Wowwwww

Oh shiiit thats a good one

Motivation is probably the answer for both

Very true

The best possible answer

But he was not at the top anymore, his body was done.

Disagree. Letting the young bulls come in, beat you and continuing the cycle of top dawg is in my opinion more beautiful and natural. Nobody beats time. Someone will eventually beat Bolts record, it’s happens in every sport.

Forever seen as great! We are left imagining what more could he have accomplished.

@@user-ey4ut9uc8wfuck allat, better to see a legend retire when he’s proven he’s great than watch him wither away slowly and become a laughing stock

Nah passing the torch is better. Being the top dog is the best but eventually your time will come handing it over is a really cool way to retire

Right ✅️

All records will be broken

It is inevitable

Not all evidently all world records won't be able to be broken, there has to be a stopping point. For example nobody is going to run the 100M in 5 seconds are they!

This is such a great comment. I wonder why it didn’t attract so many likes.

His 9.58 s is unbeatable.

@@fabiancarreno7427never know tbh always another

@@fabiancarreno7427as technology and science advances someone will beat 9.58 just probably not in our lifetime

​@@fabiancarreno7427 Its not bro, before him there was asafa and gatlin and that wasnt like 50 years ago, it was 2 or 3 years before usain won his first olympics, so the person who might beat the 9.58 might be arround the corner, its a matter of time, obviously this person wont beat usain´s record by running the 100m in 8.72 seconds, but who knows, human beings evolve ;)

​@@fabiancarreno7427Possibly IF it's more than just a human accomplishment (that is PEDs). In reality, if Bolt's runs were truly "clean," I would expect them to be exceeded in the next 20 years. It's the same reason women's 100m thru 800m records (all set in the 1980's) are still there after 34+ years.

It won't be long

​@@dubsteplovingginger Yes it will. Since Bolt era the fastest 100m time has been 9.80. if you ran 9.80 when Bolt ran a 9.58 you would have been 5th or 6th.

@fitfusion180 trust me it won't be long

​@@dubsteplovinggingerit will eventually be beat, sure. But how long will it take? The McLaren F1 held the top speed record until the Bugatti Veyron. How many years did that take?

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎E

3 times actually

He retired because none of Jamaica could get away with it anymore 💉

He broke the 100m World record three times..

​@@RasT108That last race when they really started to clamp down on the drug use EVERYONE slowed down. People who still think that ALL of them don't juice are just living in fairytale land.

It seems like someone will break his 200m record relatively soon, a couple guys have gotten pretty close. His 100m record on the other hand, is one of the biggest leaps forward we have ever seen. It could be another 40-50 years before it's broken. That's how far ahead he set the bar.

​@@michaelshields6326I know neither of us truly know, but I doubt either will be broken soon. And full disclosure, I wanna acknowledge that I was wrong once already. I thought Michael Johnson's 19.32 would last at least 50 years. I thought 19.32 would be safer than a FloJo 10.49 19.19 is insane.

19.19 is inconceivable to break. Only Yohan blake has come close, 19.31 isnt close ​@michaelshields6326

facts@@WaveRider1989

Blake actually covered the distance quicker than Bolt's 200m record, but had slower reaction time. Blake was amazing - just unlucky to be running at the same time as bolt lol.

No...THE best thing is..."I have peace of mind".

And then what? Seems at little short sighted...

Take the first half of your sentence, leave off the last part. Not everyone is gonna achieve or smash their goals, but if you truly did your best and can live with knowing that fact, even if you failed, then you'll have peace, I think

@@mainr7142 I'll take ALL of your statement....apart from the ..."I think". THE greatest thing any human can have is....peace of mind. If one tried,but "failed",if they walk away with no regrets....then they are a winner. Hope you see my point?❤

@@Zz-lm1no You have missed the point. I know of many who have expensive cars,big houses,great salary etc but the moment 8 out of 10 of them spend 5 minutes talking,you can see the stress/fear.

Its not a question of maybe it's a question of when

@@mustang8206 Sooner than we think. If we look at the history of the 100m records it was beaten quite regulary, every 3-5 years a new guy show up. So I will see the recod getting beaten a few times before I die. Will I ever see again an athlete having such a dominant career I'm much less certain.

“It’s not what you did but how you did it” - some random wise guy

​@@MrOmerDalor it has been 15 years and nobody has come close. To be honest, 100m athletes are slower now than 15 years ago.

​@@MrOmerDalorNah it's gonna take a while for someone to beat that record, it's already stood for 15 years and sprinters have gotten far slower than they were then. Mostly due to Bolt quite literally bringing up the competition and making the other athletes run faster to compete with him, also there's just less talent now than then. But yeah probably in our life times it'll fall as everything advances

Most of them were caught doping 🤣

Barely 8 gold medals compared to Michael Phelps 23. Delusional.

