Top 5 100m of all time in one race 🏁 which race is better.

One of the greatest. The greatest was Berlin 2009 Worlds final

By far the best.

@@fabiennefertiti3017nah…that one had Bolt’s world record but not the impact this one had. The Semis leading up to the final was main event worthy.

2009 world final was also unbelievable

Yeah true the world championship final in Budapest winning time was 9.83 and Gatlin faster than that in Semi final at 2012 Olympics

@@marfu1119 For both 2021 Olympics & 2023 World Championships the winning times (9.80 & 9.83) wouldn't even medal in London 2012. Tyson Gay ran 9.80 to get 4th place, you needed a 9.79 for Bronze, crazy.

The Bolt Effect

Yea but in 2021 the wind was +0.1m/s and Jacobs ran a 9.80. And in 2023 the wind was 0.0m/s and Lyles ran a 9.83. The wind in London was +1.5m/s which makes a huge difference. Yea that race was probably one of the greatest 100m final but when adjusted for wind, both Jacobs and Lyles both ran time around what Blake did in London to win sliver. Still not good enough to compete with Bolt though.@@richardgallimore5976

...WAS exciting..!

It just stinks Powell had to pull up

I remember gatlin said that a bunch of sprinters quit when they saw what bolt did in 2008 Olympics and more quit again in 2009 championships. But I feel like the once with that hungry mentally stayed and wanted to beat bolt, it made them faster. Sprinting needs someone like usain to inspire great athletes. It’s just like how Jordan and Muhammad Ali inspired so many hungry athletes

@@GladwinAbelthis is true. I had just started running in Div I sprinting and had met a few people that could have gone pro but decided not to after Bolts crushing victories. We all joked about the rest of the world is training for second place. It was the truth.

...Never say NEVER! 'TIME' s unpredictability is the determining factor.

...A B S O L U T E L Y!

😂

Asafa pussied out

Fr tho and any other era they would have been medal threats

Richard Thompson got a silver medal. Don't forget that.

And these two are rapid

Brits don't take well to people who have violated rules. Whether it be from other countries (like Gatlin) or their own (Linford Christie). Its always been this way and will continue.

Gatlin was loved in some countries and hated in others the thing is he had the title of a 2 times drug chest so people weren’t accepting of him. People said it’s because he was a threat to bolt but nobody hated Tyson gay who also beat bolt once, he was also caught and came back but people still respected him.

He failed two drug tests. . . Nothing more to be said

@@jamaulwhyte and it wasn't something completely and utterly irrelevant like the nothingburger that ultra conservatives fabricated for Sha'Carri

It's the media that's always on his case. After the 4x100 relay final, he went around the track and shook everyone's hand. No aggro from anyone.

I wud be pissed. Lol

Man I’m telling you! These guys are not even running 9.80 consistently. That time would’ve won the last two World Championships and tie the Tokyo Olympic champion or probably win it depending on the milliseconds.

@@petrenavengreen exactly, we’re lucky we were able to witness the bolt era

Im saying thats the best final

He took a big ol bite of humble pie 😁

Justin served his time , I like the kid

​@@diegogeneral1217kid? The man is 42😂.

It's an act. He was the one leading the headlines going into Rio claiming that Usain got special treatment for being allowed to participate in the 2016 Olympics. A double doper allowed back on the tracks after a permanent suspension actually had the nerve to claim someone else got special attention. He can act all nice and decent in interviews but his actions have ALWAYS given away his true character. There's a reason he got booed in Rio.

​@diegogeneral1217 he was a grown ass man both times he got busted. His "time" was a permanent ban from sprinting, but it got reduced to 4 years after he agreed to rat out his coach on the doping. If he did his time he would never have been in that lineup.

9.8 semi is bonkers

...???

@@LIVINGSTONE540 What are you confused about? Tyson ran 9.80 and didn't medal. Tokyo 2020, Gold was 9.80.

