Yeh, only do it if the wins secured, and you’re 100% sure you are far from your PR, which is probably never a good idea in a 100, 200, probably even a 400. Reserve it for the tactical Distance races like the 1500, 800, 5k, etc
mYSport I mean, for qualifiers, small meets, when your just testing the waters sure. But when you’re at a world championship or some major meet in the finals and your coming out clearly in good time (possibly world record time) I don’t think there’s any reason to ease up (in a bad way as in intentionally slow down). And you say it’s for preservation, but that means only 1 person is ever preserving themselves, because the only person to ever ease up is in first.
Only Bolt can do it and break records..However, I still believe his 9.69 is the greatest because if he hadn't ease up 20m before finish the WR would have flash @ 9.52 or even lower. That race still blow my mind to this day.
@@FullersFlexing Usain Bolt has the highest recorded instantaneous velocity of any athlete in the world under legal track and field conditions, meaning he is the fastest athlete without aid of wind (his WR 100 was into a slight headwind at low elevation, so more air friction) or any technologies other than spikes and track.
@@FullersFlexing i believe you are possibly referring to Coleman's WR 60 meter dash? Coleman didnt beat Bolt's top speed in the 60m world record. 60 meters is about quickness and coordination, not reaching a high top speed.
He actually squandered his gifts. As much as he achieved he could of achieved more if he had been more serious. Because he actually declined young for a sprinter. When you think after the age of 23 Bolt declined. Now we have to wait for a similar physical specimen who does take it seriously. That's when Bolts records fall.
@Makhulu Mapogo That's due to how much swimming has evolved in the last 10 years, not because Phelps wasn't stupendously good. If anything, it's because he was so good, that swimming evolved so much.
Damn, Michael Johnson must have had great speed endurance. He ran the 2nd half of his 200m at 9.2 flat, 0.07 faster than Bolt who has a longer stride length.
at the time Michael Johnson had the world record in the 200 and 400 so he easily had speed endurance and sprinting a 200 would be nothing for him but with bolt being a world record 100 and 200 sprinter ... im sure if bolt and Johnson were both in the same heat they would've pushed each other and both ran under 19sec in the 200
@@jasonhearn5818 In his youth Bolt was a 200m and 400m runner. He had to convince his coach that he was capable of competing in the 100m. His coach at the time thought him too tall to be a competitive 100m sprinter due to a slow sprint start.
Yeah, this is true, but, right to be said, Bolt has always ran the first 100m "forcing" his pace. I think he could've ran the second part of a 200m dash in less than 9.2" with a curve covered in 10" flat. 9.92" + 9.27" is quite inhuman.
Watching Michael Johnson's face as Bolt broke the record was really something. He also said that he would go as far as to say the person who broke 19.19 hasn't been born yet. Ten years on....I wonder if they've been born?
Absolutely they've been born. In either 8 or 12 years it will be broken. Wouldn't surprise me if from Nigeria. They still haven't heard of birth control over there, with the average woman still having 6 kids.
Charles Martel : Please be cognizant of the fact that no whites can beat no black person in a fair race and under fair circumstances!!! NONE!!! Furthermore no white man can beat Usain Bolt, this is totally impossible and I make no apology!! Look at all the Olympic Games over the years...black persons always win, whether running for Britain, France, Germany, USA or any other country!! Only time black athletes got recognition in any of these aforementioned white man’s country is in sports. Before the Olympic games or other athletic events they are all second class citizens, ostracized and belittled because of their skin colour. Then suddenly at world events they are referred to as Americans, French, Germans etc....after all these they go back to discrimination and racial prejudice just like after the Vietnam war when they returned to the USA!!
