Flo Jo was even better, but being a woman made her not be as popular, because her body was not as powerful as a man 's (10.49), even if she had the best technique
@@stephensurry3416 It's a crazy record, and the time during what it was made makes it even crazier. How did she manage to train so well back then? I can't imagine her in today's world. Although, the best girl nowadays has potential to beat that record. But she's still a level below
Jeez man, Powell is one of those rare sprinters that just glides across the field. Looks like a wire’s pulling him and he moves his legs to feign like he’s running, as if he’s doing a stunt in a movie.
As a young lad watching Don Q , I was puzzled by the way his legs looked like they were elastic rubber bands when running. Now after all these years you as solved the puzzle for me. It was that final extension of his front foot before in touched the ground, that gave his stride that elastic look. It truly was a thing of beauty.
I'm glad Darrel Brown was mentioned as well as sprinting in Trinidad shown briefly from 0:35- 0:39s which was when Darrel Brown ran a 10.04s to win the 100m at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in 2011. He will always be missed in the sport.
I honestly believe, if Darryl had achieved more winning sub 10 times throughout his career (and if aesthetics was a greater factor in this comparison), he would be in the top three easily... Only Asafa and perhaps Maurice green was smoother. Yes the other runners have quick turnover, but he always looked as if he was jogging 10.0s. I really wanted to see him beat some people at the world level (this is coming from a Jamaican). I witnessed him at the world juniors in Kingston and at several senior champs in Trinidad, you would get goosebumps just watching him do a run through before the race... Never seen anything like it. You just wanted him to win regardless of who else was in the race just to see his running form.
I agree. I have been saying for years that Asafa has the best sprinting form. His form allows for his foot to hit the ground at the correct angle, it allows maximum utilization of the gluteus muscle, and it prevents the foot from spending time behind the body.
Backside mechanics are important, because you start from backside first, meaning not have too much back drift, when that is the case, you miss too much time on the ground with the support leg, meaning you're braking longer not even getting to front side.
Anybody notice Powell’s change in race strategy/pattern after ‘07?? I think it was post Osaka where he really established himself as #1 on this list 👌🏾
I don't know if I agree completely with this list. I don't see Donovan Bailey on this list and a couple of other athletes I think embodies the perfect form in sprinting.
At 50 or 60m could yes he could but at the 100m no due to his top speed is slower then Marcell and others but I think it could work on people that are shorter like 5.6 and 5.8 because su is shorter then all these athletes in this list that’s what made him not have the top speed and not included him in this list and his height would give him disadvantage at top speed.
You should look at 200/400 runners, as well. Given the demands of their race, efficient of stride is extremely important. Kenny Bednarek, Jeremy Wariner, Wayde Van Niekerk, etc.
So the question you're left with is, how could you be a former record holder and the sub10 king because of your excellent form, but that great form never allowed you win an Olympic or World Champ title? Finalitis!!
last thing I will say is the idea of the compact arm swing/drive this actually hinders the 100 metre runner it biomechanically wrong and thus lessons the power in the arm drive. there is also extra movement at the elbow for most compact arm swingers also making them less efficient . Lewis Mitchell bolden drummond Marsh Burrell probably have the best arm angles off the top of my head.
Perhaps Asafas form being such an important factor to his speed was why Asafa often choked in tight competitions. When no one is there it's just him and his form. As soon as someone keeps his pace or even nudges past him, his concentration slips and his form suffers = can't reach top speeds.
I went to an all comers meet at UCLA. In those days, we didn't have pre-entries and seeding, the guy coordinating just called out times and you took a lane. So he called out like an auctioneer starting at an impossible price "anybody under 20?" and a guy in an anonymous gray sweatsuit stepped up and set his blocks in lane 5. At that point in history, only two people had ever broken 20. So I got to run against Don Quarrie.
16:14 he ran a 9.74 while slowing down significantly at the end and not even dipping he could have easily broke his pr of 9.72 and also break 9.69 which would made him second fastest. It looked like he would gotten low 9.6 maybe even sub 9.6 if he dipped. He ruined his chances of potentially tieing or beating Usain Bolt’s record. He obviously can’t go this fast but he had a 1.7+ wind and he didn’t take advantage of it
I wonder where would letsile tebogo would rate. I was so impress at his form on his winning 200m olympic race i had chills looking at him flying over the track
another illusion to do with carl lewis up right is what you refered to as torso instability. Its an illusion caused by the amount of force Lewis drive his arms backwards. Infact youd be hard pressed to find any of these guys with instability in the torso EXCEPT for over striding. and if the athlete is overstriding it means there hips have dropped or due to psoas length are unable to bring hips forward to the optimal postition and in any sport from walking to kungfu to jogging to sprinting this will cause instability in the core.
You should do a video on why there are many white females that break the 11 second time (equivalent of the 10 second in the mens 100m) of the 100m, compared to the almost no white males breaking the 10 seconds in the 100m.
