Believe it or not... he was one of the strongest athletes in terms of weight lifting etc... except his physic doesnt show it. I remember a little discussion on that on a program on the BBC a few years a go. Thats were his explosiveness comes from... his natural strength.
-
also some people dont need huge legs to jump like kadour ziani, just tough tendons and fast twitch muscles etc.

triple jump is about the speed you keep between each jumps you do to get more distance for a farther jump
-
@jive87 for a triple jumper it is because its not all about speed
-
A great athlete and a gentleman too. Finally he won Olympic Gold in Sydney.
-
@Speeedo86 nooo, the stupid BLACK yanks say white men cant jump.

yeah 10.5 not fast at all...

Well, feet aren't standard measurement... but to answer your question that's about 59 1/2 feet, which is basically 60 feet.

his PB where
100m:10.48
triple jump: 18.29m WR
long jump: 7.41m

Yeah but his acceleration over the first 30m is meant to be like godly, which is what counts for triple jump, so he is pretty damn fast where it counts haha
-
no, he wasnt that fast. he ran like 10.50 in the 100. he just her a great weight to force ratio. and perfection of the form
It's more than 7 meters (6m + 5m + 7m aprox.)
