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.
That s just great.
His greatest strengths are:
that he can really focus on what he is doing(Micheal Johnson confessed,the first time I saw him(Jeremy) I recognized that he can focus better than anyone else I have seen before)
Jeremy has to pay attention that he keeps training and keeps focusing very hard on the track.
In 08 Jeremy was very sure he could take every victory with a bit less seriousness.
I know that I am a bit contradicory, because I say at the beginning Jeremy is the man the most seriously, the world has ever seen and I am saying taht he is less focus that the years before.
But 2008 was an execption, Jeremy got a new coach, that means he had to change a lot, but I think that in 09 he will be strong again and 2010 he will be ass strong ass never before
and that during his whole race he just ran his race and don t care about other people,
furthermore he runs extremly relax, (what is very important, when it is the case for a 400m runner, it is all more important to pay attention to run ass relax ass you can, but to not lose any speed thus. This state of relax running is very often neglected on the training, because you have to practice how you can run relax without losing any speed )
and Jeremy uses this advantage to full capacity.
Jeremy Wariner is a very tough guy
