We're talking 200.

Tebogo looks so smooth when sprinting you might think he runs a middle distance But no he runs like WR’s and 9:8s and 19:5s with his GOATED form best to ever do it

He had the world record for the 300M And he dropped a 43:29s split in the 4*400m relays

How did former WR holder Pietro Mennea not make this list? His sprinting form was more efficient and productive than a handful of the people who did make the list.

The criticism of Carl Lewis is he used forward-and-back motion with his arms, in contrast to Ben Johnson's more efficient elliptical motion. You can see this with a simple test: rotate your hands in a back-and-forth motion and then move them in a circle. I was told this by a Russian sprint coach who apparently coached Valeriy Borzov.

How Maurice Greene hit the ground is beautiful to watch. He use negative foot speed. This is visible in front.

@@csmith9248 After nearly extending the lower leg forward, his hamstring tightens and brings the leg back at a speed opposite to the direction of running. This creates a large impact force into the ground that pushes it forward. You can watch the USATF 100m final from 2005 where he gets injured, but what I'm explaining is very clear. If you watch the cheetah run, it also has negative leg velocity. This is the biggest secret to running fast.

There's little footage of him, so understand why he didn't make the list, but Tommie Smith is worth consideration for a high placing.

HIs technique and speed distribution were decades ahead of his time. 19.83 is still an elite time even now with fitter athletes, better technology, and better "restoratives."

FloJo was the best I've ever seen. Male or Female. She was perfect.

@@sleepyizo3107 bolt ran 19.19 without the best technique. He fell apart that last 20m. If your strong, fit and fast you can run a super fast time. When he ran that 19.49 he wasn't under pressure but when he ran against Lyles about a month or so afterwards Lyles use technique and efficiency to beat. Lyles didn't beat him that day he beat himself by losing his technique

I would say that Wayde van Niekerk has the best running form.

I was hoping you'd do this for the 200m, nice vid

Tebogo takes it hands down he just ran the fastest time ever in the 300m he's speed economy is insane plus Carl Lewis he could fly through the air like Superman wow those were the days

This channel is great I just silently upvote any video I >>>>>have

Tbh this is a great list But I wondered by do all praise green’s form so much? Like yeah he looks powerful but no where as easy as an Marcell Jacobs, elastic like Lyles, smooth like tebogo or powerful and presize as Bolt like I just don’t get it someone please explain and glaze on Maurice Green’s form I would have placed Tebogo higher top 3 at least

Michael Johnson?. Fantastic curve runner

When Valeriy Borzov won the 200m in at the Munich Olympics in 1972, that was the SEA LEVEL world record, which is rarely recognized for the important accomplishment that it was.

FloJo

Tebogo number 1 technique

You gotta remember that Bolt has scoliosis so that will always affect his stride/ mechanics

Tommie Smith, unknown in today’s list but a example of efficiencies of sprint form in many events showing relaxation speed and stride length.....

Puripol Boonson’s technique is quite good

Walter Dix, Kirk Baptist, Kenny Bednerick, to name a few.

Flo Jo rules them all.

8分39秒から見られるジャスティン・ガトリンの走りは必見‼️ タイムは確か20秒台だったと思うが これほど見事な走りもなかなかないんじゃないかな！？ 着地によって体幹がゴムボールのように弾みながらも まるで地面の方が後方に流れているかのように見事に水平運動に転換されている‼️✨

stamina, strength , genetic foot speed , play a huge role in it.

Tyson G. is underrated. He could've gotten close to WRs if he didn't zigzag his first 4-8 steps. However, Bolt's the best because he uses long strides and moves side to side.

those famous finish lines, Tyson held a technically clean posture and form and looked more controlled than Bolt

You should have included Shawn Crofort and Kostas Kenteris from Greece. Exceptionally good sprinters both but with proper technique and a more poetic way for running (especially Shawn Crofort)

Top 20 best race execution/tactics?!

Asafa Powell???? Asafa has one of the smoothest actions in T&F!

FloJo, like many US sprinters, was doping

My favorite is Carl Lewis. Watch this video from the 1992 Olympics of the 4x100 from 11:00 to 11:25. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dnWixrp9msvaXaQ.html In this race, Carl Lewis doesn't run, he floats through the air.

The best technique is the one that brings you the records and the golden wares

Anatomy and strength result in technique! Technique is not something we should try to execute. It happen. We can't do anything during the race.

I think Asafa had near perfect form, Carl Lewis has to be on the list, and maybe Gatlin. Other fast sprinters got away with lesser form: Ben Johnson, Linford Christie, Donovan Bailey.

Technique ? Just technique ? Not considering , height , strength, stamina and leg speed ? Cuz, you can be a slow leg speed , weak, and short person with no stamina , and have perfect technique and do your 20+ second 100m runs with prefect technique. Usain Bolt does not have the perfect or best technique just because he is the fastest. I vote for Frankie Fredricks. He has the most prefect technique of any runner I have ever seen, in my opinion.

*Well, one thing is for sure, just because Usain Bolt has the World Record in the 200 meters doesn't mean he has the best form, I wouldn't even consider Bolts 200M running form top 10. I wouldn't teach that form to anybody, there other more appealing and economical forms to copy.*
