Gout Gout

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

That is the name of an Aussie sprinter only 17 years old who is stunning the track world.

He already owns that Aussie 200m record with a 20.04, good bye Peter Norman a former Olympic 200m silver medalist.

He just ran a 19.98w 200m at 17 that is amazing at that age. All us speed freaks expecting big things from this kid, but.......is he clean?

The most important aspect in sprinting is "speed endurance" that ability to sustain/maintain a large % of your topend your max velocity. Everyone decellerates in a 100 a 200 those who last longer and decellerate the least are the greats like Usain Bolt, Tommie Smith, Noah Lyles. As we can see this kid has that.

Sprinters run a lot of 300's in training,yep, that builds that "soeed endurance"

Fast footballers can hang with World Class sprinters in a 40, that distance takes no "speed endurance" but around 50ish the sprinter starts pulling away.

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

The best example of "speed endurance" is Tommie Smith the 1968 Olympic 200m gold medalist. He also held the 400 world record.

In 1968 our Olympic 4x1 team wanted a practice race so they ran at a meet vs some others. On anchor the soon to be Olympic 100m champ Jim Hines, in that race he ran a 9,95 becoming histories first legal sub 10.00.

Tommie Smith would anchor one of those other teams.

At the final exchange Hines had a solid 2m on Smith, yep......Smith ran him down.

Here he runs a 200m world record on the straight.



I only saw him once in person, that was a 4x2 in Fresno, he came from way back to run down New Mexicos Bernie Rivers (stud 200m cat) he split............19.5.

His coach Bud Winter......Tommie is unique in he doesn't lose his topend like a normal human being is suppose to.

Bullet Bob Hayes was a football player who just happened to be "The Worlds Fastest Human". In his career he would hold 11 world records. He was the first to break that 6.0 in the indoor 60 with his 5.9. He was the first to run a 9.1 for 100 yards. His 10,06 at the Tokyo Olympics is the superior time for the NFL, he ran that on a shoddy dirt track in 64, that trumps Hollidays 10,00.

Hayes a running back at Florida A&M, the Cowboys made WR out of him.

The above mentioned Tommie Smith also involved with 11 world records.

Bullet Bob winning that 64 Olympic 100m



Later he would come from way back on a 4x1 anchor to win another gold, his split..........8.6.

We were behind because two of our relayers Mel Pender and Trendon Jackson (soon to be an Eagles RB) got injured in the 100m heats, so we ran our 200m guys Paul Drayton and Richard Stebbins.

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

Usain Bolt started out as a 400m guy, but didn't want to do the work that event takes. So for years he ran the 200m long before he ever ran the 100m, so when he finatly did come to the 100m he had a whole other level of "speed endurance". what's a mere 100 to a 200 cat?

Nobody in history ever had a 6-5 stride in a mere 100m but this guy, he is unique that is why he is THE GOAT.

 

[Crazy Source]

Impressive. He didn't do it at 220 lbs.

When talking size with speed




That is a video, takes some time to load.

Another big RB with serious jets was this guy.......

Wasnt as big as those above more 215ish but was a legit "world class" sprinter the three above weren't. Dickey was a 10.10 cat. Jackson 10.3, Walker 10.2, Dupree 9.5 yards, Dickey 9.2 yards

Had a 1000 yard season as a Colt.

There is a video of Bo getting ran down, the guy who ran him down was an former SMU 400m cat named Rod Jones. He also ran a leg on the 4x1. Would have beat Bo at any distance longer than a 40.

Darrell Green who won a slew of NFL Fastest Man competitions only ran the NCAA DI 100m once, he came in 6th there were two soon to be NFLers ahead of him, any guesses who?

Green did run a 10.08 but was really more of a 10.2ish.

Speaking of 10.2ish

Deion Sanders PR 10.26
Herschel Walker 10.23

Both knew the NFL was their $$$$$$$ both could have ran faster if more serious, same with Jackson at 10.39,

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

The Raiders could fill 8 lanes (fantasy) where the slowest was a 10.16 guy, that is amazing.

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

This kid simply has.....IT.

His speed endurance is amazing, like Bolt he loses very little of his topend.

 

['Rocky']

Does he actually have gout though?

 

[Sir Elzio Dennick]

Would love to see this kid come on over maybe USC or Florida, TCU some USA school.

But I'm guessing he goes pro as soon as he can yep....$$$$$$$.
