@@airearheir Yes, and Jacobs' performance is the 5th of all times at the Olimpic game. It means that the final in 2012 was legendary, Blake Gatling and Bolt weren't humans
GREATEST field of sprinters ever assembled. 4 WR holders in one race! Don’t believe we’ll ever be privileged to witness again. Blake ran 9.75 & was 2nd! Let that sink in ⚡️ 🇯🇲 💪🏽
EVER in London England where every city in the world is derived from. A London Olympics is the most electrifying in the world. That's why we alllll felt this one....
In my opinion, this race was Bolt’s most important to solidify him as one of the greatest athletes of all time. This lineup was incredible, he was challenged all year and he still gave his BEST performance at the biggest stage with world class charisma. LEGEND!!
This was the greatest race of ALL time - I was just 18 and still remember watching it live on BBC. The 100m finals this year won't be the same though...
Yeah it really was. Gatlin was his rival, or closest thing to it when it came to these 100m races. Now we know that Bolt finished 3rd in the 2016 Olympics, but that was when he had past his prime and wasn’t how he used to be. So this race was the race that solidified Bolt as the greatest 100m racer of all time! The goat haha
It's the camera angle that makes it seem like he's behind. Look at the different camera angles at 12:33. You can see that even from the beginning he was never trailing. He is actually ahead very shortly into the race. It is somewhat of a myth that bolt has bad starts. His starts are very comparable to the other top sprinters. For his world record time of 9.58 he had an amazing start and was leading the field by 10 meters. Go watch the 2009 100 m finals and go to the part where they show the bird's eye view.

Well yeah true, I'm Chinese and English, so I always will support representatives from Britain and China, even in men's athletics, but almost everyone loves Usain Bolt enough that they want him to win.
Its insane how a guy can just accelerate past 3 of the other fastest men in history like they were running in slow motion. We will never see a guy like bolt never.
Yup his 100m record may never be broken But his 200m may be broken. Blake had come very very close to breaking it. He ran 19.26s v/s 19.19s with one of the worst starts.
The difference between 1st place and last place (not considering time of injured Powell) was 0.35 secs and the difference between 3rd and last place was 0.19 secs. This has got to be greatest 100 meters line up in history
These days everything is advertisement based....tennis, cricket, football movies events politics everything is fake...all are sponsored and players are made to work like paid employees without any emotions or passions.
Once he hits that top speed it’s game over for everyone else. With the 200m being his favourite event, the 100m is relatively easy for him lol because he can hold that max speed for a longer period compared to other sprinters.
We speak about his world record .58, but no one might even come close to his Olympic record .63. Lmao other great runners personal best times don’t even make in Usain’s personal 5

The greatest 100m final of all-time. The individual introductions, the crowd, the narratives, and the fact that this was the fastest group of ever. Legendary.
5:04 It's amazing how one idiot throwing a bottle at the athletes (when he says set) almost ruined the most legendary 100m Olympic race in history! I'm so glad they didn't stop the race and have them restart.
You gotta understand how incredible Bolt is. Imagine he is already behind from the start against the fastest runners that's ever lived and he has less than 10 seconds to overtake them. When you look at it like that you understand how great he is
We think he's slower because we are comparing him to much shorter sprinters who of course will start faster, that's just physics. I think the only way to actually compare his start is with someone like Ryan Bailey and Francis Obikwelu. They're still shorter than Bolt but are the tallest elite athletes we can use to measure objectively.
So rare to see a genuine, genuine superstar, both in terms of charisma and showmanship, and most importantly, in terms of the ridiculously legendary, once-in-a-lifetime athletic ability. For all the shame so many disgraced athletes have brought to this sport, Bolt will forever go down as one of the greatest ambassadors of athletics, and the Games themselves. Privileged to have witnessed his career.
Who dislikes this?? Really... you are watching the best runner alive break record after record coming from a 3rd world country. That is what makes the Olympics so special. Talent is everywhere, Go Bolt and Blake!
The London Olympics were the best ever. So well planned and executed. With class and no slight at all. Can't say the same about Paris. Definitely not as classy or at all in touch. Definitely back in the dark ages......London was so very forward and smart.
Hold up. Looking back at this race now. Did you know, every single men’s in this race before, maybe run under 9.80 or better. Well my points is, this lineup was the most powerful lineup in the men’s 100 meters history, no other other 100 meter back in the old days should come close to this one. We talking about some of the best of the best, top of the top sprinters of all time in this race. Wow wow.
For perspective, Noah Lyles would have placed 5th in these finals after his recent victory in 100m. I don’t want to hear about Bolt’s record being in jeopardy ever again.
In my opinion, London 2012 will be the greatest summer Olympic Games of all time. It really felt like the best athletes of all time came together and just gave it 1001%.

