the track from the youngest future stars to the current
stars of the sport of track and field. Real celebration
of community. We see that a lot at these events here in New
York places like the Armory. So we step aside give
the full attention to the fastest girl in New York.
Nine year old kids here on the track at Icon, stadium
and Lane 5. Abigail
Riley. Now emerging
with Blair yours, trying to track her down but it will be
the wind there
Riley.
And look at our headband C do c was lightning fast and there's
something really special. I just think about what I started
running when I fell in love with the sport. Seven years old
to have an opportunity like this at nine years old, turn on
the same track that Usain Bolt ran on that
will later, see. Sydney McLaughlin, I should so special
for these kids and I really hope that she's enjoying
soaking in this moment and one of the things I love about
being back in the warm up barriers that these kids get to
warm up,
interact with the world Lyles is the devil the debit balance
and that's part of what make its makes it special. This is
when they decide hey I want to do track and field for a long
time
but you don't have the heart to tell her that wasn't And a wind
legal race. No, we shouldn't tell you, they don't care. You
will notice, you will notice the kids, never fall. Start,
the kids never fall, start.
Well, let's look at the start list for the fastest Boys in
New York, clearly Victor, Willis needs to be disqualified
because his favorite track of who I'm rooting for.
Hey Nate, here we go. I love that. I love that.
We got some Michael Johnson and I say Wilson. All right, Connor
Gail, love it. A lot of Usain Bolt's, no surprise there. Carl
Lewis in there.
Noah Lyles were sunk it in Lane 3. This is
Oh, he's got his game face on
since will. This is my guy lazy,
but
let's see the drive face,
but you guys, you know, you talk about what other sport do
you have a situation, like, you guys just described where these
kids are competing with their Heroes? Yeah, this is just so
rare and when you get to really hear it, but when the young
lady
was talking to the crowd, the love and support that they gave
to her, she's never going to forget that moment and like
Otto said, this is when they decide. Well, I continue to be
in the sport and
this is So special. I'm so happy that I support does this
every pro track and field athlete will tell you. The
moment I fell in love with the sport for me. It was watching
the 1991 World Championships
watching Carl Lewis
versus Mike Powell in the long jump. That was it for me, even
though it wasn't a Sprint. So these kids really fortunate to
have this opportunity. Let's see how it goes. Come on lady
and let's see if what she says. Hold if it holds true if they
won't fall start.
Oh don't talk. Don't judge them.
The fastest boy in New York
and icon Stadium. Mmm.
He went immediately to the back.
Well looks like Yannick Walker is the leader here, but here
comes below
and Victor Willis doing his best auto Bolden impression
finishes. Well back,
there's a question.
My question, how many people in America can run 1482 for 100
meters? I'd love to see some stats on that. And here's what
the kids always remind us. Sometimes we get caught up in
the times, you know, the kids are never worried about
the time, I'm did I win
doesn't matter what the time is, what the wind is and we can
remember that from them, not necessarily girl was faster.
I was gonna say it but I was like I don't know if you guys
noticed it but you know when I was that age I was being rude.
That is so so
I absolutely love that but I also want to mention what you
just Said to when you're able to be free and run and nothing
about times you and fastest, I think Devon Island. It's it's
not worried about track so much and he did really well today.
