 Shingo Suetsugu
Japanese sprinter Shingo Suetsugu went down in history at the Paris 2003 World Championships. His bronze medal in the 200m makes him the first-ever Asian sprinter to take a podium in any world competition, Olympic Games included! Suetsugu's power is derived from his distinctive running technique. It involves coordinating the movement of his upper body with that of his lower body to minimize upper-body twisting. He says his technique is the same as that employed by a samurai walking, which is used to prevent the sword at his side from swaying. |
