sha welcome to the site.i viewed the tape and automatically i looked at this guy with the orange shoes.i don’t know why but he was in my view from start to finish.

now technically this athlete is very very good.his leg action is great and notice that you can see all aspects of his action even in realtime due to his SL,hip height etc.compare him to the other guys…his hip height is very different,his SL and overall tecnique is quite more impressive.

also notice at 60 his SL appears to open up more.this is really great and if i had this athlete i would be very excited with what i’ve seen.his acceleration is good,technique is great(slight adjustments on the arm action) and overall this athlete in balanced.

have you anymore videos of his start in particular…i think he can clear them quicker with slight adjustments

this is by far the best technique i have seen on this site yet for am amature sprinter.technically very impressive

just a note…he apears to rise faster from the blocks than everyone else this is why i am questioning his start.also i think he can relax in his shoulder/trap or neck area…it appears he is a little tense

don’t forget that times will fall with time and patience with this athlete

Nice race. Poor conditions. How old are the sprinters in the group?

What do you focus on with your arms as you run?

Orange shoes can definetly work on ‘picking up’. Quite pronounced backside mechanics.

Arm action seems somewhat rigid toward the end of the race. Nothing major.

Once he is clear of the blocks, his acceleration pattern is good.

First 2 - 3 steps aren’t great - would suggest block setup isn’t correct.

I agree with X-man, he does look good. Hip height is v. impressive.

overall very good.i’d like to hear cf’s opinion
