Tebogo looks so smooth when sprinting you might think he runs a middle distance But no he runs like WR’s and 9:8s and 19:5s with his GOATED form best to ever do it
How did former WR holder Pietro Mennea not make this list? His sprinting form was more efficient and productive than a handful of the people who did make the list.
The criticism of Carl Lewis is he used forward-and-back motion with his arms, in contrast to Ben Johnson's more efficient elliptical motion. You can see this with a simple test: rotate your hands in a back-and-forth motion and then move them in a circle. I was told this by a Russian sprint coach who apparently coached Valeriy Borzov.
@@csmith9248 After nearly extending the lower leg forward, his hamstring tightens and brings the leg back at a speed opposite to the direction of running. This creates a large impact force into the ground that pushes it forward. You can watch the USATF 100m final from 2005 where he gets injured, but what I'm explaining is very clear. If you watch the cheetah run, it also has negative leg velocity. This is the biggest secret to running fast.

HIs technique and speed distribution were decades ahead of his time. 19.83 is still an elite time even now with fitter athletes, better technology, and better "restoratives."
What's your criteria for ranking the form? I havent watch the full video but I can't believe Lemaitre made the list... His form looks so choppy and his arm movement is all over the place.
@@sleepyizo3107 bolt ran 19.19 without the best technique. He fell apart that last 20m. If your strong, fit and fast you can run a super fast time. When he ran that 19.49 he wasn't under pressure but when he ran against Lyles about a month or so afterwards Lyles use technique and efficiency to beat. Lyles didn't beat him that day he beat himself by losing his technique
Tebogo takes it hands down he just ran the fastest time ever in the 300m he's speed economy is insane plus Carl Lewis he could fly through the air like Superman wow those were the days
Tbh this is a great list But I wondered by do all praise green’s form so much? Like yeah he looks powerful but no where as easy as an Marcell Jacobs, elastic like Lyles, smooth like tebogo or powerful and presize as Bolt like I just don’t get it someone please explain and glaze on Maurice Green’s form I would have placed Tebogo higher top 3 at least
When Valeriy Borzov won the 200m in at the Munich Olympics in 1972, that was the SEA LEVEL world record, which is rarely recognized for the important accomplishment that it was.
Tyson G. is underrated. He could've gotten close to WRs if he didn't zigzag his first 4-8 steps. However, Bolt's the best because he uses long strides and moves side to side.
You should have included Shawn Crofort and Kostas Kenteris from Greece. Exceptionally good sprinters both but with proper technique and a more poetic way for running (especially Shawn Crofort)
My favorite is Carl Lewis. Watch this video from the 1992 Olympics of the 4x100 from 11:00 to 11:25. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DAndXDjht-A.html In this race, Carl Lewis doesn't run, he floats through the air.
Yes I had considered them but because of the limited footage available I wouldn't have been able to acurately dissect their form and give them a segment in the video
I think Asafa had near perfect form, Carl Lewis has to be on the list, and maybe Gatlin. Other fast sprinters got away with lesser form: Ben Johnson, Linford Christie, Donovan Bailey.
No body possess a greater sprinting technique than Asafa Powell. If he had his performance anxiety, nervousness and all that on point, he would possibly demolish bolt.
@@daniel-bn6lx depends on your workouts bro. If they are high intensity ( like sprinting and plyometrics) then try 4-5 days a week with rest days in between. Much better results.
Technique ? Just technique ? Not considering , height , strength, stamina and leg speed ? Cuz, you can be a slow leg speed , weak, and short person with no stamina , and have perfect technique and do your 20+ second 100m runs with prefect technique. Usain Bolt does not have the perfect or best technique just because he is the fastest. I vote for Frankie Fredricks. He has the most prefect technique of any runner I have ever seen, in my opinion.
*Well, one thing is for sure, just because Usain Bolt has the World Record in the 200 meters doesn't mean he has the best form, I wouldn't even consider Bolts 200M running form top 10. I wouldn't teach that form to anybody, there other more appealing and economical forms to copy.*
I definitely do not agree with this 200m GOAT Rankings....Donald Quarrie was left out of the top ten....Big, big Mistake.....Maurice Green should've never been ranked higher than Ato Boldon....Mike Marsh should've also been ranked higher
Bolt was the best 200m runner of all time but he did not have the best technique of all time. His shoulders rocked too much and his arm action was not smooth.
I saw knighton sprinting at a Diamond League meeting in 2022 His talent is undoubtable but I didn't think his technique was as visually appealing as some other sprinters although it's certainly effective
