hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have another new breakdown for you today it's
going to be a comparison video of michael norman and noah lyles when they ran the 200 meter uh it's
actually an upset where michael norman beat noel house and i think there's a lot we can learn from
you know both of them in this race as always if you like the information in this video go ahead
and like the video subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and comment down below any
recommendations that you might have for us in the future we'll hop right in the video right
now so as you open the video here i just want to say that i don't want to take anything away
from michael norman i think that he did a great job in the actual run and i also don't want to
make it seem like noah lyles did anything you know totally out of the ordinary in order to
lose this race but i do think there's a couple key things that that both that happen uh within
the race that just shows that it's like any given race you got to show up every single time
you get these opportunities because you never know when somebody's going to come and edge you out uh
so you can see here we have to the start i really like noah start just like how i love his stride as
well how he just is able to get so much extension there does a great job of being able to really get
very very long within those legs you know michael norman does a good job as well but but no allows
just has a unique ability to create certain amounts of extension within the hip i think
it's just super unique to him i do think michael norman stayed in his drive phase a lot better we
could see michael norman right here we could see no allows right there i'll go and rewind it back
for you guys so you can see exactly what they look like at the beginning looking at the same
people there michael norman noah lyles look at how they're they how noah allows us get that actually
section on each one of the the feet and then michael norman i think he just stays in that
drive phase a lot better you can see his head kind of out in front of him and and really is
driving here and does a great job of gaining ground through that drive phase we could see
you know noah lyles is a little bit more upright in through here where michael
norman's still driving through driving through and he catches up a little bit because of that
right and then i think what happens is no lyell starts to get almost too much acceleration going
where then when he gets to the turn he has a little bit of a difficulty here with this turn
right so he starts to slow down right around in here which gives michael norman the ability to
take that inside uh because of of his overall speed that's what it seems like is he had to
kind of slow down a little bit in order to catch himself so now he's getting back onto his horse
after kind of slowing down a little bit and now we can see some of the greatness of noah lyles
which is just that that ability to really close on people right get that great extension there on
on each one of those steps and that unbelievable turnover that he has right because of his ability
to really get that leg back behind him but then drive that foot right up and through and that
knee up and through so quickly is just something that's so amazing that that he's able to do so
naturally that's where uh that speed comes from is that that a unique ability to get that that
tremendous turnover speed even though his legs are so far back behind him he's only 511 right
so he when he runs it looks like he's like six two because of how long his stride is and how
much distance he takes up per step but yeah he's only five eleven all right michael norman
on the other hand has does the uh does a great job being able to get to that lead and then he allows
noah lyles to kind of catch up so right here he's just doing a great job of running his race he's
not concerned with what noah lyles is doing he's staying consistent on what he's trying to do what
his goal is so he's doing a great job saying with his foot each one of his steps are nice and long
he's getting that full extension with his leg out in front of him he's staying nice and relaxed here
even though i know he feels no allows coming he's still staying nice and relaxed and staying focused
on what the goal is where you can see noah lyles is really trying to stress here right you can see
no laws really doesn't want to lose to michael norman at all because he knows what's going to
end up happening which is all the result that you know we we saw and the reason i'm even making this
video in the first place is because michael norman was able to pull out this upset no allows did not
want that to happen and you can see how he's going and really pushing that head really trying to work
so what happens is that night and we recently did a video of christian coleman and showing what
kristen coleman did against noah lyle's and noah lyles won and we see the opposite right so notice
that what happens is he gets too far extended out in front of him so now his feet are getting
too high up and he can't control his spine very well right because if he would have stayed in the
same position here this whole time he would have been able to catch him but what happens is he gets
pretty laid into it and now all of a sudden he starts to lose that spine stability his feet gets
too high his spine starts going all over the place and because of that noah lyles is or sorry michael
norman is able to maintain his composure through this and then he gets that reach there at the end
to be able to nudge him where because and no louse looks like he's about to fall over but if noah
lyles was able to stick with the the same speed the same stride the same you know overall posture
i think he would have been able to still win this um but but he ended up lunging out too far
and lost control which gave michael norman the ability to extend out and get him now i think
michael norman has been doing a lot of great work recently we all saw that he ran 986 very
you know not too long ago i think at this time i mean he still obviously is an elite runner even
being on the track right here being able to beat noah lyles um he's the top guy but i think even
more so now i think he's been able to work on his top speed i think he's been able to make
improvements within his start so um i would love to see this race again with you know both of them
because i i think that it would it would still be an amazing race i think these guys are stunned are
two of the best within the 200 meters um you know if not just in the united states in the world and
so i think that when they race again it's going to be absolutely you know a tremendous race um but
you know i think that that what happened here was a little bit of a poor start with noah lyles and
didn't do a great job with the turn was able to catch him back up with in the the straightaway
but lost a little bit of the form there at the end to make it so michael norman was able to to really
uh to get that victory i think michael norman did a great job with his start i think he did a great
job through the turn and then just ran his race at the end and that's what made him able to beat
noah lyles and all props to him that's why i said you know i think it was a unique race i don't want
to take anything away from any of them i don't want to put you know throw any shade on it at all
i just want to be able to show kind of some some of the things that happened that that made a big
difference in how the outcome of this race ended up being all right um i still think you know if if
i still didn't know allows probably the best of 200 meters that's my my overall opinion would
