Lyles faster first half ability now will compromise his finish-which was his greatest strength. He won’t be getting that record. 19.31 was his perfect storm of track, occasion, form and crowd.
Stupidity is hallmark of officials in sports , minly becuase most of them.come from sports background themselves with less literacy, less education etc a less analytical, logical mind. Many of such rules have lead to.Injuries and loss of career for athletes Example the requirement to no cross the line after trhwoung the javelin - which is mindless rule, forces the athletes to stop his highly forward velocity motion with a jerk leading to severe stress on body , after he has thrown the javelin frok before the line how does it matter ifnhe keeps running and gradually stops thereby preventing injury . Another stupid ruke in long jump - take off only.from 8 -9 inches white board - it is so hard to break the last stride and hit the board - stupid rule Gve him a wide board and Let him jump freely and jist measure from where he has jumped , so easy in todays technology camera etc. So several such stupid rules endanger the health of athletes
I think that spikes will always be necessary for top performances but maybe athletes should run less often in spiked shoes for training. And I think people should care more about running form as it not only improves the times but also keeps away from injuries which is the basis for a long and successful carrier.
If she tweaks her start, she is capable of clocking 10.5, but I don't know about 10.4. However, we need to realize she's only 24, so theoretically, she has much more room to run faster. Women peak much later in their years than men. It's not that Sha'Carri is training harder than everyone else; she has natural, God-given body mechanics that allow her to run faster. With proper training, she's realizing her full potential. Her collegiate under-20 100m record is one of the most astonishing feats I've seen. She eased up before the finish line and still clocked 10.75, all as a college freshman just out of high school.
It seems that it is in fact not really clear what the best pacing strategy is. Warholm and Van Nieckerk going „stupid fast“, Ray Bejamin and Johnson more smoothly. How do Femke Bol and Sydney Mclaughlin-Levrone pace their races?