Imagine a person sneezing twice in the audience, consecutively, when the race starts and by the time they open their eyes, Usain Bolt is already on his way home
The fact that this race happened 9 years ago and the comment section is still very active is a testament to the fact that this race is absolutely legendary.
Bolt Intro at 3:10 Race starts at 4:40 They run at 5:07 Usain crosses everyone at 5:13 Bolt wins at 5:36 Well, I already knew He was obviously gonna win, just to save your time and only see him run and win. By the way, look at the difference of the time stamps between they start to run and Bolt crossing everyone.
Why do we have last names? Why can’t we just stick to first names? How are last names created? How DO we receive our last names anyway? Did Adam and Eve have last names? Aren’t we all technically biologically related? How did we evolve? What is life now?
I love it when, after the race, as Bolt is slowly jogging/dancing around the arena and interacting with the crowd, and everyone is celebrating what he's just achieved, the commentator says 'These are moments to be treasured'. Such sweet words.
It's the camera angle that makes it seem like he's behind. Look at the different camera angles at 12:33. You can see that even from the beginning he was never trailing. He is actually ahead very shortly into the race.
pacus123 that is pretty arrogant……the other competitors are some of the fastest people in the world…they are the fastest among 7 billion people……usain might be the fastest man NOW….but in the future someone will break his record….and as you said…usain will be making up "the numbers" but usain is an olympic legend..but its only a matter of time till someone beats him
5 legends 5 under 9.89 3 under 9.79 1 under 9.69 And bronze medal in def 0.01 3 Jamaican vs 3 American What a race can't happen in near future it's one of century!
It seems that Bolt won 3 golds just yesterday. It is so vividly fresh and will remain etched in memory forever. He is one of those few for whom one can wake up anytime to watch him live. He was simply the best
Truly was a pleasure being able to turn on the Olympics and being able to see Bolt sprinting, Phelps swimming, lebron and Kobe hooping. This was my favorite Olympics ever
I think the other two guys are just happy to be competing with the Kings. Yohan Blake is just haapy for Bolt because he knows of his greatness. No jealousy whatsoever
The fact that there are still people watching this nearly a decade after the race happened just goes to show how legendary this race is.
Absolutely man
Yea
Real talk
This is the greatest 100m race of all time but 2015 worlds is up there as one of my favourites

What I find crazy is that these guys go through years of training, gym sessions, track sessions, early mornings, diet regimes, physiotherapists, massages, sweat, tears, just to name a fraction of their journey....for what ultimately comes down to 10 seconds of effort. Everything they worked for, all their hard effort, their dreams, goals, etc. Can either come true or get crushed in 10 seconds. True athletes.
That is what makes sprinting so special.

The person who arranged these participants deserve gold medal jamaica , usa , jamaica , usa , Best event , best commentary , best participants , best result ever in olympic
Then 9.80s and Tyson was 4. And now today Marcell Jacobs from Italy wins Men's 100m Gold with 9.80s timing.
Competition back then was tough...
Yeah thats insane
Bad timing
9.58 is the record
eh che vuoi cosa caz ci vuoi dire??
What's bolt doing when he late for bus? He waits on next station!
Run to di next station
Lol
If spider man can catch the bus bolt would beat the bus there
Usain Bolt doesn’t wait for the bus. The bus waits for Usain Bolt.
He simply will takes out his ferrari

