absolute wrong! Stride frequency and length are just effect of running speed not the cause. Shortening the ground contact time does not make you faster. Taking longer strides does not make you faster either. But longer limbs are a big advantage because they allow one to stay on the ground longer at the same speed as with shorter limbs. That's why Bolt had GCT of ~0.9s during his WR!

Why are you guessing and making incorrect assumptions? Nothing you said has any foundation in science, in fact science had refuted this since the 80s.

@@Hengel_Andrews haha. i understand simple laws of physics. Your science should be flushed down the toilet!

@@Leonidas-eu9bb women often have gct of .06 . The trade off is theyre not ass powerful and arent able to create as much distance per step which is why the fastest women are only taking 47-51 strides as opposed to 41-45

@@Christian-se5si No sprinter is has GCT under .07s! Women take more steps because of their shorter limb length. Power is also a reason but women are lighter so they don't need as much power.

& Femke is tall at 184 / 6'

Not twice as fast, but yes, faster than the longer legs

Shorter sprinters usually have a stronger lower body and smaller feet.

Still my favorite of all time love watching her race

I'm also 5'0 and my coach noticed that I take almost twice as many steps as my competition when I sprint, so that might be what you felt

Even Christian Coleman who looks short compared to everyone else is actually 5'8.

Well yeah 5’9 is pretty tall for a woman. Track isn’t one of those sports where you have to be huge to succeed

5’9 for a man is short

@@mssha1980 Nope, 5'9 is actually the average height for an adult male across the world.

@@yennox5338 ok. It just isn’t tall for a man

She is godly

Stunning woman. Beautiful and elegant on the track. Moves like a goddess.

There’s all this data to the 200m and in that data you’ll see all these 1 off fast pbs that don’t fit.

Pretty obvious to me that she could have done it if she were fresh and going all out, that would easily counteract 0.6 in wind. Interesting to think about how shortness may equal more fatigue though, one might think that less weight and muscle means less energy used or less lactic, but I guess the stride frequency overrules that

@@Sough The 'shortness' is more to do with stride length combined with frequency as longer legged sprinters with very good frequency & speed endurance can really eat up the track in the 200m with Gabby Thomas being a great example.

Yes. To this day.

In one of her news interviews, she had said that all she wants is a statue in her hometown as a memory. Naturally, this is long before she died. The state of Mississippi should erect a statue in her hometown and the state capital. It's the very least they can do for an Olympian.

I just found out about her death and how she died, absolutely terrible, R.I.P she was a very gracious runner.

we would have to whip out our measuring tape for this, but you can go further,,you can try to determine body core strength and more muscle mass vs slender...we can compare and contrast many attibutes

I guess you mean American Football? A brain injury, would be more certain, than the opposite! What is your birth month? Mine is January. My brother once said to me: "You are 182 cm. (just beyond 6ft).

@@maikotter9945 football⚽️

She looks TALL on tv lol like long. Thats crazy .

@@KLoff-pg1dmshe has long legs

You don't.

Yes with drug

I wouldn’t be surprised if shericka has peaked in her 100m because she have so few things in her 100m to improve on. So she could possibly break her pb but sub 10.60 is tough. Elaine has a better chance of running sub 10.6 again. And Shacarri has a better chance of running sub 10.6 than shericka has of doing it. The ship has sailed on Shelly.

She’s saucy for sure.

Nope. On the opposite. Shorter sprinters go fast by having a very high cadence, which is INefficient (more energy is lost by moving the limbs at a high rythm, just like driving your car in the first gear all the time). However on the distances shorter than 300 meter that does not matter much, because these distances can be run on anaerobic metabolism which provides enough raw power. On the 400 however efficiency starts to matter, because after about 300m anaerobic energy starts to dwindle and lactic acid starts building up. That is also the reason that most top level 400 meter runners are relatively tall and not to heavily built, and have very good running form.

⁠​⁠@@rientsdijkstra4266bird brain, EVERYONE gets lactic acid at 300m no matter the height. Use your brain.

She’s 5’1 irl but some online info be saying she’s 5’0

She's just over 5ft 10. That's still tall for a Dutch woman if the average is 5ft 7.

I guess we'll never know

They are all enhanced

In the 2000 Olympic final most of the women were on PED’s and tested positive or were excluded later. It was unfair not just to let Marion keep her gold medal. Despite that I think what she did was deplorable.

and Flo-Jo as well.

You could say the same for many people

Men’s professional sprinting overwhelming favors tall bodies, whereas women’s sprinting has dominant athletes throughout the height spectrum, although most female sprinters tend to be higher end of average female height to moderately tall.

Does it? I mean Usain Bolt was always told he was too tall for the 100m and it used to be thought that really tall men couldn't run the 100. Bolt CHANGED that viewpoint.

@@michaelmaxwell2464yeah…changed the viewpoint FOR MEN. People are so delusional to think tall people can’t sprint 100 meters, they still think that to this day..especially for women.

​@@gummy5862Amongst the top 10 fastest 100m runners of all time, 6 of them are below 6ft. Baring this in mind, you can't say it overwhelmingly favours tall bodies. If anything it's neutral. It wasn't till Bolt came around when people started this whole thing of taller people having an advantage.

That's what strike rate is how many times your feet hit the ground. Exactly what the narrator was saying so listen right!

@@geelb-fe7ef Do you got brain problems?

Exactly!!

It’s all about training
