21.6 sprint? you mean 10.8 sprint right?
Many of the olympic long jumpers are also sprinters because many of the traits like the explosive speed are very similar in training/body requirement, the fastest sprinters run at that speed, but as said, people likely do extra effort in such situations.
Note that the average adventurer type character could easily get move 9.. as speed 6 is not that uncommon at even fairly low build points as DX and HT are both attributes a lot of adventurers want t raise... and adding B17 "For normal humans, training or a sleek build can justify up to 3 yards/second of increased Basic Move" at only +15 points..
So your average low/medium point adventurer with 15 points extra spent move would be world class jumper..
And if you were silly you could build a character that wins world records at a total point cost that is negative.. (Average stats, +1 speed +3 move=9.. for a total of 35 points that could be offset by disadvantages like "OPH gloats to everyone how fast he is at running and how far he jumps and such silly things to compensate the 35 points.. )
