過去 10 年間、私たちは 400 メートルで 44 秒の壁を下回るアスリートを数多く見てきました。キラニ・ジェームスやラショーン・メリットから、アキーム・ブルームフィールドやアイザック・マカワラまで、全員がそうだ。また、2016 年のオリンピックでマイケル ジョンソンが 43 秒 03 秒で走ったとき、マイケル ジョンソンの世界がウェイド ヴァン ニーケルクに破られるのを見ました。 2016年以来、スティーブン・ガーディナーがこの種目で定着し、2017年にはファン・ナイケルクに次いで銀メダル、2019年世界選手権では金メダル、そして昨年の東京オリンピックでは金メダルを獲得するのを見てきました。オレゴン州ユージーンで開催される2022年世界選手権が近づくにつれ、男子400メートル競技はさらに競争が激化しており、表彰台に上るだけでなく、ガーディナーから現世界チャンピオンの座を奪う可能性を狙っている選手も何人かいる。それでは、2022年の世界選手権の400メートルでメダルを獲得する可能性が高い選手を何人か見てみましょう。 Instagramでフォローしてください: https://www.instagram.com/thefinalleg/ 00:00 イントロ 01:06 スティーブン・ガーディナー 02:33 マイケル・ノーマン 03:44 キラニ・ジェームス 04:55 マイケル・チェリー 05:54 マシュー・ハドソン=スミス 06:49 ランドルフ・ロス 07:26 チャンピオン・アリソン 08:13 ジョナサン・ジョーンズ 09:01 ウェイド・ヴァンニーケルク 09:58 – ザンブラーノ、マクワラ、フェリス、コリール 11:47 – ゴールド、シルバー、ブロンズの私のおすすめ

Norman is my favorite
Only Norman running sub 44 two times this year (43.60 and 43.56). James SB is around 44.1 and Gardiner SB is around 44.2.
Lets not forget Champ Allison he is a sleeper pick for Silver or Bronze
I want Norman to win no lie. People have been talking smack about him saying he doesn't perform at Champs.
1. He was injured at 2019 worlds.
2. He just had a bad championship in Tokyo.
I want to talk more about the 2nd point. Every athlete has had at least one bad major Champs.
Bolt in 2017
Felix in 2013
Fraser Pryce in 2011
Tyson Gay 2008
Norman is still young. He can still prove himself. If Wayde or Steven don't win, I'd like Norman to win to shut up all his haters.
I'm a huuuuuge Wayde Van Niekerk fan, but I'm gonna try to be realistic. If you look at his 100m and 200m times from 2020 till now. You'll see that they are some of his best times ever.
Like his 200m straight in Boston last year. Ye he pulled up, but judging by how close he was to the eventual winner Jerome Blake. You see that Wayde is very close to his prime. In terms of speed at least, because Jerome ran 19.89 to win and Wayde's best time is 19.84.
He would've come very close to that had he not pulled up. He ran 10.10 in 2020, which is one of his fastest 100s ever. He ran 20.11 with a +2.1 tailwind last year. He ran 20.08 with a +1.8 around the same time in 2016.
I think Wayde is almost back. I believe he has his prime speed back, but not the strength. He's not even close strength wise, because a 400m guy like him with those 100m and 200m times should be running sub 44.
The best I see Wayde doing in Eugene is 44.2-44.3. If he runs any races at DLs or Continental Tours, I see him running 43.90 max. I think we'll see Wayde running sub 43.5 again, but maybe after 2 or 3 years.
I honestly hope he medals at Worlds, but that's a tall order. I want him to win, but bronze is the best he could do and even that's a huuuuuge stretch.
He will be back and someday. Just not this year
What?! Kirani James. It’s between Norman and Gardiner and the winning time will be 43.4 or 43.3. Norman is looking the best, Champion might get a medal if he can replicate that 43.7.
I'm rooting for Norman but very realistic about Gardiner's ability to peak for championships. Michael has tremendous talent and I hope he's able to do what we al know he's capable of. Gardiner, on the other hand, always seems to come in with less than stellar times but run well when it counts. I'm actually a fan of both athletes but I'm an American which is why I favor Norman. I also won't count out Ross or Allison as medal contenders. Champion finished ahead or Randolph at USAs, but Ross is very consistent. I wish all of these men the best of luck!
Even though he is not the world leader. I feel like Gardiner is gonna be hard to beat. It seems like he never really runs extremely fast before major championships, and he paces himself really well during the rounds. Kirani James has been really consistent and I feel like he's really back in shape and won't leave without a medal. Don't get me wrong though, we can't ignore the man who has the two fastest times of the year.
