- Due to constant demand I'm reuploading my most popular videos for people to watch. Most of these were made between 2016-2018. I have most of my other videos saved. I can take requests to upload one, but no guarantees as most of it's stuff I'd rather not have on the internet, lol.
My best friend was in the 1976 race the late great Harvey Glance I miss him ! 52 years of friendship !
Just missed a medal in 4th. How did he feel about the race?
Would have beaten Allan Wells embarrassing winning time of 10.2 in 1980 to win a medal. Possibly gold!
@@AidenSwords-md1do thank you, I really appreciate that !

Well...his world rank was well below 1st. But he sounds like a prince of a man.
3:37
Astounding that, for many years, people didn't think it would be a good idea to position the camera in line with the finish.
That cost extra lol.. there will copies out there somewhere
If you did that you'd only see a tiny fraction of the race, because they probably couldn't move the camera quickly.
It wasn't practical then. Closeup lenses weren't in use, the camera was usually fixed on a tripod, and up to 1948, the reels were only shown in movie theaters.
To have footage at finish line requires an extra camera for just that shot. If you only have one camera you can't shoot there or you miss 80% of the race.
Or even focus on the camera on the leaders.
The old guys were running on loose dirt. Their times are actually pretty impressive.
I saw a video that a biomechanics expert reckoned Owen’s run would have seen him clearly finish second to Bolt if you account for a cinder track vs synthetic track & the advantage you get from starting blocks.
Whether that really true it’s certainly the case old times would be much quicker on modern tracks, blocks & modern shoes.
@@daffyduck4674 Really interesting, thanks for sharing
Even on a Cinder block track Bob Hayes anchor leg of the 4x100 is believed to be around 8.6 which was faster than Bolt. Hayes said he only ran as fast as he needed to. When the NFL Zone Defense is created to defend you that means you are fast.
@@JA_WILL 8.6 feels implausible but I have no doubt under 10 would have gone much earlier had those athletes has access to similar conditions as modern runners.
Blocks I think are about 2/10ths & if the track difference was only 1/10th that 10flat at least in 1936. I suspect a 1936 track vs 2010s track is probably more the a 1/10th.
Other things like training & diet are bigger ‘what ifs’ but there’s enough that’s properly measurable to suggest advancements in the last 80years are marginal & when someone like Michael Johnson argues Owens is the greatest ever he’s not being flippant.
@@daffyduck4674nobody cares about hypotheticals he coulda woulda shoulda but he wasn’t around too so all that hypothetical stuff is BS because it can’t be proven whatsoever.
Now I expect the video with all the Olympic marathons...
1924 would be chaotic with how that went…
That’s too funny.😂
😂😂😂
1904 would be a acid trip
2016: Am I a joke to you?
Women: are we a joke to you?
@@matuh111 in sports or in general?
@@matuh111Watching women’s sports is as exciting as watching water evaporate from a pond.
@@barube001 water evaporation is fascinating
It looked like Bolt gave up an even faster world record in 2008. He shut down so early in that race and still a 9.69
My thoughts too
Yeah, but that he did that is what makes the race so iconic! 🫶
He probably could've done low-/mid-9.5
@@tenningale that would be almost 2 meters faster. Not possible in that race. Low 9.6 yes.
@@peterhammer4644 He decelerated way too early in that race
1952 Olympics were in Finland, I recognized the announcer speaking Finnish. My grandparents were from there.
Greetings from Finland!!🤗 Hope someday We can take Olympic gold to Finland... now zero medal from Paris 😒
I was wondering what language that was. Thanks.
Is it just me or is 10.8 seconds in 1920 pretty effing impressive??
Well they measured the times with a stopclock... a tenth on the start a tenth at the finish... who knows the exact times?
Nobody, but they for sure were way faster than me in my peak running low 13's. :D
No starting blocks , running on dirt tracks ,...very impressive!
More impressive than Allan Wells winning time in 1980! Such an embarrassing time!!
It's weird to think that the winner as recently as 1992 would have finished last in 2024. Even among the 2008 final times, Bolt would still have won in 2024 but Richard Thompson (silver) would have been second to last and all the others last. This year there were four athletes who ran under 10 seconds in the semis and didn't even qualify for the final.
This year's 100m was something.
