We could debate till the end of the earth.I stand over what i say based on knowledge that i have ,in that i sprint once per week myself (up hills).Its Bolts genetic stride that makes him gets these times,not neccessarily his sprinting power.Sprinting doesnt consist of many variables,you have initial starting power off the blocks,accelleration,stride and deceleration at the end.Which one do you think Bolt uses best?He is shit of the blocks,his accelleration is slightly above average,average at that level that is.What defines a good sprinter?Great starting power off the blocks and an great abililty to accerlerate.Stride doesnt ,its not something that can be imroved much unless your 6-5 and have extreamly long legs for that height.Then it enables you to make up for lack of power and acceleration.
