here’s a comparison between Ross’s run and Chris Johnson’s run from 2008.
It does appear that Ross may be a step behind Johnson according to that video but some teams had Ross running a 4.18
One team had John Ross at 4.18 on one of their stopwatches.

Unfortunately Ross didn’t win an island because he wasn’t wearing Adidas shoes.
