  • Michael Norman has been pushing the limits of sprinting over the previous few years, however 2022 was easily his best and most successful international season.

    Great video but a correction is needed. At around 5:22 you stated that Norman is the only person other than Van Niekirk to run under 20 seconds in the 200 m and under 44 seconds in the 400 m in a single season. That is very much incorrect. I recall that in 1996 Olympics Michael Johnson ran 19:32 in the 200 m and 43.49. That was in a single olympic games. In July 2017 Isaac Makwala ran 43.92 in the 400, then 2 hours later on the same day he ran 19.77 in the 200m!

    I have hope that Norman will be able to take his running to a new level now that he finally is a world champ. I think he’s going to mostly stay away from 100s, but I’d love to see him do a 200/400 double at an Olympics or world championships. I do believe he can get down to 43.3 territory someday. In 200, I could see him getting to 19.55-19.6 and seriously challenge for international golds. We’ve seen him take down Lyles before, he is capable of that kind of speed. Definitely such an exciting, versatile athlete

    Great video. Always enjoy your stuff. Norman is in a tough place; sprints are absolutely stacked right now! He more than likely can't win a 200 race next year if Noah runs like he did this year, not to mention Fred and Erriyon. If Fred and Noah try to double again in the 1 and 2, does that open a window for Michael in either of those races? Last season was incredible all around and set up another great season to come!

    Given that everyone else at the top of that 300m WR list had run both sub 20/44s, it's impressive that Bolt who unfortunately never took the 400m seriously ran 30.97 in his only 300m race! Should be noted that MJ's 30.85s was run at altitude (1,339m/4,393ft) in Pretoria, South Africa. Would've been interesting to see what an interested 09/10 Bolt could have done in the 400m!
    Isn't part of the problem that Norman usually produces his best times at the start of the season as opposed to the WC/Olympics later in the season when it matters? He's run 5 sub 44s - all in June or earlier! For what it's worth, I think he's the most talented 100m (9.86 ) / 200m (19.70) / 400m (43.45) combination sprinter currently, but lacks the 'dog' in him that you see in the likes of Kerley to take him to that next level! Would love to see a rejuvenated WvN, Norman, Kerley, Steven Gardiner, Kenny B, Lyles, Knighton & Kirani in that 300m race!

      Doing it this way is heavily skewed by the 400m. I think a better picture of dominance would be a cross country style scoring system for fastest times in each distance. Whereby the runner with the lowest score is the most dominant overall*. Doing it this way you get 1. Kerley 6 / 24 / 8 = 38 pts 2. Norman 24 / 16 / 40 = 80 pts 3. Van N 81 / 40 / 1 = 122 pts (100 / 200 / 400). Van N is THE most dominant in the 400 but 81st in the 100. Kerley might not have a WR but his average dominance across the 3 distances put together is more pronounced than Norman & Van N.

    • @Dave-lr2wo
      @Dave-lr2wo Před rokem +2

      @@oilguy777 I have a good deal of experience with scoring systems, soI welcome the ideas. I'm not at all suggesting that what I originally threw out is optimal (it was more of a fun idea), BUT:
      1. I'm not convinced that it is skewed by the 400 whatsoever, actually. Show me how. Large variances are the opportunity, not the penalty; every participant has the opportunity to discount time on an equal basis.
      2. I'm not clear on what your method actually is. Is this based on ranking? Because then it would have the fatal flaw of not rewarding disproportionately fast times (which aggregation/summing actually does do in a rough way), since you assign a place-based score in a linear fashion.
      3. The ACTUAL correct way to score comparative multiple performances is to use a multi-events (e.g. like in decathlon) scoring method where performances are plotted against a distribution and where rarer (faster) performance scores are calculated using a coefficient that results in an exponential curve. The table of scores thus rewards smaller increments of points when the performance is near the mean but much bigger jumps towards the tail. The basis of determining "rarity" is a large data set of historical performances in a distribution. Scoring this way might result in Bolt winning the comparison since his 100 and 200 are so outlandish, but that's a guess.

      Uh, no, that weighs the 400 too heavily. Mike would have blasted WVN at his very best in 2 out of 3.

      Unquestionably, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Bolt's untapped times in the "unconventional" distances would all have been records.
      But the focus of his career was real distances, not "exhibition" distances, which he did only rarely. And for good reason. They're meaniningless.

    Not taking away anything the Norman has done, if Bolt concentrated on the 400m you would have been the 100, 200 & 400m world record holder. Let that sink in. Bolt is a fair bit more talented.

      I don't think so, apart from Norman only Gardiner (19.75/43.48) & Kerley (19.76/43.64) have shown the 200m speed & 400m speed endurance to challenge that sub 31s clocking. Kirani with a 20.41 PB doesn't have the sub 20s 200m speed and has only gone sub 44s once (43.88) in the last 5yrs!

    As far as racing goes Michael is frick'n amazing. As far as which ethnic background is responsible for such speed...? I have to give it to his father. Though, I find it fascinating that mainstream media kept talking about the Asian side which wasn't a credit to his speed. Real head scratcher that.

      Not so.
      Kerley is a magnificent athlete too & Im a fan but this isnt 1980.
      No longer is sub 10 impressive, 9.90 isn't even that impressive, id say that 9.8 is the new 10 sec barrier & its something Norman should be looking to break but seeing as no white man has gone under 9.90 yet it probably should be considered the new 10 sec barrier.
      As for 19.8, I dount theres even 20 men in history who has gone under it, therefore its a valid claim that its the new 20 sec barrier. 43.5 is probably even more exclusive with maybe only 10 men going under it.
      Im not cherry picking, just giving the man his due, hes an amazing athlete.

    I think it's fair to say that Information and Materials advancements has been a very Real factor. I do not think it's really fair to glorify today's athletes over past generations. Given the same materials and information I seriously doubt there would be any difference in performance. I think there needs to be consideration for this is record books.

      I totally agree with that. But I have no idea how they could adjust--maybe, if thru research, they could at least get the type of track involved and keep additional info besides the time and wind. But the further back in time, the less info is available. I'm just as fascinated by historical achievements as current ones. I always like to say one cannot compare athletics across eras.
