His 60m split in the OLY 100m Final when he ran 9.79 was 6.41, hope he also dips his toe into the 200m a couple of times in the outdoor season & lowers his 20.92 (+1.3) PB from '22.
The split times are honestly wrong. You can see from the overhead cameras and photographs that Thompson was a couple of tenths ahead of Kerley but they were given the same split time (Both 6.41). Also you can see that Simbine is in 3rd but he is given 7th Place (6.46) at 60m.
@kdilla28 facts all the greats ran their pbs in the 100 while they were in insane shape in the 200. If he doesn't get on that soon then they'll always be someone who will be better especially at championships
Remember guys, Stephen Francis can coach 200m which he demonstrated with Elaine Thomson. The goals right now for kishane is to get the start of his race perfect to set himself up for the last 40. This is Franno’s masterpiece
Thats fair that he as pulled out of a races, especially after the Olympics. But he does seem to be more suspectable to injury so I cant blame him. I think he'll line up though and execute a good 60m race.
Would be interesting to see if he plans to run more races indoors or if this is a one off race. If he runs more, I can see him getting down to 6.4ish this year in his first indoor season. 6.3 is still extremely fast even if he has already done it in an outdoor split. What do you think he can run in this first 60m race though?
With Kishane's current abilities in the 100m, I think 6.4 high to 6.6 low in the 60m is a good shout on what he could do in Kazakhstan in the next few weeks. I think shorter sprints like the 60m will be a major asset to a runner of his build and allow him the opportunity to work on areas like his start or his middle phrase of the race. I think the bigger question with Kishane is what he can do beyond 100m and if endurance is a problem for him or is it the lack of relaxation in his running style in his primary event.
Yea I agree with him being within that range. I think for first race out, he is probably around 6.5/6.6 and if he gets a few more races, then 6.4 will come. But even despite his build. I think he has a pretty good race overall in the 100m, I would actually like to see him in more 200s as that would help with the 2nd half of his race which for now seems to be where he struggles most, as you note his speed endurance may be an issue. I think relaxation can be fixed as he gets more experience and comfortable competing against guys who will put pressure in the final 40m of the race. But well see!
@TheWayWithKhu Akeem Blake got a bronze running 6.43 and Kishane is much faster than Akeem coming out the blocks and drive phase and a much better top end speed.. And you think with those numbers which Akeem ran faster you think Kishane is slower?😂😂😂
Love the 60m, While Thompson has not run any fast 60m times he does have some outstanding 60m split times run during a 100m. In Paris Thompson's 60m split was 6.44s, so I think he's going to be a contender. With Thompson in the mix indoor worlds is going to be incredible.
Yea definitely has some great splits outdoors. Not exactly sure if he plans to run a full indoor season, I doubt he will, but would love to see him go all the way!
I’m not ‘one of those stats guys’ (SHOUTOUT @nsxperformance and PJ!!!) but I do know a bit about splits myself. Kishane split 6.36 from 0-60m in his 9.77 at Trials and then 6.41 in Paris. His final 40m is actually his ‘weak’ point as his close at Trials was (albeit easing) ‘only’ 3.41 and his close in Paris - whilst tense - was ‘only’ 3.38. Lyles’ best final 40m is 3.35, if I remember correctly. Coleman’s best 60m split is 6.32 from Doha 2019 so not a MASSIVE gap between them, especially as Kishane might have more in the tank! So I definitely think Kishane’s capable of sub-6.40 indoors but definitely not in January, and I don’t think he’s going to run World Indoors so we’ll probably not see that kind of time this season from him (at least, indoors). I just hope he stays healthy all season and doesn’t injure himself AGAIN. That’s the best outcome here, imo. Same for everyone else; Lyles and Jacobs, as well as De Grasse (,Kishane) and Bromell.
Really! You don't think he will run? I wouldn't be surprised, but I think considering he announced and this is not close by, Astana is legit in Asia, I would guess he is getting a good payday and may just use it as a training session. But your right, none of us really know haha!
@samuelzobo4961 you are judging based on his outdoor splits, indoors is a whole different game, and this will be his first time ever running on an indoor track
I'm in no way a statistician or anything of the liking but i think he's probably gonna run aorund 6.5 flat, considering he won't have much competition and it will be his first meet of the season
Yea 6.5 seems realistic. But in first race out, anything from 6.5 to 6.6 would not surprise me. I dont have many expectations. Even a 6.7 wont tell me much about what to expect in his outdoor season
@neme-g7iv3d I Like what you did there announcing that you’re not a statistician then proceed to match Kishane with a Number that doesn’t fit the caliber athlete Kishane is…
This has more to do with familiarizing him to compete in that part of the world traveling and gaining experience to perform in WC indoor and outdoors in China
Good call out here. Knowing that the Diamond League has some meets in China, and also the World Championships are in Tokyo. Get him more familiar with long travel times early on so he at least a bit more adjusted when the season gets going.