One main factor that you all miss. Usain as a junior at the age of fifteen in his first year of doing track broke the junior record with a time of 19.9. This achievement would foretell that he will be a great athlete. Highlight to me any of the greats that have been showcased if they have this accomplishment. Secondly Usain have a back injury that he cannot aggravate, this lessen his training time and overly exhausted himself hence why he retires early and not able to carry out intensive training. Thirdly Usain is the most sought after track athlete ever for endorsement, advertisement, PR and you name it, no other track athlete have this. With these commitments his training time will be imposed on. With all of these challenges that he overcame he did remarkable and should be noted as the best.
Watching MJ get that record in 96 is something I will never 4get. I thought that record would stand for at least 20+ yrs. He ran so fast but 12 yrs later Usain Bolt claimed it. All great runners.
@@JesusChristIsLord777. In fact, he has. And it has effected his training badly and from his interview and autobiography he hated training so much. He also felt his left stride is longer than his right stride. If he ran more symmetrically like any other normal athlete I believe he can ran faster. But how much faster? We will never know that.
I'm 36 years of age. IF the 200m WR is to get broken, I really hope I'm alive to witness it. Because whoever breaks Bolt's ridiculous time has to be a freak of nature and something quite extraordinary.
I’m yet to see a sprinter with potential to challenge 19.19 .. yohan went pretty close in his prime, had he reacted quicker it would have been equalled or slightly beaten
So we gonna ignore that guy that got disqualified because of his swayed shoe that supposingly damages the track... That a sick reason for dismissing someone effort
I would love to see a 200 race with the following runners in their prime under the same modern training and shoes: Henry Carr, Tommy Smith, John Carlos, Michael Johnson and Usain Bolt.
@@sfacco When I read in a newspaper back then, I was surprised that a white sprinter could break WR which was dominated by black sprinters. Valery Borzov of USSR won gold in 200m as well as 100m at Munich Olympic 1972, but not that fast. I wanted Lewis to break that record; also Joe Deloach at Seoul Olympic 1988 who clocked a good time : 19.75 beating Lewis in the final. It's close to Mennea's WR. Therefore, Pietro Mennea deserves to be part of the history.
I wonder if Blake's .269 reaction time keeps him up at night. Elite sprinters regularly get .14 -.15 second reactions. His time would have been 19.14 if he wasn't asleep at the blocks.
Check out some the records from the 1968 Team. The Long jump record chased by Carl Lewis and 400 record broken by Johnson were both from 1968. That team was tough!
Including 100m that belonged to Jim Hines. Carl Lewis chased those 3 WRs : 100m, 200m and long jump, got close to all, but eventually succeeded in 100m at Tokyo WC 1991 with 9.86 which was previously owned by Calvin Smith. Mike Powell's WR (8.95) that broke Bob Beamon's WR long jump seems to stay longer. Powell 's WR was also set at Tokyo WC 1991. Nowadays, very rarely to see someone reach 8.60m.
I just came back here for a certain part of the video but then I forgot about that and ended up watching the whole video again because its soo well made and a part of my memories
Sachin Dennis is probably the biggest threat in the next 10 years or so out of everyone we know about. But idk if even he can break Bolt's records. Guess we'll just have to wait and see
TrollBean see I have seen several numbers given for this. All between 10.11-10.14.. ridiculously fast considering his 100m PR was 10.09 (definitely could’ve been a sub10 man had he raced the distance in 1996 IMHO)
Drew, that's not what NLS is referring to. They're mentioning how close the FIRST 100m of the 200m race is to his PB in a 100m race. Both of these races and metrics being referenced are from a "dead start". With that stated, I'd argue that the mechanics of running a curved 100m (beginning of the 200m) are different than a 100m open - straight. It is possible to angle your run to actually run technically less than a full 100m by either running closer to the center throughout, or swinging closer later but before the straight comes up. Yet, some runners, ahem, Wallace Spearmon, struggle with the curves to a degree that it actually gives them a disadvantage. My bet is that Michael Johnson (the guy with a 10.09 PB) is not at a disadvantage at the least, on curves seeing as though he's not a long and tall stride kind of guy. Nonetheless, it's impressive that he pulled that off in a longer race. He probably, in theory, should have a sub-10 on the books.
