Noah Lyle's can't match any of those dudes 😂
this is the greatest 100 final ever. it’s not even close
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
seeing guys drop casual 9.8s and 9.9s in the prelims and semis was so insane
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..!
That generation was unreal. A 9.80 only got you fourth place.
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
Lol hella sad
@@ianm8218there were so many goats in most sports playing in the early 2000s-2010s. A special time in history to watch for sure.
The only guy I never got to watch I wish I did was Michael Jordan ☹️🥲
We will never ever seen an era of sprinting like this again. The 5 fastest men of all time competing at the same time. That 2007-2013ish era was SPECIAL. The golden era of sprinting culminating with the London 2012 final.
I absolutely LOVED this segment. Great podcast.
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!
Those five made Ryan Bailey and Richard Thompson look like side characters🤣
😂
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
Thank you Justin Gatlin for being such a fierce competitor, I don't think Usain would have pushed himself as hard without strong competitor like you, thanks again
Bro😂😂😂..lol Gatlin only compete with bolt in last year
@@jerrellholder8382🤡
Gatlin has always been portrayed at the villain (on British TV anyway). But he’s actually a really humble, nice guy. He knows he’s one of the best of all time but he can also concede that Bolt was another step up from him and everyone else.
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 love the humility in Gatlin....A man who is not afraid to admit his highs and lows.
That's true! I liked him, a guy with great humility!
He's a classy brother!
As a Jamaican, I really have a newfound respect for Jason #Gaitlin, with the way he spoke about this race as well as his feelings after his semi. He's a good sportsman. He didn't sound bitter, just glad to be apart of that historic race👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
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.
Jamaicans were only ever afraid of two men in the 100s and the 200s Gatlin and Gay. In the years where Gatlin was on suspension, Gay was the only person stopping us from dominance. In the womens we had Jeter, Richards-Ross and Felix that always made us nervous. Wwhat a time to be alive and witness all these great athletes.
That race had the top all time fastest men in history Indeed. Usain Bolt 9.58, Yohan Blake 9.69, Tyson Gay 9.69, Asafa Powell 9.72, Justin Gatlin 9.74. To think Asafa Powell is at number 4, he was the world record holder 2005-2008.
Im saying thats the best final
@@NEVERANGRYBUTIRIEThe best final ever. The fastest runners ever. The 5th fastest man in that race 9.74 by Justin Gatlin is still the fastest time because it cannot be matched by any printer on Earth.
Tyson Gay 9.71
@@Shysta30 9.71 was his time at the Berlin world champs, but he ran 9.69 in Shanghai that same year
These guys pushed eachother to a different level.
These days 9.8 flat you will take all medals you participate in
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
Imagine the fastest line up in history. Now what’s amazing is that Bolt comes from behind to overtake the fastest men in history to win easy all in the space of under 10 seconds. It’s amazing
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
Bolt was not only the greatest, he ran with the greatest.
That line up of Ryan Bailey, Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake, Tyson Gay, Usain Bolt, Charandy Martina. The greatest line up of all times. Justin's greatness was discounted by many. He was maybe the greatest contributor to Bolt's greatness. He and Blake forced Bolt to run like his life depended on it
Mostly Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake in Bolts prime Justin a bit later yes.
As a Jamaican, I can safely say that,Gatlin is the one that most Jamaicans give respect to in the track and field
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.
I remember watching this race live. The atmosphere was palpable. The best 100m race ever.
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.
9.8 flat and no medal is insane. So much talent in that race
I have watched it so many times.... it's nice to hear Gatlin's perspective. It's funny 😅
"And in that moment... I had a thought. I was like ahhhhh".
Haha he is funny.
Greatest ensemble of sprinters they’ll ever be-5 of the fastest men in history. I was 21 years old, man. Nostalgia 💪🏽
I played basketball with Justin once. Just a pickup game at the rec. I can't explain to y'all how fast that man is. We're all athletes out there, and we get on a fast break, and we're trucking as fast as we can, and Justin comes FLYING past us, and the dude was f*cking jogging. Zero effort, zero strain, literally jogged past us sprinting.
I had a classmate who played WR for the Seahawks for several years, and we thought he was blazing fast. Justin makes NFL wide receivers look slow.
Justin Gatlin was so underrated, the fan villian
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.
He was a drug cheat, so he deserved that villian title, he's a disgrace to athletics
I have always had so much love and admiration for Justin. Ever since he came to Jamaica at the Douglas Forest track meet.