The '24 final was the 1st race where all the participants finished unda 10 sec. Eva. (!!!!!!!)
They are so fast in the old footage that the speed of their legs running looks like a WB cartoon footage.
According to this video, all 100m finals throughout history have been filmed with a potato.
The problem wasn't the camera, it was the storage of the film. I'm sure originally the film would have been sharp, but that's the issue with analogue.
@@respectedgentleman4322 It was sarcasm... especially with the recent Olympics. 1996 through 2012 all had high definition versions. It seemed odd to choose dreadful copies of the races.
LOL, but it is odd because there are 1960s Olympics videos online that are crisp, but maybe the creator here couldn't use them for copyrights issues, I don't know. I also think they did a bad job with the compression when they made the whole video, the output settings must have been out of whack
Well - can’t say that Olympic history is easy to find online. Sadly the IOC keeps close watch on use of copyrighted material.
And viewers are expected to guess the identity and country of the winner
Really strange how they only caught the non-US Sprinter Ben Johnson while Carl Lewis was obviously doping as well. Imagine if Ben Johnson wasn´t a Canadian/Jamaican sprinter...
This is the compilation we need, to put older Olympics in perspective. Now if only we had the 1904 St. Louis Olympic marathon, the strangest race of all time…
Secret Base does such a good job with covering that.
@@stevencooke6451 Good looks, thank you! Very in depth video. Appreciate it.
Amazing that the 1904 Olympics took so many months!! And how the 4th place runner from Cuba literally got sick and fell asleep, and still woke up and finished so close to a medal.
Great compilation, thanks
Abscent 1916,1940 and 1944
@@szymon6207 you serious?
@@szymon6207 That's because there were no games. World wars and all.
Yes,World Wars I and II intervened so no Olympics could be held on those occasions. Unless they give out gold,silver and bronze medals for trench warfare and tank battles.
1928, after the race it said ‘de winnaar is…’ which of course means ‘the winner is’ in Dutch. The event was held in Antwerp and Belgium claimed the most medals with 35. Their second best ever result was 12 medals. So there was something fishy about Belgium organizing and winning almost every event they entered.
With primitive footwear on loose dirt and all natty, those times are impressive.
Bullet Bob Hayes would probably have beaten Bolt.
His split tome in the 4X100 in Tokyo was from another planet.
The best sprinter for me was the American Bobby Morrow at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. His running was relaxed and smooth. He didn’t strain. He just flowed over the cinder track. Remarkable sprinter. Yet the media doesn’t talk about him or they’ve forgotten about him.
The invention of the zoom feature on a motion camera was a great thing for recording sporting events.
1936 Jessi Owens. ❤
1984 Carl Lewis. ❤
2008 - 2016 Bolt era. ❤
1988 Ben Johnson was disqualified later failing doping test.
1988 - as did 6 of the others in the race including Carl Lewis. The only clean athlete in the race was Calvin Smith
The second lane inside is a bad omen.
It’s not the slowest runners get these lanes
@@boxinglegend3060 why?
Traditionally the fastest qualifier is in 4, then 5, then 3, 7, ect. Slowest 1 and 8. That’s how it used to be.
4 5 3 6 2 7 1 8
That is hilarious had to watch em all back so many lasts and pull ups haha well spotted !
How is it the picture quality does not improve from 1924 through 1984?
All on video. Video degrades over time. Digital recording came around shortly after b
Because they didn’t bother their ass getting better quality footage.
@@johnmc3862 dumb comment
It's film, not video.
@@agnostic47 Video is pretty ubiquitously used to describe all manner of moving pictures, regardless of the recording media. But if you want to drill down to film vs video formats, your statement isn't very accurate. Some of it is film originally, some video. ALL of it is currently presented in video format, since that's what UA-cam is.
Times change but bending head forwards remains same.
Unless you're first time Usain Bolt who stopped running at the 80m mark to acknowledge the crowd and the fact that he was 10m clear.
@@stevencooke6451 Bolt is just built differently.
Back in the early days, the inside lane was the coveted spot, and runners were positioned 1 to 8, based on qualifying time and/or preference. It wasn't until after WW2, and improved surfacing, that it was determined that the middle lanes were the best places to be.
