Again, the shorter the distance, the less penalty incurred. Not a lot of massive 400m/800m types out there. If you’re still not sure, try to find several line ups of top 60m performers, and then look at several lineups of 400m runners. See if you can differentiate the two groups on BMI.

There was actually a study not long ago that showed larger athletes (on average) up to 400m versus 60/100m.

The reigning WIC for 60m is pretty small overall. Andre Cason is TINY and one of the best 60m guys ever.

Michael Johnson is/was bigger than BJ/Cason/Mo and specialized in the longer sprints.
