Ugh.

I guess, technically, he's right. It may even be a true max power for a top junior woman...

I heard something like that earlier in the week, and they were putting the road sprinters at 1300-1500, which I suspect is more than a little on the low side.

Track sprinters do ~2300 (as reported elsewhere by Jamie Staff) but only *very* briefly, typically on standing starts in the kilo.

No, we have a junior girl who can do better than 1,000 watts.