Nah white athletes now run under 10. It was believed to be impossible 10 years ago. As soon as a black kid gets to be 6'3" and has Bo Jacksons quick start, we'll see that record beat. Now sub 9:40 is another story, that might take 50 years. Mathematically speaking it was unthinkable in the 20th century that anyone on any kind of enhancement could go bellow 9:70, mere 8 years into the 21st century he did it more than twice.

Dang I was too late

People says he was doping. No, he was the right built for sprinting

What you don't understand is humans are reaching the pinnacle of athleticism, which is why records are only getting minutely broken instead of big record jumps like before

@@williamfarr9129 yeah, they have been saying that since the beginning, humans cannot physically run faster, and yet it keep happening. It's called evolution. Where there's a will, there's a way

@@cesardiaz3002 look at the rate at which the record gets broken, it has majorly slowed down and this is because we are hitting a physical limit of muscle and fast twitch complexities

@@williamfarr9129 I agree to a point.

​@williamfarr9129 you don't understand that humans never stop evolving. His record 100% gonna be broken some day.

Thank you. Most just look at the spotlights and not the background. Man was a freak of nature. His running form was nonexistent, and his height was unheard of. Once he was upright and running, if you weren't already ahead of him, there was no catching him. He was just that good. Still pissed at 2008, him slowing down at 20m still irks my soul.

There probably is in Jamaica or Africa somewhere doing regular job. Yohan Blake was play cricket before.

Well it's almost certain. No matter how you try to phrase it with pseudo science, you are statistically: exaggerating/wrong.

@@noahkettunen1686 No

Nothing is impossible.

USA got plenty of the same type athletes but they play football or basketball, Jamaica put allot of effort in track, it's just the 10 popular sport here, surprised noa Lyle ain't playing basketball with his height it's rare American that height run track

Bollocks

There will always be better people, as long as we evolve.

@009Daft600 well yes, but being able to run 100m in under 9.6s or a marathon in under 2hrs aren't exactly selection pressures - obviously we become more efficient and we'll develop better gear and training regimes in the future, but these are narrow advantages that won't single handedly take 0.2s off your 100m or 2 minutes off your marathon - in our own lifetimes, we won't see another like Bolt or Kiptum, that's what I'm saying

​@@joelmacinnes2391you dont need selective pressure. every single record in history was done with practically the same genetic makeup. the difference IS in culture, information and technology

That was a stand alone race blake ran while bolt did it in a world championship having ran heats in 100 and 200 and all that

9.53 and 18.99 were in his legs on the right day with the right conditions…Shame we never got to see that sub 19 200.

Not necessarily

People have beaten him, but no one’s ever broken his world record

Bolt was never undefeated

​@@allencastro9344he was afraid of Gatlin that is why he quits and retired

Funny that the comments are all utterly oblivious to Jamaica's track record with doping tests at that time. Every other runner in the top 8 fastest times ever has been caught doping. If you think Bolt is just that much faster naturally, you're naïve in the extreme.

I suppose, generally speaking (as you say) it tends to be a little past their peak. But it's not especially rare for people that age to still be in their prime, even in the sprints, and - when they are past it - injury / wear and tear / loss of motivation seems to be the primary cause > physiological ageing alone (even moreso in sports like the NFL - RBs fall off a cliff at 27/28). There are at least 6 or 7 elite sprinters / multi eventer athletes (decathlon / pentathlon) who've won medals at major championships (including gold) between 30-35. Damien Warner (Olympic champ at 32 with lifetimes PBs, world champs bronze at 34 despite carrying injuries), Kevin Mayer (world champ at 30), KJT (won the pentathlon worlds at 30 off 2 years of bad injuries), SAFP (PBs and world champ at 35), ETH (well, just shy of 30 at last Olympics), Sherika Jackson (she'll likely medal this summer at 30, if not win) etc. I think Bolt retired partly because of motivation (as he says), but also because the hamstring injury he incurred in 2013/14 wasn't holding up (in fact, it went in his last race).

In his documentary,"I am Bolt" he said the reason he didnt do 400m was because training was too hard...So his focus was on the 200m and 100m. He ran the 300m and won it with 2nd fastest time...Then Wayde van Niekerk broke the 300m record pusing Bolts tine to 3rd fastest overall

​@@MrBreakfluid In addition He would have to give up running 100m & more importantly lose the better part of 2 stone/14kg.... He was running at a weight of 15st & height 6ft 5 - that's 15st an insane weight to carry for a 400m race aiming to do world class times

Exactly, many sportsmen and women retire way too late and can leave a damp patch on their legacy. The greats know when to call it a day

@@ollielynch4733not really, if you have extreme passion for the sport you’ll continue, look at Ronaldo and Messi, they coulda retired but they still continue
