True, but even the shorter sprinters are built this way. You can be 6'5 or 5'6" and have long legs/short torso or vice versa. Green and Gay are long legged. Though, this theory does not explain Michael Johnson's succes with a long trunk and short legs. I believe it has more to training to ones...

Exactly....techniquecould be improved a little, but explosivestrengthis what he needs. this is what will help his first 30 meters, help to reacha high speed earlier in the race and maintain it throughout.<div> </div><div>He started an intense weightliftingprogram this pastwinterand it will take...

Another sub 10 is fantastic! Never expected him to beat Powellespeciallyon this track that Powell always does well.<div> </div><div>Christophe is still young,underdeveloped. His first 30 meters will improve as hisstrengthto body weight ratio increases. The 1st 30 meters is more due...

with those long legs and new found and developing strength to run a very decent time against a strong wind/wet track in the 200 this past day - the 400, yes! he could be decent in the long jump.though both are somewhat related,sprinters don't make the best best jumpers as jumpers don't make the...

I disagree...no one knows of lemaitre's potential. Bolt would need to run 19.5 and less. Let's wait it out and see what happens. The 19.19 won't be broken for another 20 to 30 years but not sure if bolt can repeat that. Ya never know

Wow! On the 200. He is sub 20 form. There is a reason why he believes he can battle for gold in the 200 next year in London. Menea's record will fall soon.

Guliyev straightens up to quick and his stride is short and quick. I mentioned this before, he almost has a similar style of running to Michael Johnson. His body structure seems to be closer to Johnson in having a longer torso and shorter legs, where Lemaitre is longer legged with a shorter...

maybe a scholarship to a top track and field american university would help him develop his natural talent

I have no problem on what you say, in fact i dont think Bolt is on any ped; he is just a freak of nature with a natural long effortless stride with turnover to match. It is simplephysicswhy he can run so fast. On the other hand, Mullings, Carter and Yohan have something to hide.

I watched the race, and if you look closely, Blake seems to be running with much better form, Christophe still rocks his shoulder side to side, his form is still a little off. Amazing what this guy can do when he perfects his form and achieves elitestrengthlevel. He will be a serious threat..and...

Bravo! He is progressing the way one should. For him To get to the low 9.9's he needs to run Alot of races. His new muscle/strength needs to sync with his natural speed. Once that happens I seriously see a dominating performance, top 3. he is consistent and I see a very fast 200 real soon

I think he will get close to 19.80 and maybe under. For him to come out confident g for Olympic gold in the 200 meters (against Bolt and Gay) shows that most likely in practice runs he isrunningvery fast 200 times with minimal effort. Hisconfidenceseems to be in the 200 not the 100.

Im not sure. I am probably the only one here thatbelievesBolt, Gay, and Powell are not on any sort of performanceenhancements. But as far as Mullings, and Rodgers (who is not a sub 9.9 sprinter)Somethingis up. Mullings and Rodgers time at Eugene makes no sense whatsoever and he (Mullings) has...

Agreed. I can see Bolt or Gay run 9.80 not Mullings or Rodgers, sorry, I am not convinced. Also, Ashmead runs sub 20 and 10 after an average year at best. Something is not right.

So Mullings runs a 9.80 and mike Rodgers 9.85 with 1.3 wind???? Christophe will need a lot of work. I don't get it. Tyson gay 9.79 and another Jamaican runs 9.96??? Wtf
