Yes, it was a big let down for the American sprinters at this summer Olympics. Well, they hardly have lost a metal since the modern OL games has started, so its a big thing, to have our best sprinters male and female loose or have poor performance.

The running sprints on the track is not that complicated nor require loads of prep time to perform, if you have the genetics with lots of strong type IIB muscle fibers. Since the 100 yard sprint last less than 10 sec and the 200, 20 sec. and so on, it don't take a lot of training time. However, the mental preparation,max speed training and form is about the only things to improve your place at the finish string. Yes, I can remember when strings were used as the finish line.

Have a great day suffering and remember the mission is sacred.
