I noticed how people kept underestimating Bolt's start. It looks like over 90% of the people have that wrong idea in mind that Bolt wasn't a good starter. Even Bolt's reaction time was elite and many don't realize it.

Bolts 2008 9.69 race was simply insane. He ran a 60m split of 6.32 with no wind, which shares it for 1st place as the fastest adjusted 60m split of all time with Su Bingtian 6.29 (which is also 6.32 wind adjusted). But Bolts reaction time was 2 hundreds of a second slower than Bingtian. Other than reaction time, there is no split from 0-200m that Bolt is not the greatest at

Yohan Blake's 200m performance of 19.26 was faster than Bolt's 19.19 with reaction time excluded, so that cannot be true. Maybe from 0-100m.

@@johnwood1631 Yohan Blake is definitely the second best ever, but he had a strong tail wind where Bolt ran into a headwind in his performance. If you’re gonna remove reaction times, then you also have to adjust the times to the wind and altitude.

The fact that Bolt was running his first 20m .05-.10 of a second fast faster than everyone from this year's Olympic finals is mindboggling to me given how much of a disadvantage he had (being so tall). And people think he was a bad starter? It's madness. That coupled with his unmatched top speed and it's easy to see how he was unstoppable lol

Men's 100m is the only race where we can fairly assume at any given time whether there's any 15+ year old athlete who might in their career beat the WR. Maybe opinion on what the age cutoff should be differs, but the general audience definitely agrees it's the seemingly most untouchable record for now - and maybe will still be in 20 years.

Would be interesting to know that the lower stride frequency combined with the higher top end speed plus time off the ground and his large size means the force he is applying to the ground to propel himself is the key metric that this video doesn’t even mention. Do the studies estimate this force?
@saetharion2 күн бұрын
Bolt had so much power. His longer strides at the start acted similar to a coil unspringing. There's more to unspring, and it'll do so with more force. In car terms, his horsepower was out of this world compared to his peers. Was it more difficult for him to execute because each individual step had a much greater impact on his overall race? Absolutely. But that goes to show that he wasn't just supremely gifted, but his skill, technique, and hard work went into perfecting those strides.
