1948 Olympic 100M

Contrast how varied the starts were then compared to the near uniformity of how everyone gets out now. I suspect it is coaching, film, and repetition. 

 

I loved reading the history of track and field for some reason growing up in the 60s.  I recognised the story of Dillard not qualifying for his specialty in the 110M hurdles, but likely hadn't thought of it in over 60 years.
