Jesus balls. I would chop off up to three of my toes to have somebody like this on our team. Somebody like that makes things sooooooo easy. And it's fun to watch.

I think it's the training. Only a handful of them are strong enough to murder an indoor 300m. Adding 33% to that race is a bridge too far for them. On the other hand, they've never *really* emphasized it, just said they've wanted to. So maybe this year they'll actually do it.
