Very common to see very fast teenagers who top-out early then fade away. I know this because I too, was a very successful youth athlete. I was ranked in the top 8 in the world as a junior at one point, with a windy 10.38 and legal 10.40's at age 17, 18, 19 etc... But the demands of normal life, work, family etc ensured I couldn't put the focus and efforts in as needed to stay at my best. I did make a comeback at age 29 and hit some 10.50's and into my early 30's but we never the same as when I was 17-20 years old.

Good and informative video. There are several things "in play" here. For the younger sprinter age groups, one often sees the field divided by puberty. And even after most kids have entered puberty, the length of their growth cycle matters where larger people tend to continue growing over longer time spans. Anyway, we all have seen the "men among boys" featured in sporting events. Just typically speaking and broadly across most sports, precocious athletes most often peak early. This is true in weightlifting in classes where bodyweights are limited; true, too, in pro football where star running backs coming in to the NFL are often as good (yards per carry) as they will ever be within a year or so. One last comment that the more "skill" a sport has, the longer the potential to increase performance exists.
I am 11. I set silver in my country's U12 race at age 10 scoring 12.24s at finals which was my PR... But now at age 11 I qualified again for my country striking bronze in 11-12 year old racing, me scoring 12.1 sharp which I had my PR up by 0.14s which was amazing! I felt shocked and proud for myself to get 3rd, 1st place scoring 12.06s which was like a fifth of a step ahead of me.
When I was 10, I am 11 now. I ran 12.26s, which was the 2nd highest in my country. I qualified for my region and in the 100m sprints finals, I ran 12.24s which set my 10yo PR by 0.02s which is still amazing and I won Silver in my country. 1st place coming in at 12.2s sharp.
I never knew or thought about records per age. I remember seeing a lad younger than me (so had to be 13 or younger) run a 10.something and thinking he had that extra edge over the field. Just assumed he had trained and would go on to decent competitions. I knew I couldn’t have beaten him, and was running 400m that day which I won, but later that year I ran 11.2 in the 100 on grass - and I could only think back to that lad and be in awe of him and wondered if bothering to go training would’ve made a difference. Although I would’ve found it highly dull. Having said that, my strength was very short burst speed - ideal for my rugby and think it would’ve been better received if I had lived in the states. It’s like football/soccer. There were some truly talented lads at my school who would’ve just failed school and disappeared. When I went to collage I met a lad doing A-level PE and was an England player, yet he wasn’t as talented as those lads I once knew. He even asked me to go easy on him in his trials & demonstration assessment. It’s often about chance. Or who you know. I had it first hand at county trials for rugby. Was selected in the final roster after the trials; was asked my details, but then after seeing them huddle talking, they turned back and said technically I couldn’t play because I went to a school in the wrong location yet I lived in that county. Sure enough the next county never even let my try-out due to my home address. Some kid got lucky that day.
10.82 is crazy at 13 holy crap ! i was a sprinter in melbourne aus most of my childhood and teens . my p.b in my last 100m ran when i was 18 was a 10.93 thats my greatest sporting achievement by far , completely clowned by a 13 year old
I could run something little under 12s when I was in primary school (12-14 years old) without coaching. Was also competing in long jump and shot put, winning many tournaments for my school without professional training or a coach. I just liked to run, jump over stuff and throw things. Volleyball and Basketball teams captain as well. Then I went to a private school on the other side of the country, didnt have time to jump around and run all day, but continued to eat 5 meals a day... I put on like 17KGs of weight in 3 months and the rest is history...
I peaked in high jump in the 10th grade at 6"5' and my 12th grade yr I couldn't clear 6"4". I was pretty heart breaking my senior year considering I thought I would be Jumping 7"0" by then but it didn't turn out like that even though its still my high schools sophomore HJ record it still bothers be 23 years later.
Lots of factors to consider. Jumping that high that young, if you had been led down the correct path I'm sure you could have got 7 foot. Awesome to still hold a record tho!
@@samothemano Peaking early is a hard pill to swallow I am sorry you had to go through that hope you were able to get over it because must of us don't.
@@supersubzero it wasn’t that thought tbh. I found high jump a very lonely sport. And I was never under any illusion that I was ever going to be the best of the best. I was a good high jumper but not elite. So when I gave it up, I started playing rugby and found a team sport that I really excelled and had a great time playing.
