All impressive runs, but keep in mind that nearly all of these (all of the 100m and all but two of the 200m) are comebacks where the person winning is nearest to the camera, and due to the parallax from that angle, always makes it appear that lanes closer to the camera are doing worse at the start and better near the end. So really, most of these runs partly only seem so otherworldly impressive because of those angles. Fanbulleh on the other hand is actually just some sort of weird monster.

[@sharifbrown3567]

That's why he does the rectangle, to give us a better perspective of the distance.

[@_NPJ]

@@sharifbrown3567 I think that rectangle is backwards though. It should be the other way. The rectangle on the video makes it look like the person further from the camera (inside lane) is further ahead than what they actually are. This is already deceptively accentuated by the camera angle, and the rectangle on the video should counteract that but it’s the wrong way round.

[@sharifbrown3567]

@@sharifbrown3567 it’s going at the wrong angle. Hard to explain. It’s making the lead seem bigger than what it is.