Not guaranteed. Some athletes who start their season too early with indoor championships can end up performing poorly by August/September. Christian Coleman is a good example from last year.
Top 5 all time is 6.41 or 6.42, so yea I pretty much agree he can get down there. No idea if he plans to run a full season but would be great to see him do it!
I can't be excited by Kishane in general. He is injury prone and he is already too bulky to challenge the 9.6s like people see it. He may have already peaked or go to the 9.70-9.73 but i don't see the 9.65s coming out of him like many believe.
Maybe, I think a 60m race is not too much of an injury risk. I actually would have more concern for him simply traveling all the way out to central Asia just for the 60m race as opposed to being too worried about the actual race itself. But We'll see how he performs and shows up. What time do you think he'll run?
@kdilla28 if you are seeking the truth the fastest time and all the races of the year matters the most, if you are a win at all cost american then a very tiny fraction of 1/100 of a second in one race matters to you ! To be ranked number 2 when your average races , number of wins and the fastest time is above all for the year ?
Noah was the fastest man in the world in 2024, and I’m not even talking about the Olympic Games final and his time of 9.79. Thompson, on the other hand, clocked a 9.77 with a favorable wind of 0.9. Noah ran a 9.81 with an unfavorable wind of -0.3. This means Noah didn’t even achieve his best performance during the 2024 Olympic final. So, if we want to analyze this thoroughly and take the best time into account, we also need to consider the effect of favorable or unfavorable wind. Therefore, Noah is indeed the fastest man in 2024.
@samuelzobo4961 so based on your reasoning If Kishane ran a 9.77 all time world record and Noah ran a 9.79 Noah would be the all time world record holder despite running a slower time? I swear people be trying to cope too much. 9.77 is official, 9.79 is official, 9.77 is a faster time than 9.79 so 9.77 was the fastest time of 2024 so Kishane was the fastest 100m sprinter in the world in 2024. Stop trying to factor in wind times to cope, both times are still legal despite the different winds
@ Yes, yes, I totally think like that. What’s the point of running a sensational time in a single round? But here, Thompson did better, because at least he finished second. Powell, on the other hand, would run the best times in individual rounds. He clocked 9.72, 9.74, but in the finals, he was never able to run 9.7 seconds. That’s why you can’t just look at who ran the fastest time in a single race to decide who was the fastest man in the world for a given year. It’s meaningless. The goal is either to win the final or to run the fastest time and win the final. That’s what Bolt did, which is why he was the ultimate GOAT. He really was the GOAT. Now, if you can’t win the final but you had the best times earlier in the year, it’s meaningless. Plus, you have to factor in the rounds: one round versus three rounds. That’s why, even if Blake almost broke Bolt’s 19.19 in 2011 with his 19.26, it wouldn’t have carried the same weight. Bolt did his 19.19 after six rounds, while Blake ran his 19.26 in just one round. And once again, I’m being totally consistent because, in my opinion, it’s the one who wins the final who is the fastest man in the world. It’s not about favorable or unfavorable wind. I only brought up wind because they were arguing it’s about who had the fastest time of the year. In that case, I told them that if we’re considering wind, then Noah also ran the fastest time in 2024 with favorable conditions. But since none of those arguments are really meaningful, the most important thing is who performed the best in the final, in an international competition, or at the Olympics. It’s simple.
Seville wasn’t injured when he ran 9.81; that was just his best performance. The issue with Seville is that he doesn’t have full control over his body. He’s capable of delivering excellent performances, but mostly in single rounds. We saw the same thing in 2023-his time in the earlier rounds was better than in the final. In the 2024 final, Seville got injured after 80 meters. Before that, he simply couldn’t run as fast as he did earlier in the competition during the first 60 meters. Proof of that is that Noah, Thompson, and Kerley were ahead of him. He got injured because he pushed too hard, trying to run even faster.
@@samuelzobo4961He was actually injured before the Paris final.After the semi final many people saw him wince in pain as he picked up his shoe.He had aggravated his injury that he had to get treated in Germany a month before the Olympics.