@@samothemano Most track and field sports is like 90 percent physical 10 percent mental. People like you to believe it is mostly mental but that isn't the case. That is why there are weight classes in boxing. Alot of track and field is like this you just need to have the talent and work hard.
It's often just down to the rate at which some boys mature physically towards adolescence versus the majority. Simple example, at 11, I was the fastest over 100m in my year at school...but the following year, I was overtaken by two other boys both of whom had by then started to sprout facial hair etc when I was still waiting for the first hair under an armpit and elsewhere haha. This difference in growth rate is why the vast majority of child prodigies in sport exist and why they then disappear again when adolescence catches up for everyone and the playing field is levelled out again. It is only then that one can really see who the most talented are.
One thing that happens, often, is that the kids who were winning easily earlier on find it hard to cope when people they used to beat are now catching up.
I left this comment on the Noah Lyles video on Total Running Productions site but it remains relevant to this video: 'His coach is on point and has the correct understanding. That training target below your current potential with a gradual close towards peak personal ability is the way to go. There is almost no point in forcing a teenage prodigy to push to their maximum ability at that age (for example). It is much more holistic and goal-oriented to sub-maximally develop and prime the machinery for that end-point to be attained when the physical form and neurodevelopment would support such an outcome. Sprinters usually achieve this between their mid-20s to early 30s. Prior to this, it serves near to no purpose to train and function close to your maximal output and inherently increases the risk of injury that would almost certainly reduce the upper limit of potential ability. Any Achilles' tendon rupture or hamstring tear would almost certainly reduce the output and result (sprint times, peak velocity) that could have been delivered otherwise. Often the hardest part is the psychological and mental reframing that is required in individuals who are so highly driven in such a pursuit. Sometimes, it can be to their detriment.' Young people should not be discouraged by their results or standing relative to others until the peak point of personal musculoskeletal, neurological and psychological development has passed. The curve of development and peak demonstrates a great degree of variation and the ultimate result is not reliably predicable with a great degree of confidence. If life provides a moment to reflect, it is that lesson that should be passed on the the younger peoples... keep pushing and don't look over the fence too much.
You said it best. Very few people actually get it. Moderate to late bloomers often become the greatest because their bodies and minds have reached the point wherein they can take the maximum "load". In school I would come last in sprints but by end of college I was among the quickest and the fact is i DIDN'T train much.
I believe I was your 36th subscriber last week, now you're over 100 this week. I was one of Jared Owen's first 100 subscribers. Hopefully you are as successful as him. It seems like you will be. For example, this video is awesome.
You should do some about 11 and 12 year olds, I'm friends with a kid named Gunner Hammet he's broken 3 national records a cool kid really. We play on the same football team and he indeed is one of our star players.
i really hope boonson lives up to the hype, dude ran a 10.06 at 17 and just ran a 10.13 in olympic heats. maybe he is the next 18 yo to go below the 10 sec barrier
My coach, who has trained track athletes for nearly 30yrs, is convinced that even relatively 'average' genetics can get a male running 100m in under 11sec. Most of it comes down to hard work, proper training and staying injury free, not genetics. The thing to remember with these kids is that, initially, they were untrained and competed against other untrained kids their age. This means that genetics would be a bigger deciding factor. Their genetic potential was therefore noticed and they kept being trained and coached, making their times improve even more.
I was running a 12 flat at 6'4" 270 first year of track during my junior year of high school. Being I had just lost 70lbs and had only really just begun my journey into fitness over the course of a year, it was a big boost to keep pushing. People definitely have it in them to do wayyy more than they think they can.
I’m sorry but your coach is lying to you… Sprinting is 90% genetic, any sprinter at international will tell you they were the fastest in there class before even training. You have to have the fast twitch type 2b fibres already there
@@y0Fusionnyou can change the ratio of your fibers though with training. I think you're seriously underestimating how many people (kids included) shoot themselves in the foot by just not moving a lot throughout their day. That complete lack of activity outside of workouts can make it seem like you have bad genetics.
