Not likely. Women sprinters 10m split is a little over 60% of the 20m time. These are at 55%.
World champion Frazier Price adjusted for reacton converting m to yards first 10 yards 1.64
Marion Jones 1999 world champion would have been 1.58.
Average 11 grade softball player 1.65?

I doubt he was being serious. Some people have the “Contrary Hen” on their nightstand….

Probably so I miss that part of the brain. Lol
I am not criticizing the measurements as long as it is the same for each just stating why they may not be easy to replicate.

LOL You are an expert on that I think.

I do like to argue but that isn't the same as disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing which is what you did there.

Are you saying the ODM numbers are too fast? 5.7 40 is not fast.

And I was serious. 52/48 is the percentage split of the ODM numbers. I didn't make it up. Comparing an average from a 15,000 population to the NFL combine (300 players) or individual sprinters is not meaningful.

I guess the AVERAGE softball 10 yard split being at Olympic pace is not meaningful?

No. Even with fully automated timing systems, there are different starting methods, which could add/shave tenths of a second to the numbers. I think we can infer, with a 5.7 40 average, these girls are not running at an Olympic level.

Whether that is a 5.6 or 5.8 doesn't really change the 40yrd result... it's slow. But 1.5 or 1.7 at the 10yrd split, and you go from Elite Olympic sprinter to 320lb NFL lineman.

Which is with my original post, most likely they are getting a rolling start. You add .1-.2 to the start and you get split % that align with every other runner.
Just for the record on the site they have 1.4 recorded.