London 2012 was the best olympics EVER - these emotions were insane and i have goosebumps watching random videos from this
He maintains social distancing even in an Olympic 100m final.... The Greatest
This is the definition of once in a lifetime race. Its probability gonna take another 100 years for a race like this to happen. I feel lucky that i watched it on live tv. 🔥 🥰
Me too! It was crazy in Jamaica during this Olympics. Like ppl in the streets, celebration everywhere! Even at work, there were shenanigans!
5:43
Bolt bends down, the camera men also go down...
This had me crackin....
🤣🤣🤣
Lol very true 😁
bunch of dumns
Ahahaha lmaoo
Lol that was funny
@@djmarsone5209 they doing they job idiot that’s what they get paid to do that what they want them to do the Camera man goes everywhere capture every moment if he as to be a track star that’s what he have to do to make money and capture everything that a lot of money they make m
Lol
The 4 fastest men in history over the 100m all in the same final. We probably will not see anything like this again in our lifetime
5 fastest men all together.
Imagine a person sneezing twice in the audience, consecutively, when the race starts and by the time they open their eyes, Usain Bolt is already on his way home
😂😂😂
Ahahahahaa 😂😂🤣🤣
😂🤣🤣🇯🇲
Aaaaachoooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that this race happened 9 years ago and the comment section is still very active is a testament to the fact that this race is absolutely legendary.
And just imagine.....Usain Bolt walking into his 10 year high school reunion with Olympic Golds around his neck.
High schools in Jamaica dosnt have reunions
@@joanmoulton1538 They do...
The diaspora have reunions and send funds to support the schools and students
@@joanmoulton1538 the popular schools have like kc and jc .. like have old boys association
Yesss now that would be something I wanna see
Each of the athletes on this line up would've been a champion if they were in a different era.
Bolt overshadowed all the champions!!!
It’s very weird to watch Tokyo Olympics 2020 without any spectators
It's all because of that bat soup smh
Ngl prefer it, can hear the athletes
@@Vincent-ws5dg 😷
Very unlucky especially locals
This is the greatest lineup in Olympic history. 6 of the fastest men of all time, happy to have witnessed this event
Bolt Intro at 3:10
Race starts at 4:40
They run at 5:07
Usain crosses everyone at 5:13
Bolt wins at 5:36
Well, I already knew He was obviously gonna win, just to save your time and only see him run and win.
By the way, look at the difference of the time stamps between they start to run and Bolt crossing everyone.
thank youuu
Thanks
Was the 6 second gap necessary?
Thank you
Ek number Mohammad bhai
Even 16 years later, Bolt still the GOAT
Absolutely 🎉
Whoever named him Bolt is a Genius
yeah whoever named him would be worthy to be his parents if they cam sup with it themselves
It's his last name so it's not given to him.
Bolt is his last name…his entire family name is bolt
Why do we have last names? Why can’t we just stick to first names? How are last names created? How DO we receive our last names anyway? Did Adam and Eve have last names? Aren’t we all technically biologically related? How did we evolve? What is life now?
@@Mobltz to prevent incest
This race had everyone who wasn't American cheering for Bolt and Jamaica
Most americans like bolt
Us Americans were cheering for Bolt, too🏃🏿♂️
I guess Americans Also like Bolt ⚡⚡⚡
The whole world likes bolt, bolt is the reason I almost broke my TV screen

You do realise that flash is thousand times more faster then usain bolt. If the flash was real he could go around the world in 1 second
Marvellous Milli r/wooosh
@@itzyagorl3450 you're incredibly smart
I love it when, after the race, as Bolt is slowly jogging/dancing around the arena and interacting with the crowd, and everyone is celebrating what he's just achieved, the commentator says 'These are moments to be treasured'. Such sweet words.
Blake/Gatlin: Can I win the race?
Bolt: Yes, upto 60m
It's the camera angle that makes it seem like he's behind. Look at the different camera angles at 12:33. You can see that even from the beginning he was never trailing. He is actually ahead very shortly into the race.
Awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Christopher A lol
@@ak2pacalypse Gatlin has a really good start but the long strides by Bolt😢
London 2012 Olympics was the best of all time.
Hi bro you from New York
No bejin 2008 better
What an incredible moment from the London Games! Which athletes are you looking forward to seeing in Rio 2016?
Lukas Krpalek Judo
right, young fella! thx, lol.
apple bee
pacus123 that is pretty arrogant……the other competitors are some of the fastest people in the world…they are the fastest among 7 billion people……usain might be the fastest man NOW….but in the future someone will break his record….and as you said…usain will be making up "the numbers" but usain is an olympic legend..but its only a matter of time till someone beats him
Really hope Gerard Kobeane has one more Olympics in him, love watching him run.
42 million views and counting Usain Bolt still captures the attention of the world even in retirement.A phenomenal athlete .
Crazy to think that this years 100m final medalists wouldn't have even made it on the podium in this race. What a final this was.
Just imagine if Bolt had gotten off to a lightning-fast start, too.
@@TonyEnglandUK he probably wouldn't have got that "adrenaline rush" that gets them to perform beyond their normal
If he was so fast, how come the cameraman overtakes him at 5:29
@@TonyEnglandUKbecause cameramen are immortal
Usain Bolt fixed the level so high for the coming 100 and 200m racers
5 legends
5 under 9.89
3 under 9.79
1 under 9.69
And bronze medal in def 0.01
3 Jamaican vs 3 American
What a race can't happen in near future it's one of century!
It seems that Bolt won 3 golds just yesterday. It is so vividly fresh and will remain etched in memory forever. He is one of those few for whom one can wake up anytime to watch him live. He was simply the best
Agreed 💯
Greatest olympics ever, 2012. I remember it so vividly too.
That race was the best race in the history. WOW. ALL THESE SUPER STARS!!!
Usain Bolt undoubtedly the greatest male sprinter of all time!!!!!
'male'? stfu
the greatest of all time, period
This is arguably the Greatest Lineup In HISTORY
The best summer olympics ever. I’m from London and even the city during those 2 weeks felt different. Everyone was on a high.
Anyone else is watching this historical run during the tokyo olympics.
Usain bolt 😍😍
We will miss you in tokyo tracks 💔💔
I'm Italian i'd love to see Jacobs against the greatest