@@heightdevil You can change the ratio but only to a certain degree. Sprinters have a gene which only a small amount of the population have. Someone with that gene who trains hard is smoking someone who trains without that gene any day of the week
@@y0Fusionn That’s a common misconception and here’s why you’re mistaken. At school level, most kids haven’t had any track training and when they compete at compulsory school sport’s days, since none of the kids have had any training genetics will be what decides the results not training. The genetically gifted kids will go on to get noticed, join the track team and that perpetuates the myth that genetics is the main factor as most of the kids on the track team have great genetics and were “scouted”. No kid joins the track team because it sounds fun. At the elite level, you’re talking times of under 10.3. Training is 90%, genetics is 10%. It’s now the reverse of school days; all sprinters on the field have had the very best training and coaching (this gets them well under 11sec) and now the difference between sprinters is going to be in other factors such as genetics, mental focus, level of injury etc. It’s at the elite level (sub 10.3), where genetics really matters. The type 2b fast twitch muscle fibres argument isn’t as simple as you say. For the record, I have a massive broad jump (just over 3m) and a vert jump close to 80cm. This was from a vert of barely 50cm and broad of barely 260cm a few years ago. I improved dramatically with years of plyometrics and sprints. I have no shortage of type 2b fibres. Despite this, my 100m times aren’t reflecting it and my coach and I have discovered it’s because of poor speed endurance and faulty acceleration technique. I’m working on these and my times are dropping. You’re also not taking into account that some kids just happen to sprint with really good technique, before having had a single training session whereas others have to learn proper technique. This goes into biomechanics, but at the end of the day speed is a skill and 90% of that skill can be learned, practiced and developed. So, training can get almost any guy to around 10.8sec. From there, everything needs to go next level.
The VAST majority of teenage star sprinters do not become senior star sprinters. Only a very small minority of champion teenage sprinters have gone on to make an Olympic final. Ato Boldon has spoken about this subject many times.
I agree. It comes down to having all the variables in check, good coaching, nutrition, talent, and staying injury free. Even then your chances are still slim
You should do the same for the 5k. My 6 year old comes to parkrun with me most Saturday’s. I thought he did exceptionally well with a PB of 28:55, beating a lot of the adults. But then I looked up the record. A 6 year old managed to go sub 20 mins in the 5k!
I played soccer with a kid named Anton Jamir. I was a mid distance runner and always thought i was a mediocre sprinter cuz id just get matched up vs him losing to him by significant margins. But after seeing that he ran a 10.2 sec 100m and my pr was 11.5 secs I didnt feel as bad. I felt he shoulda made it to the olympics but he just kinda vanished off after HS 2003.
His best time in HS was 10.65 per easy Google search. There was a kid from my HS who went to school with my niece who was running 47s in the 400 but I think had issues. He was a beast as a RB also. He didn't do anything with it. Could have got a full ride with that talent.
I coached sprinters for many years, and I always said I did not care who the fastest 15 year olds were, because the kids who are just starting to hit their stride at 18 are statistically superior over the long term. Fred Kerley, anyone?
you should update the list, the two fastest under-20 athletes are Letsile Tebogo who ran in 9.91 in 2022 and Issam Asinga in 9.89, under-20 world record and also South American record
I was a huge ninja warrior fan growing up as a kid, there was always a few elite contendors that would make reapparances on the show in hopes of becoming the next ninja warrior. One of the athletes that i still remember despite it being like 15 hears was a gas station worker named shingo yamamoto. Was really hoping the one mentioned in the video wad the same one but it seems unlikely
As a previous high level sprinter. I can tell you that the percentage of becoming a professional is so low. Many people have the talent but the problem is a lot of people peak at 15,16. They get injuries, mix with the wrong people or don’t take training serious enough. In order to make it you need to have all of the variables in check and keep yourself injury free as long as possible. Soon as you get one you are never the same
A 6 year old being faster than I've ever been. That is insane. I'm certainly not fast when it comes to speed, but considering my size it just sounds insane for any 6 year old to be faster.
I am three and a half years old right now and I managed to get my first sub 7 second time on 100m. It was unofficial though, because the person who clocked the time was busy looking for boogers in his nose. But i swear on my albino Tiger that its a true story and I just lost the Guinness paper where it says WORLD RECORD. I also played THE FLASH in the TV series because of it. That way they didnt had to use special effects. Its really true and it happened.
I always wondered how kids actually get scouted. I was a quick lad back in 7th/8th grade.... I remember chatting with a classmate who ran sub-11 seconds at age 12/13 and how he needs to train, go to competitions, etc. During PE class, we're always about neck-to-neck... but I never trained. I spent my after-school at my buddies playing N64 or Starcraft. I wonder how many other top-tiered athletes are out there who just were never noticed, never given a chance, or just fell through the cracks.
