    Interesting to me how the horse has a more technical sprinting technique.

    It leans away from the direction it wants to spin in at first, loading a bunch of weight onto its front legs to shove off powerfully from. The people start leaning in the direction they want to go, away from their plant leg, which probably feels faster, but means their back legs can’t get the same push off the first step, basically wasting it.

      It looked more to me like the horse wasn’t sure which way it wanted to go at first and hopped left before deciding to go right

        Playing or not, it’s a superior way to accelerate from a stop.

        Exactly. And everyone knows the real fastest is to hover in the air for a moment as you pump your legs.