@@JuiceSaucee yes tell him

Camera angles are deceptive. Overhead camera show that Bolt lead from like 35m 😂

Wgat do you get from such lies, you're an evil individual, have a great week​@nsxperformance

It's called acceleration

@@nsxperformance bolt has the 2nd fastest 30m split of all time so yeah. he has once-in-a-lifetime speed at most points of a 100m

"And in that moment... I had a thought. I was like ahhhhh". Haha he is funny.

Jamaicans respects Tyson gay alot

No lol

I'd say we respect Tyson Gay the most. I hated Gatlin until he retired 😄

@@Gandrewjm 😂

Allyson Felix is the only that gets respect. Tyson Gay would be next if anything.

Anybody who know about track gives Gatlin props.

He wasn’t underrated bro he was competing against the face of the Olympics and the biggest name in world sports. Usain bolt literally was literally a phenomenon everywhere he goes. Everyone else he competed with was underwhelmed. Gatlin even said that the noise the stadium made for bolt introduction was deafening and distracting for him.

I remember it too. I knew it would be a top tier final when I learned Asafa Powell finished 3rd in his semi final and was not an auto qualifier for the final. I knew we had an epic final coming up then.

if you go back and watch his start, you'll also see that he tripped coming out the blocks, unfortunate for him. In a race that fast, only the great man can possibly recover from that slight trip

Powell is never healthy in a mega final

I don’t think you guys know how big the 100 meter in London was, because of what bolt did in Beijing and his rise to literally a god that made sprinters scared of him. Everyone was tuned in to see if bolt can perhaps break the record or even win 4 years later. The fact that he was number 1 in the world of sprinting but got beat by yohan and disqualified also add to the doubts and anticipation. The London Olympics stadium energy was loud as hell, sprinting is extremely difficult to stay consistently good at most less win, because if your nervous you won’t execute your race in good form and spirit. Powell does well in diamond leagues when no other top sprinters in the race, he seems to falter in big races, if you look at some of his race he suddenly slows down for no reason and gets beaten. He claims he had no psychological issue but something was wrong with his mental Then the semi finals had guys causally dropping 9.8s and slowing down before the line. Gatlin said lebron, Kobe and all the other basket team ran into the stadium to see the race. Which just shows how anticipated it was. Bolt became even more ridiculously popular after that feat.

With you on this one if only.

Asafa got 3rd when bolt ran 9.58 at world champs. That was not a choke. He certainly could not have won that race

@@TaughtByTech I never said Asafa could have won the 100m in 2009. I said he chocked in pretty much any major event, which is a fact. 2007 Osaka, 2008 Beijing, 2012 London, you name it.

@@Yes_I_c4n Indeed but you did not say "pretty much" any major event. You said he choked in any major event pperiod. So I just pointed out that bronze medal in arguably the most historical race to date for clarity. Cheers

Asafa is fast but he is not a competitor thats all. But he has the best technique out of those 5 men

Asafa seemed liked he had a mental problem. He always easing up when persons run up on him in a race. I use to watch him train while at UTECH

Faster than today's winning time 😮

​@@annGreaves Last years WC winner ran 9.83 and the WL was 9.83. I expect this year the fastest will be in the mid to high 9.7 range. This generation is slow.

And the other two for America, that was a crazy and fast race, all jet engines

Only two Jamaicans and three Americans in this race were on the relay teams. Recheck your facts.

Gatlin has been funny if you watch the press conference even when he’s mad he funny as hell, bolt used to be laughing

Lyles and Coleman get last places in that race

@@tilobo5417 🤣🤣🤣🤣 absolute truth

@@tilobo5417 Asafa gets last place, you know why.

No disrespect but remove lyles and Coleman lol. The times they running now bolt ran for fun at diamond leagues

​@@tilobo5417Lyles and Coleman are not fit enough to lace up Bolt's spikes. Their best times still can't match what Bolt was doing in the diamond leagues having fun and toiling with everyone
