Not to take away for Mr Bolt running fast but perhaps our adulation should be reserved for someone more deserving ?
say
Actually he is quite a good runner technically, alot better then most of the others in that race. He remains very smooth and relaxed. Most of the deficiences will be very hard for him to correct too much at this stage and if I was his coach I wouldn't be messing around with his technique too much.
I'm not so sure. His physical attributes give him a huge advantage. Not many athletes with his height have the leg speed and power that he has. If he ever gets in top shape and with the right conditions at the same time he could test the 9.5 second area.
I actually think he is a better suited to the 200m & I would love to see him have a crack at the 400m as well.
I think your a bit of a tough critic, nomore4s. Are you a running coach?
If Bolt is only "quite a good runner technically"
I think you should read the thread and put it in context with your response to this comment.
Nomore was replying to a poster who said he was 'poor technically'.

If Bolt is only "quite a good runner technically" and not quite in "top shape" (he should lay off the grog and durries), I would hate to hear what you have to say about the second placed runner.
I have read the thread, thank you MrC.
My point is, how can anyone say the fastest man of all time is "quite good technically".
Maybe Bolt has redefined what is correct technically and it the other runners who are now technically deficient.?
Wow, 19.19 that's insane. I really want to see him have a crack at the 400m ne day, just for fun
Everyone has different physical make ups (range of motion, height etc etc), so what works for one won't work for another. But like I said Bolt is actually pretty good technically.
Given the acceleration required for 100m, I always found it interesting that the 200m time is not faster than 2 x 100m time.
May be the explosive-type muscles just can't keep things up much longer than 19 secs
If i remember my Phys Ed classes corerectly, it only takes about 4 or 5 paces to get up to top speed, so that side of things is relatively small.
The main energy system used when sprinting is the ATP-PC system, which is exhausted after about 10 seconds (this is pretty much all that is needed for world level 100m). After 10 seconds of intese power style exercise, that is, once the ATP system is depleted, the lactic system kicks in and the buildup of lactic acid begins to slow the muscles.
Wow, 19.19 that's insane.