These are my picks provided that everyone stays healthy and on the same trajectory:
Gold: Michael Norman- Most improved as far as body/fitness and race strategy. As long as he doesn't overthink his races, he outruns everyone for the gold and a new PR.
Silver: Steven Gardiner- his last 4 years has been impeccable and he's very talented. He's going to press Norman all the way to the line.
Bronze: Kirani James- James has been good for a long time, and at 30, puts him in prime position to grab a medal.
Glass slipper falls off for the collegians. Van Nekirk is under-raced.
My sympathy is with Michael Norman. But Gardiner will make it again. He delivers, when it counts.
Gardiner, Norman, Allison.
Great to have WvN back on track.
Your Money is on James. Mines is on Norman $$$
Champion Allison could come up with a huge surprise. Gardiner should win easily, though.
No way two people beating Steven Gardiner. Gardiner for the Gold.
Man your predictions are way way off
Kirani James has won a medal in every other Worlds he's competed in so far in his career, and he didn't get a medal in 2019, so… 👀
My prediction for the final:
1. Norman (wl) 43.4
2. Allison (he's fast currently) 43.7
3. Gardiner (world champion, and probably hasn't tried yet) 43.8
4. Ross 44
5. James 44
6. Cherry 44.1
7. Van Niekerk (wr holder) 44.2
8. Hudson-Smith 44.3
9. Dos Santos (if he runs) 44.4
I am going to pick the guy that hasn't lost a 400m race since 2017. 5 freaking years!!!!
Van Nieker is back and also the American guys who ran 43.70 in us trials must not be counted out…… Nothing is given even for Gardiner…. I don't see James beating both Gardiner and Norman
Once Gardiner is healthy no one is beating him. He is championship tested and proven.
Norman has the potential but somehow fails at major events like we saw at the last Olympics. Gardiners more relaxed and is looking much better. I think he will take Gold. Van Niekerk unfortunately hasn't been selected by Team SA so cannot represent his country.
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN CHALLENGE GARDINER WONT BE IN THE RACE:KERLEY AND BEDNAREK
King Kirani James for the win! The next year Grenada has someone else coming as well☺
My money is on Gardiner he is really good
Gardiner seems very…uhhh…flamboyant
I can't see anyone beating Gardiner.
Gardiner/James for 1st, Allison/Norman/Wade…in that order. Ross? Somehow I don't see fire in his eyes when I watch him run…maybe he'll surprise me 🤔
Michael Cherry isn't even a sub-44 runner. He won't medal
This is gonna be one of the interesting race and keen to see what Gardiner and Norman can do.Kirani has also potential of being in the top 2.On the other hand,I pray that Wayde brings out his all and surprises us🫣.I wish he had stayed with Tanie.
Steven Gardiner is out of World Championships apparently due to UTE tendon inflammation
Steven Gardiner announced he unfortunately will not be competing at worlds due to tendon inflammation.
Who are your picks for the top 3 now?
Great work, appreciate the hustle. But unless he’s injured Gardiner takes this. On a different level imo.
Gardner is out !!!!
Jereem Richards from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Unfortunately, Gardiner today announced that because of injury, he will not be participating.
Now that Gardiner is out, if Norman gets it together he should be the winner but he tends to messes up at major championships. But let’s see.
Please do a video on the women 100mh. (if you haven’t already) I personally think that’s one of the most anticipated races for the WC. And as always very unpredictable—but I think Alaysha Johnson might disrupt the party even tho Camacho Quinn is hard to beat and keni looks good this season;not to mention Brittany Anderson and Tobi. It’s going to be a cracker lol
Too bad Steven Gardiner isn't running. WVN will shock people. That 44.5 was easy. He had another half a second in reserve. I see him running sub 44. Will it be enough to medal win, depends if Norman chokes, which he has done quite often once challenged. Kirani will be Kirani and the two collegiates will challenge. Cherry hasn't run so we do not know what he has on store for us. My picks:
WVN
Kirani
Champion
Norman to choke (I want him to win but Asafa let me down too many times and Norman has done the same every single time).
Wayde is back he wil be 1st
Gardner won't be there
Norman is Good suppose the favorite
James is Good
Van Niekerk is back 🇿🇦❤
Norman wins. Allison or James 2nd.
Van Niekerk will surprise the world again 🤐🤐
Gardiner is out. Norman wins 43.3
Judging from heats , it’s a Norman vs Wade Van . Wade hinted for a New World record. Wade is back … he’s not here to lose . I’d say 43. 45. If not 43.00
Steven Gardiner for the Gold 🪙
