So I came across this videos today thanks to an aritcle on the Spikes/IAAF website (

).
A few thoughts.
1) I think the videos are very well done.
2) I'm embarrassed for our sport that they have less than 3,000 total views (not each - total) on youtube (although it looks like the Felix one is doing better on facebook with 3,888 views).
3) Which one do you like the best?
Here they are:
Evan Jager:

Allyson elix:

Jason Richardson:

There are two versions of the Richardson one. Here is the other version

I think the Richardson one is the best but like them all. Felix is way more popular on both youtube and facebook as she's a mainstream star whereas Jager and Richardson are just gods in our track geekdom.