Jacobs was outstanding in this race. Unpredictable moment.
If jacobs face bolt, bolt will win.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate probably the best 100m race ever ! What a gorgeous line up it was tho
Those were literally the fastest men ever all racing at once
Watching this again in 2023, the greatest lineup ever in history so far
I felt nervous just watching them 😂
Same
i hear u there
i hear u there
dude I had to pause the ever five seconds i was so nervous
I thought I was the only one feeling nervous 😂 even though I knew he won from the title
Who else has watched this at least 50 times over the past 8 years?
Gives me chills every time
More that 50.
Bolt, and Muhammad Ali. I've rewatched their epic videos more times than I can remember.
MORE THAN 50 TIMES😂..THOUGH I'M NOT A TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETE, BUT EVERYTIME I DO MY CARDIO WHICH ARE HILL SPRINTS I ALWAYS WATCH IT FOR MOTIVATION 💯🔥
Me🙋🙋
@@vozamaraktv-art5595 same here 🤗
This 9.63 and Yohans 19.26 the year before this are still such underrated times in my opinion, jus goes to show how insane Usain's WR's are.
Truly was a pleasure being able to turn on the Olympics and being able to see Bolt sprinting, Phelps swimming, lebron and Kobe hooping. This was my favorite Olympics ever
he went 0 to 100 real quick, literally

People like Bolt, Phelps are great inspiration for their discipline and dedication to the sport... Salute their spirits!🖖
5 fastest men of all time.. this must be the greatest 100m of all time.. and Bolt nailed it..
Who's here after the 2024 Paris Olympics race?
Goated Bolted, this era was different...
I am here before, during and after Paris. This is winning not that one of the L boy through VAR. Apparently he won with a shoulder 😅😊
After the Paris 2024 100m finals...I found myself here again to witness a lineup of greatness 😮
Usain Bolt legend 🔥🔥👏👏100 metre ,200 metre🔥🔥
I am😂
For me this is without a doubt the greatest sport moment of all time. i've watched this at least 100 times
My heart still races watching this like it did in 2012. The Olympics won't be the same without Usain Bolt.
yep
This race changed the athletic history. Hats off to UA-cam for showing it.👍
Just watching this back for the 100th time and it still give me chills, the greatest 100m line in history… bolt transcended the sport. Absolute legend
This is gotta be the best line up in 100 m history
So true
clint fatu Lauoletolo
Without question.
This race carry the five fastest men in history wow
Agreed
if asafa powell didnt get injured, he would've probably been in the front with the other 4 guys.
I think the other two guys are just happy to be competing with the Kings. Yohan Blake is just haapy for Bolt because he knows of his greatness. No jealousy whatsoever
MN gym.
Nah blake was jealous of bolt.
Bolt overshadowed him
9.75 is silver? lol. I think this is the fastest 100m competition ever in history
Forget about silver, 9.80 and you got NO MEDAL.
Fresh Prince Who cares? Usain Bolt is still the fastest man in the world lol
(Sorry about the who cares)
I believe it is
@mujitsu mara where the prove
@mujitsu mara 😐😐
was an honour to watch bolt in his prime in these days, literally watching an unbeatable legend of the sport
We wont see a sprint lineup like that again for a LONG time!
