Jeez....The kids a freak...I can only guess it's jealousy on here...
First time I’ve seen a reasonable post from you. Yeah, I’m pretty sure that none of the LRers ripping him ran 1:46 as a 19-year old and he’s currently in the top 10 on the all-time U.S. junior 800m list.
Maybe people are not jealous of him and simply clowning him because he"s just that, a clownshow. When people clown Antonio Brown do you conclude its jealousy?
Flatt looked smooth today--Centro-like, even--but he was coasting in every race. A relative at the meet told me we'll have to wait a few weeks to see his top-end form when he chases 1:46.45 at an event in the northeast. In today’s 800m, the young Rebel crossed the finish line in a stroll and after showboating a bit, nearly Flattened a race official. No blood, no foul. I’ll try to upload the race video if there’s any interest.
Even as a critic I agree with this take. The only think I will say in rebuttal is that he has had longer to evolve than other life forms due to him being absolutely ancient.
"1983 Maryland 3A state high school championship meet. I was working as a sports writer at the time and witnessed the most amazing performance I've seen in my 52 years. Northern High School senior Rodney Giles opened the meet by wiping out a 120-yard deficit on the anchor leg of the 2-mile relay with an astonishing split of 1:46.7...When the day was through he also held state titles in the 440 (47.8), 880 (1:51.0) and Mile (4:17.8)." -- unknown source.
Rodney was no fluke. He ran against Brian Jaeger at the Millrose Games Dream Mile prior to his outdoor season and later that summer won the US Junior National 880 title in 1:49. He twice ran 1:48 during that summer (Golden West was one of them). 2x state champ in cross country

Let me know when he takes off his singlet and prances around the infield after getting into it with his coach. Are there any videos of him loudly breaking wind during an examination with his doctor?
