Ben Johnson Starts

Ben Johnson is the ultimate running machine. His explosive start is more like a horizontal leap; each stride uses enough energy to light up a city block, and his top speed is 43 kilometres per hour. Training four hours a day for 11 years doesn't hurt, either. In 1987, In this clip, scientists, coaches and computers try to comprehend the physics of a man who can outrun every person on the planet.

Ben Johnson....the original Usain Bolt!

[JESSIETOMPKINS2012]

@Nilan6 yes BEN was the standard

[Marslander2030]

I find that Ben could more be compare to a male version of Carmelita Jeter , muscular sprinter, unbeateable on 100 m relatively poor on the 200 m but widely better starter, anyway both of them are the top in short sprint

@gottfried09 True that. Ben and his coach Charlie are the unsung heroes of modern day sprint training

[gottfried09]

@Nilan6 Although Ben doesn't get nearly as much credit as Usain. Such a shame
