props to asian sprinters - they still tryin

[FabTrey]

i bet we have a better chance breaking 9.4 mark than cacs running 9.9 or below.

Licking my lips about the post I’m about to write.

Stop sleeping on Asian sprinters and Asian sports in general. Just stop. Its 2017 not 1977. Times have changed, people have changed and culture and diets have changed.
The difference between people and races are marginal and we are witnessing the catch up effect in real time.

The Asians are coming; and boy are they about to demolish racial stereotypes in the coming decades.

The main reason Americans and Jamaicans dominate sprinting is two reasons. Firstly they have a culture around sports and performance. Secondly there are incentivized through college scholarships and financial wealth. This previously didn’t exist in many parts of Asia but now does.

Also American and Caribbean sprinters are generational product of their forefathers. The science behind sprinting is immense including the doping part as well. It takes generations of knowledge, understanding, skill and determination to create a sub 10 second sprinter. It doesn’t happen out of thin year but through work and knowledge.

Asian culture previously hasn’t been sporting obsessed nor interested in physical performance. Modern Asian culture has been centred on academics and money making; sports was a pastime. Countries like China, Japan and Korea aren’t that far removed from wars that destroyed their nation. And all these nations have all been interested in rebuilding their nation, rising as a world force than sporting pursuits. There was and has been no interested back then.
Things have changed. Asians are wealthier than ever and Asian governments want to exert their cultural, economic, political and soft power throughout the world; what better avenue than sports.
Asians dominate and do well in weight lifting. Reason being, originally it was weightlifting that was the pinnacle of human athletic performance; which also basically started the doping warfare. But the physical attributes of weightlifting can easily be translated to sprinting. Explosiveness and strength.

China just won the 4x100 medal relay in the last Diamond meet. Fastest 100m youth was once a Japanese kid. Chinese man was broke the 100m hurdle record. Japan came second in 4x100 in the Olympics. Over time they will close the gap and will win gold in 100m in the Olympics.

Mark my words, Asians are long term planners and now they have set their sights on athletics. Japan has 100 year plan for football/soccer. They plan to win the world cup around 2050. Korea and China have something similar.
Even when you look into other nations like Malaysia, Indoenisa, Vietnam, Thailand and so on. Many of their sprinters now run low 10s, like 10.1 or 10.2. These nations themselves will produce sub 10 sprinters within a decade or so.

You can rest of your previous laurels but I warn you, it’s a dangerous game

Fastest kid at my school in inner city Nashville, TN (magnet school but our population was still about 50% black) was Asian. I wasn't into track so I didn't know his times but dude could run.

I wouldn't be surprised if Asians start winning sprints titles in a decade or so. Them nikkas seem determined like fukk to take shyt over. I mean they've already made gymnastics into their own gig.

As someone who doesn't believe in this racial supremacy mumbo jumbo, I fully expect China to start producing some sprint champions in a few decades.

studying hard = / = working hard at running




asian brehs smart as hell because they study like mo fos. but fast nikkas are born fast. i ran circles around cacs and i never once tried hard at track and field. we just born with it nikka. you really think there's gonna be a cac version of MJ? you really think bunch of cacs will start playing DBs if they really tried any harder? GTFO.

i'm sure there are cacs who are athletic as hell here and there. but on average we have better speed. i don't care what you say. i never once tried track and field. i could run faster than some normal looking cac BACKWARDS back in the day.

i don't give a sh$t about genes. we just born fast. or maybe them cacs just born slow. normal brotha will always outrun normal cacs

You sound like a racist white supremacist. Always wanting to explain shyt away by saying its genetics. How about giving the great athletes who dominate their crafts the credit they deserve rather than just saying its because of something they couldn't control.

I'm not gonna slander Usain Bolt or the great Jamaican sprinters and say they are as good as they are because they were born to run fast. I'mma give them credit for the grind they put in for decades and the fact their country and culture has invested so much in the sport.

I'm starting to think @Swagnificent that you were right. it seems the accounts doubling down on this shyt are most likely white.

