The "Lightning" Bolt?

Question

Man i was amazed by how fast that BOlt guy from jamaca is...i am wondering is he only real fast becuase of his height? Or is if he were shorter would he be even faster?

Answer 1

apparently alot of people said tall people couldnt run fast, he proved that wrong, so his height is nothing to do with it, yes he has a bigger stride but to mix that with immense power is hard to do but he has managed it which is why he is so good.

Answer 2

My friend, this man could out run a city bus in the middle of rush hour in New York City. I guess being tall does have it advantages.

Good luck

Answer 3

His legs are so long that he doesn't even have to sprint! He can just jog or dance right into the finish line for the gold!

Answer 4

He is tall for  a sprinter.

Speed is also dependent on the number of fast twitch muscle fibers the individual has and the ability of the nervous system to contract them and move him forward at a high rate of speed.

He could have probably run a 9.60 if he did not start showboating 20 meters before the finish.

Answer 5

If he was shorter no way in h**l he would be that fast.

He's built perfect for running.

Answer 6

No, he has some pretty long legs. Which helped him finished that race breezly and setting a world  record