Yeah, you see what happened to Mike Johnson when he raced Donovan Bailey...lol. Bob Costas ignorantly compared Johnson's last 100 meters time of his 200 meter event to Bailey's 100 meter time in his 100 meter event. Since Johnson was at full speed compared to Bailey coming out of the blocks.
It's interesting that Johnson would've been closing Bolt down if the 1996 and 2008 records were ran together. You usually Bolt pulling away. What a race that would've been
If Bolt had failed to break his own record in 2009 just because he recently overtook MJ's record, he would have lost it to Yohan Lake who ran impressive 19.26!! Freaks of nature.. Bolt means Speed!! GOAT of 100metres and 200m
I would think so, as when you think about it. Indoor 200m times are slower than 200m outdoor times and they have 2 bends which are tighter. So it's like the less bends and the less tighter they are, the quicker
My fastest time was around a bend. So think it has to do how you feel on the day, body and bunch of other factors. However this will certainly not be the case for everyone as everyone physiology is not completely the same.
Sorry - Smith and Carlos said it wasnt a Black Panther Salute but a "Human Rights Salute". Both athletes were opposed to violence and internal terror. Both athletes including Norman the Australian runner were discriminated against afterwards. Norman was unoffically banned for competing in the 1972 Olympics even though he qualified 22 times and set a new national record. It was a black pride salute.
Thanks for this informative video. One question, though. If the current Men's 100m WR is 9.58, how is it that so many of these 200m splits are faster than 9.58? I guess it's just that momentum builds up?
with a running start, you typically run the 100 meters about 0.7 seconds faster than if you were starting from a stationary position out of the blocks.
nothing against flo jo, but her 100m might have been wind aided and the 400m record could easily have been on steroids. germany had controversy with most there athletes at the time and flo jo set record on a windy day with faulty wind guage. the most legitimate of those records was probably flo jo 200m
@emi9870 Not that we know of even though every other Jamaican in the top 10 has had PED issues. It's not as if Jamaica had good anti doping standards. But yeah as of now he is not guilty.
@emi9870 No one is trying to discredit him. Stop over reacting! It's just facts. Plenty of PED users have been caught years after their retirement. No one is going to get to where he got. This record will last for a very very long time.
@emi9870 BS, I never said he has used PEDs. I'm simply pointing out that it is possible that his marks are the result of PED given the history of the sport and his fellow sportsman. You are trying to hard to accuse me of something I never said. Get over it!
@emi9870 Again, you have a reading comprehension problem. Where have I said he was accused of PEDs or that there is proof that he has used them? I have not and you have no proof that I did - SO END OF DISCUSSION!
@emi9870 Anyone with a brain would not read into it as you have. There was no original ARGUMENT. Hello! You jump in by responding to my post - saying that Bolt does not use PEDs when I never mentioned Bolt. I simply responded with these stated facts - NOT THAT WE KNOW OF and that AS OF NOW HE IS NOT GUILTY. Why do you have a problem with facts. You act as if you KNOW he did not. That's not a fact! And you just can't deal with these facts so you have to twist the meaning of my words. We can never say we know for a fact that he did not and as I said particularly given others facts I mentioned like - MANY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT AFTER THEY RETIRED, ALL OTHER JAMAICANS ON THE TOP 10 HAVE PED VIOLATIONS, AND JAMAICA DID NOT HAVE GOOD TESTING FACILITIES. ALL FACTS! Stop crying and deal with these truths man. Just because I point out the possibility under such facts does not mean that his greatness is in doubt or that he is guilty of such possibility. Get your head out of his ass. He may be just a very unique individual or - or not. Who knows - you don't! Until otherwise he is the GOAT. But we don't have to deny these facts in order to say that.
interesting to see that there's no huge difference between a record set in 1896 and today's Bolt record. we gained barely 3 seconds. comparing to swimming : the 100 freestyle went from 58 seconds (Johnny weissmuller 1922) to cielo's record today 46 seconds. there's no much room for improving as human I guess in sprinting.