I'm telling you. I post on this other forum that discusses college football and its basically all cacs and them muthafukkas were literally arguing with me for days that black people are genetically programmed to be better athletes. When I tried to suggest that maybe the black athletes worked harder than whites, they lost their minds. They also kept trying to tie in white supremacist garbage into the debate by saying whites were intellectually superior citing faulty IQ numbers.

I'm sure there are some black folks that believe we are just better athletically by nature. Just as they also believe they are not smarter than whites so they don't try hard in school. This social programming goes both ways. But I haven't met black people who will fight tooth and nail for some idea that we are someone genetically programmed to be better athletes. I only see this level of anger coming from whites. Why?

Because white supremacy is build on the underlying ideology that they are somehow inherently better than we are. They refuse to believe black people can simply defeat them at something by working harder. They need to believe (for white supremacy purposes) that the only reason black people dominate certain sports is from some inherent genetic advantage. Because to do otherwise would be to see all of white supremacy collapse. It would show them that just as black people can beat them in sports by working harder, we can do the same in everything else.

 

[Swagnificent]

No but you got like 50+% of black youth who focus on sports instead of academics...cacs and Asian push more education for their youth.

Plus we come from more destitute situations typically which makes dudes hungrier to try and make it. Same thing happens globally in soccer. I was watching some program and the former US national coach (who is German) said the US won't ever be good at soccer until kids from the inner city start playing it. He said in America soccer is primarily a suburban white kids sport. And he said you ain't never gonna win a world cup that way. He said in Europe and South America, the teams are mostly made up of kids from the poor parts of the country that work the hardest on the game cause they are hungry to make it out of the hood. Brazil is famous for its favelas (aka ghettos) and that is where almost all their greatest soccer players come from.

Culture and how bad you want something and are willing to work at it are far more important to success in sports than "genetics".

I thought east Africans are great distance runners because they live in mountainous areas. Growing up at altitude means your lungs and heart are used to pumping out all you the blood and oxygen you need, with less quantity of oxygen available. It's super efficient and it's not racial, anybody who trains at altitude will significantly improve their cardio fitness and efficiency. Obviously if you're born and raised in that kind of environment you have an advantage over someone who merely trains there occasionally

I already broke it down to these idiots but they don't wanna hear it. There are some undercover white supremacists in this thread who don't wanna believe black people dominate these fields simply because they worked harder than them at it.

The East African dominance of distance running is the most obvious proof this shyt has NOTHING to do with race. I cited earlier that almost all the great runners from Kenya (a country of more than 48 million people) come from just one tribe. The Kalejin. They number less than 5 million and produce the overwhelming majority of the gold medal champions. The reason they are such great distance runners is the reason you cited. They live in high elevation and their bodies adapted to that area. And they also have a culture of runnings and work hard at it. When you combine environmental adaptation, plus a culture that focuses on a sport, and a strong work ethic, you get what is happening right now in East Africa with distance running.

There are high elevation areas all over the world. There is a culture of running everywhere too. Why is it that the Kenyans and Ethiopians completely dominate long distance running?

Maybe they work harder than you cacs?

On the real, you'll notice that most of the great runner (even within those countries) come from just a few tribes. Tribes who have a history of being nomadic pastoralists. Not a lot of nomadic pastoralist tribes in other parts of the world who also live in high elevation.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Lamertre or something. Have no idea where he is now though

He's more of a 200m runner, he is stronger at the back end of the race

 

[Koba St]

at the elite level west Africans are genetically superior to others when it comes to sprinting, East Africans are superior in long distance. Everyone works hard in the olympics dumbass.

If that's the case then why aren't Ghanaians and Nigerians dominating the 100m?

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Didn't he get silver medal at the Olympics one year?

Bronze in Rio

There're nomadic "tribes" in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.... all areas of very high altitude. Same thing in Mongolia, Nepal, etc

Why then are there no world class distance runners from Latin America or Asia?

What about Somali?

Who happens to be unbeaten in 6 years

Colombians gravitate more to cycling.

The real thread title should be that African Countries have slowly and finally caught up w/ the sprinting Superpowers and are legit contenders for titles.
