As above really. Your finest sporting pictures on the theme of "power". Interpret as you will!

Such as, the madly thighed Robert Förstemann

When he hit a ball, it stayed hit.

How anyone managed to cope with the ferocious power delivery of a 500cc 2 stroke V4 was beyond me. But the way Doohan used to almost casually drift the back wheel...

32 mph.

The average speed over 50mins that Bradley wiggins achieved in the Olympic time trial.
Try hitting 32mph for 1 min next time you ride a road bike.

I know American Football isn't that popular in England, but for those who don't know Maurice Jones Drew was considered too short to be a decent player(only 5'7" -the same height as me!) . He is now one of the best running backs in the league - proving you don't have to be big to have a shed load of power if you hit the gym enough:

Here's a picture of him next to a more conventionally sized player:

Tony Martin, who's not bad at chucking out a huge wattage for an extended period of time.

Would have to be a top fuel dragster. 8000hp 10 gallons to do 1000 yards, so much power some offset grind the crank to cope with the twisting of the block.