On a dirt and cinders track, lane 1 always got chewed up worse than the other lanes because of the distance events. Some sprinters weren't so crazy about having lane 1. As you mention, that became a moot point once they started using synthetic tracks
3:02 Am I going crazy or is David Coleman commentating the 1968 one?
Remember listening to his wonderful voice in the late 90s at Primary School.
lol coleman was a veteran commentator by 1968
Yes,there's a UA-cam video of him introducing footage of the notorious "Battle of Santiago" foul-riven match between hosts Chile and Italy at the 1962 football World Cup,and he was already a well-established presenter and commentator by then.
The great David Coleman commentating on at least 3 of his finals. The GOAT.
And he gave us Colemansballs. What a dude.
Where’s 2016 as the title suggests?
1948 Olympic footage has higher definition and better color than in 2000 is crazy as hell. 52 years of technology and still looked worse. The reason for this of course is the 1948 Olympic Games footage was recorded in movie film stock instead of video cameras.
Jesse Owens was smoooooth AF in '36!
Ruined Adolf's afternoon,that's for sure.
The Germans loved him! Well, except for Adolf.
not really. i read he took speed(no pun) and cheated, but the american IOC swept that under the rug.
@@RedPillRebel-zq3wo”Red Pill Rebel” is a closeted racist, no surprise there lol
@@rjjcms1Actually, Adolf treated him with more respect than the US president did.
When he first went to the meet he shook all the athlete's hands. Later on, his security and advisors told him he couldn't do that so he stopped, but he was civil to everyone.
Do note that Adolf wanted to make the best impression of Germany and himself in the Games. He had ulterior motives and was one of the worst people in history. But I also wanted to note he did treat him with more respect than the US did at the time due to laws.
How about the number of hamstring pull ups
Thank you for this.
2008 Bolt 9.68. If he ran through the tape, would have been under his eventual time of 9.58 - no doubt.
its been analyzed and if he ran hard he wouldve got around 9.62
I doubt that!
Heck no
His 200m time at bejing further disproves this
The footage went from Black & White to just Black & Black.
Technology just isn't what you'd expect.
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 you made a very brave observation
Actually it was first White & White.
in 1968 = 9.89 / without proper training / without proper diet / with a normal job and training on weekends / without clothes and shoes from 2016 / 56 years later this is a historic feat / Usain Bollt could say many things about the world record
BUT at altitude
I still can’t believe he broke the world while he eased up showboating before the tape
Typical, it took them 112 years to finally release the replays for the 1912 Olympic Games..
😆
The olympic games of mexico city were at altitude. That's where bob beaman Broke the long jump record by almost two feet.
That's my relative coming third behind Jesse Owens in 1936
wow.. the 1952 race.. what a fab contest right to the very end.. one of the best races of all time, IMHO...
Fun fact: Ben Johnson, the former 100m winner in 1988, was disqualified due to testing positive to the drug "Stanazolol" which boosts muscles. Carl Lewis is known as the real winner of the 100m.
Edit: This video was actually 1908 - 2012.
he forgot to take the diuretics to mask the doping products the unfortunate
When they retested samples from Carl Lewis and Linford Christie a year later they found Stanazolol in their blood too. Johnson just got his dates wrong.
fun fact: literally of them were doped up and still are. There hasn't been a "clean" winner in the olympics ever, in any sport, and I'd bet lots of money on that.
@@Silligkthe Germans synthesized testosterone in the late 1930s. All professional and most amateur athletic competitions since ww2 worldwide have been performed by enhanced athletes. I'm honestly shocked the average person doesn't understand that.
@@monarch1651 I"m shocked how positive some people are that all amateur and professional athletes are "enhanced" without any evidence to support it. You just believe?
Fun fact: only three 100m champions have come from non-English-speaking countries. Armin Hary of West Germany in 1960, Valeri Borzov of the Soviet Union in 1972, and Marcell Jacobs of Italy in 2020.
Fastest language in the world
Don't forget Allan Wells of Scotland
@@jj9749 😄
BUT Marcell Jacobs is essentially American and his Italian is limited
The 1988 final was the first thing I remember in my life I can date, after the birth of my brother about a month before!
Jesse Owen. Old fashioned bolt.
