maurice greene in the starting blocks

@christravis

have you ever watched travis padgett run before? his foot placement is really high up on the block and his even shorter than maurice greene, i think 5 ft 7 ? his start does look kinda wierd! if you watch him in this vid in stockholm you can see he puts his foot half way up the block in lane 8.

Not that it is only for his front block from what i observed in Monaco last year. It has not always been the case, and it might have change again with his new coach this season.
