that Rick Kenah guy always looked totally weak.
He could move though
mark nenow
Steve Slattery
there were many times that j. gatlin looked a little pudgy.
Which elite runner has or had the most unathletic body?
For the late 70s early 80s it's a toss up between Doug Brown and Steve Plasencia. Malmo, what's your vote?
I'll go with Bob "Marshmallow" Kennedy definitely has the biggest speed to fast-look differential. There were guys on my high school team that looked faster than that guy.
Henry Rono; have you seen him lately?

Really? The guy was skinny/sinewy and all legs.

Yeah let's talk about male anorexia...
Bob Kennedy for sure.
Nick Symmonds looks fit, but not very athletic. He's got very short legs for a runner.
Webb, judging from the RW cover
the effeminate, latent homo threads.Not, that it's a bad thing .But count yourself included.
Actually, it's Craig Pickering. Dude looks like anything but a sprinter.

not from this photo
http://www.teambath.com/wp-content/uploads/Craig%20Pickering%20big.jpgThat photo just proves my point. He looks like an average stocky white guy with short limbs.

I also vote for Nick Symmonds. He looks very ripped with great muscles but if I were just to look at a photo of him, and his short stocky legs, I'd say no way does he run 800m that fast. He definitely doesn't look like a sub 4 miler either--those dudes usually have long lanky legs, longer than their upper body.
Toshihiko Seko had these short stumpy legs and a long torso too, he looked odd out there on the marathon course with the typical "runner" types.
