Discussion: Top Sprinters by speed (O-scores version)

Following people were absolute top 20 fastest sprinters during the year and therefore have highest probability to win "US" <..correction..> NA Sprint Champs "by time"

Only those who recorded at least 3 races in the database are shown here.
To be qualified (numbered) one needs to run 4 races at least.

It is quite different from the Official Sprint Series Standings

The official standings are not even trying to measure the fastest sprinter, so it is not particularly surprising they don't do a good job of it.

Also, the US sprint champs are already over, and were won (in M/F21) by Ross Smith and Ekaterina Orekhova.

thanks for the correction, feet.
It is well understood that Sprint series standing doesn't measure the speed.
Therefore the above mentioned table comes as add-on feature for those who would still like to see the speed related performance
