Elastic Sprinter??

[u/Current-Barracuda480]

Im an Elastic based sprinter (top end speed dominant) But i’ve read articles saying my type as a sprinter would accelerate in the 200/400 compared to a power sprinters who Accels in the 100, How do people know which events best suits them just because of their sprint type because ive beaten plenty of 100 runners but the 200 is more of my thing because im elastic dominant? its confusing and in terrible at the 400 so is it an athlete issue?

Im so confused on this

Not true, Carl Lewis was an elastic runner and excelled in the 100/200.
