The Olympic Sprint Distance should be 55 Meters

That guy is a pathetic pile of synthol and HGH gut

Why not a 40 then?

So 55m guys are going to all of a sudden run a 4x1 leg, a 200m, a 4x4 leg?

It's not broke and needs fixing.

55m is not speed it is just start.

Sprint should not be a start contest, people should even have flying start.

I agree. They should add the 50 or 60 to the outdoor track and field lineup.

Yeah the main event should be the 50 meters.

All speed. No cardiovascular required.

Just all time PRs in squats translating into WRs in the 50 meters.

The 100 requires a cardiovascular aspect.. Meaning you have to have good lungs for it.

In the 50 let the best squatter in the world win.

We should look into the powerlifting world for potential candidates. But only the natural ones.

I see some potential candidates here.

One is Jamal Browner.

Just set a WR in the deadlift in the 242 class of 971 pounds ... Beat a Russian that held the previous deadlift of 970

Here is his 971 deadlift.

Incredible power to weight ratio.

I told him on his insta that he needs to take this power to the track and let's see what he can run a 60 in.

We have a potential WR holder in the 60 everyone.