Personally I find athletes with more of a balance between their frontside and backside mechanics to have the best looking form. I prefer their back kick to come up high as well.
@@robinbauer1975 do not get me wrong frontside is important but it is a balance . You have some who go so extreme on frontside that they don't have a proper leg cycle and just running with high knees only stomping the ground. That can shorten stride length .
Before one can sprint; one needs to be able to run. And to be a good runner; one needs a good running technic that allows for decent endurance. Therefore, since endurance is clearly mo important than the dashing speed; the list for the best running form would be: 1. Mista W. V. Niekerk. Best 400 m dash track & field professional athlete, so far. 2. Mista H. Gebrselassie. Best 10 km dash track & field professional athlete, so far. 3. Mista U. Bolt. Best 100 m dash track & field professional athlete, so far. To note that through out history, a few track & field non-professional athletes, from the same family group, from the Highlands of the nowadays nation of Angola. Had one person running the 400 m dash, in just 41s; and another person running the 10 km in about 23 minutes. Meaning that: outside nowadays Angola; only Mista U. Bolt, as a running form, to also be taught to the youngsters.
All this form analysis overlooks some key biomechanical factors ... like thickness and stiffness of the Achilles tendon which effects force transfer from the foot into the ground ... and which cannot be impacted by form or training.
Gotta be Asafa Powell. Dude look like he glides on the track and once he gets going is like an unstoppable train hovering to the finish line. In order to give out such perception to viewers u need very fluid biomechanics in the technique.
Great video. Some of the lower rankings I don't agree with at all but top 4 is good. No reason you couldn't have included women in this though. SAFP and Dafne Schippers could be top 5. Gatlin has a very idiosyncratic running style. I don't think you could over coach someone to run like Gatlin. Extremely hamstring dominant, he looks like he's pulling the track beneath him rather than bouncing off it.
I’m glad to see Ben Johnson in the Top 10, where he belongs. I honestly think he should be #3 or #4, behind Powell & Jacobs, but I think his slightly shorter legs and heavier build work against him from an “aesthetics” point of view. As far as being a technical model for shorter sprinters or those with high turnover, Johnson is at the top. No question Powell is #1. Good list.
Ben Johnson should not be on the list at all without cheating his times were not world class, he was a joke and blemish on sprinting. That being said I still believe that most of the sprinters cheat and people who say they passed tests are fools as Lance Armstrong never failed a test while winning the tour 5 times but was cheating something fierce as were all the others and no one really wants to stop the cheating.
@@vincentalfonzojamal If they really tested them they would all fail, did you read my full comment? I believe they all cheat and the catch who they want and that goes for all sports.
@@todallard8791your passion & sense of justice might in some circles be seen as admirable, but it is misplaced. This is a review of mechanics & form, period.
Thanks for mentioning Ato Boldon, he trained with Maurice Greene under the same coach when they were at their peak, only Mo Greene seemed to be running slightly faster in most of their races, though Ato would sometimes win. Two legends
I agree with your list for the most part. I think an honorable mention should be Andre de Grasse. Lovely, fluid and efficient. Excellent video. Shame the resolution wasn't better on some of the segments. Shame that some athletes tended to let up when they knew they had already won. How much faster could Bolt, Powell and Tebogo have run if they didn't let up in their best races?
I remember when i was younger i was always a very fast runner. Everytime when the school do the 100m qualification i was always first or second. I was too confident everytime that i NEVER went into the training session after the qualification. And the result after so many times is always the same. I ended up always last before the actual event. But kids in the 90s are not that smart so i cannot figure out why my fate is like that. The real reason is that the other kids went for the training sessions & have better running form.
The was a pretty good list and as a Jamaican I agree with all the point and principles of true sprinting mechanics... I seen all of these top Jamaicans train from usain to yohan to asafa, you should do a list on the females shelly, elaine, Jeter, of the female only shelly I've seen training in person
Thought it was a but wierd and stiff in the beginning however i've come to find Gatlin's form is the most efficient with very little waste of movement.
Su Bingtian has an amazing first 50m but cannot accelerate for the last 50m. Fahnbulleh is the opposite who doesn't get out front in the first 50m but is able to accelerate last 50m both are great sprinters but these flaws are what prevent them from being number 1
No one "accelerates in the last 50." It's physically impossible. The body starts to break down after about 65 meters at the most. When Carl Lewis & Usain Bolt used to seem like he was accelerating past everyone that's not what was really happening. They both were decelerating slower than everyone else bc they relaxed more than everyone else & trusted this fact about deceleration. So they were decelerating slower than everyone else while everyone was trying hard to try & catch up. Tightening up & slowing down.
I'm a big fan of Ben's but I'm not convinced he had great form, he did maintain a still head and stable core but he ran duck footed, I think it was more about incredible raw power he could generate using his lower and upper body in unison, without that 450 lb bench and 700 lb squat with a 75kg body weight off the drugs during his attempted comeback he just looked like an average sprinter without it

