or will he always struggle to get a brilliant start compared to others because of his size? :confused:

He has a great start. Just that Thompson had a fantastic one. Iā€™m waiting for the 30m splits.
go back a review the WR from New York if you doubt it.

Why does everyone one think his start is so bad? HIS start sets up HIS race. When they start giving prizes for fast starts then we can start saying how bad it is :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Bad starters:
Carl Lewis
Donavon Bailey
Usain Bolt
ā€¦interesting enough all were WR holders and all one Gold medals.:stuck_out_tongue:

Gotta love track and field

I suggest you reread my post

I wasnā€™t saying he has a bad start at all.

It was interesting to see in the semi that he was well ahead of Dix next to him after 3 strides

The final was covered extensively with real time race, slo-mo, and front angle I have not seen yet. Plus MJā€™s reaction and you have a bit of Phelps too.

Boltā€™s short interview is also presented.
