t-and-f: Micheal Johnson

[Conway]

Michael Johnson is the greatest 200/400 sprinter in history .. Hands down .. He has won the World Championships at both distances .. He won the 200/400 double in the 96 Olympics (only man to do so) .. He holds the World Records in both distances with incredible times of 19.32 and 43.18 .. His place in history is secure as one of the greatest sprinters of all time ..   However, since 1996 while he has continued to be ranked #1 in the 400, he has not held that distinction in the 200 .. He has raced sparingly over the distance during that time .. Has suffered several loses in the event during that time span .. And has suffered injuries in this event during that time span ..  While he has remained "Superman" and invincible in the 400 since Atlanta, such has NOT been the case in the 200 .. Leaving him therefore no longer the #1 200 meter runner in the world even though he continues to hold that distinction in the 400 meters ..   Can we say that adequately describes both MJs past, his present, and how he will be looked upon in the future ????   Conway Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED]