The Jamaica vs. USA is always a vibes.
I’ve seen said race countless times, but it’s so good to hear a firsthand account. I get excited all over again 🤗
If only Powell was healthy in that final... Don't get me wrong it was great seeing the 5 fastest men of all time in one race but seeing Powell pull up like that hurt
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.
Big respect Gatlin, the way he talked about other athletes is so professional, no insults.
Im glad i watched it live . Mo farah smashed the long distance
I have so much respect for Justin Gatlin. Gracious in defeat, humble in victory!
Hallo Gentlemen, this is a breath of fresh air from the European commentators that have always wanted to pit brother against brother in people from the carribean islands and the USA. I have been coaching for a long time and I love your objectivity regardless of where you hail from. Keep up the good work gentlemen. As for Justin Gatlin, you still hold a very special place in my heart because only Linford Christy has done what you have. The button change over in the 4x100m in both USA men and women’s teams have been the USA’s Achilles tendon. Granted, you can play with athletes in minor competitions but when it comes to the Worlds, let alone the Olympics, you don’t mess us up by trying with error methods. Thank you gentlemen for being non partisan in your discussions and deliberations.
Glad to have watched it at my aunt's house, I'll never forget that Olympics, thank you Sir Gatlin
Great interview with an all-timer. Thanks for sharing and thanks to Mr. Gatlin for participating.
I love the competitive nature of this guy.
From Jamaica - shout out to Gatlin from an admirer of an overcomer!
Keep on doing you, and I hope all the very best for you going forward.
Is a book in the works? You have a wonderful story to tell.
Well said Justin. I think everyone was outstanding. Justin I am a Jamaican, however. you were amazing. The Americans, everyone was a winner. I don't think there will ever be another 100m Finals like this!!!.
I agree 100% Justin is an amazing athlete. Coming from a Jamaican aa well
Loved this era. You made Olympics so fun. Love you guys❤
Our CHURANDY MARTINA from the island of Curaçao 🇨🇼 was part of this historic race in 2012. He is now 38 years old (may 2024) and is doing his best to qualify for his 6th Olympics (Paris 2024). He has been qualifying since the 2004 Olympics 🇨🇼🇨🇼
I have watched that race over 50 times with same hyped feeling
I was in Belgium when that race was been run or whatever! Hours glued to the set when the 100m was in focus because I knew during my lifetime I would never see a greatest assemble of champions running this race. It was incredible from the levels of dominance of prepping and the power displayed during those heats till the final. It was great to see. No matter what thank you gentlemen thank you for a great race!
Justin Gatlin!!! One of the best to ever do it!
My respect Gatling you earned it 🇯🇲😀😀💯meter your a legend. Bro you're welcome to Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 anytime bro looking forward to meet u in real one day your an inspiration believe me bro u having been through what u been through an have the courage to come back an compete a mean like facing the world 🌍 u have a the heart of a LION bro you're determine person an I respect u for that God bless you an you're family stay safe peace one love🙏💯💯💯💯💯🇯🇲👍
Justin you are easily one of my fav track athletes of all time. I love watching your channel and stories. You and Bolt were in a world of your own when you had those race against each other and it was amazing to watch. I get goosebumps every time I see you come out of the outside and winning that last race of his. The respect you showed after is the best part. True sportsman. Keep it up bro thank you for your contributions 🇺🇸. Love from Montana.
Love to see Justin Gatlin, We love this man. Justin's competitiveness, sportsmanship, and excitement brought together "Usain Bolt", Asafa Powel, Tyson Gay, and Yohan Blake. Thank you for what you did for the sprint events. watching from Sri Lanka
Thanks for sharing these special memories, I was there that day behind the start line. Was incredible to witness 🔥
THIS RACE GAVE ME MAJOY ANXIETY..
What an unbelievable line up of talent. We were spoilt for choice in that era. A once in a lifetime for sure or possibly even many.
Anyone who did not witness this race will never understand how great that was. As a soccer fan, I was gripped with tension like i've never been before that day.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
Justin is a very cool dude.
This is how media can make you a monster on perception of others
Respect and one love to you brother Gatlin !
I loved to hate you back then 😅. You know what I always imagined…. What would be the time on a 4x100m with these guys on the same team.
I hope we will be treated to this intense level of competition again ! Magical !
🇺🇸 🇯🇲 🇺🇸🇯🇲 🔥🔥🔥
This was an epic race... Watched all of it from semis. Truly lived up to the hype
Easily the greatest 100m ever, no doubt! Classic.
