I wanted to ask you, what would you think it is?

Here, there are a few things inside, hiding, which I would love to unpack further.

First is the speed and power, when it's mentioned in those fields, must be differentiated from the physiological speed and power.

I remember the first time

I read the book of Leonid Arkaev, Professor Arkaev, the legendary Soviet gymnastics trainer.

And in his book, he mentions the vertical jumps of the Olympic Soviet male team.

I think the best was something that I did at the age of 13.

But people are still under the impression that gymnasts have good jumps.

They're rebounders.

They use the floor springs

Very well.

Skateboard, similar.

Power wise, strength wise, nothing.

There is nothing there.

It's the willingness to go into that speed

and to exit from the ramp.

And the willingness comes from a confidence which comes from a certain capacity to orient in space.

And the other part to explore in this comes from the father of biomechanics, Bernstein.

You know, the Soviet government, there is this legendary urban legend.

Maybe it's true, maybe not, but I believe it might be true.
