I don't think he could pull that off... if you watch his 100 races, he pulls away during the last 55-60 meters. The 40 relies heavily on the start and all sprinters don't reach top speed until after the first few seconds.

I don't know how the guy calculated it but he pretty much stands by it. But of course I agree about not reaching top speed right away.

No doubt... but I also think starting off blocks and running on a track gives a bit of an advantage over three point stance on grass too. Regardless, he's be pretty swift in the 40- I actually think Asafa Powell may be better in a straight burst race like the 40.