I think being part of an athletics club is the way to start. There will be those that don’t have access- but most of is in the western world will be able to find a way if we have the determination.
Kiryu is still an amazing athlete and ran a 100m in 10.03s this year! Wind legal! His fifth best time ever! He is also one of the most consistent athletes (except for the last two years, but COVID may have played a role in it).

But now at age 11 I qualified again for my country striking bronze in 11-12 year old racing, me scoring 12.1 sharp which I had my PR up by 0.14s which was amazing! I felt shocked and proud for myself to get 3rd, 1st place scoring 12.06s which was like a fifth of a step ahead of me.
Good
2:48 dude looks like 23 here not 13
yeah please do more of them for events like 200 and 400, also mention the wind aided marks as well.
Will do and I did, if I didn't say it was wind aided, it wasn't
@@JumpmanTF you never went through the list of wind aided age records in the video, what do you mean?
Sorry, I misunderstood! I'll try mention wind aided next time, unless it's too much work haha
@danielhobson2124 he has 3 of them from 17 - 19. it should be a good thing as it will make the video shorter and easier for him to make
As a track junkie this was very refreshing 😊
great video youre hella underrated (maybe for next video instead of fastest 100m its 200m?)
Don’t take this the wrong way but I totally love this 70s style of production!! Sound, font and framing! Keep it coming!
In 1985, I was running 12.46 aged 14 at 5' 2". The times these guys run is crazy. I'm 53 now and running mid 14s. BUT 5' 5" !
When I was 10, I am 11 now. I ran 12.26s, which was the 2nd highest in my country. I qualified for my region and in the 100m sprints finals, I ran 12.24s which set my 10yo PR by 0.02s which is still amazing and I won Silver in my country. 1st place coming in at 12.2s sharp.

I'm subscribing because you don't use those awful clickbait titles that TRP uses. Good video and keep it up!
I remember at high school in New Zealand, one of our boys ran 11 sec flat. We were all amazed at that.
I never knew or thought about records per age. I remember seeing a lad younger than me (so had to be 13 or younger) run a 10.something and thinking he had that extra edge over the field. Just assumed he had trained and would go on to decent competitions. I knew I couldn’t have beaten him, and was running 400m that day which I won, but later that year I ran 11.2 in the 100 on grass - and I could only think back to that lad and be in awe of him and wondered if bothering to go training would’ve made a difference. Although I would’ve found it highly dull.
Having said that, my strength was very short burst speed - ideal for my rugby and think it would’ve been better received if I had lived in the states.
It’s like football/soccer. There were some truly talented lads at my school who would’ve just failed school and disappeared. When I went to collage I met a lad doing A-level PE and was an England player, yet he wasn’t as talented as those lads I once knew. He even asked me to go easy on him in his trials & demonstration assessment.
It’s often about chance. Or who you know. I had it first hand at county trials for rugby. Was selected in the final roster after the trials; was asked my details, but then after seeing them huddle talking, they turned back and said technically I couldn’t play because I went to a school in the wrong location yet I lived in that county. Sure enough the next county never even let my try-out due to my home address. Some kid got lucky that day.
love it! Did you do a reverse list? maybe top 20 or even top50 runners and what they looked like before age10?
I coached a kid that ran exactly 11.16 aged 13. He was class.
10.82 is crazy at 13 holy crap ! i was a sprinter in melbourne aus most of my childhood and teens . my p.b in my last 100m ran when i was 18 was a 10.93 thats my greatest sporting achievement by far , completely clowned by a 13 year old
I could run something little under 12s when I was in primary school (12-14 years old) without coaching. Was also competing in long jump and shot put, winning many tournaments for my school without professional training or a coach. I just liked to run, jump over stuff and throw things. Volleyball and Basketball teams captain as well.
Then I went to a private school on the other side of the country, didnt have time to jump around and run all day, but continued to eat 5 meals a day...
I put on like 17KGs of weight in 3 months and the rest is history...
I peaked in high jump in the 10th grade at 6"5' and my 12th grade yr I couldn't clear 6"4". I was pretty heart breaking my senior year considering I thought I would be Jumping 7"0" by then but it didn't turn out like that even though its still my high schools sophomore HJ record it still bothers be 23 years later.
