That final 100 was so impressive with that huge kick at the end. He wanted to show the world he had more in the tank. His motion is so smooth and perfect!

That extra gear kick at the end was impressive. Nice arm swing too

[JohnHoulgate]

If you watch Victor carefully, you see that he runs a perfect straight line down the straights - not a movement wasted. This is great form for one so young.

[pahtar]

He's got a very economical stride, no wasted arm or body motion, not overstriding. Outstanding!

[Whippy]

The drive, concentration and determination this little guys shows is way beyond his years! He will go far in every aspect of life. What an athlete!! ❤ Never was a child more aptly named. Great job, Victor. 😊🥇

11 sec??? So used to seeing a hundredth of a second difference or even less that little boy has a bright future

[davidedwards]

thats a sub 5:30 mile at 8 years old. I hope he stays at it and the coaches keep him healthy. At this age it's all about having fun and just going for it.

[DavidThomas]

when you think that most adults cannot run the 1500m in TEN minutes puts this incredible achievement into perspective !!!!

[redd]

It's incredible but he reminds me so much of Sebastian Coe. The running action the smoothest running style and kick at the end very impressive you look up seb Coe Zurich 1979 world record. Almost same kind of race

[lolmarcos]

That child is the human equivalent of Secretariat! Wow! Amazing!
