being slams at a fixed city. Prize money, rankings, technology like Grand Prix but Track and Field instead.
First time hearing his voice. The accent caught me of guard
You right let's talk about silver and bronze
Noah Covid 19 👀
Comments was off when ya'll interviewed Gabby Thomas BUT Ocho was the best i have ever seen him Dat beautiful beautiful black sister had an effect on HIM GO OCHO
Let’s talk about silver and bronze 😂😂
What is his analysis after the 200?
Here is my analysis of the race. I agree with what Michael Johnson said about the 100m. But this is the full detail.
As a fan, I realized that Kishane got an alright start and I believe he rushed his drive phase just to catch Fred and didn't stayed in his own lane and was racing Fred instead of executing the race. This came from lack of experience to these situations. Last year on the circuit, Kishanr ran down Christian, Noah and others and almost catch them at the line and reduced his pb to around 10.85. All the races he had this year (except the Olympic final) he was ahead of the pack so he could have focus on his execution. But because of he was trying to catch Fred which ended up that he rushed his phases and it lead to lost of focus in execution. A lot of people are staying because he didn't practice to run through the line, which I disagreed, he ran hard through the line but with poor execution because of the pressure of Fred and lack of experience to cope with this said pressure. He needs more runs on the circuit especially since Franno can keep him healthy in order to deal with this pressure. Also I am delighted that Kishane realized this problem himself and is resolute in making sure it will not happen again.
Also, I like to refer to Kishane as Franno's baby. Franno typically picks an athlete and make them his pet and pour his heart out in them. This is what I observed from the outside looking in. He loves developing young athletes more than training established stars in the sport, which he stated in an interview. He develops and just maintain and move on to the next. That is what he did with Asafa, then Shelly, then Elaine now Kishane. One might say it lead to the breakdown of Shelly and Elaine's relationship and Shelly eventual exit from MVP.
I think it's just oh so good that Tebogo won the 200m! MJ how's that gold in the bag for Noah now? It always amazes me that people do this.Take your boy out with a wheelchair.
🇧🇼
Unc was fanning out lowk… so dope
He was the best I used to call myself MJ cuz of him not michael jordan
I dont know nothing bout running, all this 400 400 got me confused gotta go do some research
Unc & Ocho! Ocho & Unc! Love the coverage of the Olympic games. Ty, for bringing Michael the "GREAT " on the scene!!! 🔥 Unc, please continue doing Club Shay Shay!!! Don't allow anyone to run you off the field!!! You belong!🫶🏾🌻😘
Nice
So who won 200m?
Michael J said lets not talk about Gold, but lets focus on sliver and bronze, and that “Noah Lyles owns the 200m” and Tebogo said ‘Hold my beer!’
The 100m race was a good sign that Noah wont win the 200m.
Chad just makes me laugh naturally funny
Noah Lyles is a disgrace to the country knowing he had covid and still competed. He also put himself at risk as he needed medical care afterward. Shame on Noah.
Awesome interview unc and Ocho. Quality sports programming.
Thank you Michael Johnson you kept my hope in Jessie Owens alive.
August 9, 1936 he won his 4th gold medal.
You were right about Sydney.
Thank you.i will never forget your gold shoes.
Unc and Ocho taking over the internet/Youtube by storm. ✌️💪💯
Great great great interview!!! This was nostalgia in a bottle kinda like an ice cold cream soda that you have to pop the top on!! MJ is one of the greatest!!! 💛💛💛
How this interview doesn’t have a million views is crazy. Listening to MJ I feel like I learned more about sprinting in one hour than what I knew before. Excited to see what he does with this new league he is starting!
I would pay to listen to me talk track
donovan bailey haunts Johnsoms dreams to this day
Micheal Johnson finally came out of hiding , its the 1st time he has showed his face since Donnovan Bailey embarassed him at the skydome
Remember when everyone was trash talking his running style?
To be fair, out of the 3 track distances 400m, 200m, 100m Bolt wins 2of3, so that makes Bolt the greatest.
Grand slam your arse!!
I got to give it to Shannon. He's done his homework when it comes to track and field.
GREAT Conversation! I wish y'all would have the track MJ GOAT, what thought about the incident with Athing Mu!?! If it was Shady or just an accident?!? And should a runner be allowed an automatic qualification if they have the #1 personnel best that year…
Donovan Bailey
You have to have Michael again talking about the 200m! I want to hear his thoughts.
Man Shannon does his homework
They should get ⚡️BOLT 🐐 on the podcast 🔥
Shannon is so sharp with his questions
Wait until political commitment, sprinting training, and facilities meet the sea of talent on the African continent. It's coming!
What a great podcast. So glad i found this.
Legend Michael Johnson 🐐!🔴⚫️🟢✊🏿✊🏿