Lots of factors to consider. Jumping that high that young, if you had been led down the correct path I'm sure you could have got 7 foot. Awesome to still hold a record tho!
My high jump journey was similar. I jumped 1.8m at the age of 15 and then just stalled and even started to regress. Gave it up not long after.
@@samothemano Peaking early is a hard pill to swallow I am sorry you had to go through that hope you were able to get over it because must of us don't.
@@supersubzero it wasn’t that thought tbh. I found high jump a very lonely sport. And I was never under any illusion that I was ever going to be the best of the best. I was a good high jumper but not elite.
So when I gave it up, I started playing rugby and found a team sport that I really excelled and had a great time playing.
@@samothemano Most track and field sports is like 90 percent physical 10 percent mental. People like you to believe it is mostly mental but that isn't the case. That is why there are weight classes in boxing. Alot of track and field is like this you just need to have the talent and work hard.
It's often just down to the rate at which some boys mature physically towards adolescence versus the majority. Simple example, at 11, I was the fastest over 100m in my year at school...but the following year, I was overtaken by two other boys both of whom had by then started to sprout facial hair etc when I was still waiting for the first hair under an armpit and elsewhere haha. This difference in growth rate is why the vast majority of child prodigies in sport exist and why they then disappear again when adolescence catches up for everyone and the playing field is levelled out again. It is only then that one can really see who the most talented are.
Great concept for content.
Great video, nice job on the compilation 👍
One thing that happens, often, is that the kids who were winning easily earlier on find it hard to cope when people they used to beat are now catching up.
I left this comment on the Noah Lyles video on Total Running Productions site but it remains relevant to this video:
'His coach is on point and has the correct understanding.
That training target below your current potential with a gradual close towards peak personal ability is the way to go. There is almost no point in forcing a teenage prodigy to push to their maximum ability at that age (for example). It is much more holistic and goal-oriented to sub-maximally develop and prime the machinery for that end-point to be attained when the physical form and neurodevelopment would support such an outcome. Sprinters usually achieve this between their mid-20s to early 30s. Prior to this, it serves near to no purpose to train and function close to your maximal output and inherently increases the risk of injury that would almost certainly reduce the upper limit of potential ability. Any Achilles' tendon rupture or hamstring tear would almost certainly reduce the output and result (sprint times, peak velocity) that could have been delivered otherwise.
Often the hardest part is the psychological and mental reframing that is required in individuals who are so highly driven in such a pursuit. Sometimes, it can be to their detriment.'
Young people should not be discouraged by their results or standing relative to others until the peak point of personal musculoskeletal, neurological and psychological development has passed. The curve of development and peak demonstrates a great degree of variation and the ultimate result is not reliably predicable with a great degree of confidence. If life provides a moment to reflect, it is that lesson that should be passed on the the younger peoples... keep pushing and don't look over the fence too much.
You said it best. Very few people actually get it. Moderate to late bloomers often become the greatest because their bodies and minds have reached the point wherein they can take the maximum "load". In school I would come last in sprints but by end of college I was among the quickest and the fact is i DIDN'T train much.
I believe I was your 36th subscriber last week, now you're over 100 this week. I was one of Jared Owen's first 100 subscribers. Hopefully you are as successful as him. It seems like you will be. For example, this video is awesome.
I'm glad you understand the Bromell Situation.
My friend is 14 and he runs 100m in 10.75s, with no training.
I was not expecting Thailand in there at all. What a pleasant surprise that came out of my home country!
keep an eye on him and give him your support, he's truly an astounding athlete!
great video man keep it up
Would love to see this kind of video for other events such as High jump!
What a unique idea for a video. I have always wondered about age-group winners and whether they kept running. Great job!! Now, how about the girls??
I already made it. Haha.

You should do some about 11 and 12 year olds, I'm friends with a kid named Gunner Hammet he's broken 3 national records a cool kid really. We play on the same football team and he indeed is one of our star players.
00:39
At 6years old he runs fast then me! I’m 12💀
I did 12.46 at 14 and thought that was good... These guys are on a totally different level!
