The fourth picture is the give away. Along with the short arm movement. But the ability to form the number four with your legs that early in a race is critical for getting max force returned to you be decreasing your ground contact time.

I, too, try to lean forward with my weight over my shoulders in the "on your marks" position. At "set", I would fall on my face if it were not for my arms and hands holding me up. Yes, Coach Dunton's site was quite an overhaul. I hope it makes navigation easier, and the newsfeeds are great. @Bill – You are welcome.

The "set" position shows very clearly that his weight is farther forward than most novice sprinters. If his hands were lifted up, he would fall straight down--of course this doesn't happen in a race because he pushes forward with his feet (very powerfully and rapidly) from the blocks. Many coaches still have their athlets distributing their weight evenly between arms and legs. Borzov's form suggests this may not be the best. And thanks for the upgrades to Caoch Dunton's site! Much appreciated. Jimson,
