So, while dismissing the bullshit claims re Donovan Bailey having the highest speed (despite barely pulling to the lead in a race a half-tenth slower than 3 others out there)
you should fight your next speeding ticket measured the same way (and good luck with that!)

Sorry i don’t understand what you wrote (sorry, not so familiar with English language unfortunately).
Donovan’s alledged top speed was measured by the method that you have shown is wildly variable and therefore unreliable.
OK i got it now!
In Athens WC, as official report says, there was a necessity of smoothing the raw data from laser gun. From that raw curve, a flitered curve was determined, and it gave a top speed at 11.87m/sec for Bailey at 62.30m point, exactly the same top speed as Greene, 11.87 too at 58.10m. Other top speeds from that final are 11.74 for Fredericks, 11.67 for Montgomery, 11.66 for Ezinwa. The difference between Montgomery and Ezinwa looks ridiculous knowing how measurement was done! Also, laser gun caught Bailey at 11.91m/sec during his 8.94 anchor leg in these same WC.
Concerning Atlanta’96, where 12.1m/s were recorded for Bailey, i don’t know if it was the same method, note also that Boldon was given 12.1m/s too in his semifinal and Fredericks 12.0 in the other semi, i don’t know if it was exactly the same method used as in Athens’97. So no clue about accuracy, but at least, they gave 0.1 in Atlanta as opposed as 0.01 in Athens.
A last but very obvious example of inaccuracy in these analysis comanded by IAF is given in the 200m stride length analysis in Athens’97. Stride lengths are given for 100m to 130m section, and while some numbers are OK (Ottey 2.31m), others are completely unreal, like 2.61m by Melinda Gainsford, or 2.73m by both Da Silva and Oba Thompson. My guess is that they had a confusion in counting number of steps with the 130m line which is the place of markers for 3rd hurdles of 100mH, and 131.14m line, the place of the 4th hurdle of 110mH. Maybe there’s an other rational explanation, or simply there are mistakes by people who never saw these athletes run.
However, with these critics, i don’t want to take anything away from these unvalaible analysis which are source of great interest for evey coaches and statisticians. I whish same word were done in Athens’04 Games.
Charlie - please clear something up for me.
My understanding was that an “out” portion was the relaxation phase of the race model.
If you actually accelerate on an “out” why is it that in the first 20m of a race model 15m is “in” and 5 is “out”?
Through the phases of a 100m race
Acceleration
Transition
Velocity
Maintenance
Why is it that the majority of each phase is an “in”
Sorry I am very confused I thought the acceleration happened on the in and the recovery was the out.
PLEASE HELP
You draw in on the set command and hold your breath till the gun goes off, then you blow out very slowly under pressure, which should take you to 30m or so. wherever it takes you, that’s the time to breathe in! You don’t plan out your breaths- that’s a mug’s game.
