compare the 40 yard dash to the 100m
I already said top flight SPRINTERS are at their highest speed at 50 meters
for the 100 you have to be able to change gears from your power, to your cruiser speed, then to your final quick turn over speed the last 20 yards. So a lot goes into it. The forty, if you have strength and you are lean enough all you need to get a good time is how quickly you get out the gate.
nikka Gatlin ran a 4.42 in the 40 at the Tennessee Pro Day.
shyt y'all asses down nikkas
Do y'all think Gatlin and Demps would be running track if they was good at football.
Demps dreamed to be an NFL player as a youngin. nikkas in the USA doesn't dream about the Olympics.

i would say it comes down to muscle fiber composition height/bone structure neural efficiency all that nerdy sounding shyt
i would bet you could find athletes more blessed in all those categories in the states big two(football/basketball) the difference with dudes like andre de grasse tyson gay is focused training but i am sure that there are athletes with much higher ceilings that simply took other paths
a good deal of cats in ja sprinting program would never touch the track if they came up in the states they'd be on the court or the gridiron more likely

Last comment...it's also been A LONG ass time since the US had track athletes that were household names. If I went and asked 100 kids ages 5-10 if they wanted to run like justin Gatlin, 97 wouldn't know him. If I asked if they wanted to be cam newton or lebron....they're gonna say yes. When I was a kid, I knew flo jo, Joyner kersee, Carl Lewis on GP, Michael Johnson made "MJ" into a trifecta (Jackson and jordan). That does a lot to get people interested, when was the last time we had a T&F athlete with that level of notoriety? JA has ascended since Bolt stepped up/out....that's not coincidence.
What you're also forgetting is the doping programs. That's one of the main things I mentioned as to what top football talents would have to do in order to compete on those levels and crack those sub 10 100s. These top track athletes now weren't cracking sub 10 until they started doping either. And yes I'm aware football and bball athletes are probably doping but it isn't the same doping track athletes are doing.
Once again nikka.
Terence Newman beat Justin Gatlin in college.
Terence Newman chose to go be a top 5 pick in the NFL over a track sprinter career.
I wonder who made more money
Stop making yourself out of a fool.

It's mostly based on Bolt. He's a Muhammed Ali, MJ, Barry Bonds, etc. in his sport. He dominates it, but he's retiring according to him. It will be interesting to see the results. A new group is coming up. We'll see.
because they don't win gold
a us women hasn't won gold in 100m since gail devers in 96 20 friggin years
and for men not since 04 with gatlin prob the most hated athlete out there
i live in canada and no one gave a crap about track till bailey won then no one gave a crap again and now degrasse has peaked our interest again and the funding starts
and you know flo jo, jackie, carl, mj because they won GOLD
nikka you're the one that brought up Jeff Demps 40 dumb nikka
yeah idiot, I borught up jeff demps because he had ONE OF THE FASTEST 40 times ever yet could not run a sub 10 100 time. To show you how a 40 means NOTHING compared to a 100m race.
Keep thinking that nfl players just because they run fast 40s could be elite world class olympic sprinters if they trained for track instead of the nfl. Like running under 10 seconds for 100m is easy as pie
