Run-Down Forums

Yeah he seems to be a bit overweight this year. Power is good but sometimes too much of a good thing can be bad.
As for my 100 yard list which I promised the forum a while ago I have finally compiled it. The top 10 marks for 100yards for Men are listed below.
Men's Top 10 100yds:
Note:The Splits below are estimately taken from 90m Splits of 100m races. The Video-Tapes in which the Splits were taken, range widely from 25Hz-120Hz, so the accuracy is quite reliable.

Do any of you guys know what Justin Gatlin's 10m splits were for his Olympic 100m win?

[X King]

Thanks for the 10m splits Xking, these are great! Gatlin finished like a steam train in that race. I actually thought he was behind until the last 20m - deceived by the angle of the t.v footage I guess. Should be an interesting year, J.G v A.P.

[Sprint X]

ROM:
00-10m: 1.71 (minus reaction time)
10-20m: 1.05
20-30m: 0.90
30-40m: 0.85
40-50m: 0.83
50-60m: 0.82
60-70m: 0.83
70-80m: 0.85
80-90m: 0.85
90-CL: 0.87

Note:

These measured statistics were captured from NTSC video of the race.
Each touchdown step was observed and calculated for rate and flight distance using Premiere Pro for actual recorded time and slow motion/zoom.
Split distances were determined from track markings.
Though a DLT method was not used, a two dimensional template was established using Eagle Eye Software to determine body position and angle reference as best as possible.

Looks like pretty good speed maintenance.

In response to stride length, overstriding from running down hills is what adapts the legs to a certain length.

Unfortunately I was not able to do a similar breakdown for Gay. I understand that there may be an analysis by others that will afford some insight into his performance in that race.

[AM_Runner]

it would be interseting to see for the new Gay 9.68 as well

I'd be curious to see how the 9.68 (wind aided) and 9.77 (wind legal) differ in that respect. Does the extra tail wind negate the slow-down at the end, or is fatigue still fatigue and the difference is a steady 0.01 or so each 10m segment after the runner is upright?

I wonder although one could argue also that while I am sure it made a difference that they are two different races and he was just more up for the second race... he did get a better start in the 9.68 run as well

9.77 Split Info

9.68w Split Info (IE)

Would expect the difference was more a factor of stride length than frequency. Particularly in form of measurement.

[AM_Runner]

Interesting also in that the first 50 meters were almost identical
