Pat is being coached my Esa Peltola who is now the head of Sports Physiology at the Australian Institute of Sport.
Be careful of interpreting technique from still photos as you don’t knoe where in the race they’re taken. In the photo, he could be approaching the finish.
True, good point! He could be dipping for the line, but I’ve noticed his shoulders are rolled forwards in all his professional races as well. So I not sure if it is bad coaching or just an idiosyncracy of his. I know Trevor Graham coaches this but does Vince Anderson coach this as well?

YUP!
He’s going to do it! But he still not the fastest man in the world. I just think that if/when he does break the 10 second barrier it’s going to be such big news and they might start to over look the other 30 guys or so who broke it (10 seconds) before him…