I always felt if Usain did not look side ways or the clock while he was sprinting, he could have beaten this number. He always seemed to slow down a bit last 10m when he blew by everyone. If he can do 100m in 9.58, with full speed head start for second 100m and even with the fatique, this can be done!
in 1987 I ran 200mt in 17.65 in Olympic games (commodore 64). for those that will reply "there weren't 200mt but only 100mt in Olympic games" I reply that at that time I just reprogrammed the game to make this comment in 2020.
It is Yohan Blake who run the fastest 200m ever at 18.99s - which was the time of the actual run without the reaction time delay. Also, if he had had an average reaction time of 0.16s and not 0.26s, his time would've been 19.16s beating Bolt's record.
In the Olympics Andy Stanfield run a 20.81 which is worth at least a 20.6 Bobby Morrow ran 20.75 equal to 20.5 Livio berruti ran 20.62 equal to 20.4 Henry car run 20.36 equal to 20.1
200m seemed to have always been a fast race and it's impressive to think that a guy over hundred years could ran the distance with an extra metre in 21.2 and a guy 94 years ago in 21.0 with all the new technology and training methods the record has just managed to just 2 seconds and majority of guys almost all right now can't run a sub 19.50
Reaction time is PART of Sprinting. Could say that Bolt would’ve run even faster than 19.19 as it came at the end of rounds of the 200m (after the 100m too) and was run into a -0.3 wind
@@TheWayToWin what are you talking about?..as long as there is a wind gauge that is calibrated, and an accredited official, and electronic timing, then it gets ratified.
@@timn4481 Basically that 200m track isn't a standard track. Because the turn is wider it's easier to run quickly as the more of "turn" you run on the slower it is compared so say a straight 200m. There's a reason Blake didn't ever get close to them time on any other tracks.
The track coach and historian in me wishes Bolt wouldve sprinted through the line in London, 2012. He would've completely obliterated his own 200m WR had he NOT let up for the last 25 meters!
Ben Johnson was the fastest ever in the history! Banned from participating in competitions! If he was allowed to continue, he was capable to make unbreakable record of 08:50 seconds in the 100meters!
Yeah. Everyone conveniently leaves him out when talking about the 100m record. He had a 9.79 in 1988 and he was still improving. That wasn't equalled for like 12 years. He had a great start but not as good of a finish. Who knows what he could have accomplished if Canada was as dirty as the US.
I don’t think 9.58 and 19.19 will be broken in within the next 40 years. These records are the equivalent to Flo Jo’s marks in the 100/200m. Bolt & Flo Jo are just decades beyond the competition.
At 8:05 can someone explain. I don't understand. If he ran the second 100m in 9.32 shouldn't that be the world record instead of his 9.58 official world record? I know there is probably some sill small thing that my mind can't get over...I just need someone to clarify. Thanks

TrollBean see I have seen several numbers given for this. All between 10.11-10.14.. ridiculously fast considering his 100m PR was 10.09 (definitely could’ve been a sub10 man had he raced the distance in 1996 IMHO)
Difference in starting the 100 from a dead start and starting the 2nd 100 at full speed.
Drew, that's not what NLS is referring to. They're mentioning how close the FIRST 100m of the 200m race is to his PB in a 100m race. Both of these races and metrics being referenced are from a "dead start". With that stated, I'd argue that the mechanics of running a curved 100m (beginning of the 200m) are different than a 100m open - straight. It is possible to angle your run to actually run technically less than a full 100m by either running closer to the center throughout, or swinging closer later but before the straight comes up. Yet, some runners, ahem, Wallace Spearmon, struggle with the curves to a degree that it actually gives them a disadvantage. My bet is that Michael Johnson (the guy with a 10.09 PB) is not at a disadvantage at the least, on curves seeing as though he's not a long and tall stride kind of guy. Nonetheless, it's impressive that he pulled that off in a longer race. He probably, in theory, should have a sub-10 on the books.
