nonsense
mj was a monsta in '96
in '95 when he won 200/400 with 19.79/high-43 he weighed 195
for '96 he spent his life in the gym & weighed
210 !!!
he had incredible power in '96
he wouda blasted the 1st 30 as hard as anyone
Even if he was in 9.6 shape from 50-100, his first 30m was just not fast enough to get out there and get anything close to the WR
learn
he split 10.12 on the curve, even with the oft-quoted mis-step
more relevant, his rt was 0.161 when 0.13 is hoped for
from laws of physics, you cannot run a curve as fast as a straight 100 - it's called centripetal force consideration
the curve at least cost him 0.20s
that means he ran a
9.92
( or a 9.89 with a 0.13 instead of 0.161 )
followed by a 9.20
no one can run their flat-out 100 & hold on for another 100m
therefore he musta had upto coupla tenths in reserve for last 100
that gives him 9.72 ( or 9.69 with 0.13 )
i was being ungenerous & "only" offered him 19.75 - 19.80
or you can just go for time immemorial rule of thumb conversion
200 time = 2 * 100 time
19.32 ->9.66
slow him a tenth for having concentrated on 200 for few years
If he could have, he would have, because even MJ knew the 100m is the money race and the world's fastest man title
he didn't care about 100
not everybody does
after his debacle in barcelona he only wanted 1 thing in his career - 200 gold
I don't get how on earth you think he lost nearly 2 tenths from a tiny misstep. That probably lost him .01 at most.
he lost 0.03 for rt
that mis-step mighta been similar
