In the time it takes to watch that 10 or 11 second video clip, I’m 100M away to the right.
How does it compare ?
When I was a Freshman in college, the track coach brought me to the spring football practice after our workout. I had never seen a full American football game. The track coach and football strength coach were friends. They asked me to run a 40 yard dash with the football team wide receivers. I thought they meant 40 meters and I did not know what a wide receiver was.
In my shorts and running shoes, after track practice, I ran 4.33 electronically timed. The football players were really nice about it. When I say “it” I mean losing to a “thin” girl. Anybody who has played real football knows what a legitimate 4.33 looks like. It ain’t bHanky hobbling up the beach.
First time I ever lost at the 40 yard dash was to a man named Calvin Johnson at Athlete’s Performance in Tempe, AZ. He leaned and beat me. Granted he’s the size of fathead Walter and his lean was about 7-feet long.
Hi Fuckos ! 🙋♀️
Christian Coleman is the world indoor record holder for the 60m with a time of 6.34s. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.12s. Imagine if you had dedicated training, and had tried the 40-yard dash for a second time without being exhausted from a full track practice before doing so? You could have really gone places, JustPlaneJane.
Now let's all check out this breakdown between men and women in terms of percentage disparities/differences between the sexes in the 60-800m sprint times, using the world record holding times to form a basis of comparison:
M = Male fastest time ever.
F = Female fastest time ever.60m:M: Christian Coleman 6.34s
F: Irina Privalova 6.92s.
M/W Disparity: 9.15%
100m:M: Usain Bolt 9.58s.
F: Florence Griffith-Joyner 10.49s.
M/W Disparity: 9.50%.
200m:M: Usain Bolt 19.30s.
F: Florence Griffith-Joyner 21.34s.
M/W Disparity: 10.57%.
400m:M: Michael Johnson 43.18s.
F: Jarmila Kratochvílová 47.99s.
M/W Disparity: 11.14%.
800m:M: Donavan Brazier 1:42.34s.
F: Jarmila Kratochvílová 1:54.68s.
M/W Disparity: 12.06%.
^ Women are an average of 10.48% slower than men.
Oh, wait - I forgot to list an event using the fastest male/female times I could find online:
40-yard:
M: Chrisrian Coleman: 4.12s
M: JustPlaneJane: 4.33s.
Disparity: 5.1%.
Imagine that, JustPlaneJane: even though the fastest women are an average of 10.5% slower than the fastest men, you managed to be only 5.1% slower than the fastest male 40-yard dash time, held by the male 60m sprint world record holder.
Like Walter Sobchak said, that's next level for a woman. Incredible stuff, really. Would you mind posting that video you have of it? I'm sure a lot of us would get a kick out of you answering that question.
