Dwain Chambers Q & A

In the forum review, this is addressed as the AVERAGE stride length remained constant but the distribution changed with more power/less contact time.

I thought 2008 was the first year powell hit 44 strides, running full tilt to the line (monaco9.82, gateshead9.87, lausanne9.72, stuttgart9.87).

Then I stumbled on the powell 10.05ParisWC2003Heat9-100m video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ZOTBsD96A&feature=channel_page
He went 44 strides in this 10.05 run, apparently running full tilt to line, way back in 2003 with a lesser built vessel. 2004, 2005, 2006 he seemed to run slightly shorter strides with more frequency. This past year 2008 he seems to have come back to this natural stride length from 2003.
