Testing the Sprint Curve Model using the 150m Bailey-Johnson Showdown
J. R. Mureika
Abstract
Recently, a simple model was derived to account for a sprinter's energy loss around a curve, based on previous sprint models for linear races. This paper offers a quick test of the model's precision by comparing split times from Donovan Bailey's 150m ``Challenge of Champions'' race at Skydome on June 1st, 1997. The discrepancy in the track configuration which almost prompted Bailey to drop from the race is also addressed.