My favorite Olympic event of all time.
Was a great race, goosebumps just remembering it.
Amazing perspective from a true hall of famer. Quality
That 100m final was absolutely awesome indeed.
I wouldn't exactly say that Blake took off. He was slightly faster than you in the latter part of the race, but not that much faster. Usain absolutely took off.
The 5 fastest man ever in that race and 3 of them pretty close to their peak form (you, Usain and Yohan Blake). Gay wasn't as fast as in 2009, otherwise I think he would have got 2nd place. Asafa too wasn't as fast as in 2008 (his peak) but he was still decent, though he chocked in any major event, so nothing new there.
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
Yes, all the greats were there; the Pantheon of Track & Field. Love ALL these guys! Love 'em!
thank you for giving us the best of your talent. I am happy to have seen the fastest men on earth run.
3:48 you can see a bottle thrown
How the hell they didn't get distracted.
World class focus level
Salute to you, Mr. Gatlin for all that you have done and are still doing to advance this great sport.
You're a true winner and a great man!
yooo this is such good content! Love this
Greatest 100m line up in history 🔥🔥🔥so glad i lived in that era....
That had to be the most intimidating race to ever be apart of in world history. You new as a runner pressure was imminent from the gun. A race like that requires you to summon something in you that you've never done.
Respect to Gatlin. A true competitor. You brought out the best in the Jamaicans and they brought out the best in you. You were the real threat to the Jamaicans. Never knew you were so humble
Always loved Gatlin, to overcome that ban & to compete at the top level again after so long out shows how top class he was & always has been
And Bolt set the Olympic record that still stands till today!
Big up JT! Was really blessed to have witnessed such a race.
Bolt all the way....❤️🇯🇲
It will take many many years before we see another line up like that again. They were and still are amazing athletes who inspired so many people to reach for greatness.
I agree with Gatlin but I was surprised that Gatlin didn't pay attention on the last 50m of the race, "changing gears" is the most important application in the sport.Thanks for sharing your thoughts Gatlin!
My favorite Olympic sport, track! Awesome.
9.80 gets your 4th 😮 what a race😲
One love bless up
I didn't know that Gatlin was so funny n full of vybz🤣🤣🤣🤣he says all of a sudden he thought he was winning,n BAM! there comes Usain 😂😂😂😂
Great memories. I was a volunteer at the wembley arena. There's was Brazil playing and the race was about the start. We all stopped working to watch the race. It was special.
Gatlin. . I salute you. . real sports man
I guess the rivalry between USA and Jamaica can seem so intense but i for one as a Jamaican appreciate and love athletes from both countries Justin is a freaking inspiration i can't recall anyone coming off a 4 year ban and freaking dominating the sport afterwards.. tyson gay is another one dude needed to run 9.69 which seemed impossible and did it that's just nuts. The two countries keep pushing each other to be at their absolute best and i don't see any other country really dominatibg the sport for the foreseeable future. Big up Mr Gatlin. Respect and love from Jamaica. Such a humble dude too.
Awesome interview
Gallin you are good for the sport. You have great commentary skills. Continue being you.
Here from Jamaica! Keep doing great Justin
big up yourself Gatlin... you guys made the 100 meter ,very excited with the work u put in..
What a gentleman Gatlin is.
Dude came 9.80 and came 4th. Unbelievable
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.
We got to give it to Tyson Gay .
Loved watching usain
Hey bruh repping for 🇯🇲 I love this podcast. Respect Gaitlin, I always see you as a threat during your years of competing.
No one can touch da boss! Bolt 2 da world 🇯🇲
Justin's race mechanics were poetry in motion.
I remember watching this race, pretty damn amazing…. What an incredible story coming from someone like Gatlin, i also remember thinking he could actually win it and then Bolt just took it over halfway through.
Legendary
All those Runners are legends.
Justin is an amazing athlete .everyone in that race was absolutely 💯 amazing. From a Ja 🇯🇲
Incredible athletes 👍
BOLT is the reason why they are running so fast at that time. .Nowadays, you can't see that kind of time. .
Usain!!! Jamaica 🇯🇲
This was a great race!!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Those were great times. Every race was must see TV.
Usain bolt,,,the moon,,the moon will never fall,,he is a gift from the most high 🤔🥇🎶🎺
I love this, tv really made him out to be a bad guy, I was not ready for this soft spoken calm demeanor person he is hilarious.
