Maybe he could have just been plain tired, burned out. Lane 1 will do that to you.

In America we know the kids are not as physically challenged as they could be and also in terms of education we need to really pay attention to the next generation.

No one asked an artist who was great in his 20s and 30s why he was still painting in his 40s and 50s.

If I'm able to run 49 seconds, I'll be really blessed. 'Cause it is really hard on the body. I'm not gonna even pretend that I can be at that level, 'cause I'm not gonna hurt myself doing this. I'm gonna make it fun.

A lot of the guys now are 400/200 type of runners. I don't think, being a 400-meter runner, you can sustain long-term performance in the event with just speed type of training. No one has ever been able to do it. So I think it is harder for them to stay in condition year round, especially for big meets, end-of-season major competitions and things.
