Has anyone attributed Jeters speed to just plain on ole hard work and superior technique? After what Marion Jones went through any track and field athlete who is willing to risk their career let alone their freedom would be a legitimate fool. Oh the BTW Jeter is one fine chick.

Wow!! Look at her form

[MultiThegimp]

This is a very fast track

Perfect for sprinting gay got 9.69 here

[puljacina]

if jet reaches this form again next year then she'll explode to a high-mid 10.5

@CHEETAH69 Her rise already started in 2007, before she changed her coach and peaked in late 2009 season than stabilize around her actual values, check in her bio

[Marslander2030]

@CHEETAH69 my god where did you find all this information about her!? i never heard or never read in her bio that she run any 400 m !?

[MrFlexybee]

@CHEETAH69 You are really right ,i have notice Jeter run with techniques right from the textbook of john smith but VCB try to rely on pure and natural speed which is good but to some extent cause her to loose a lot of ground.and this evidence to the fact why Allyson is a mutiple gold medalist,she does not run with only her pure speed but felix incudes beautiful techniques like great endurance and relaxation right to the finish line.

Also, (last post, I swear) Jeter has probably THE best form of any runner on the circuit today. From the placement of her hands to the lift in her knees to the positioning of her feet as they touch the ground, she is textbook. VCB on the other hand, always looks like she's about to fall on her face with her legs flailing wildly from side to side.

after reading some comments, I have to make a case for the importance of changing one's technique. I trained for 3 years with one coach. I switched coaches and within 8 months, I dropped .38 from my 100, 1.3 seconds from my 200 and 2.5 whole seconds from my 400. I must add that I included a lot more weight training. But my running style COMPLETELY changed and I was a totally different runner. I'm not saying Jeter is clean. I'm just asking that you not ignore the significance of technique.

[CHEETAH69]

@TheAngeltoDemon I can't say whether or not Jeter is clean. And I'm certain some on the circuit have their suspicions. But Jeter was perpetually hurt before. She didn't weight train nearly as much and she says her mental approach to running was screwed up. I think it's possible to address each of those things, in addition to a change in technique and then transform a runner from a so-so sprinter into a world class one. I think also John Smith is too smart to risk a positive test.

@DJRedsocks

Even with a tweak to the arms, that won't cut a half a second off your 100m time in a year. I would love to hear what the other girls on the circuit are whispering about jeter. And i have a strong feeling it isn't, wow, that jeter has really improved her technique. Btw, that video you sent me is an interesting one, but i don't get how everyone is so easily fooled. But I guess that is what you mean by the ground contact:)
