Michael giving some perspective on track speed vs NFL speed. For example, years ago Usain Bolt ran the fastest NFL 40 yard dash time in sweats + a pair of trainers.
Get an NFL run-off event, maybe a 100m, with Tyrese Hill, DK Metcalf and other 'speed demons', maybe some pro soccer players, too (some of them look quick on the pitch). Lets see how they can do in a timed sprint race with a starting gun start, not the 40 yd sprint they do in the NFL combines. How about a high jump event, I'm sure some NBA players with a bit of practice could do quite well (NFL great Randall Cunningham was a 7 ft high jumper back in school). Maybe a 'Masters Mile' for men and women which was an interesting item they had in meets back in the early 1980s. That helped lower the men's master's world record to under 4 minutes.
Wait and see who signs up. It isn't an accident that there are so many meets with one star and a bunch of lane fillers. If you can collect appearance fees and win these laughable so-called races while performing at 90% of your capabilities, why would you rock that boat? I'd love to see top athletes competing regularly, but it would likely break them down inside of a year, and then in the following year things will go back to the way they were. But we'll see.
So "subs" equal success? There are plenty of people who love track and are gonna tune in and just don't watch youtube or maybe don't know they even have a channel. I didn't, did YOU? 🤔
Yes. Yes. Yes. We need visionaries in this sport. Love track and field.
I am EXCITED to see this vision come to fruition!!!!
This is nice and she did well with not making the track questions or sport sound odd or weird
This is awesome for the sport!
Congratulations MJ
This is long overdue!! Cant wait to see it!! Hope they expand to include field events too
Actually we have Diamond League too but I am extremely excited.

You may be on to something
It is so crazy to me how sprints can't get the attention that bodybuilding does.
238 subs. So I take it this is dead in the water?

Michael never had the best start, but he always had great endurance and momentum.

Sydney is the worst brand ambassador the way she pulls out of races & starts crying for no reason
