Good to hear he's pissed and feels like he can run much faster. He needs that Gold.

He ran that backstretch faster than a lot of peoples open 100M.

Yes but it's a flying 100m split, a lot faster than an actual 100m

That first sentence from Norman lets me know that he a gold medal contender . He isn’t afraid of being honest and himself , that’s important to being a champion. A few years ago , he would have answered like an ai robot with a generic response. I think he is a real shot this Olympics

Proof that at the elite level, performance matters more than reputation...

I was half listening to this half cursing about just seeing the Athing final only to see Michael react to that 800m race in real time 😔

I love his answers! He’s very easy to talk to. He had a challenging technical race!! He’s driven and talented! Can wait to see him put together the perfect race in Paris!!

im excited for him, i feel like he can run faster in paris. He seems humble and pretty nice man!

I appreciate Michael Norman's comments on accountability for his performance and his commitment to improving it. His issue stemmed from not being challenged in previous meets, and he needs to make some adjustments, which I hope will work. His competitors in Paris will be much more challenging than what he experienced on Monday, but as long as he runs each heat as if it were a final-like Grant Holloway, Sydney McLaughlin, and Levrone-he will be just fine. Bring home the gold, Michael!

As a fan, it's frustrating to watch his sporadic performances since 2018. The way Quincy Hall ran him down in the final straight away was disturbing.

Go get that GOLD my dear Michael Norman xx

I remember a video with him and rai Benjamin training and the coach was telling him to manage his speed and he didn’t listen then or now

Thought about the same thing, he most definitely would’ve won had he chilled a little more on the backstretch. Crazy he would do that with his experience I wasn’t expecting that from him.

His reaction to Athing 💔

Michael should have had more races to deal with the kinks but it sends a clear message to athletes that one or two races before major events will not cut it...the big 3 women in Jamaica are about to get a reality check this weekend about resting on their laurels....

I think that Michael is just not race sharp yet, but I believe that he will fine tune his race strategy by Paris. I believe that he was thinking about dropping a sub 44 race, and he may not be quite ready to hit that mark yet. This could be a blessing in disguise.... because he will be hungry and focused in Paris.

I don't think Michael's opponents fear him, which is something important that is missing.

SRR got 3rd in 2008 Olympics because she went out fast and had nothing left. 2012 she let others pass and then she ran them down for gold. Norman better clean up and focus on the medal and not the tîme. Good Luck in Paris!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

He said she was out early on She literally got tripped you bozo.

He supposed to be a 200/400 double he is settling for less!

He definitely wanted to run 43. "Do you feel comfortable being a 400 meter runner" as he splits 10 flat on the back stretch. Stupid questions

My favorite athlete

I’m not convinced he will even medal in Paris. I just don’t think he has the mental toughness to run a 43 in Paris.

He already had a chance to get it done in Tokyo and he couldn’t follow through. He is talented, but doesn’t have the mental toughness of Quincy Hall.

It’s awful what happened to Athing Mu…. even Michael Norman was surprised and wondering what happened to her.

Salty 😂😂😂😂

It wasn't really about race strategy. Quincy was just better.

@blainenewton7188

Quincy may have been better, but it IS about racing strategy to a large degree. Michael Norman has run 43.45, so his PB is way faster than everybody else's. If you go out too hard in a 400m, you'll tank down the home stretch. Ask Matthew Boling, who wrote the book on it. You have to plan the race and then execute it to maximize performance.

@@blainenewton7188 as a former 400m runner, you hit the nail on the head. Michael ran his first 200 in 20.9. With the backstretch in 10.0 flat. Way too fast!

He needs to be tougher and grow some balls if he wants to win gold!

What an ignorant assumption! This is the first and only time they’ve ever raced. To make a claim that Michael Norman (pb: 43.45) could never beat Quincy Hall (who just ran a pb of 44.17) based on ONE race is ridiculous af especially considering that Norman only had 2 races prior to these trials. Hopefully, Norman works with his coach to fine-tune the strategy before the Olympics which is what actually matters.
