Yeah ..... Yao Ming with long strides and high turnover rate and it's a wrap!!!!No shit, rocket scientist.The problem with tall people is they usually don't have the strength/body weight ratio necessary to compete with shorter, more powerful folks. Bolt is an abnormally. That's why he's a legend. Not because he's tall.Most of Bolt's talent is born from birth, so your non-sense "training" is BS. You can train stamina/technique, but you can't do that much about natural speed. Either you have it or you don't.I was born with quite a bit average sprinting speed, so a someone with average sprinting speed will never be able to outrun me, no matter how much they train.You sorta need someone to merge Lebron James with Usain Bolts together to get the perfect storm. Power/Stamina combined with massive height and natural speed. But that person doesn't exist. No training will create that person.

You can't dope for that. This will now be the key in sprinting. Like basketball, height is an invaluable asset as long as you can train the individual to take advantage of it. A tall guy with long strides and high turnover rate and it's a wrap!
