He had a reaction time of >.4–think that maybe his prosthetics don't let him start efficiently enough to run the shorter races? I imagine part of the reaction time is that he is not even able to apply enough pressure onto the blocks to register a reaction with the prosthetics (at least, not register a reaction as fast as able bodied athletes).
I didn't realize that and it's certainly part of the equation but also look at how fast he closes in all of his races….it's amazing. Either he is AMAZING race distribution or the legs somehow reduce the affect of fatigue. He may be slow to get going but once he gets going he keeps going.
