- On September 7th, 2012, Aries Merritt from the United States achieved one of the most unbelievable feats in sporting history, and in our personal opinion, his athletic exploits on this day were nothing short of legendary.

A legend 🔥 Aires is rarely talked about now but he is an absolute 🐐
I totally agree Merrit is so underrated
Hurdlers don't get the attention and credit they deserve compared to sprinters. I competed in the decathlon in the 1960s. The hurdles to me was the most challenging event, even more so than the pole vault.
for me running 100 m seems like a nice discipline however running 100 m with hurdles not so natural so thats why i prefer the other discipline.
thx man :)
I realize it is pretty off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new series online?
I haven’t been running for that long. I have only done middle school track and did the 100m and 400m but for my first year of high school I decided to run the 55m hurdles for indoor track and it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am genuinely looking forward to the 110m hurdles in spring track and everyday I love running even more because of hurdles.
This is an amazing world record, everything about this race is so technical! The men’s 400m hurdle record is next! It will be broken by either Rai Benjamin or Karsten Warholm.
dont be so sure of that i think. many times athletes have approached WRs and shown promise and even assumed that they would break a WR and never achieved it. Personally i think KW had his chance in 2020 and couldnt do it. Sadly if there had been an olympics he may have done it there, but its possible that this was the only time in his career that he got to that kind of form and fitness- in prep for an olympics. we'll see.
The 400mh record will be in the low 46 range by 2023. I'm leaning towards Rai Benjamin getting it done.
@@timn4481 boy did Warholm show how to break a World record
@@timn4481 enjoy this ratio.
Aged like fine wine
I'm just so glad he got to run his perfect race before his career was interrupted but the kidney disease. Whatever happened after this race, he could retire as the best.
I’m grateful that we were gifted to witness his perfect race. I use to run that on the Olympic video games they used to come out with.
Phenomenal video, this is an amazing story and record props for telling it!
And to think before 2012 Merritt hadn’t even broken 13 seconds yet in the 110 hurdles. He ran 13.09 back in 2007 so it was a long time coming but still, truly a remarkable season that I couldn’t believe 8 years ago. He truly ran the perfect race on the perfect day. It’s unfortunate that his decline in health never let him be quite the same, but for just a single year he was indestructible, and that’s still something to be in awe of.
Yes indeed, he was under rated. I will always be a fan.
I have never heard of this man before, but thanks to my man TRP I'm learning so much about Track & Field. 🙏
The best channel ever
The best ones get injured or hurt at their peaks like Geoffrey Kamworor getting hit with a moterbike and Keninisa Bekele's leg injury
Kelvin Kiptum 😢

The top hurdlers should always run the 100m a couple times each season. The general public doesn't understand exactly what the 110m performances represent.
That 12.80 he ran would probably translate into a sub 9.80 100m(if not faster).
Not only the hurdlers are some the fastest people, they also run an unforgiving race. Mistakes cost much more in the 110m than in the 100m.
Respect to the hurdlers untill I see friends on track and call them failed sprinters again ;)
Great vid
Not even close it would probably translate to 9.80! Only Omar Mcleod has broken 10secs with 9.99 and his technique isn't the greatest! Colin Jackson was a 10.20 100m runner and personally think he had the best technique ever! I would suggest Merrits 100m speed is probably around the 10secs flat mark.
Merrit is technically great too but remember he used 7 strides to the first hurdle! Something Colin Jackson had disagreed with Merrit but it worked for him!
@@SuperBEEFMAN1 because they don't run 100m regularly. Most hurdlers stop running 100m years before reaching their prime, that's why their 100m PBs aren't that good. Aries Meritt 100% would have run a 100m under 9.80 when he beat the 110m world record.
@@chillinstorm254 NO CHANCE!!! That's an insane statement your making. If he specialised in the 100m then who knows!? Merrit explained why it was crazy quick.
this record is so rarely talked about
He was amazing! His health issues really impacted his career unfortunately.
The price we pay for peds

