Most definitely. I've been smoked by some short people in soccer, where fast twitch muscles in an understatement. I want to watch him get a clean start and hit 9.4 someday. Let's just hope he's clean... unlike some of his Jamaican brethren recently.

Haha, ya no doubt, I would say he is, he doesnt look like he's dabblin' in the sauce. Mind you, there are so many new steroid being created, sometimes you cant tell just by looking. The Olympic comittee has extremely strick steroid testing, including tests for blocking agents and the like, so I would say hes clean. If hes smart he'd stay clean because no one gets away with it forever.

He still isn't quite the finished article which makes it even more astonishing. I'm sure he could whittle his time down over the next few years. A few have mentioned his height as an advantage which over the last 70m is a definite plus but his start would be hindered a little more compared to a more explosive lower center of gravity shorter athlete but his power from 50m is almost impossible to stay with.

i dont see him losing for the next 5 years in the 100/200. and i agree hes gonna go faster.

yeah i agree, he could easily get 9.4 if he trained at it enough
