Jeremy Wariner

I'm sure that most of you 400m dash fans are asking the same question that I am, "Is Jeremy Wariner Finished?". Jeremy Wariner won the 400m dash in the 2004 olympics and won another gold in the 4x400 relay. Also at the 2007 world championships he ran a 43.45 second 400, the 4th fastest 400 of all time and it looked like he would win another gold in the 400 at the 2008 olympics.However at a meet before the U.S. trials Jeremy was beaten by Lashawn Merritt and he was beaten by the same guy at the trials. Wariner's time at the trials was 44.12 seconds and I expected him to beat Merritt at the olympics. But when the olympics rolled around Wariner got 2nd by over 10 meters and his time was very sub-par. He once again lost at the 2009 world championships to Lashawn Merritt but this year (2010) Merritt was suspended for taking a drug that was on the banned substance list. With Merritt out of the way it looked like Wariner would dominate again but at the trials Jeremy didn't even finish the 400, pulling up lame after 80 meters. Now onto the question "Is Jeremy Wariner Finished?". The answer is no Wariner can and will bounce back because he definitely has the ability to. The thing that he needs to improve is his mental toughness which is the thing that I believe has been the main reason for Jeremy Wariner's recent defeats. Jeremy Wariner will bounce back and have a good chance to once again dominate the 400 meter dash.
