Jeremy Wariner, the notorious sunglasses-wearing athlete out of Irvine, Texas, has a lengthy list of accomplishments. At just 23 years old, Wariner has picked up the gold medal in the 2004 Olympic 400m and 4x400m relay; was a two-time USA Outdoor champion in 2004 and 2005; was the Indoor and Outdoor champion for the NCAA in 2004; and was the Jesse Owens Award winner in 2006. And he’s just getting started.
Among the dangling medals from his neck dwelled the impressive reality that he was the first Caucasian man to win an Olympic gold in the 400m since 1980, and the first white American man to win a medal of any kind in the sprints since 1964.
Wariner’s personal bests continue to climb and track his continuing improvement. In 2006, Wariner ran a personal best of 43.62 seconds at the Golden Gala Meet in Rome and won his sixth of out of six Golden League events in the same season. During the World Championships in Osaka in August, Wariner took the 400m race in 43.45 seconds – his improvement ranking him the fifth-fastest runner of the 400m of all time.
Wariner has since returned to Texas to attend Baylor University in Waco and train under Clyde Hart, the former coach of Michael Johnson.
You haven t the right to talk like this about a Wariner just because he had had ONE bad year.
YOU have to tie yur laces and do better than these guys
and that is a damn hard work
If you did that, we can talk about the fault other athletes
So shut the up !!!!!
It is obvious that Wariner has a slim body ad looks rather to a 800m runner than to a 200/400m runner.
but for sure he has not the mental strenght for a 800m runner
He always answers to the question of switching to the 800m, that he hates running longer distances(800m)
He would rather make a 200m career than a 800m
Moreover he has not any desire to run the 800m
You clearly don't know how these championships work or how the athletes train... Get your facts straight and maybe stop being a prick.
Thanks.
“Pastor Steve, if you don't type anything in for your name it shows up anonymous coward. I'm assuming that the two AC's are different as i know this third one did not post the others. I hope Wariner comes out and does well, as he said he's a little rusty and it looks like he was, especially since he said he would've run finals.”
Friggin Panzies need to get over yourselves (your pride) and go run bc you have an opportunity and a gift that soooo many others don't have.
I'm disappointed in what I saw these last few days...
People feel like T&F;doesn't get enough respect and it doesn't.. and it should. But damn! You don't get respect by backing down when things get tough or u think yur going to get beat. THAT'S LIFE. HAVE SOME HEART..OR GET OFF THE TRACK!
I just call it how I see it!