@@casanjt8515 you don't know a whole lot about kidney disease do you!
@@donshields2379 you dont kno a whole alot about ped's and the effects dey have on the kidneys do you
What’s cool is that Merritt was being interviewed by a former world record holder in the same event, Colin Jackson
the point of a hurdles record being difficult in that the barriers force the athlete to check their stride as 2 strides isnt possible. Thats why its been 35+ years pretty much to bring down the record from Nehemiah's 12.93 to a shade under 12.90.
in the same period of time, the 100m WR has dropped almost half a second..the 400m gone by almost a full second and the 200m by over half a second.
by those figures, a distance of 110m shouldve been bettered by at least 0.25s conservatively but more like 0.35..down to 12.6x.
but those pesky barriers dont allow a simple extrapolation over distance.
Aries Merritt 2012 is up there with the best track seasons ever, beautiful.
He deserves so much more
Agreed : totally underrated ! I hadn‘t heard of him 😳.
Great call. I also think that the general public does not realise how tall the 110H for men are! Unbelievable!
Omg his achievements! Indeed they have a lot of merrit
Haha, nice one!
Haven't watched yet, already going to be great.
My man TRP never disappoints
Hey, if I had his genetics, body frame, training, and work ethic, I could lower the world record too. On a lighter note, thanks for bringing this accomplishment to my attention. Great job and hope he overcomes his ailment and gets back in his former condition.
aires merrit was such a good hurdler
A bronze medal 4 DAYS before a kidney transplant?!?!?! What a legend!!!
Not to mention this guy had a Kidney Transplant in the mist of the records. Absolute beast of an athlete!
@UnderGroundFootRacing.com
Thank you this is one of the greatest achievements in track and field hurdlers be getting no love😂 grant Halloway looking to change that tho
Such a 🐐
This is one of my favorite records
Hurdlers are probably the most disciplined, hardworking athletes in the sport.
thank you :)
In 2017, I set up the last 5 hurdles for all lanes at the Drake Relays in Iowa. It had Merrit, Parchment, and McCloud. McCloud actually ran faster (13.05) in that event than he did at the Olympic games the year before for his gold medal. Very fun to see and have short conversations with those guys, being a hurdler in high school the years before that myself. I only got 5th for my State meet in high hurdles, but my hurdle friends and I still own the national record for the shuttle hurdle relay for high school. Very proud of that.
my alltime favourite athlete! yay!
Amazing run! I remember Colin Jackson was always telling him how he was against him using 7 strides to the first hurdle instead 9! But it worked for him!
Id suggest 110mh along with Colin Jackson 60mh World records are untouchable!
Anyone see that guy in the race that fell over at the end. 🤣🤣
It makes you realize that to run this fast in the 110m hurdles, these guys have to have near-world class speed in the 100m as well as tremendous coordination and strength. I would wager that his open 100m time would be in the low 10's and his 200m in the 20's or low-21's.
That’s a video game 🎮 record! 💯🙌🏾
Hey, I know this is a running channel, but have you done any videos/thought about doing any videos either on:
Swimming/other individual sports (racewalking, Ultrarunning, triathlon?)
Also-paralympic athletes? There are some amazing and inspiring paralympic track and field athletes out there
Amazing video but with a rare sad ending 😟
True, when I see people talk online about the strongest WRs, this one doesn't come up. It's SO far ahead though. Before this time the WR progression (I don't pay attention to hurdles so this may be wrong) seemed like 12.92, 12.91, 12.90, 12.89, 12.88, 12.87. Then just 12.80 DAMN.
Edit: Oh, the video literally goes over it, why am I typing?
bro was so op he had to get nerfed 💀
Can you SAY.......IN THE ZONE????? This is one of these records that is NOT going to be broken for a long long LONG time!!!
Even though this record is fantastic I think Liu Xiang’s 2004 Olympic gold medal is a better moment
i wouldn’t say untouchable, devon allen is gonna break it this year
TRP why do you change the title and thumbnail multiple times?
It makes people who’ve seen the video click on it again when it shows up in their recommendations.
@@kingv-raptor840 oh so like to get multiple views from one person>?
Usually it's to see what has the best click through rate
Make a video about Liu Xang
yes i would like to see that too
Not untouchable we had a guy go 12.81 at Olympic trails lol. Aries is still the greatest ever
You may one day talk about paralympiques track and field record and athlete?
Merrit is the best 110 hurdler of all time.
What does the 110mH look like in this Olympics? Mcleod just ran a great time and we have Holloway, Roberts, Belocian seems to be getting back to the price he showed in his youth, and who knows who else will show up.
