Letsrun Experts, are there any flaws in their running form that would keep them from running 1:41/1:42 in the future?

Andrews does a little extra arm movement, particularly with right elbow. He's also on his toes a lot. Still one of the smoothest runners I have ever seen in person.

ya i noticed the same thing with his right arm (i think that was it) having some extra movement towards the sides and his left arm seeming to "pump" a little bit extra. andrews seems like he hunches a little bit more but otherwsie he seems fine, maybe a few arm issues with them looking a little bit more flaily.
hoinestly though, so long as thy're not landing on their heels i dont think any of those supposed "flaws" will keep them from achieving great success in not jsut competition but in times as well. wheating is as smooth as they come and andrews kick (assuming he is able to not rely on soley that) will carry him far. just look at rudishas form, pretty smooth but he's got his own "flaws" and yet is on the brink of breaking 1:41
Wheating's head seems too far up.
you have to be willing to go out hard, probably sub 50, if you want to run 1:41, even if you're trying to kick on kaki or Rudisha. are they going to ever go out hard?

There's an oxymoron if I've ever seen one

Well he runs in those nike zoom victorys, and those shoes will force you to race on your toes.
I feel like Wheating doesn't have that lean like borzakovskiy does, but maybe he runs better "sitting" in position.
