The study analyzes the technique kinematics of elite sprinters in the 2018 (XVII) IAAF World Indoor Championship in Birmingham, the UK. Subject to the analysis were the sprint technique elements including the stride length and frequency rated in the 60m men’s sprint finals. The analysis of the individual sprint techniques demonstrated by 8 strongest competitors in two rounds of the event found the leading kinematic rates critical for the speed on distance. The study analyses the specific sprint speed, stride length and frequency data versus the competitive accomplishments of the best sprinters in the winter competitive season. The study data and analyses demonstrate the roles of the winter and summer World Championships for the world sprint elite.

Keywords: World Championship, 60 m run, sprint time and speed, number, stride length and frequency, competitive accomplishments, semifinals, finals.
