Man that really put a smile on my face when he said it. I'm sure his dad was going bananas watching this race. Perhaps even shed a tear all things considered.
Wow! That's an incredible technique. To some it may look "energy wasting", but is it? His unique arm movement is in rhythm/ cadence to generate lift, propulsion and balance, especially in the last (say) 150M. As aerodynamically inefficient as his form is - Morales obviously compensates for that with more forward momentum (propulsion). IMO, everyone's brain is uniquely programmed to their own body to establish their body mechanics. Not withstanding the (race) distance, most have similar mechanics. His is just different than what we consider normal.
Yeah especially when it comes to arms, people have different caveats to their running posture depending on their proportions and day-to-day activities. Just for example, runners who have to sit behind a desk for 4+ hours a day will almost always have a slight forward lean at the neck. Idk what causes Christopher to swing like that but clearly it works well to some degree.
yes if they/he change his form. He will get slower and more prone to injury. It was the same with DeGrasse. He had that unique asymetrical straight arm swing but ran super fast. Then they changed it and he lost speed and got injured.
CMW must have incredible speed endurance. He doesn't look nearly as tired as Wayde van Niekerk does after a 400. Yes, I know Van Niekerk has run a full second faster, but he had to be carried off the track on a stretcher after one of his faster races.
From all good fathers everywhere... finally someone thanks their dad. Good job and good run young man.

LMFAOOOOOOOO that formmmmm lmfaooooooooo
Dang, 43 coming
LMFAOOOOOOOO that formmmmm lmfaooooooooo

What happened to the full race? Poor coverage!
His form is perfect for him , how do we know? Because ain’t nobody better in college

Big dawg from Canada
Don’t change a thing young man. The form police can kick rocks. Congrats champs!
LMFAOOOOOOOO that formmmmm lmfaooooooooo
Goofy form but still really fast.
It works 💪🏿
I kept thinking the same the whole way through since this track season started man 😂
Goofy form, but much faster than your lard ass.
It’s alright, not as weird as Michael Johnson’s laid back style
Facts and look at Quincy too… just pure talent
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Stop trying to give EVERY track athlete the SAME form. It’s not a one size fits all. Check the clock. Bye. 🙄✌🏾

Excellent CMW. Way to go! Great pb.
Once he really cleans up his running style hmm he can be lethal.
DAMN!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
and the collegi letter leader Khale Khaleb McRae😭
He's a bullet very aggressive he's form will improve as he gets more experience
Did he pass his Spanish exam?
Crazy he’s running that fast with that form. Hopefully he has enough gas in the tank come Olympic time
Bro na first comment pannita❤
I just farted
Hope younger sprinters don't emulate Morales' wide arm swinging form!
Ah yes. NCAA track and field, where athletes run fast times but can’t replicate it at world championships or Olympics.
Somehow this form works. Idk how lol
Looks like it propels his legs even more... Would love to see an analysis of his mechanics, because it's worth studying.
First like
WTF
He will be more successful than norman.
Looks clumsy as hell and energy wasting. However, a w is a w.
It's much, much more than just a W. It's 44.05.
Bro all over the place wasting energy
If it works for him then don’t try and fix it
LMFAOOOOOOOO that formmmmm lmfaooooooooo