@@deeja4909 I was talk talking about Trollbean's post.
Yeah, you see what happened to Mike Johnson when he raced Donovan Bailey...lol.
Bob Costas ignorantly compared Johnson's last 100 meters time of his 200 meter event to Bailey's 100 meter time in his 100 meter event. Since Johnson was at full speed compared to Bailey coming out of the blocks.
Blake ran last 100m in 9.12 !?!?
What a legendary sprint...
the last 100m in a 200m race is not from a standstill... unlike the 100m event.
@@terryallen660 Of course I know it, but it's still amazing.
Last 100m of Michael Johnson's 19.32 was 9.20.
Smith’s splits were 10.5/9.3.. IAAF World Record Progression list
Tommy Smith's 2nd split on the 200 straight was 9.3!!....that's insane.
Yeah I noticed that too. Dude was running in the future.
Nobody break 19.19 in a mighty mighty long time
SuperCake 22 bet

It's interesting that Johnson would've been closing Bolt down if the 1996 and 2008 records were ran together. You usually Bolt pulling away. What a race that would've been
If Bolt had failed to break his own record in 2009 just because he recently overtook MJ's record, he would have lost it to Yohan Lake who ran impressive 19.26!!
Freaks of nature..
Bolt means Speed!!
GOAT of 100metres and 200m
Would people run faster if it was just a straight line rather than including the curve?
sure, the curve takes a lot of energy. That is why running on the bend is a special skill.
some people do, not everyone.
I would think so, as when you think about it. Indoor 200m times are slower than 200m outdoor times and they have 2 bends which are tighter. So it's like the less bends and the less tighter they are, the quicker
some faster than others but yeah, it would be suprising if they ran slower
My fastest time was around a bend. So think it has to do how you feel on the day, body and bunch of other factors. However this will certainly not be the case for everyone as everyone physiology is not completely the same.
The reason he raised his hand was for the black panther party during the civil rights movement, not to show off his victory
Sorry - Smith and Carlos said it wasnt a Black Panther Salute but a "Human Rights Salute". Both athletes were opposed to violence and internal terror. Both athletes including Norman the Australian runner were discriminated against afterwards. Norman was unoffically banned for competing in the 1972 Olympics even though he qualified 22 times and set a new national record. It was a black pride salute.
Raymond Menz sorry
🤣🤣🤣
Top video.
What a difference the 60's made huh. Changed the whole game going forward.
Drugs
New tartan tracks
Good work..!!
Fun fact:Bolt ran faster when he ran the 19.19 200m then when he ran the 9.58 100m
Very interesting! Subscribed. Thanks
Thank you
holy shit bolt was doin magic out there🤔 even tho he looked relaxed
Thanks for this informative video. One question, though. If the current Men's 100m WR is 9.58, how is it that so many of these 200m splits are faster than 9.58? I guess it's just that momentum builds up?
with a running start, you typically run the 100 meters about 0.7 seconds faster than if you were starting from a stationary position out of the blocks.
The most difficult records to break are women 100m, 200m and 400m. Those records are insane.
Especially the 400. No woman will EVER break that record
nothing against flo jo, but her 100m might have been wind aided and the 400m record could easily have been on steroids. germany had controversy with most there athletes at the time and flo jo set record on a windy day with faulty wind guage. the most legitimate of those records was probably flo jo 200m
@Chakka Boola im questioning the legitimacy of all 3, im just saying that there is also controversy over the wind reading on that 10.49
The athletes keep getting bigger.
It's amazing that in all that time only 1.81 seconds has been taken off with training techniques, synthetic tracks, and PEDs.
