The camera quality has imoroved drastically😅

[@razorr_o]

Yes
And framerate 😅

[@Africa1000]

Definitely expecting big things from Tebogo in future.

[@onebigo]

This video was really cool 😃👍

[@mxRian4]

I think Joseph Fahnbulleh could do something special with his train-like buildup.

[@CalvinHikes]

2:56
The most dismissive 9.87 ever.

[@Shiraggupta08]

Thats what i was thinking

[@adriannmb]

THE 5 FASTEST 100 METER ARE FROM 2000 -2015 Gatlin- tyson gay- asafa powel - jhoan blake and bolt

[@speeddemon3371]

Jamaicans understand the importance of using proper mechanics
Sprinting is not just about raw power

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

sprinting is about speed abviously

[@gmaxsfoodfitness3035]

@@Leonidas-eu9bb You're lost. Speed Demon is talking about biomechanics instead of just strength to get more speed "abviously".

well that explains why I ran the 50 meters in 5.5 seconds yesterday (on ashes)

I'd say 2010's are the "relaxation" era

[@sabaffira]

Lyles: hip extension era

[@elijahebbert6884]

Eh, carl Lewis kinda did the same thing tbh

[@jameshegeman5660]

I don’t see Lyles threatening to win any major 100m titles. He’s a speed endurance guy.

[@shams6598]

Yaaaa Lyle's hip extension is hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gokuljaras1998]

🙌👏⛳🤩

[@CharlesHiroshi-k9h]

I kinda wonder what happens if 80s runner did drive phase and front side mechanics? Will someone might beat Usain Bolt if they used that technique?

[@dTristras]

The question is, what in earth Freds running style is ???

[@shams6598]

Patient acceleration

[@thesource0024]

Left off the top 3 fastest times from bolt. But gave us a couple semi finals and diamond league races 🙃

[@jaykay6761]

I think a lot of us have seen those top 3 races 100+ times by now

Lyles hip extension

[@Sough]

Anyone else not know what the hell frontside mechanics is lol

[@jameshegeman5660]

“Front-side mechanics” refers to keeping the leg action mostly in front of the body. It is achieved by maintaining a neutral (or even slightly rounded) torso, a neutral hip position (to allow sufficient knee lift), and focusing on the hammer action of the feet against the ground to make toe-off occur as early as possible. The key theoretical advantage of using excessive front-side mechanics is that it gives you the greatest amount of distance & time over which to accelerate the foot, and thus might allow for the highest speeds (*if* foot acceleration is a limiting factor… which it may or may not be).
The two paragons of front-side mechanics are Asafa Powell and Marcel Jacobs. (I wouldn’t call Usain Bolt an “excessive” front-side guy. Bolt is more well-rounded.)

[@jameshegeman5660]

Marcel Jacobs is probably the best example of someone who *might* be running with too much frontside action.
Incidentally, too much frontside leg action makes acceleration nearly impossible, and this may be one of the reasons that Jacobs comes on so late in 100m races.

[@shams6598]

Now Lyles hip extension

[@RelicHunter123]

Is this video specific to male sprinters only?

[@garrysekelli6776]

Not the power era. The steroid era.
