  • There's good, there's great, and then there's unbeatable!
    Since the early inception of track and field in the late 1800s, various athletes have redefined the meaning of dominant. While some have great seasons, all athletes in this video spent multiple years without taking a single loss!
    Making this video was a surreal experience, as multiple athletes spent almost 10 years without leaving the victory lane!
    *Note - This list does not include qualification rounds!*
    Thanks for watching!

    In high school I was undefeated for a few years at the one mile.
    It was an amazing feeling.
    I never appreciated it enough when I was young.
    Now I’m in my 30s and am constantly grinding to get fast again.

    • @fastinradfordable
      @fastinradfordable 4 роки тому +20

      4:20 on the track.
      4:11 on a road mile with minor downhill.
      Never improved on my junior year. Due to mom getting re-married. Moving during my senior year. And I had to get a job and had to work nights during my last year.
      I ran 4:23 as a sophomore but never ran as fast as I thought I could. I had mental barriers. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t have been closer to 4:10.
      In college I got injured freshman year. But did manage a 26:08 8k.
      But never went faster in the mile.
      I wish I could go back in time and take training more seriously.

    Iolanda Balas was an amazing athlete and shows us that it is not always rock and paper... scissors are winners! (Apology for my poor pun) It was fantastic to see all these superb athletes in one video. I was fortunate to be at my peak when Edwin Moses was making 400m Hurdle history. I always admired him and his work ethic during those years. He inspired many others to improve in their respective events. Thanks again, TRP!

    A firm thumbs up and hearty well done to TRP. This piece was informative seeing familiar performances and becoming acquainted with previously unknown athletic bars set. Even honorable mentions contributed to the excellent content. This is a question, and by no means a criticism, but I was curious if U.S. discus thrower Al Oerter was someone who could've made your video. Four consecutive gold medal podium appearances from the Melbourne Games in 1956 to the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City is a very impressive standard, and only equalled by Lewis' long jump achievements 28 years later.

      Good question, and no, qualification rounds weren't included, which makes sense, there's no reason to push to the lead if you're comfortably in the top 3 or 4 in order to make it to the finals. That was a key point in the list, and I 100% agree with it.

    • @stevegeorge6880
      @stevegeorge6880 4 роки тому

      I would guess that it doesn't as the goal is not to win but to secure an adequate placing to advance, and athletes will often pace their performances towards that goal so as not to compromise their effort to win the final race. Plus, one can see the preliminaries as simply leadups to or early parts of the race proper. Boxers will often give away rounds to feel out opponent's and save performance for when it really counts.

    Al Oerter didn't make the list? He should had been on this too. He was an unbeatable discus thrower for many years. Won gold medals in 4 Olympic Games in the discus (1956, 1960, 1964, & 1968).

    Do these records include the elimination rounds?

      Good question, and no they don't. Many athletes only need to be in top 3 or 4 to qualify for the next round so winning isn't a necessity. Good question.

    I love the American commentary. He has to tell us that Paris is in France and Tokyo's in Japan. But then at 8:32 drops "USC" like we should all know what that is.
