Is there anybody who thinks we will see a 200/400 double soon? Is there any man or woman out there capable of the double?

Re: Will we see a 200/400 double any time soon?
Certainly not any on the men's side right now who are capable of truly elite performanes in both sprints... how about Kenteris? He might have just about the best combined 200/400m credentials of any active sprinter rightn now

Hey Brian,I think you are right about Kederis. There are alot of questions about him though. Marion Jones would be the closest thing we would have ,if she would run the 400. Tyree would really have to run some good 200's ,but he has alot of talent.If Michelle Collins hadn't been hurt we might of seen her attempt it. However she is more of a 400 runner and she would have to beat Ana Guevara. Definitely a difficult task.

Hey thanos we didn't say it was going to be easy. All we said was Kenteris has the best combination of speed and strength to pull it off. Anyway, right now is as good a time as any to try, because there is not a dominator in either event right now.

"I think kederis is overrated."
Huh? 2000 Oly champion, 2001 World champion, ranked 2nd in the world last year with a 19.85. He doesn't race much, but he has been lethal in the big races over the past few years. Give the guy credit for knowing how to win.

The Greek gets little credit because he is white. It's that simple.
He's plain fast, is what he is. And not psyched out like a lot of white guys who probably have the talent, but are scared or brainwashed out of competing before they even hit their teens. Wonder how many potential white triple jumpers with world beating talent go to waste in the US alone every year. I do think (American/Caribbean/W. African) blacks have a very high number of guys with the natural ability to succeed in the sprints/long jump, higher percentage of guys than the white population. But that doesn't mean so few whites have the talent that we see one pop up every 10 to 20 years.
