Why it's here

2 people recommend this

What commenters say. Commenters recommend this video to analyze foot contact and to show that elite sprinters do not stay entirely on their toes during acceleration.

On “Marcel jacobs runs on his toes”

[How about every single guy in this past 100m Olympic final 100m, including the guy mentioned inthe OP as not doing so]. If watching on a PC, you can use the period and comma keys to go frame by frame and see everyone's entire foot on the ground. It's a good angle to see them around 2:40 or 2:45 or so.

On “Blocks felt pretty good today🙏 What’s y’all’s thoughts”

Yeah after the first couple of steps, stop with the toe dragging. You're overdoing the low heel recovery. It even causes you to lose balance on your 4th step. Look at this race: link to this video After the first two steps, they all start lifting their feet
