Another strong race for Powell to start the season.

He looks like he struggles to be smooth over that last 20-30m though. His recovery mechanics have never been as ‘complete’ or ‘easy’ as say Bolt or Gay. Just wondering if that is a function of leg limb proportion between upper and lower leg, or if he has flexibility issues in the quads, or if the exaggerated technique he uses doesn’t allow him to be smoother as fatigue sets in?

Thoughts?
