#Tokyo2020 400 Meter Specialists ? Michael Norman x Sydney Mclaughlin @Mike_Norman22 x @GoSydGo

If you haven't been paying attention but the running community is on fire right now, especially performances by the Poland Men's 4x400 at the World Championship.  We are truly fortunate to watch greatness executed, this past weekend Michael Norman from the University of Southern California, broke the world indoor record in the 400 Meters with a blistering time 44.52 then anchored the USC Men's 4x400 to a new world Record of 3:00.77. In the women's 400 Sydney Mclaughlin breaks her own World Record Under 20 in the 400 meters with a time of 50.36. 

If you aren't familiar with names of Sydney Mclaughlin & Michael Norman it's time to get acclimated. Both have been torching the track scene since there High School careers. Providing me and many others the excitement of a 2020 Olympics. Both are young barring injuries it maybe safe to say that the United States should make some noise in Tokyo in the 400 Meters. 

Poland Sets the World Indoor Record in the 4x400 Relay

First reaction was like no way, what happened ? Like most running enthusiast i had to find the video to actually see what happened. As a proud of American there are some stapled events that for the 39 years i have been living American Track & Field does very well in the sprint relays.

The Polish team of Karol Zalewski, Rafal Omelko, Lukasz Krawczuk and Jakub Krzewina won in 3:01.77. That shaved 0.36 seconds off the previous record of 3:02.13, which was set by the United States in 2014. via Press reader

 BIRMINGHAM, England — The recipe for defeating the United States in a 4×400-meter relay is simple: hold the race in England. <---- I disagree with that statement. As a Coach and athlete myself we train for results, we train for execution, I am not shock this is a way of life, this is a mentality. Yes the track world and America is in awe on how this could happen, and I say very simple, best explained by the second leg, Rafal Omelko.

“It is a big shock and surprise for us,” Omelko said. “We were targeting the European record, but really did not expect a result like this and never dreamed about the world record.” As far as I am concern Dreams Are Tangible Goals.. Here in the States many are baffled some have gone as far and conducted research check out How Four Polish Guys Beat the US to Break the 4×400 World Record (3:01.77)  

The race was in control by the US, I will give always props and credit when it's due and earned. The first and second leg of Poland did their job keeping the US in eye sight keeping the race close and most important giving the 3rd & 4th leg an opportunity for victory. Below is the race let me know your thoughts ? US will be back as always but for now salute to the four men who didn't pull an upset they just worked hard and achieved the possible. Dreams Are Tangible Goals

Here’s a look at how the Poles and Americans stacked up, leg-by-leg:

#PRhyme2 @Royceda59 x @REALDJPREMIER Freestyle90 w/ @funkflex

It's Flex Fault ! Hilarious i can take personal claim that I slept on Royce DA 5'9.. Huh yes i admit I slept more like i always respected his catalog but I just never gave him a honest listen. When it comes to the art of freestyle I take it serious thou. For me there are two acceptable forms of freestyle. 

1st form of freestyle in Hiphop culture would be considered would be when an MC (Master of Ceremonies or Move Crowds or Mic Controller) off the dome or off the top ebonically speaking would be where one would spit  a rhyme that was organic and created in the moment.

2nd form of freestyle in hiphop culture would be considered when an MC would use pre-rehearse material, or written music on different beats showcasing delivery, cadence and most important how he or she rides the rhythm. 

Royce DA 5'9 in this freestyle showcases his genius by reaching into his book of rhymes proving he is a titan on the mic, plus it's always a pleasure to see one of the greatest DJ/Producer's still active Gangstar's own DJ Premier. When you get a chance check out Prhyme2 pre-order available now..

Jericho Jackson - Khrysis & Elzhi Are Jericho Jackson

Remove your hiphop card, don't consider yourself an Hiphop aficionado, lol. Honestly music is measured how it touches one's soul. Hiphop Culture has been with me through my existence, the soundtrack to my life. A product of the culture, I was influenced since my adolescence. The art form that originated in the South Bronx that changed the world. Since this is my blog, my opinion honesty is the best policy I wouldn't share music or recommend you to purchase something I don't co-sign. Furthermore your blog is good as your word nowadays. 

I am working on a ranking systems on how I review, so for now let's say out of 5 stars, I give this four stars. If you aren't familiar with Elzhi he is a member of Slum Village & Khrysis producer from the Rap collective from North Carolina the Justice league.