@emi9870 Not that we know of even though every other Jamaican in the top 10 has had PED issues. It's not as if Jamaica had good anti doping standards. But yeah as of now he is not guilty.
@emi9870 No one is trying to discredit him. Stop over reacting! It's just facts. Plenty of PED users have been caught years after their retirement. No one is going to get to where he got. This record will last for a very very long time.
@emi9870 BS, I never said he has used PEDs. I'm simply pointing out that it is possible that his marks are the result of PED given the history of the sport and his fellow sportsman. You are trying to hard to accuse me of something I never said. Get over it!
@emi9870 Again, you have a reading comprehension problem. Where have I said he was accused of PEDs or that there is proof that he has used them? I have not and you have no proof that I did - SO END OF DISCUSSION!
@emi9870 Anyone with a brain would not read into it as you have. There was no original ARGUMENT. Hello! You jump in by responding to my post - saying that Bolt does not use PEDs when I never mentioned Bolt. I simply responded with these stated facts - NOT THAT WE KNOW OF and that AS OF NOW HE IS NOT GUILTY. Why do you have a problem with facts. You act as if you KNOW he did not. That's not a fact! And you just can't deal with these facts so you have to twist the meaning of my words. We can never say we know for a fact that he did not and as I said particularly given others facts I mentioned like - MANY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT AFTER THEY RETIRED, ALL OTHER JAMAICANS ON THE TOP 10 HAVE PED VIOLATIONS, AND JAMAICA DID NOT HAVE GOOD TESTING FACILITIES. ALL FACTS! Stop crying and deal with these truths man. Just because I point out the possibility under such facts does not mean that his greatness is in doubt or that he is guilty of such possibility. Get your head out of his ass. He may be just a very unique individual or - or not. Who knows - you don't! Until otherwise he is the GOAT. But we don't have to deny these facts in order to say that.
interesting to see that there's no huge difference between a record set in 1896 and today's Bolt record. we gained barely 3 seconds. comparing to swimming : the 100 freestyle went from 58 seconds (Johnny weissmuller 1922) to cielo's record today 46 seconds. there's no much room for improving as human I guess in sprinting.
Thanks
2:05 that’s very fast 👏
How nice explanation ❤️
Mad how lots of records,the winner stumbles out the blocks
if bolt did not play at the finish line, his records wpould be unbeatable, he knew so he is giving future runners a chance
So excluding reaction time Blake ran the fastest 200m ever
yes
Didn't the track that he ran on have less of a bend which may have given him an advantage?
The modern olympic games in Greece were held in 1896 not 1900
I always felt if Usain did not look side ways or the clock while he was sprinting, he could have beaten this number. He always seemed to slow down a bit last 10m when he blew by everyone. If he can do 100m in 9.58, with full speed head start for second 100m and even with the fatique, this can be done!
Records are there to be broken. Its only a matter of time. The long jump record of Mike Powell though seems the hardest to get.
Hey.. I enjoy your videos, can you do the evolution of the 100m. Please and thank you🇿🇦👍🏼
yes, thank you
I can run 200m in 18'49"... I just CHOSE to stay in the sofa watching videos and eating Cheetos
in 1987 I ran 200mt in 17.65 in Olympic games (commodore 64). for those that will reply "there weren't 200mt but only 100mt in Olympic games" I reply that at that time I just reprogrammed the game to make this comment in 2020.
It is Yohan Blake who run the fastest 200m ever at 18.99s - which was the time of the actual run without the reaction time delay.
Also, if he had had an average reaction time of 0.16s and not 0.26s, his time would've been 19.16s beating Bolt's record.
The bend that Blake ran was not as curved as bolts
really tried to hit that 10 minute mark
Are their any up and coming juniors that might be able to challenge bolts record in the 100 or 200?
Bolt's 200m Wr is virtually impossible to beat, unless he comes out of retirement.
