He was NEVER supposed to be this FAST! || How did he SNEAK into the 100M Olympic Trials?!

Published 2024-06-26
Coby Hilton is a #100meter #sprinting athlete in #trackandfield for USATF, that does not have a shoe sponsor. Yet he still made the Olympic Trials in the 100 meter dash and qualified for the semifinals.

  • Thanks for bringing up Hilton, Coach. I'd forgotten about him but with his hunched shoulder running style, he's hard to miss. Interesting story to say the least. And we all love underdogs.
  • I just honored for the opportunity to post a comment. I’m not even supposed to be here.
  • Love these underdog stories-not to take away from the stars-it’s a tough game-but people working at Walmart, or without sponsors in these trials have been a breath of fresh air. Aside from the high-school😳athletes..just some real grit and determination-always hoping one of these athletes will have a breakout! Kudos for telling their stories the Olympics still offer a chance for dreams and hard to fuel real achievement.

    I love how you feature stories on these unsung runners. Awesome
  • @WCANO626
    Do you wonder how many fast folks we never get to see because 'money'?
  • Fun profile coach. Cooper Bibbs tells me he’s a really good dude too
  • Why is it that most Americans think that, in athletics, most athletes competing at the Olympics are professional? They are not! The majority are just athletes who desire to be the best. They have full time jobs and fit their training/competing around that. They often exist because of fund raising from friends or their local running club or their village/town. Yes, they may get contracts to supply them with running shoes/athletic clothing and even expenses to help them travel to other cities or Countries. But they are not considered "Professional athletes". If that were the case, then all USA College athletes who attend College on Sports Scholorships, are also Professional athletes. They get their College tuition paid for, sports gear, coaching, travel expenses, sometimes accommodation, health benefits etc. They get far more than most "amateur" runners around the world, with the exception of a handful of TOP athletes in each sport at the top of their games, who manage to get large sponsors get a Sports Club.
  • i LOVE YOUR WORK. For 50 years I kept hoping someone would follow springing to the degree and extent that YOU do, and regularly!!! thank you thank you.

    Watching Hilton race next to Coleman, I noticed something interesting: The gold standard “perfect start” is 7 steps to reach the first 10 meters, which is what Coleman does. Hilton is able to reach the 10m mark in 6 steps, which is unusual. Many sprinters spend years cutting down from 9, to 8, to 7 steps… and for Hilton it takes 6. He is a very efficient sprinter!
  • I’ve never heard of this guy. Thx for bringing this up. The running style reminds me of high school. Love underdogs.
  • Great story, Coach Rob. Your insights are wonderfully observed. Respect.
  • Everything i'm watching of noah over 100 is geared towards that 200 wr. Remember he said it himself. He needed to be regularly sub 10 over his first 100 to crack that 200 wr. All i'm seeing over the past 2 seasons is him moving ever closer that. Any success he gets in terms of medals over 100 i believe are bonuses. I think noah is & has been for a long time laser focused on that 200 wr & i think this is the year he makes his biggest bid for it. And personally i think he'll do it. If not in paris then this year at some point. Thanks for the vid coach.
