Usain BOLT/ Long jump : What potential ???

[79.]

Without any technical basis, do you see any kind of monster jump ( I did not
mean monstruous :wink: ) jump from the fastest man in the World ever ?

In any case Dwight Howard is leaps and bounds ahead of him. :lol:

Bolt or Howard?

How bout the triple jump :roll:

Howard for me always foot the bill as having tremendous ability for the long jump. He would just need to transfer that elevation to length. Pity I dont kno what his pace is like

Howard for me always foot the bill as having tremendous ability for the horizontal leaps. He would just need to transfer that elevation to length.

I would add a younger healthy Vince Carter as well

Pablo McNeil, former Jamaican Olympian and the man credited with discovering Bolt, I believe, tells a story in which Usain as a junior jumped seven metres at William Knibb.

Could you imagine what Vince would have done in the HJ....if he had his crotch up and over that one Olympic player who was over 7-0 ft tall, imagine what he could have done training the HJ!! :shock:

[The Norwegian]

I'll give him 9,69m
celebrating the last two meteres

Vince has hops, but two-footed jumping ability does not always translate over to one-foot style high jumping. Oftentimes, their one-foot prowess is considerably less. Look at old tapes of Vince dunking and the times he took off from one foot are less impressive and awkward for him.

in that case its gotta be Clyde "The Glide" :-)
