Mo greene's definition of the 100m, what do you think Mr Francis?

From the tracks themselfs? If thats so, then all other longer distances be run faster than average on them same tracks too! Any way of finding out stuff like this?

Not quite, cause the rebound characteristic depends on stride rate, so softer is better as you go beyond 200 (or maybe 400 at the farthest)

Question:

How did Powell run 3x 0.83 10m splits during his 9.74, and not maintain top speed at all?

-Powell was relaxed and not pushing. Nobody was anywhere near him. This keeps him from tightening up and slowing down (a-la Osaka).
-There was a tail-wind. Wind speeds are not consistent, so it is possible that he could have benefited from a gust.
-I consider this unlikely, but he may not have been running at top speed. He might have been able to get a .82 split in that race, but didn’t due to the fact that it was a heat.
-Look at Flo-Jo’s splits from Seoul.

Makes sense and ya I remember Flo Jo’s straight 0.90s I think.