I disagree with you when you say that Thompson lost the race because he lacked experience. This argument could have been valid if Thompson hadn’t run a 9.79. A 9.79 is literally the fourth fastest time in Olympic history. Thompson’s issue wasn’t stress or inexperience; it was his poor reaction time. The poor reaction time is what caused him to “only” run a 9.79. For instance, if you look at Kerley, there’s only a 0.02-second difference between Kerley, Lyles, and Thompson. Why? Because Kerley had a reaction time of 0.100, which is vastly different from Thompson’s 0.176. But the thing you’re overlooking is that Noah also had the worst reaction time of the final, at 0.178. Yet, he still managed to beat Thompson. Indeed, their reaction times aren’t very different, but this means that, in reality, both of them have roughly the same speed over 100 meters. They’re equivalent in that sense. In fact, if you think about it, Thompson was literally 0.04 seconds ahead of Noah at the 60-meter mark. He clocked 6.40, while Noah clocked 6.44. But it’s in the last 40 meters of the race that Noah destroyed Thompson. Over the final 40 meters, Noah is exceptionally strong. He’s literally third all-time in that split, with a 3.35, only behind Bolt and Gay. And another thing you’re overlooking: Thompson was leading the race from 30 to 95 meters. So the argument that he lacked experience is hard for me to accept.
Lyles did not “destroy” Thompson in the last 40m. Thompson “tightened up” toward the end which caused him to decelerate while Lyles accelerated; even so, Lyles only won by .005s. That’s not a “destruction.”
@ so if you want Thomson "destroy" Noah in 60 and Lyles destroy him in last 40 meters It's good now and I already say that they have the same speed so I dont understand your comment
I respect the disagreement for sure. I think running a time is one thing, but how you run it is another thing. His 9.79 in that Olympic final was the toughest race he ran that entire year. His 9.77, his 9.8s, his 9.9s were all way more relaxed and comfortable that that Olympic final. He didn't have any pressure in the 2nd half of the race in basically all his other races. In that Paris final, it was a high pressure moment which he never experienced yet, and just ever so slightly tightened up and didn't execute the last 20-30 meters which essentially cost him the race. I think your actually pointing out why Noah executed in the big moment, but Kishane didn't as he should have. Despite worse reaction time and a relatively poor first 60m where he was behind, Noah remained relaxed like he had done in previous championships (Doha 2019 200m, Budapest 2023 100m) and was able to come away with the win. He had been in similar situations and was more comfortable when it occurred again. Kishane on the flip side was leading the entire race from 10m-90m but Fred was still right next to him the whole way and provided pressure he literally never experienced before. That little bit likely cost him the race to Noah. He tightened up ever so slightly the final meters. I think the key is Kishane is insanely talented so he was almost guaranteed to be in the mix for the medals no matter what, but the different was the slight lack of experience. Considering he ran 9.77 super relaxed back at trials as well as 9.80 super relaxed in the Paris semis. Notice that Kishane (1st Global 100m final) Kenny (1st global 100m final) and Oblique (injured) were the only 3 men to not run their best race of the year in that Olympic final. Everyone else who was healthy and had experience at the big stage ran a PB or SB. But obviously this is my opinion and analysis. We well never truly know what EXACTLY was the reason why he didn't win gold we can only go off the info we have. Always appreciate you bro! 💯
If you are seeking the truth , the fastest time and all the races of the year matters the most, if you are a win at all cost american then a very tiny fraction of 1/100 of a second in one race matters to you ! To be ranked number 2 when your average races , number of wins and the fastest time is above all for the year ? This speaks to the bias and unfair advantage of some countries at World Athletics.
So why even bother having WCs/OLYs then?! Should've not bothered having them in '24 (and going fwd) & just awarded Kishane & Sha'Carri fastest man & woman in the world at the end of '24 since they had the fastest times 🙄
His 60m split in the OLY 100m Final when he ran 9.79 was 6.41, hope he also dips his toe into the 200m a couple of times in the outdoor season & lowers his 20.92 (+1.3) PB from '22.

@@samuelzobo4961 Source? Trust me bro.
@actual_random you're not superior to fully automatic light timing.
Kishane doesn't need to do 60s. He's good enough. He needs to do 200s. That will make him dangerous in the 100m.
All the greats did both the 100m and 200m. If he wants to be in that category, he needs to get in the deuce!
@kdilla28 facts all the greats ran their pbs in the 100 while they were in insane shape in the 200. If he doesn't get on that soon then they'll always be someone who will be better especially at championships
Agreed. I’m actually curious why he doesn’t compete more Outdoor 200s. Especially for his size. But he’s pretty solid out of the blocks
@@seensay2132because he’s injury prone. An injury prone 100 meter athlete should definitely stay away from the 200.

This is very good for Kishane. He will be hard to beat going forward as long as he stays healthy.

