But the Soleus is primarily utilised in plantar flexion which is an integral part of running and juping...
that does not mean he does not have strong calves.
All muscles play an integral role.
what i say is that the size of the muscle and to a lesser degree the strength of the calve is of little significance compared to the power that is generated by the glutes, quads and the shoulder for that matter.
all things being equal, a person with smaller/shorter calves WILL be faster.
Once again, we throw the baby out with the bath water.

Yes.
I see where you're coming from, but think increased muscle mass in the calves may be an advantage not a hindrance... cet par. This is a quandary.
yes, thee is no doubt that top speed is influenced most by glutes and hammies.