Bolt is new fashion Jesse owens
Even though he was juiced out of his mind, there's something just wild about Ben Johnson's win in 1988. The way explodes out the blocks with both feet in the air and his raised hand before he even crosses the line... Also, you can see how the US boycott of the 1980 Moscow games affected the composition of the competitors!
Es fascinante ver cómo cambian las costumbres y la vida en general con el paso del tiempo.
How many of these winners are actually legitimate? The Scot who won in 1980, for instance, has had basically everyone he ever worked with come out and tell stories of his doping, including, in a secret recording, the British sprint team doctor. Similarly Gatlin twice tested positive, Lewis tested positive for something, but was let off, but it would be incredible if he was really clean given that we know that would make him basically the only man of his era (and in that case, how did he beat them?). Even Maurice green has been accused. The only ones I'd be confident in would be those pre-1970 and Usain Bolt (who just so clearly has a massive physical advantage in his stride length).
I feel Bolt could have downed a Happy Meal at the finish line and won carrying the tray.
You didn’t even mention the Russians and E Germans who were famous for it. Just take a look at their women athletes from the 70’s.
Allan Wells won in 1980.
Lewis' 'failed' drug test was when he was found with 6ppm of stimulants in a sample, a level which only warranted 'further investigation' not a ban - and that small level doesn't even count as a positive test under today's rules.
is there any way to get the best quality footage for the sprint? I mean, I was not surprised by low quality in early 1900... but then I see Bolt in 2008.. I believe I've got it at least in full HD somewhere...
Jim Winters was a kid I went to junior high school with he wince ran a 10.8 yard dash with less flyers and a rabbis foot out inside his pocket and Tuff Skins jeans on and when you adjust it it’s like 10.3 100 meters
Notice how there are only 7 runners in 1996. That's because Linford Christie, the defending champion, jumped the gun twice, and was disqualified.
Sad to think that everyone in the 1912 video is dead now
Well i mean there could be atleast 1 person still alive
@@Fantaiscool They'd be a minimum of 130 years old. I wonder how many from 1960 are even alive.
@@stevencooke6451 let's assume they brought a less-than-a-year-old baby to be a spectator of the show, 1912 is still theoretically possible though ultimately low probability
sounds a lot more possible for 1930 and onwards
Antigamente eram 2 corridas, pois só tinham uma câmera. Primeiro filmavam a largada, e depois uma nova pra filmar a chegada.
Interesting that most of them were convincing victories eg Owens, Hayes, Hines, Borzov, Lewis, Greene, Bolt. Relatively few tight finishes like this year's.
Those old films make these guys look like they're running faster than they are.
Usain Bolt - the only person in history so far that an entire stadium will roar for😮
100 años han pasado y solo se ha podido mejorar literalmente unas décimas de segundo, parece que se ha llegado al potencial humano para esta disciplina.
É mais ainda não alcançaram o bolt...
No, it's in 1000ths
it'd be great if you could name the winners!
Cool video!
Please list the winner for each race that you show. In fact, you should put all three medalists' names on the screen after each race.
Sounds like a good project for you
1988, 2000, 2004, 2012 the second inside lane pulls up!
LOL at the 1956 commentary: "Bobby Morrow is third from the left. [long silence] ...Bobby Morrow first." Not exactly the exciting and fast ten second commentary you hear at the 100 metre Olympic Game finals nowadays.
The Olympic games of poor footage.
poor footage - yes, sports photography was very unsophisticated back then. Half the time they took shots of the starter firing his gun or someone in the crowd smoking a pipe. And those cellulose nitrate films reels degraded badly
@@stevecrocker6904 What's the excuse for the footage in the 70s and 80s that looks no better than from the 20s?
*footage
They didn’t exactly have 4K HD 100 years ago or even 40 years ago
@@fezzik7619 they did actually many films were shot in great quality even in the 70s but broadcasts and peoples televisions couldnt reproduce it so any recordings of them will be low quality , I dont know if the Olympics used the high quality cameras but a lot of films did, maybe the master footage is high definition, it couldve been but the cameras were stupid expensive
Poor????????
Look at the the year!
"It's Ben Johnson! Unbelievable".
Yep.
So happy for B. Cheret of Kenya 🇰🇪
Bolt! Say no more
Jesse Owens with modern shoes on a modern track would have been incredible to watch though.
Yep, and would be using a starting block as well.
