- In this video we take a look at elite female sprinters of varying heights to examine if there are any advantages or disadvantages present among shorter/taller athletes for the 100 and 200 metres

The main factor at play in women’s sprinting is turnover speed. The best women in the world have some incredibly fast foot contact times, which is why a lot of shorter women are very dominant. The stronger factor at play for men is stride length
absolute wrong!
Stride frequency and length are just effect of running speed not the cause. Shortening the ground contact time does not make you faster. Taking longer strides does not make you faster either.
But longer limbs are a big advantage because they allow one to stay on the ground longer at the same speed as with shorter limbs. That's why Bolt had GCT of ~0.9s during his WR!
Why are you guessing and making incorrect assumptions? Nothing you said has any foundation in science, in fact science had refuted this since the 80s.
@@Hengel_Andrews haha. i understand simple laws of physics. Your science should be flushed down the toilet!
@@Leonidas-eu9bb women often have gct of .06 . The trade off is theyre not ass powerful and arent able to create as much distance per step which is why the fastest women are only taking 47-51 strides as opposed to 41-45
@@Christian-se5si No sprinter is has GCT under .07s! Women take more steps because of their shorter limb length. Power is also a reason but women are lighter so they don't need as much power.
The bigger you are, the more strength you need to accelerate all that weight and get a good start. Longer strides normally pair with a bigger frame.
I've been wondering about this for a while. Thank for making a video on this topic!
It's a shame that Schippers' peak didn't last for longer but 2 WC Golds and a championship record in the 200m is very impressive.
Netherlands seem to have some serious talent in the women's 400m right now
& Femke is tall at 184 / 6'
It's evident that for female sprinters it pays to be a bit taller for the 200 meters than for the 100 meters. Top speed is more important at 200 meters while a great start helps for the 100 meters. Still, it's not so intuitive that several of the best females in the 100 meters have been rather short, 5'1" to 5"4". Fraser-Pryce is a great example but so is Sha'Carri Richardson, or Marie Josee Ta Lou.
FINALLY Y UPLOADED OMG
I always thought the shorter person would have a disadvantage bc there legs have to move twice as fast to keep up with someone that's taller ( longer legs)
i loved watching Ashford run back in the 80s, she was so smooth looking. she's my favorite by far.
Still my favorite of all time love watching her race
Im 5'9 but whenever I'm watching these ladies run on tv i always believed they are tall;well except for Frazer Pryce,Sha Carri and ta lou😂😂 I can't believe how tall Iam now
Even Christian Coleman who looks short compared to everyone else is actually 5'8.
Well yeah 5’9 is pretty tall for a woman. Track isn’t one of those sports where you have to be huge to succeed
5’9 for a man is short
@@mssha1980 Nope, 5'9 is actually the average height for an adult male across the world.
@@yennox5338 ok. It just isn’t tall for a man
0:07; I'm sorry but the end of that 4x1 race between NED & SUI will never stop being funny :) Quite telling that to date there are no women below 5' 6' that's run a wind-legal sub 21.7s. Will be interesting to see if Sha'Carri (21.92 PB) who ran 21.61 (+2.6) or roughly 21.80 (0.0) in R1 of the 200m @USAs last year will be the first to do so.
There’s all this data to the 200m and in that data you’ll see all these 1 off fast pbs that don’t fit.
Pretty obvious to me that she could have done it if she were fresh and going all out, that would easily counteract 0.6 in wind. Interesting to think about how shortness may equal more fatigue though, one might think that less weight and muscle means less energy used or less lactic, but I guess the stride frequency overrules that
@@Sough The 'shortness' is more to do with stride length combined with frequency as longer legged sprinters with very good frequency & speed endurance can really eat up the track in the 200m with Gabby Thomas being a great example.
Interesting analysis
Miller Uibo is the equivalent of a 6'6/6'7 Male Sprinter
She is godly
Stunning woman. Beautiful and elegant on the track. Moves like a goddess.
Is this the same in male sprinting. Coleman is the best starter ever and aswell not the tallest
ShellyAnn Fraser Pryce was not always muscular either. 🤔 I love her but I’m just saying…many of these sprinters don’t always start out muscular. Some never build it.
As a 176CM(5'9.25) male,my school's athletics games are coming. I've not had a roper sprinting program,in my secondary school I wasn't fast. I've been making researches,it seams 200m will be better for me,but I'll also try 400m(I can build endurance,I used to play football to become a professional)
I guess you mean American Football?
A brain injury, would be more certain, than the opposite!
What is your birth month?
Mine is January.
My brother once said to me: "You are 182 cm. (just beyond 6ft).
@@maikotter9945 football⚽️
Still really missing Tori Bowie :(
Yes. To this day.
In one of her news interviews, she had said that all she wants is a statue in her hometown as a memory. Naturally, this is long before she died. The state of Mississippi should erect a statue in her hometown and the state capital. It's the very least they can do for an Olympian.
My question would be what is the difference in leg length. A shorter lady that has a longer leg/short torso build would match up better with a taller lady I would suspect.
Shelly has the best start abd Elaine has the best top speed and Shericka can maintain her top spedd the longest.
Sha'carri is actually 5'1"
She looks TALL on tv lol like long. Thats crazy .
@@KLoff-pg1dmshe has long legs
Jeter wasn't always so muscular. 👀
She’s saucy for sure.