If you run under 14sec at this age this mean that you are verry fast
@@nocturne6291 yeah I was the fastest in my year group. But got slower quickly when I stopped exercising as much lol
Great and informative video! Something that was missing in sprinting! Thank you! ❤
Great vid!!👍👏
i really hope boonson lives up to the hype, dude ran a 10.06 at 17 and just ran a 10.13 in olympic heats. maybe he is the next 18 yo to go below the 10 sec barrier
My coach, who has trained track athletes for nearly 30yrs, is convinced that even relatively 'average' genetics can get a male running 100m in under 11sec. Most of it comes down to hard work, proper training and staying injury free, not genetics. The thing to remember with these kids is that, initially, they were untrained and competed against other untrained kids their age. This means that genetics would be a bigger deciding factor. Their genetic potential was therefore noticed and they kept being trained and coached, making their times improve even more.
I was running a 12 flat at 6'4" 270 first year of track during my junior year of high school. Being I had just lost 70lbs and had only really just begun my journey into fitness over the course of a year, it was a big boost to keep pushing. People definitely have it in them to do wayyy more than they think they can.
I’m sorry but your coach is lying to you… Sprinting is 90% genetic, any sprinter at international will tell you they were the fastest in there class before even training. You have to have the fast twitch type 2b fibres already there
@@y0Fusionnyou can change the ratio of your fibers though with training. I think you're seriously underestimating how many people (kids included) shoot themselves in the foot by just not moving a lot throughout their day. That complete lack of activity outside of workouts can make it seem like you have bad genetics.
@@heightdevil You can change the ratio but only to a certain degree. Sprinters have a gene which only a small amount of the population have. Someone with that gene who trains hard is smoking someone who trains without that gene any day of the week
@@y0Fusionn
That’s a common misconception and here’s why you’re mistaken. At school level, most kids haven’t had any track training and when they compete at compulsory school sport’s days, since none of the kids have had any training genetics will be what decides the results not training.
The genetically gifted kids will go on to get noticed, join the track team and that perpetuates the myth that genetics is the main factor as most of the kids on the track team have great genetics and were “scouted”. No kid joins the track team because it sounds fun.
At the elite level, you’re talking times of under 10.3. Training is 90%, genetics is 10%. It’s now the reverse of school days; all sprinters on the field have had the very best training and coaching (this gets them well under 11sec) and now the difference between sprinters is going to be in other factors such as genetics, mental focus, level of injury etc.
It’s at the elite level (sub 10.3), where genetics really matters.
The type 2b fast twitch muscle fibres argument isn’t as simple as you say. For the record, I have a massive broad jump (just over 3m) and a vert jump close to 80cm. This was from a vert of barely 50cm and broad of barely 260cm a few years ago. I improved dramatically with years of plyometrics and sprints.
I have no shortage of type 2b fibres. Despite this, my 100m times aren’t reflecting it and my coach and I have discovered it’s because of poor speed endurance and faulty acceleration technique. I’m working on these and my times are dropping.
You’re also not taking into account that some kids just happen to sprint with really good technique, before having had a single training session whereas others have to learn proper technique. This goes into biomechanics, but at the end of the day speed is a skill and 90% of that skill can be learned, practiced and developed.
So, training can get almost any guy to around 10.8sec. From there, everything needs to go next level.
Great video
congrats on this vid blowing up lol
The VAST majority of teenage star sprinters do not become senior star sprinters. Only a very small minority of champion teenage sprinters have gone on to make an Olympic final.
Ato Boldon has spoken about this subject many times.
I agree. It comes down to having all the variables in check, good coaching, nutrition, talent, and staying injury free. Even then your chances are still slim
@@y0Fusionn A lot of teenage stars are ahead developmentally. They fall off the top when others catch up.
sachin dennis is my cousins boyfriend he is going threw a leg injury right now
To anyone watching this and thinking it's to late for them. I only started sprinting at 18/19 and am now ranked top 50 in the world at 23 :)
What sport did you do before sprinting? And what time did you run in your first season?

There is a guy in my track and field club who is around 47 or so, and he runs a low 10, I think it is crazy…

Shingo Yamamoto is nuts! I've heard of Sachin Dennis before this video. He was crzy!
You should do the same for the 5k.
My 6 year old comes to parkrun with me most Saturday’s. I thought he did exceptionally well with a PB of 28:55, beating a lot of the adults. But then I looked up the record. A 6 year old managed to go sub 20 mins in the 5k!
No one cares about 5k.

