There are plenty of people that have commented about Sebastian Sawe's foot/ankle movement as he broke the world record.
However, the movement seen in a front view is NOT unique to him,.
You see it across other WORLD CLASS runners.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no strong evidence to support that this movement leads to a higher risk of injury.
"Fixing" this movement will not necessarily mean he will run faster nor be less prone to injury.
Lastly, it is important to understand is that what you see is not simply coming for the ankle/foot movement alone, but rather the interaction of the shoe with the foot.
