Because it's novel and unique. I'm definitely interested and will watch if it's available. Want to see more of this - it esp. makes sense after a major championships. Shades of Michael Johnson vs Donovan Bailey at 150 metres after Atlanta in '96. Won by Bailey of course.
Surely Warholm could run 21 low in a flat 200. He's got 10.4 in him, perhaps a touch faster. Mondo has gotta be faster than his high school PR, so he should be under 10.5. It'll be close. Slight lean to Warholm.
People are giving Mondo too much credit. I say he barely breaks 11. Maybe a 10.8 at best.
Dude do you know anything about sprinting? You don't have to be that good to break 11, and Mondo is very, very good. Did you notice how much quicker he is on the runway than the others?

Yes, I know sprinting. I agree Mondo is fast on the runway but that doesn't translate to 100m speed. He has to work on his start, phases, and speed endurance. He will probably do well up to 50-60m but I question how well he maintains his speed. Hence, 10.8 - 11.
Mondo's PR from 2018 was 10.57 with +2.1 m/s wind. Adjusted equals roughly 10.68 at 0 wind(simple adjustment calculator, may not be suuuper accurate). Mondo hasn't ran any sprint events since, but he's probably gotten more explosive than he was, so definitely faster now.
Maybe 10.4 potential?
Warholm ran 10.49 indoors in 2017(0 wind obv), and he ran 20.91 200m indoors as well the same year. Warholm hasn't run a short sprint since, but during the 2023 indoor european championship, he won the 400m flat(45.35) - and en route he crossed the 200m mark at 20.8, so I reckon Warholm should be capable of running the 200m in 20.5-20.6, so I'd say he should be capable of running 10.3 in the 100m.
Unrelated but I wonder how high Mondo could vault in artificial conditions like the INEOS 159 challenge.
Let him start in blocks and build up to a top speed down the runway without having to hold the pole, then just before he reaches the vaulting platform have a person/device hand him the pole.
Would require a bit of practice to get right and optimise but surely he'd reach a higher max speed in these conditions right?

Prediction: Warholm wins in 10.37, Mondo 10.43
I predict a 10.75 (Mondo) and 10.65 (Warholm). Both in basic. So +/- .10 depending on winds and such.
Remember, they aren't peaked and may have partied a bit after the Olympics.
Whoever believes the times recorded will be legit, I have some oceanfront to sell you in Kansas.
100% a PR exercise. Whatever the times will be, they will be total bull
This isn't some conspiracy bologna, it's really easy to generally verify a recorded track result. All FAT timing really is, is a camera recording with frames per second as it's timing measure. Between simply recording the race on your own and eyeing the frames per second yourself, and using a standard backup hand time, it's super simple to tell whether a result is or is not based on "reality".
How are those alien abductions going for you? Or are you getting to the bottom of that psyop, too? Keep chasing your moving targets, pal.