Jackson to run 10.5 in the 100m this year
Yes with drug
I wouldn’t be surprised if shericka has peaked in her 100m because she have so few things in her 100m to improve on.
So she could possibly break her pb but sub 10.60 is tough.
Elaine has a better chance of running sub 10.6 again. And Shacarri has a better chance of running sub 10.6 than shericka has of doing it.
The ship has sailed on Shelly.
Fraser Pryce's turnover is breathtaking. How do you train to have fast twitch muscles like that?
You don't.

Watch at 2x speed
Cadence means a lot as well. Body balance shorter seem to have better efficiency.
Nope. On the opposite. Shorter sprinters go fast by having a very high cadence, which is INefficient (more energy is lost by moving the limbs at a high rythm, just like driving your car in the first gear all the time). However on the distances shorter than 300 meter that does not matter much, because these distances can be run on anaerobic metabolism which provides enough raw power. On the 400 however efficiency starts to matter, because after about 300m anaerobic energy starts to dwindle and lactic acid starts building up. That is also the reason that most top level 400 meter runners are relatively tall and not to heavily built, and have very good running form.
@@rientsdijkstra4266bird brain, EVERYONE gets lactic acid at 300m no matter the height. Use your brain.
what? Since when is Shacarri 5 foot 0?
She’s 5’1 irl but some online info be saying she’s 5’0
That mean shericka gone break both records wait and see
Why we talking abt jones when she was using drugs
and Flo-Jo as well.
You could say the same for many people
Shacarri is 5 1
I’ve notice no 5ft male sprinters and certainly have noticed 200m runners are taller in women.
Its all about weight balancing
For anyone thinking Schippers is a gigant: she is just above average length for a woman in The Netherlands wich is 5'7. So this whole video was hillarious to watch as a Dutchy for what is considered average and tall by the narrator xD
She's just over 5ft 10. That's still tall for a Dutch woman if the average is 5ft 7.
Richardson is 5’1
Wait, height has a different effect for men than women? Please.
Men’s professional sprinting overwhelming favors tall bodies, whereas women’s sprinting has dominant athletes throughout the height spectrum, although most female sprinters tend to be higher end of average female height to moderately tall.
Does it? I mean Usain Bolt was always told he was too tall for the 100m and it used to be thought that really tall men couldn't run the 100. Bolt CHANGED that viewpoint.
@@michaelmaxwell2464yeah…changed the viewpoint FOR MEN. People are so delusional to think tall people can’t sprint 100 meters, they still think that to this day..especially for women.
@@gummy5862Amongst the top 10 fastest 100m runners of all time, 6 of them are below 6ft. Baring this in mind, you can't say it overwhelmingly favours tall bodies. If anything it's neutral. It wasn't till Bolt came around when people started this whole thing of taller people having an advantage.
Marion Jones would’ve won those Olympic medals without any enhancement . . . . She was way too good anyway🤷🏽♂️
I guess we'll never know
They are all enhanced
In the 2000 Olympic final most of the women were on PED’s and tested positive or were excluded later. It was unfair not just to let Marion keep her gold medal. Despite that I think what she did was deplorable.
All these heights are incorrect
What about "Games of Mediocracy"?
The gold medal, would be given to the athlete, with most MEDIAN result!
A 100 meters Women´s World Championship Final, without anybody from Asia, is telling very much!
° 8 starters; 5 from the Americas, 2 from Ivory Coast; 1 from the Netherlands
The Dutch have the tallest population on MEDIAN!
9:53: I noticed a reference to Abby Steiner (5ft 6in,) who has a compelling leg drive and, although not on the list, completed the 2022 world championship.
😊
Only Shelly Anne Fraser-Pryce...
SAFP
Efficient use of my time watching 30 races or whatever it was 😀
I just want to see Abby Steiner videos.
Actually that is bs...
W've heard this aslong as humans can remember but being longer does not mean you faster in long sprints.
Or if you shorter you be faster on the short sprints, actually it has nothing to do with any of these things.
It is about how fast you feet can hit the ground after each other and nothing else...
Which comes down to training and training and training
That's what strike rate is how many times your feet hit the ground. Exactly what the narrator was saying so listen right!
@@geelb-fe7ef Do you got brain problems?
Exactly!!
It’s all about training
@@geelb-fe7efuse your brain. He said it’s about how fast your feet hits the ground, not how many times it hits the ground. There’s a difference, bird brain.
Typically, shorter runners have a better start and acceleration, but get reeled in by the stride rate of taller athlete.
False
@@princesskodsoj7709He said 'typically'. You may mention outliers but this is a fact.
None of this crop will beat Flo Jo rip!
Flo jo was clearly juiced up to the limit
@@W4nnabe_C0leman she passed every test given to her never failed one
@@callumbush1 bro ben johnson passed every test except one 💀💀💀 Flo Jo got lucky she died so young asw she looked like a man 👨
@@W4nnabe_C0leman you've no idea what you're talking about.
@@callumbush1 says you she was clearly juice the real wr belongs to elain e and shericka
The size doesn't matter. For American and Jamaican sprinters it is solely due to doping. They're just pumped full of it.
I’m sorry that the women representing your country are slow, but just because American and Jamaican women are fast and one of the most talented doesn’t mean they’re doping lol cope
@@Lalaland-og9xr Everyone knows that they are pumped full of doping. Anyone who claims otherwise is a complete idiot.
So, are you one?
Or maybe everyone else is slow 🤣
So height affects sprint speed different in women and men.