O melhor são os infindáveis adjetivos
Sasha Zhoya 12.87 at 17 years old.
Sasha had 39 inch barriers, not the standard 42 inch barriers that the elite men have to hurdle.
@@phaethon1988 how far do you think he could go at senior level? Paris 2024?
@@bunkymunky I wouldn't be surprised if he runs sub 13 even before 2024. The young man is talented.
big talent for sure
Cool! I also make running videos!
Imma break his record one day
I've broken a hurdle record that stood for 4 years at my school
Man l like listening. When did you start getting tired of of voice over
What is THE same of THE last song please
Brussels, Monaco and Valencia Wr Places everyone and Beijing and Soon London 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
There’s like zero room for error trying to break the 110 hurdle record. Anything beyond 3 steps is a total loss. Any wrong misstep and your PR is probably out the window.
I wish I was first but the damn UA-cam notis lol
Will hurdle heights ever be standardized for men and women?
Most underated record is Jonathon Edwards triple jump. The guy was a freak and had so much unknown potential. He seriously could have contested a 100m medal or even in olympic weightlifting if he trained properly. He squatted 230kg and cleaned 155kg at 75kg bodyweight, and a 100m PB of 10.4 without ever running doing proper running repeats in training (read his training log). We know from training logs that when he was training with linford christie and frankie fredericks he was beating them in 30m time trials. Team GB certainly missed a trick by not including him on the 4x100 relays. It's been 25 years and noone has come close to his 18m+ jumps
Its looking pretty breakable as of late. Soon to go probably Holloway is insane.
you talk about marathon big dogs. please make research about a ugandan PHILLIP KIPLIMO. this guy has won.4 marathons in 4 different countries over the past 19 months and in dominant fashion. he also represented uganda at the 2010 commonwealth games. he is remarkable on a winning streak
Bro make a next video on (Christian Taylor)
Who is watching this after someone was .01 off the wr
I'm going to break this record
Any else see the guy nosedive at 3:28?
I love how he does the Fortnite run at the end
It's actually the Naruto run
Not untouchable. It will be gone in the next couple years from either Tinch, Holloway, or broad bell
Ah, the olympics: where the pharmacists of the world compete (via athletes).
mate , aths fans dont need or want your kind of comment. The fact is that athletics is cleaner than its ever been. but I wont run you through the reasons why and how 202X compares to yesteryear- you can google the testing protocols and methods yourself. Hint: records arent tumbling on a regular basis anymore..and when they do go they are usually to a single one of a generation athlete as opposed to the 60s/70s when multiple different athletes were taking them.
@@timn4481 Here's the deal. A lot of the steroids/chemicals used to "enhance" performance occur naturally in the human body. So, the ruling authorities set an upper bound; if you exceed this level, you fail. The authorities recognize that some people naturally have higher levels than others, with Olympians perhaps having unusually high levels, so they set the upper bound pretty high (sometimes 3-8x times the average amount found in ordinary people). Chemical "cheating" is allowed, provided you don't exceed this threshold. Teams have doctors that monitor the athletes' levels and raise them as high as possible without exceeding the allowable range. So is it like the wild heyday of the 60s and 70s? (whose records have all been shattered, btw) No. Pharmacists work hard to ensure that their athletes get all the advantage possible, without failing a test. Hence, it's a competition of pharmacists.
Has there been any discussion on making the women’s and men's height and distance the same?
G.O.A.T?????

Roger Kingdom, not Kingson.
Am starting to wonder what 'underrated' means to some people..... holding a world record means no one has ever previously performed better than you did on that occasion.... that's clear and is not disputed so where does the reference to underrating come from? PS It is Roger Kingdom not Kingson.
I thought he was Tyler The Creator at first.

Not do detract from the feat itself (which requires a ton of hard work and discipline), but doesn't anyone else find it odd that so many of these elite athletes - who I presume have been testing negative for PEDs all along - acquire some significant ailment affecting organs (and/or die) so young? My point is that it seems like it has happened far too many times for it to just be a coincidence. And *_EVERY ONE_* of the caught cheaters said they didn't dope/cheat before they admitted to doping/cheating. Every. Single. One.
Hi guys
Very happy 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
So close to the sub 12 seconds

Seems like his kidney's didn't like the steroids. At least he's got a world record.