I played soccer with a kid named Anton Jamir. I was a mid distance runner and always thought i was a mediocre sprinter cuz id just get matched up vs him losing to him by significant margins. But after seeing that he ran a 10.2 sec 100m and my pr was 11.5 secs I didnt feel as bad. I felt he shoulda made it to the olympics but he just kinda vanished off after HS 2003.
He got shot r.i p
@@oliveoil3917 what COUNTRY???
He was just a black kid from the US. No idea y he dindt go pro with a 10.2 100m in HS.
His best time in HS was 10.65 per easy Google search. There was a kid from my HS who went to school with my niece who was running 47s in the 400 but I think had issues. He was a beast as a RB also. He didn't do anything with it. Could have got a full ride with that talent.
NO, there have been a number of youths that were amazingly fast and never improved much when older.
Willie Washington is now a NCAA shot put athlete.
Different guy I'm certain
Did any one observe that audio and video not showing same person?
Bromell was the most consistent 9.83s 100m adult sprinter ever.
Good analysis and really good food for thought coz I personally would always wonder as to what happens to these exceptional prospects
You should do this style of video again, but with 800m or 1600m instead
Brommell casually slowing down there towards the end of his 9.84...saving himself for turning 20?🤯
I coached sprinters for many years, and I always said I did not care who the fastest 15 year olds were, because the kids who are just starting to hit their stride at 18 are statistically superior over the long term. Fred Kerley, anyone?
very interesting video
TH-cam gods at work.
Maybe there could be an updated version of this video, to include Gout Gout?
Gout don't got a 100m world record, yet.
it's funny that a 14 year old boy can beat the Women's 100m world record.
They can't. A 15 year old can though.
Puberty is a big deal.
Trinidad in the house thank you bro,,
Hasn't Letsile Tobago just broken the under 20 record?
Running fast is one thing. Winning world competitions without doping is another.
you should update the list,
the two fastest under-20 athletes are Letsile Tebogo who ran in 9.91 in 2022 and Issam Asinga in 9.89, under-20 world record and also South American record
One day, when more records change, can't really update a video once it's out.
that 12 year old japanese guy was crazy, never seen a lead that big
i Got 2 silver medals in national competitions when i was 10-11 in Hurdles. 2 years later, i could not even qualify for the same event.
I was a huge ninja warrior fan growing up as a kid, there was always a few elite contendors that would make reapparances on the show in hopes of becoming the next ninja warrior. One of the athletes that i still remember despite it being like 15 hears was a gas station worker named shingo yamamoto. Was really hoping the one mentioned in the video wad the same one but it seems unlikely
As a previous high level sprinter. I can tell you that the percentage of becoming a professional is so low.
Many people have the talent but the problem is a lot of people peak at 15,16. They get injuries, mix with the wrong people or don’t take training serious enough.
In order to make it you need to have all of the variables in check and keep yourself injury free as long as possible. Soon as you get one you are never the same
also you dont really get enough money unless you are at the very top. Most guys just change sports
A 6 year old being faster than I've ever been. That is insane. I'm certainly not fast when it comes to speed, but considering my size it just sounds insane for any 6 year old to be faster.
I am three and a half years old right now and I managed to get my first sub 7 second time on 100m.
It was unofficial though, because the person who clocked the time was busy looking for boogers in his nose. But i swear on my albino Tiger that its a true story and I just lost the Guinness paper where it says WORLD RECORD. I also played THE FLASH in the TV series because of it. That way they didnt had to use special effects. Its really true and it happened.
I always wondered how kids actually get scouted.
I was a quick lad back in 7th/8th grade.... I remember chatting with a classmate who ran sub-11 seconds at age 12/13 and how he needs to train, go to competitions, etc. During PE class, we're always about neck-to-neck... but I never trained. I spent my after-school at my buddies playing N64 or Starcraft.
I wonder how many other top-tiered athletes are out there who just were never noticed, never given a chance, or just fell through the cracks.
Starcraft > running. You probably a very successful in your career so you did the right thing
I think being part of an athletics club is the way to start. There will be those that don’t have access- but most of is in the western world will be able to find a way if we have the determination.
wouldn't sub 11 at 12 be wr lol
Getting into deep sub 10 s was a peculiar human ability irrespective of age group performance.
Kiryu is still an amazing athlete and ran a 100m in 10.03s this year! Wind legal!

He is also one of the most consistent athletes (except for the last two years, but COVID may have played a role in it).

Kids like that, more often than not, never become what we think.
