Elaine is looking incredible.
Really awkward start and early accel. He might have forced it too hard making up for it.
Great vids thanks. Asaffa not the runner he was even when running indoors this year. Ashmeade looking good.
If you look back here from two weeks ago, it’s obvious something has been wrong for a while:

He ran 9.88 but had such a bad start that he actually stumbled in early accel. Hard to tell if this is all because of a hamstring strain that was just reinjured or whether he injured his hamstring pushing too hard in maxV because something else in the blocks is wrong.

-maybe too much power strides too soon after world indoors.
-there could be any number of variables that he didnt transition soon enough or transition to faster strides over the months from a high enough volume of slightly slower longer initial power strides to his faster frequency 5 strides per second.
-he aint staying at 5 strides per second as he always
had in the past.
-at least he still has vicious stride length lol
-in the above videos hes at 10m in 6strides after easing somewhat at step 4…then in the 20m video hez at 20m in 11strides, where he floated strides 8,9,10 and 11 at 0.25sec.frequency coming off a initial accel frequency of approximately 0.20sec.for strides
2,3,4,5,6,7
-way back in 2007-2008 we saw the videos of him covering 10m and 20m in the same as videos above,6 and 11strides respectively. only thing is that was in trainers.
Cont. -re:asafa
-if hes doing his initial power accel strides in his spikes, wouldnt that be more intense on his lower legs foott ankle and such, and thus once he gets into his mid race phase his elastic response has deminished somewhat(9steps per 2secs instead of his past 10strides per 2secs.)
-if indeed his brother is working on his rhythmn derived top speed, by staying on flat track year round, and mostly spikes on rubber track from feb./march onwards, if hes going to have him doing some warmup/maintenance work regarding his initial power
stride lengths in spikes on rubber, maybe it stands to reason he should be coming off a power phase on flat grass in spikes
of where he built up to and can cover that 20m power strides at 10.5, 10.6steps(instead of just 11 steps) and also his first 10m in 6 steps exactly or 6th step at 10.2meters.(instead of just shy of 6step at 10m)
Two astonishing times from last week- 15 year old Tia Jones running 12.84 in the 100mH and 16 year old Sydney McLaughlin, 54.46 in the 400mH.
Three women under 10.80 under legal conditions at the US Olympic trials!
I’m very impressed with Brommel and would love to know what he’s been doing over the last few weeks. He was running poorly earlier in the season and then had to take time off because of an achilles issue. How in the world do you come back from that and run two consecutive 9.8 races and equal your PB?
He wasnt running poor at all, he just had one bad 200 overseas.
He ran well over 10s in a number of races and wasn’t even in the top 30 worldwide until this weekend.

well she was about to speak in tongues. SHe has always been a odd one
Disappointing there from Vicaut, but good to see one of the world’s most obnoxious sprinters, James Ellington get thrashed.
Yeah definitely disappointing from Vicaut, but he did look flat, especially in his semi. I wonder if he trained through this meet to be right in Rio.
Judging by his form, he did look like he was training through this meet. Same with Reus who got knocked out in the semi. I was actually expecting Reus to medal at this meet given his recent 10.03.
This was Reus’ semi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1BpL0O5C3U
Vicaut and his coach were very surprised and disappointed by the result: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.athle.fr%2Fasp.net%2Fmain.html%2Fhtml.aspx%3Fhtmlid%3D5106&edit-text=&act=url
