Bolt splits in 9.58

I actually remember that he said in an interview he deliberately remained “low” until 40-50m, where he tried to run fully upright. Will try to find the text. I don’t really think his effort is submax, but that because of the angles he might be using during the acceleration his initial times could be bellow of what he is capable of. In fact most of the people actually accelerate faster off no drive phase and hit max v sooner.

I’ve looked at the films and I think his execution is about as good as it gets in the big finals IMO. Sometimes he pops up in less than optimal races so I don’t see how that would ever help him.
