no way !!!
why isnt it anywhere on iaaf.org…
what was it 10.40 ?
what percentage of his max v do you think he runs on the runway?
iaaf.org data usually depends on what local federations submit
Take the time as 10.4x but closer to .4 than .5.
I certainl dont know how fast he runs on the runway, but considering he gets an excellent height his 100m time makes sense if he is running at 95%.
yeah very good point. 95% for him would then be around 10.5m/s and with the height he gets,8.50m from that speed is more than possible…

For the american standards he was a good jumper in hs but nothing extraordinary.
i dunno, 20 and jumping 8.12 thats pretty special…
interesting he took a year off comps, then came back with a huge 8.12m PB…
perhaps similar to edwards forced layoff? fiber conversion (IIa > IIb) here?
in south america high school is normally finished with 17 / 18 years.
