20.13..forever?

[eldrick]

eldrick is a big carl lewis fan and can't accept that a 200m/400m guy is superior to a 100/200 sprinter in the 200m. MJ has said countless times it is all about speed endurance...

i was looking for your refutation to above arithmetic argument ( it was on the last page which you didn't read ? )

thank you for not providing one...

still, here's another one you can kindly provide us with a non-refutation i can await with non-bated breathe

list of guys' splits in the 200/open 100m time same meet

- frankie 10.16/9.89 = 0.27s

- ato 10.18/9.90 = 0.28

- bolt 9.96/9.69 = 0.27

but bolt was worth more like 9.65 as didn't run hard to end -> 0.31

therefore, range of 0.27 - 0.31s split differential between split & open 100

applying to mj's 10.12 ->

9.81 - 9.85

list of fastest splits i know off in 200

- 9.96 bolt

- ?10.06 tyson in his 19.63

- 10.12 mj

- 10.16 ff

- 10.18 marsh in his 19.73 ( ran 9.93 that year )

- 10.18 ato

next fastest iirc are

10.23 - King in his 19.80 og win ( it wasn't in his 19.75 - that was 10.3+ )

10.3+ x-man in his 19.63

( never seen a split for wally's 19.65 or dix's 19.69 - latter on vid, but clarity not good enough to get you within +/- 0.1s )

use the benchmark of 10.20 :

6 men have broken it

5 of them have never broken 45s , with the slowest 100pb is 10.09 ( mj ), next being marsh with 9.93

5 of the 6 have pbs ( all set in same year as 200 split, but some subsequently broken ) well below 10, slowest being 9.93
