Joseph Fahnbullet definitely has the highest potential to improve the most, he is running amongst the fastest and seemingly has the most to improve on. He is consistently running 20 lows with horrid starts, all he needs is that reaction and drive phase and he will be unbeatable. One of the most fun runners to watch in a long time.

[@aroncampos5720]

Yeah top end speed and endurance are crazy. I wonder how good he would be in the 400m as well.

There seems to be an odd rhythm to his running too, like he has a power stride then three coasting strides and then repeats the cycle.

I believe if Michael Johnson gets a hold of Fahnbulleh and starts to work with him then he could improve his starts and if he does that then no record is safe, he is like an aeroplane when he gets up to speed.

[@DJ5780]

[@generalbrowser680]

Can you imagine if he could start like Trevon Bromell?

[@SDesWriter]

No because if he had a start he would have less energy reserves for the end of the race. There's only so much energy to burn and if you can conserve some with a slower start you'll be able to use it later but his start isn't a mechanics problem, it's his size and explosiveness. I think he'll get faster but at his size I also think it's very possible he'll put on weight in the next few years and that will slow him down a lot.

[@ufonious747]

@@SDesWriter not necessarily. That may be true is he wasn’t a stride heavy runner. Bolt was next level BECAUSE of his height and stride. This dudes stride is insane. Doesn’t take him long to get down the track. His 2 strides are other sprinters 3 or 4. You’ll see, if he ever has a legit start, watch him go low 19 and it’ll look fairly easy.

Blake allegedly did a 9.12 in 2011 which is the fastest I can find, but it seems people are calculating these from videos and disagree whether it's 9.06 or 9.12 or even 9.2x. You put split times in many of your videos, are you calculating those manually or they're done officially these days?

LSU’s Laird is a speedster and very impressive. However, Fannbulleh from Florida appears to be the “sleeper” of the bunch who may peak at the finals of the NCAA. As a side note, he’s only a sophomore and has time to work on his start. Once he matures and gets his start down, he may break Bolt’s 100m record. I say this because he ran the last 100m of the 200m heat in 9.57 at the NCAA championship for 2021. Bolt’s record I believe is 9.58.
