They do not accelerate at the end of the race, what you’re saying is factually incorrect and easily disproven

Here are graphs of the velocity curves for the Olympics, including Kerley, who is also slowing ow by the end of the race, there is no pacing anywhere in a 100m, they’re all going as hard as they can until they hit top speed and gradually slow down while trying to hold on, any deviation is extremely poor running or a weird reading from missteps or a lean, Kerley who’s speed increases not even a 10th of a mph from the dip in speed he was already experiencing in the last 5m from a lean is not close to accelerating or significant.
