This is unbelievable.  It completely puts in perspective just how fast these guys are...wait until the end of the video and they superimpose him with receivers and lineman....jeesh.

I ran a 4.5 in Ahearn Fieldhouse almost exactly 25 years ago.

Amen to that.

That video was hilarious.  Even when they gave Eisen a head start against that big dude, he still lost.  That's good stuff.

So true.  The fastest dude always wins.  There's no amount of practice or luck that will ever allow me to outrun Maurice Green.  Can't be done.

what do you think about the decathlon? It seems to me like it would be the ultimate test of athleticism.

Is much more a sport than say.. tennis.

[rundown87]

My roommate ran a 4.4 when he was in high school.  He's also 5'6, and about 115 lbs.  Would get killed in any professional sport.




BTW, I get this think in the top right of my screen, I think TP wants us to vote Loren Pepperd.  For Manhattan KS City Commission "A Fresh Perspective"

Major difference between "athleticism" and "sport".

Ice skating and gymnastics are "athleticism" . . . but not sports.  I mean who the hell are they competing against? 

A good track dude is just competing against his own ability not to trip and fall, or else hoping the dude he knows is faster than him will just trip and fall.  Not a sport. 

General rule of thumb: if you can't play defense, it's not a sport.

Anything that involves a certain degree of body movement or athleticism is a sport, game and/or competition. Track or running is probably the most basic sport a human can participate in..was it not the "first" sport/competition ever played?

If you consider outrunning your mates in the African savannah when a cheetah is after you, certainly.
