Dude put Jan through April training shoulder to shoulder to that of dedicated track athletes who train full time.
Can you smell the intellectual dishonesty or stupidity on that clown?
It can only be either or.
What point are you trying to make?
DK Metcalf could train for the next four years and not make the Olympics.Dude put Jan through April training shoulder to shoulder to that of dedicated track athletes who train full time.

You are correct except he would have to run 10.06 to qualify for the Olympic trials
as well he was running in a heat no runner goes all out in a heat
If this was the final he would have got dusted even more
DK Metcalf could train for the next four years and not make the Olympics.
Yup there are dudes with personal bests under ten seconds who won’t even make the us Olympic squad this year
I just don't think people realize the immense gap between 10.37 and flirting with sub 10.
Marquise Goodwin is an actual Olympian in track and field, he ran a 10.24 coming out of high school, ran track in college, and was never a serious threat to be an Olympic level 100m sprinter.
People just want to believe they can be coached up for everything, but some things are just so raw talent oriented it isn't possible.

I’m not understanding what’s goin on in the thread exactly, how did this not impress nikkas? Lol
he 6’4 230 sprinting with nikkas and held his own
I didn’t seriously think he’d qualify but it was cool to see him jus compete

Point is, if he were a sprinter with four years of training PRIOR to this weekend’s event, he’d no doubt have had a faster time than what he showed.DK Metcalf could train for the next four years and not make the Olympics.
you arent smart at all.
No one is arguing that. Folks are talking about his numbers based on the LACK of training and experience he CAME in with.
Your dumb ass put Jan thru April training shoulder to shoulder with full time sprinter training and years of experience.
Keep arguing the next four years of training and have just as dumb clowns dap an argument no one collectively made.
my god, you are a dunderhead

If he's at 190-200 he's going under 10
This 100%.
Being 6'4" is a disadvantage in a short race like the 100m unless you're Usain Bolt.
236 lbs puts him at a MINIMUM 50 lbs heavier than just about any elite sprinter. Sprinters have low body fat just like DK but they carry a lot less mass. It's like if a Bentley could accelerate as fast as a McLaren basically.
His height would be an issue but if DK was 190-ish like Randy Moss....dude would at least have a shot. That 10.36 might be closer to 10.16.

A sprinters body is = a football body
Where as a basketball body = distance runner body
Even someone like Russell Westbrook would be pretty big for a sprinter at 200 lbs and 6'3".
You basically need to be an NFL corner that's sorta average in height (5'10" to 6'1") but not too heavy. Maybe 175 to 180-ish. Even Deion Sanders was like 6'1" almost 200 lbs. Sprinters are built like NFL players but just scaled down with less mass.
That's the entire premise of the thread and him running in the USATF sanctioned event.
You're just a grumpy old nikka always mad because you aren't up with the times and people call you on it .
