Speed is an illusion. Watching fast runners on TV is subjective perception based on other runners nearby.
Collins for example had been zig-zagging all over the field and was running cautiously behind his blockers. After being blocked, TO made a direct line (angle) for Collins which made him appear to be faster than everyone else.
When you watch runners like Bolt on TV in the olympics, you see the other runners staying near him which gives the illusion that he's not that fast, just fast enough. However, if you see the runners in person your mouth will drop after seeing just how fast they are.
I like TO's attitude and hussle but I think from a PR perspective, he's setting himself up to be laughed at and mocked by fans and the media for a long time.