No I don't think so
There's no doubt that Powell is the right person for the number slot
Yea that’s is the perfect combo of speed power and technique. Ppl wouldn’t disagree if Asafa won gold at worlds or the Olympics

Same here

Such beautiful form. These mechanical actions are just pure poetry in motion, like Klay Thompsons shooting form.
you should do a similar video focusing more on the 200 or 400
last thing I will say is the idea of the compact arm swing/drive this actually hinders the 100 metre runner it biomechanically wrong and thus lessons the power in the arm drive. there is also extra movement at the elbow for most compact arm swingers also making them less efficient . Lewis Mitchell bolden drummond Marsh Burrell probably have the best arm angles off the top of my head.
Valeriy Borzov had an amazing running style
I find the women sprinters to have beautiful, elegant forms. I love watching them glide, like Felix.
Perhaps Asafas form being such an important factor to his speed was why Asafa often choked in tight competitions. When no one is there it's just him and his form. As soon as someone keeps his pace or even nudges past him, his concentration slips and his form suffers = can't reach top speeds.
Donovan Bailey had such good levers and proportions, he made it look as though he was born to it.
I agree on Asafa being No 1...but Yohan Blake at 11?

sprint form for long torso short limbs pls and track spikes suggestions for beginners
Before one can sprint; one needs to be able to run. And to be a good runner; one needs a good running technic that allows for decent endurance.
Therefore, since endurance is clearly mo important than the dashing speed; the list for the best running form would be:
1. Mista W. V. Niekerk.
Best 400 m dash track & field professional athlete, so far.
2. Mista H. Gebrselassie.
Best 10 km dash track & field professional athlete, so far.
3. Mista U. Bolt.
Best 100 m dash track & field professional athlete, so far.
To note that through out history, a few track & field non-professional athletes, from the same family group, from the Highlands of the nowadays nation of Angola. Had one person running the 400 m dash, in just 41s; and another person running the 10 km in about 23 minutes. Meaning that: outside nowadays Angola; only Mista U.

Gotta be Asafa Powell. Dude look like he glides on the track and once he gets going is like an unstoppable train hovering to the finish line. In order to give out such perception to viewers u need very fluid biomechanics in the technique.

I always loved tysom gay starts he wasnt the best at starting but the way he left the blocks was just something special

I'm a big fan of Ben's but I'm not convinced he had great form, he did maintain a still head and stable core but he ran duck footed, I think it was more about incredible raw power he could generate using his lower and upper body in unison, without that 450 lb bench and 700 lb squat with a 75kg body weight off the drugs during his attempted comeback he just looked like an average sprinter without it
