what i didnt like about powell is the way he would give up if people passed him....Didnt like how he wouldnt just go for the line instead of easing up if he knew he wasnt going to win
@@laiswith2dots Yes. Nowadays the talent is so low. Lamont Jacobs just runs a 9.80 in the Olympic final. Andre de Grasse, Kenneth Bednarek and Ferdinand Omurwa Omanyala are the only consistent sprinters.
I must say that I am happy I was alive during the 2012 london Olympics, Watching super stars in the 100m final. The people who defined Modern and took Modern sprinting to another level. Bolt, Blake, Gatlin, Gay, and Asafa. It's always goosebumps whenever I watch. It will never be the same again
Crazy how all 5 are the only ones to go under a legal 9.75 and we're all around the same era. And it's already been a decade since but no one has been able to go under that time.
Yes.. never had an Olympic men's 100m final had this many athletes in the final associated with performance enhancing drug allocations and suspensions. Oh wait, I forgot about the1988 Olympic Men's 100 final in in Seoul South Korea.
I really thought he could have pushed Bolt to the line in the Olympics 200m final in london 2012...he ran well but bolt still won it with yards to spare..that said he then ran 19.26 a few weeks later in a diamond league
Last decade was the best ever for sprinting..we ll probably never witness again 5 men competing in the same era running sub 9.80...an era were with 9.71 you just get a silver medal or running 9.80 is not enough to get the podium
Yo! You are so right. People don't realize he's been performing at this level for soooo long! I'm 42 years old and I'm from Pensacola, Fl where Gatlin finished high school. My brother, who is 3 years younger, used to hand him the baton in high school! And he is still doing this. Amazing!
@@RegzalTG ye but even if you look at times, Lyles PB is faster than De Grasse by 1/3 of a second and he's 2 years younger so still has years left in the sport.
I just think Usain Bolt is a upstanding Gentleman! His 100 m ww is gonna be hard to beat. It’s borderline almost not humanly possible! This guy is one of my favorites of all time!
@@dirtyvicinkorporate54 27.8 mph ( 44.72km/h) was his topspeed Reached at 67m mark in his 2009 world record 9.58 100m race. Well, he has come close to his topspeed many times above 44km/h . Also when Bolt finished this race at the finish line he was decelerating , so maybe 30km/h or less when he crashed the girl
You forgot Justin Gatlin’s 9.78 at the Monaco DL (2015), his 9.77 at the Brussels DL (2014) and his 9.75 at the Lausanne DL (2015). Also, De Grasse’s “9.69” should not be in this list. Absolutely ridiculous. Get your facts right, Diamond League.
Bolt and Asafa are clean. Bolt is the only teenager who could have run 19.70 at 15 if he never slowed and had gone all out. Asafa was running extreme fast time long before he knew how fast he is. When you want to talk rubbish. Do your research. No other athlete has run these fast times as junior and then transcend to the senior level. At 15 Usain could have been a medalist. Asafa at 19
You like "power"' runners. Stride runners like Bolt and technical runners (Degasse and Coleman) are the three ways that I categorize the world class sprinters today. Power runners could be NFL forces and would be least affected by wearing pads. Pads would seriously degrade the other types of runners.
Blake was the only one in this generation that could challenge Blot's WR, but sadly he got a bad injury. Like imagine running a 9.69 with a slight headwind man that's just insane.
maybe the 200m but no chance with the 100m...With the 100m you either have to have Bolts long stride length or have Tyson Gays leg acceleration and even then Gay was running way too fast for his body and in the end his body started to break down
@@ruthryan9173He had a chance to make it close though. 9.69 as the 2nd fastest time for a runner not named Bolt to 9.58 is a big difference. I truly believed if Blake didn’t get injured he could have gotten a 9.65 sub run.
I don’t think he will shock the world. Yeah he’s still pretty young but he is way out of his prime. WAY out. As of now, he would have to really try to even get under 10 seconds. I don’t even think he’s gone under 20 seconds at all in the 200m this year. Also, it looks like he’s put on a lot more bulk on his muscles which can slow him - but I’m not sure about that 100%. But don’t worry he still has a year and a half to get up to par again so he cam at least run under 9.90 lmao
Haters Hangout I'm a sprinter most people slow down a little bit if they are ahead of everyone but you can actually only sustain top speed for 10-20 meters of the race so your actually slowing down alot before the finish line anyways
Cuz when you run 100m you use atp-pc system to run which lasts less than 10 seconds and then your body gets a bit tired which is why they usually slow down at the last
Sometimes I consider trying to become a professional sprinter. I am quite fast. I can hit 8.8 metres a second currently. But then I remember I'd be racing Jamaicans who run 10.4 meters a second and my hopes are just shattered lmao
Substances. The fact Gatlin got caught earlier in his career but not later doesn't mean he wasn't using later. Barry Bonds never got caught, but it was 100% clear to everyone he was juicing during the last half decade plus of his career. Meanwhile, Bolt's career progression, peak, and decline looked natural.
Gatlin probably has the best start in the world. He consistently jumps out ahead of the field. Bolt has the greatest top-end speed. He'll give you 60 meters of glory, and then sail right past you FTW!🏃🏿♂️
2011 championships he had his best technique and was right there with others on start. 9.50s though not possible in -1 wind in those races. But probably low 9.60s. But he got DSQ.
Maybe other chance to low 9.50s in 2012 semi final he got well from blocks better than in final and it was warmer and he would been less tired. In final it was bit cold and he did 9.63s while slipped bit on start and dipped too early.
I must say that Bolt, Powell, Gay and Blake really pushed sprinting to another level
I agree
dont forget gatlin
What about coleman and gatlin
Gatlin is a nobody, should have been after his first case
Only Bolt in that list still stands up to scrutiny. The others times we can never rely on.
Seeing Powell's start is a thing of beauty, best start form of all time hands down, it's literally textbook
Yeah its clean
Asafa Powell in my opinion is the most fluid sprinter of all time. If I was teaching youth athletes how to run, he's the only one I'd ever show them.
If bolt has Powell's start then he will run 9.2secs
Christian Coleman is better I think
what i didnt like about powell is the way he would give up if people passed him....Didnt like how he wouldnt just go for the line instead of easing up if he knew he wasnt going to win
Asafa's technique is soo good to watch still can't get over how well it is
Yep! The best 100m sprinting technician ever!
beauty to behold