Franno is definitely a master of his craft. Hoping that he helps Kishane stay healthy and executing at the best of his ability
I will only believe when he lines up. Last year I was totally frustrated with the constant amount of no shows. Hopefully this year will be different.
Some athletes are less durable than others. Sydney McLaughlin is a good example -- doesn't run often, but when she does....
Thats fair that he as pulled out of a races, especially after the Olympics. But he does seem to be more suspectable to injury so I cant blame him. I think he'll line up though and execute a good 60m race.
He ran 6.36 (+0.9) in the olympic trials so he probably had 6.38/6.39 potential indoors, placing him 2nd of all time behind coleman
Would be interesting to see if he plans to run more races indoors or if this is a one off race.

Maybe, maybe not. Hopefully he is able to come back stronger this year and execute in that final.
I disagree with you when you say that Thompson lost the race because he lacked experience. This argument could have been valid if Thompson hadn’t run a 9.79. A 9.79 is literally the fourth fastest time in Olympic history. Thompson’s issue wasn’t stress or inexperience; it was his poor reaction time. The poor reaction time is what caused him to “only” run a 9.79.
For instance, if you look at Kerley, there’s only a 0.02-second difference between Kerley, Lyles, and Thompson. Why? Because Kerley had a reaction time of 0.100, which is vastly different from Thompson’s 0.176. But the thing you’re overlooking is that Noah also had the worst reaction time of the final, at 0.178. Yet, he still managed to beat Thompson. Indeed, their reaction times aren’t very different, but this means that, in reality, both of them have roughly the same speed over 100 meters. They’re equivalent in that sense.
In fact, if you think about it, Thompson was literally 0.04 seconds ahead of Noah at the 60-meter mark. He clocked 6.40, while Noah clocked 6.44. But it’s in the last 40 meters of the race that Noah destroyed Thompson. Over the final 40 meters, Noah is exceptionally strong. He’s literally third all-time in that split, with a 3.35, only behind Bolt and Gay.
And another thing you’re overlooking: Thompson was leading the race from 30 to 95 meters. So the argument that he lacked experience is hard for me to accept.
Lyles did not “destroy” Thompson in the last 40m. Thompson “tightened up” toward the end which caused him to decelerate while Lyles accelerated; even so, Lyles only won by .005s. That’s not a “destruction.”
@ so if you want Thomson "destroy" Noah in 60 and Lyles destroy him in last 40 meters
It's good now and I already say that they have the same speed so I dont understand your comment
I respect the disagreement for sure. I think running a time is one thing, but how you run it is another thing. His 9.79 in that Olympic final was the toughest race he ran that entire year. His 9.77, his 9.8s, his 9.9s were all way more relaxed and comfortable that that Olympic final. He didn't have any pressure in the 2nd half of the race in basically all his other races. In that Paris final, it was a high pressure moment which he never experienced yet, and just ever so slightly tightened up and didn't execute the last 20-30 meters which essentially cost him the race.
I think your actually pointing out why Noah executed in the big moment, but Kishane didn't as he should have.
Despite worse reaction time and a relatively poor first 60m where he was behind, Noah remained relaxed like he had done in previous championships (Doha 2019 200m, Budapest 2023 100m) and was able to come away with the win. He had been in similar situations and was more comfortable when it occurred again.
Kishane on the flip side was leading the entire race from 10m-90m but Fred was still right next to him the whole way and provided pressure he literally never experienced before. That little bit likely cost him the race to Noah. He tightened up ever so slightly the final meters.
I think the key is Kishane is insanely talented so he was almost guaranteed to be in the mix for the medals no matter what, but the different was the slight lack of experience. Considering he ran 9.77 super relaxed back at trials as well as 9.80 super relaxed in the Paris semis. Notice that Kishane (1st Global 100m final) Kenny (1st global 100m final) and Oblique (injured) were the only 3 men to not run their best race of the year in that Olympic final. Everyone else who was healthy and had experience at the big stage ran a PB or SB.
But obviously this is my opinion and analysis. We well never truly know what EXACTLY was the reason why he didn't win gold we can only go off the info we have. Always appreciate you bro!

If you are seeking the truth , the fastest time
and all the races of the year matters the most, if you are a win at all cost american then a very tiny fraction of 1/100 of a second in one race matters to you ! To be ranked number 2 when your average races , number of wins and the fastest time is above all for the year ? This speaks to the bias and unfair advantage of some countries at World Athletics.
So why even bother having WCs/OLYs then?! Should've not bothered having them in '24 (and going fwd) & just awarded Kishane & Sha'Carri fastest man & woman in the world at the end of '24 since they had the fastest times 🙄
