This actually also showed me that starting out slower is better. It's like when you're trying to accelerate a fast car as quickly as possible or doing a 1/4 mile. Too much power(energy) in the beginning and you lose traction and end up having a slower time. However if you do it just right. Using less power(energy) in the acceleration can lead to a quicker time. I know it's not an exact side to side comparison, but you can see it's basically the same principle. Take it easy in the beginning.
@@TheWayToWin Ye, but people ain't listening 😂. It's crazy because after your video about the women's 400m record. I did a bit of research and found a stupendous amount of women went out quicker than the WR pace. They could definitely surpass that performance.
2017 Wayde van Niekerk is the best all around sprinter we have ever seen. He broke the 10s barrier in the 100m, the 20s barrier in the 200m, set the still standing 300m WR and went well below 44s in the 400m with a time of 43.65s. And he did this in a span of 27 DAYS. If only he hadn't gotten injured. Usain Bolt is the absolute fastest sprinter we have ever seen. In 2009, he set all three of the 100m WR, 200m WR and the rarely run 150m WR on a straight track on the streets of Manchester. He achieved the highest sprint speed ever recorded by a human being en route to his 150m WR. If only he continued to take the sport seriously after that. Michael Johnson is by far the most consistent and dominant sprinter we have ever seen. He went undefeated in both the 200m and 400m for a ridiculously long time, I can't remember the specifics but I believe it was almost a decade. He set the 200m WR that Bolt broke and both the 300m WR and 400m WR that Wayde broke.
I feel like we need to set new markers for the 100 and 200. High schoolers are breaking 10s and 20s now. A pro running sub10 or sub20 is no longer the special achievement it once was. It's now a so-what accomplishment because you can't even consider yourself a top athlete unless you're consistently running well below those times. I don't doubt for a second that Michael Johnson wouldn't have been below 10s had he been running on the tracks we have today.
@@stacyb1341No high schooler has run a wind legal sub 10 second 100m yet. The fastest high schooler/college freshman last year is banned for drugs and his records are likely getting wiped. You're statement on considering top athletes based on running well below 10 and 20 seconds is incorrect. You really mean the top of the top athletes. An elite sprinter doesn't need to run 9.7 or 19.6 to be considered elite. 9.9 and 19.8 or even 19.9 is still elite level regardless of what people on UA-cam have to say about it. As far as Michael Johnson, he didn't need today's tracks to run sub 10. Tracks aren't THAT much faster now than when he competed (remember the track built for the 1996 Olympics was the fastest in the world at the time and was a modern Mondo track that saw both the 100m and 200m world records broken). If Johnson wanted to focus more on the 100m he could've run 9.99 in the 90's but he said himself that he wasn't a 100m guy so he didn't try to.
Personally i think wayde van niekerk is the best all around as he is a sub 10, sub 20, and world record in the 300 and the 400. Usain was never able to break sub 44 and michael johnson never able to break sub 10.
Well, I disagree. Michael Johnson is a primary example of a Swiss army knife, he was able to attain 8 world championships, half of those being individual 400 meter races. 4 Olympic golds, 3 being individual races back to back. individual Wayde might have a pr advantage but you saw what happened when Wayde tried to do the double. He wasn’t able to. Also, Michael Johnson is the most consistent runner in 400 meter history. He was able to run sub 44 , 22 times! While wayde has 5 or 6. Same thing with the 200, Mike went sub 20 , 24 times. Meanwhile I believe wayde has ran under 20 twice. In the 100, Michael had very poor execution because he had not trained for the 100, and he was still able to achieve a time of 10.09. It’s clear that the most consistent runner beats the inconsistent runner 9/10.
@@hurdlegod4933I agree with you. Wayde is my favorite athlete, but I can't ignore the facts. He ran sub 20 4 times. Three on the bend and one straight. He broke 44 6 times. As much as I love the guy he really only has Johnson beat in the 100m since he's run sub 10 twice. Johnson has more medals, better consistency and longevity. Wayde is a great athlete, but Johnson's overall career is better.
@@khumokwezimashapa2245 I said the best all around athlete, I didnt say best athlete. Johnson and Bolt have more accomplishments and faster times but they are not better than wayde van niekerk all around
@@SpeedSportsMag.Unlike Usain Bolt, he surely studied how other people ran before him, so he adjusted accordingly. He is unofficially the best all-around sprinter in the world now.
Best all round sprinter is Fred Kerley. The athleten that had the most potential is Bolt but running the 400m fast wasn't something he was too keen on! He didn't have the mentality to run the 400m because of the pain he would feel
Kerley hasn't done enough to be that yet. He's had only 2 good seasons in the short sprints. This video is talking about all-time all around sprinter not just recently. Kerley isn't touching Wayde yet.
I like this race..some Sprinters are better at it than others...others are better at other races..JUST THAT SIMPLE!!!! THEY'RE ALL GREAT AT WHAT THEY DO& THE RACES THEYRE MORE FIMILAIR WITH!!!!
watched it live and even recorded it, but unfortunately, I lost the video cassette several years ago. Fortunately, someone has finally uploaded the video.
Nope. Bolt still had a better start and acceleration than Coleman in his 9.58 record and his 9.69 (Coleman still hasn't started faster than Bolt in those races to this day). Coleman starts too fast many times and thus burns himself out before he hits 70m. This is why his best is 9.7 and Bolts best is 9.5. I haven't watched the video yet but this channel has often talked about starting too fast as being detrimental to the race so why would you mention Coleman who is known to fade in the later stages because of his energy expenditure at the start? Someone who had a better start than Coleman is Asafa Powell who had a fast start but it was very efficient and didn't burn him out later in the race.
@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035Coleman has started faster than Bolt through 30m several times (3.77 for Coleman in 9.94/2017, 9.79/2018, 9.76/2019) vs (3.78 Bolt 9.69/2008 and 9.58/2009).

@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035I wouldn't say Coleman burns himself out in his peak races that is probably just his level lol he maintained 0.84 50-80m in 9.76, and his VL (Velocity Loss) (Time difference between Fastest 10m and the 90-100m section) is the same as other 9.7 runners, his actual max v just isn't as high as them (best 10m value for Coleman I've seen is 0.835/0.84 from Doha 9.76) versus other guys at 0.83 and below that have run 9.7 (Powell, Gatlin, Kerley, Bromell, Omanyala, Greene). Not sure of Nesta Carter 9.78 numbers except for 6.39+3.39 60+40
thats like saying imagine if you could be 100% and 100% white at the same time... not possible, you either have extremely long legs and higher top end speed potential, or have shorter legs and have much higher potential for your start, cant have it both ways
He had a great coach and he didn't need Bolt's coaching. Johnson's coaching worked for Johnson. He said himself that he wasn't built for the 100m so he didn't attempt to focus on it. He also said he could've run it faster but he was better at the 200m and 400m so he focused on his best events.
from what i know he trained oldshool. Lots of volume but not so much speed and rarley accelerration. Of course he wasn't confident for the 100 with this kind of training. For me he had everything to be the top sprinter from 100-400. He was a freak.@@gmaxsfoodfitness3035
