To this day, scientists are still trying to figure out how he has achieved this unprecedented speed.
Although most people often think that being too high is not conducive to starting, Bolt is 1.95 meters tall, when Bolt became a track and field athlete, he always paid attention to strength training to make up for the innate shortcomings of being too high and not being good for starting. Therefore, Bolt's starting and performance are both "top in the world".
In the Bolt competition,
Bolt's maximum speed run on the way is quite fast. It is often in the running stage on the way, and there is a significant gap with other players. Since Bolt's performance in the acceleration, maximum speed and deceleration stages are quite outstanding, covering up his sharpness of starting at the world, most people often misunderstand that Bolt is not good at starting. In fact, in the 100m race, few people in the world can not fall behind Bolt when passing the 10th metre. After the 20th meter, Bolt was almost the fastest player on the track.Bolt, who is 195 cm tall and has two long legs, only needs 41 steps to run 100 meters, with an average pace of about 2.44 meters throughout the journey. Generally, players need to reach 44-50 steps.

sprint sprint frontier experts said that when they studied Bolt's step video, they also found an unexpected situation: Bolt's peak force when touching the track with his right foot seemed to be about 13% higher than his left leg. Each time he stepped, his left foot stayed on the ground about 14% longer than his right foot. Although the effect of asymmetric strides on speed is not yet fully understood, the results of uneven strides may be beneficial for Bolt. To adapt to the consequences of scoliosis, Bolt naturally formed that way of stride.
