Carl Lewis Breaks Down How Elaine Thompson-Herah Won Gold 

That would be fun! Feel like the field events never get enough attention haha

Totally agree with Carl Lewis

EXACTLY 💯

4 REAL .A 9 time Olympic medalist .Former 100 WR Holder .2nd best a Long jump of all time . 2x 4×100 meter WR

EXCELLENTLY and PROFOUNDLY STATED ANALYSIS AND OBSERVATIONS, RESPECTIVELY- WELL DONE. 👏

@@MickyTubbs1985 thank you. sir! I am very passionate about this sport, and I love dialogue with those who truly understand!

@@stevie586 gatlin says if he doesnt do the drive phase he can't run as fast as he can.

@@incorectulpolitic that really applies to everyone, but, how much they put into it is the deal. If they spend all their energy there the body may not have enough for the rest.

@@stevie586 - Exactly 100 % you hit it on the nose. I've been around track for many years, I've ran and coached for over 10 years and people crack me up when they Underestimate Sha'Carri Richardson. All I tell them is to just pay attention and Watch.

He does and I said and saw that too. Carl has the same running style as Elaine no drive phase style like Greene or Johnson. I’m glad someone finally said it.

I really hope she can break the records...

Run like a jet. The build up, then the speed.

I actually felt Shelly-Ann stood up faster than I feel she normally goes there. Not saying she would have won if she'd stayed down a little longer, but do think the drive phase, which I agree Elaine does have despite what Carl says, counts and is important. I just think most runners stay in it too long and end up decelerating too soon.

As he stated with her being taller. That would account for her drive phase being longer. Because the other women turnover is quicker so they can come initiate force and it seems as if they come out of the drive phase quicker. But in actuality if someone 6'5 and 6'0 took the same amount of steps before they run. The one who is 6'0 would accomplish his steps in a shorter distance and precede to run first and reach top end first. One man reason Elaine is so fast in second have of the race is because when she reaches top end spend its over.

Real talk. I like watching Powell in slow mo. He moves so mechanically 😂. Unfortunately, I don't get why a lot of his races look like he's jugging at the end

"THUMBS to the eye." Not "Hands." :)

“Thumbs to the eyes and elbows to the sky” is a bit of inside information, and very valuable free advise he is offering here! Folks had better pay close attention! Those arms are extremely important in sprints, and he could’ve charged money for this!

@@leonardodalongisland Thank you.

@@stevie586 I know is VALUABLE info, I mentioned that, also saying coming out of his mouth, I just love it.

@@blessedthanksgiving457 absolutely! Many need to listen up!

They were trianed (past tense) by the same coach. Now seperate coach. Elaine is coached by her husband, not a well known coach and Shelly is coach by a fairly new comer coach.

Ben johnson is 6 feet. I ran with both of them

@@DESSIE477 i bet that was interesting 🤔

@@DESSIE477 did Carl run the1/4at any time?

Oh yes timmy one of the highlights of my life

You seem to forget Ben Johnson was on drugs.

So what happened when Shelly won those Olympic golds against taller runners?

@@truthhurts7469 The conditional phrase here is 'when all else is equal'

@@LouvreGlassFrance And what is supposed to make all else equal

@@truthhurts7469 How quick you cycle through. If Shelly and thompson have about the same cycle speed, Elaine will always win the race. That's what he is saying

Right .. Michael Johnson's performance lab can break it down in microscopic detail.. that way you can tweak the small things you're doing wrong. I didn't get anything from this "run relaxed" "Power out of the blocks" ... Carl is playing cards close to the vest.

@@arcdestriumph586 - U hit the nail right on the head! Even when Lewis said for the 100 “that u just have to run as fast as u can” I was like this dude has no clue about race management and race phazes! To be fair his analysis (or lack of it) does not surprise me!

I didn't agree with him either on either analogy. Elaine clearly has a drive phase. She's just built different and has a style that really compliments her style.

A great observation!

LoL.

Link to one?

Her strides are small. She need to do extend her legs.

@@sherenesherwood2314 But she starts at a disadvantage because she chops her stops out of the blocks instead of striding out. She's a full stride behind other runners after only the 3rd or 4th step....tough to make that deficit up.

@Mindspecialist, agree 100%! Carl Lewis is contradicting himself and is all over the place with his analysis. Joke ting! Not sure if he’s Pro drive faze or anti drive faze in the 100M!

lmao

@@AlexVinchenzo Sorry I am not understand this can you repeet

Go to India and contact him from there, you're trying to be SMART, hope you like my response, A nice conversation and you went to India.

Stop hating. He's a legend and can speak on what he wants. Plus he was asked. Geesh

I think Carl Lewis knows what he’s talking about when it comes to sprints

@@pmodel1 Right Only true track fans know Before Usain Bolt, Michael Johnson, from 1981 through 1991 Carl Lewis 4 gold medals Los Angeles's 1984 = Jesse Owens 1936 4 gold medals Berlin Germany ...absolutely Ruled....ranking #1 consistently by track and field news in the 100m, 200m, Long jump, and anchor on U.S. and Santa Monica track club 4 × 100.

Why would she when she is naturally fast.

@@PoetAntoniaValaire I didn't say she wasn't naturally fast. The Jaimacan doping agency doesn't test. Also the improvements she made along with her teammates are statistically improbable.

@@kenkenichi7461 so Jamaica doesn’t test but the WADA does and she has never failed one of their tests so what is your proof that she is doping? Didn’t you see that ETH peaked at the right time in 2016 and won the double then? Come on man, I know it’s hard you to understand an athlete running well and clean but Jamaicans don’t need drugs to run fast. We have been trained to run since we took our first step. Just think positive and enjoy the sport. We are natural born entertainers, that’s why we bring so much excitement to the track.

​@@MegaPatriciaj Sure but when they are in Jamaica they don't get random test and even if a random were done they would know about it before the person arrived. In all truth Jamaicans have been breaking records more recently which is also statistically improbable which means near impossible. Secondly, the amount of worlds records broken by male and female team members from a country as small as Jamaica is also statistically improbable along with the amount of space decreased in their running times (in such a small window of time) is highly improbable because the human body cannot do such things without performance enhancers.

@@kenkenichi7461 I think you need to take a trip to Jamaica during “track and field season “ and observe what goes on especially at the annual boys and girls championships. It would help you to understand the motivation that our youngsters have to run faster and faster. And while you are there visit the Jamaica Anti Doping Commission and ask what their role is, who they work in conjunction with and if they test the athletes. It’s dangerous to conclude that athletes from a small country can’t improve their speed because of the size of the country they are from. Trust me, you need that trip. Now answer this, do you think the WADA is credible? If they are then the Jamaican athletes are clean. So which is it, the WADA is credible or the Jamaican athletes are too fast to be caught? You can do better with your brain than sitting and thinking such nonsense and speaking against a nation of great sprinters without any proof at all. All you have said is pure speculation. Support your arguments with some facts brethren. SFP won her first Olympic title in 2008 and is still running and winning Olympic medals in 2022. Do you think someone taking PED could last that long without some behavioral changes. This young lady has shown tremendous growth in her personal life as well as her professional life. How dare you cast aspersions about her when you have no proof of what you are talking about. You seriously owe Jamaica an apology and you need to go there and make it.