@@richatlarge462 Great point!
Amazing that Linford Christie made three finals. Unfortunately, he was disqualified for a false start in the last one. A lot of controversy over whether he did actually start before the gun sounded. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode.
And that was in the era when you only got a warning for your first false start - Christie false started twice to earn his disqualification.
Bolt was mortal…for 30 meters 😊
(amazing video)
Great video apart from the terrible quality. I understand those pre-Helsinki videos to be of bad quality but even the 2000:s.....
The period from 84 to 2004 was drug heaven, I don’t recognise their achievements
From 2004 to now they just learned how to hide it, mask it, or come off it at the right time to avoid detection.
@@thepixalking6589 They caught a lot more people so people like Bolt are either lucky, clean or very sneaky. I say clean cos performances from known cheaters became slower
You dont even matter

2008 Bolt breaks wr whilst showboating.
I think the footage of 1932 was the Zapruder film
??
the curse of lane 2... how comes the person who gets injured is always generally lane 2?
Interesting quenstion is: Which one of those wasn't doped!
Well we all know of one in this who certainly was! Plus another subsequently who got caught doping but not necessarily in the 100m and was allowed to come back,which unsurprisingly drew a divided response from the crowd.
It's pretty safe to say anyone before the late 50's wasn't doping and probably beyond. Their was no effective and known way to dope for a long time (though some may have been on stimulants), and at first it only made it's way into strenght based sports as people didn't realise it helped with overall athletic performance outside of adding muscle.
Jesse Owens: "Hey Adolf, hold my beer while I take care of some business"
Ben Johnson. The only winner to be caught.
Bolt is the goat
1988: Winner runs 9:79
1992: "WR 9:86"
Why?
disqualified due to doping

Hasely Crawford pulled his hamstring. It turned out ok, he was the gold medal winner in the very next video.

Still wild that Alan Wells and Linford Christie both won Olympic gold for Britain.

Both drugged up though.
It's so easy to spout that on the web but where's your proof of that allegation?
@@rjjcms1 Let me see - Christie failed drug tests for Nandrolone.
Well's training partners and his doctor stated he was on drugs. There was a BBC documentary on this.
@@ngc-fo5te OK,I know Chrsitie was flagged up for a test failure for something,for which he protested his innocence. I never heard of any allegations against Wells before but I may have missed the memo on that.
Ben Johnson was the greatest 100M sprinter since Owens and held that mantle until Bolt came along. Johnson’s 9.79 run stood for many years as the real world record. Team USA hated to lose, so they tainted his bottle.
Any proof?
Ben Johnson is nothing more than a pill popper. His supposed record was not the world record, after it was found he cheated. Sorry to burst your bubble.
'Tainted his bottle'... Er, Johnson and his coach Charlie Francis both admitted that he had been taking steroids for seven years.
@@paulwilliams8389 right. So was everyone else, and everyone was passing doping tests for 7 years. You believe Johnson would suddenly fail a doping test after all that time - at the Olympic Games, no less? They had a well-honed schedule to pass the tests; the only way he’s going to test positive is by somebody outing him.
Ever heard of Bob Hayes? Most experts believe he was the greatest 100m man till Bolt came along. Watch the 1964 final.
Interesting choice not to show the name of the winner and the winning time. I gave up after 1948.
It’s a damn shame Linford Christie didn’t get to run in 96 due to 2 false starts. Also Legendary Carl Lewis 84 & 88
how did the world record go backwards between 1988 and 1992
Ben Johnson was stripped of his medals and WR for doping
Where was ‘16?
WWI
Slow motion was obviously the new cool thing in 1948
Usain Bolt was GOAT
00:30. Wait, did he just say that he ran 10.8 in 1920? That's faster than the women's silver medalist at Paris 2024 😂
Good for you buddy
0:58 ここに唯一の日本人で決勝まで行った選手が居るのかな…
A lot of guys pulling up in Lane 2 😮
Surprised there Germans didn't ask for a photo finish in '36.
1988: WR 9:83, finishing time 9:79.
1992: WR 9:86.
What happened?
Winstrol and WADA happened
Ben Johnsson got caught for using steroids in 1988.
How the sport transformed from white to black. 1980 was the last time any non-black person was in the final. Long live humanity!
