Jamaican Usain Bolt sets a new Olympic record as he retains his 100m Gold medal at the London 2012 Olympics on the 5 August 2012.
Fellow Jamaican Yohan Blake finished second, with USA's Justin Gatlin taking the Bronze medal in the event.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men. =========================================

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
Best 100m everrr!!!
Running 9.80s got you 4th place.
This is undeniably the most legendary 100m field ever put together.
But this year 9.80 got jacobs 1st place
@@airearheir yea! we were so blessed to witness the Golden Era of power sprinting!
2012 had so much crazy potential. Didn't everyone run 100m before in 10 seconds
@@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
@@airearheir with negative wind tho, could have been on par with the top in 2012 with +1.5... except for Bolt ofc he was an alien
This lineup was insane.. There is not a faster collection of runners, in one place, at any point in history..
Too bad asafa's legs decided to turn off
Maybe one day there will be but Bolt was such a showman and performed his best when the lights were brightest
Who's watching this race with me in 2024?

Ahh

This comment is so underrated.
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.
Tbh I see it as a waste of energy, but each to their own. Humans possess such a great body and brain they are much more suited for tasks that require agility and academics. Over practicing our bodies to make them do something which they were not made for is just a waste in my eyes as with same efforts on fields for which our body was designed would give us much higher jump. We remember the many top academics from hundreds of centuries ago but barely any athletes.
Anyway, that's my take on it, anyone is free to do whatever they like lol.
@Rei Ren Mate, don't try and talk your self up like you're even in the same universes, no, no...dimension, as these guys.
@Rei Ren exercise some self control and stop typing. You're embarrassing your self.
They do have other competitions too
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 ⚡️ 🇯🇲 💪🏽
A distant second...
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.
Guy with Ferrari: Hey ! Do you want a ride?

This is the greatest lineup of sprinters on the track in olympic history
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!!!
The way Bolt comes from behind to overtake the fastest line up of men in history is crazy. A once in a lifetime athlete
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.
He became the goat of sprinting in that race.

We'll never see a race like this ever again. The 100m final this year won't be nearly as legendary!
London 2012 was spectacular.
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.
Wow. Usain Bolt: the one of a kind sportsman where no matter what country you're from, you just want him to win, because he's that incredible.
+Myron Zhang Except people from the USA.
Well maybe there are quite a few who want Gatlin to win, but Bolt is still one of the few unanimously loved sportsman.
+Myron Zhang You can want your own countrymen to win yet still be a huge fan of an athlete from another country. I think most Americans like Bolt as well, but of course we want an American to win Gold at the Olympics!
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.
Myron Zhang I get that you're saying. He's very likable
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.

sameeeeee
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...
Having the WR for 100m and 200m is enough already
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
Couldn’t agree any more . Perfectly put sir
@@justchillin6314 bolt won the 2016 olympics. He finished 3rd in the world championships the next year
That 2008-2016 era might be the best era ever in pro track and field.
Greatest 100m race of all time. ALL the big guys were in there. Incredible.
This will forever be the Greatest 100m Final of All time!
If only Powell never got injured...
@Alejandro Rodriguez 😅yeah bro that insane
Agreed!
@@archangel0137 0.05 away from the World Record! Bolts form was unmatched. That’s the 2nd fastest time in History.
@@rlmiuploadhighqualityvideo5185 He always does that when he is losing outside the top 3. That is why he has never won a world champion gold or Olympics medal.
The Fact that Usain Bolt won convincingly against the most STACKED lineup of all time solidified him as the GOAT in itself.
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
@@Machozz he was a slow starter and fastest finisher
@@MaybachSniper
In 6 years come back here and see if your comment still stands. Knighton is going to seriously challenge Bolts numbers. I expect at least 19.20 and 9.62 from him on his best days.
@@fender1000100 that’s bold but hey Knighton is as naturally gifted as anyone I’ve ever seen so I wouldn’t be completely shocked, I predict 19.30 and 9.72 for his best times.

Everybody talks about Usain, but nobody about the others. Everyone in that race were and are great runners, real champions.
not noone but nobody
Wow. His last name just happens to be bolt.
"Just happens"

What's bolt doing when he late for bus? He waits on next station!
Run to di next station

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
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 💯

Watching this again in 2023, the greatest lineup ever in history so far
Usain Bolt fixed the level so high for the coming 100 and 200m racers
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
Asafa wasn't injured. He stopped racing because he tripped at the start and couldn't settup his driving phase properly and slowed down

It is without question the greatest lineup of all time.

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.
Tyrone Tyler this lineup was the absolute cream of the crop. Golden age of sprinting for sure
Yep... the PEDS just keep getting better and better
and they all black

All true. The 1991 World Championship 100m final is the only one to come close. That's still my all time favorite 100m race.

The commentator deserves an award
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
He has the world record splits for 30m and over. Not such a slow starter tbh.
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.
Once he has his head up after like 30 meters nobody on this planet can beat him.
exactly
he starts off slow because of his height he's 6'5 and its difficult for him to get a good start so he has to make up for that in order to win
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
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

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%. The competition was so intense from every sport, from Athletics to Gymnastics. While the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympics had great aesthetics, it almost felt predictable who would win each event, and the competition wasn't as close.
I agree. The support was amazing too, stadium was packed for all the sessions.
The field events in 2016 though were really intense. Almost all of them came down to the final throws/jumps but yeah, 2012 was just special
nah, swimming in Beijing was better!
Agreed 1000%. This Olympic Games of London 2012 will be the greatest one ever.
I agree. Coz even the basketball was very competitive.
The best lineup in all of Olympic history
This was the best 100m ever for me, all of the best men competing, it was cold...This final is GOATed
