In this video we take a look at 20 sprinters who I consider to have demonstrated the best form while running the 200metres.

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

@customname4680 29 күн бұрын

He had the world record for the 300M And he dropped a 43:29s split in the 4*400m relays

@Visionary0001 Ай бұрын

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.

@kgwriter4024 Ай бұрын

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.

Can u please explain “ negative foot speed “?

@416yaadie 29 күн бұрын

Maurice Greene technique over the 200m wasn't the best. I wouldn't put him on this list. For the 100m he is one of the best but the 200m no

@user-gw6bz9nl2u 29 күн бұрын

@@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.

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.
