Rare footage never uploaded before, taken from the stand at mid-race by TAC film crew, with close-up on max velocity phase. Flo-Jo reached the 60m mark in 6.87, and covered the next 30m section in 2.69, sprinting at 11,1m/s, easily the fastest ever achieved by a woman. However, she produced her highest step frequency as early as 2sec after the start of the race, i.e. roughly after 10m, as shown in the graph.
