      I think he’s taller than usual, so it takes him longer to accelerate at the start, but then he makes up for it with long strides.

        Meh. He is a bit taller than the norm at 6’ 5" for a 100m sprinter, but for over the past 50 years every single 100m gold medalist has been 6’ to 6 3".

        So really, he’s only 2" taller than most champions.
