CHARITY AUCTION IN SYDNEY: THIS SHOE, WORN BY BOLT TO RUN 9.8 (EITHER IN BEIJING OR BERLIN, NOT SURE) WENT AT AUCTION FOR $33,000. THE MONEY WAS RAISED FOR PROSTATE CANCER RESEARCH, A VERY WORTHY CAUSE.

BOLT DRILLING THE LINE ; FREE FOOT STEPPING OVER THE KNEE OF THE SUPPORTING LEG WHICH SHOWS TRIPLE-EXTENSION IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. THESE ARE ALL ASPECTS OF CHARLIE’S FUNDAMENTALS !
Drilling the line was an exercise Charlie used to use with sprinters to teach alignements and relaxation. Nice picture.
Is it a skip A?
Does the foot have to touch the line or land a little on the side?
In the GPP DVD Charlie is showing a similar drill, but it is a sort of very slow-motion sprint.
Feet naturally aligned, so either side of the lane-line.
although Bolt is clearly on the line?
Yep, clearly.
did you tell him he was doing it wrong?
Wasn’t at the session
That girl is going to an amazing hurdler. Especially when she works out how to keep her speed in the 11.2s and also hurdle, which is just a matter of practice. Is she still coached by the same female coach i met a few years back?
Well, she’s already got the Beijing Olympic silver medal TC. Her coach since the age of about 10, I think, remains Sharon Hannan. “Shaz” as she refers to herself sometimes, is a grandmum but extremely switched on. Knows how to get the most out of Sally when the time arrives.
Still looking good:p