Only he can beat his own records because he keep getting better and better
I was going through the comments and almost forgot to like the video
This is first time I know that 2nd 100 m is faster than the first one in The 200 m @10:19
Mennea and Berruti, italu's greatests athletes
That fast
Had Bob Hayes ran on today's tracks using today's running shoes, then everything may have been quite different in the 100 meters.
Great Mennea 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
In the Olympics Andy Stanfield run a 20.81 which is worth at least a 20.6 Bobby Morrow ran 20.75 equal to 20.5 Livio berruti ran 20.62 equal to 20.4 Henry car run 20.36 equal to 20.1
what is exactly "prime"? can we see the science?
I'm coming,, and I'm waiting
200m seemed to have always been a fast race and it's impressive to think that a guy over hundred years could ran the distance with an extra metre in 21.2 and a guy 94 years ago in 21.0 with all the new technology and training methods the record has just managed to just 2 seconds and majority of guys almost all right now can't run a sub 19.50
Michael Johnson is the GOAT
Peace...love...unity
What this actually tells you is Michael Johnson was faster than Usain in full flow... Staggering!
Usain bolt is the sprinter of both 100 meters and 200 meters .his carriar of runing is un believable and for ever
Very very nice
It hurts that Yohan didn't break the world record in that race. Because he had it in him, it was something he had control over.
the stadium there was much wider, so the record would probably not be ratified
Reaction time is PART of Sprinting. Could say that Bolt would’ve run even faster than 19.19 as it came at the end of rounds of the 200m (after the 100m too) and was run into a -0.3 wind
@@nsxperformance That's why I SPECIFICALLY said that it was something he had control over and he screwed it up.
@@TheWayToWin what are you talking about?..as long as there is a wind gauge that is calibrated, and an accredited official, and electronic timing, then it gets ratified.
@@timn4481 Basically that 200m track isn't a standard track. Because the turn is wider it's easier to run quickly as the more of "turn" you run on the slower it is compared so say a straight 200m. There's a reason Blake didn't ever get close to them time on any other tracks.
Mike Marsh was 10.19, 14.81, 19.73 dor anyone interested.. threw away 19.68-19.70ish for sure with the ease off
yes he did. i remember watching it as it happened. he was on fire that day.
he eased off but even then, he said he didnt even feel close to running his fastest and thats why his 19.73 was so surprising
*The Day what can gain at Lap or 2nd Half of 100m in 100m 9.2-9.27 in 100m and 18.5- 19.18 200m is achivable as sats says*
The track coach and historian in me wishes Bolt wouldve sprinted through the line in London, 2012. He would've completely obliterated his own 200m WR had he NOT let up for the last 25 meters!
19.19 sec will never be equalled or broken...
Records are always broken. Give it time.
*Leaping at Final Stride, now most athleates do with a Risk of Geting Injured Possible Way*
That record isn’t breaking in our lifetime
Records were meant to be broke but Bolt's 200m rec will stand forever
it will fall first among sprint world records
Ben Johnson was the fastest ever in the history!
Banned from participating in competitions!
If he was allowed to continue, he was capable to make unbreakable record of 08:50 seconds in the 100meters!
Yeah. Everyone conveniently leaves him out when talking about the 100m record. He had a 9.79 in 1988 and he was still improving. That wasn't equalled for like 12 years. He had a great start but not as good of a finish. Who knows what he could have accomplished if Canada was as dirty as the US.
What's the song at 10:02 ?
What is your outro music?
Burn it axollo
I don’t think 9.58 and 19.19 will be broken in within the next 40 years. These records are the equivalent to Flo Jo’s marks in the 100/200m. Bolt & Flo Jo are just decades beyond the competition.
They said the same thing about Michael johnsons 200m and 400m and look how that turned out
Do a video on longest track&field records yet to be broken
Thanks for a great idea. We will.
Bolts 100m record is 9.58 so if he ran that on a 200m as his first run, then 9.20 on the 2nd 100m. it would be 18.78 sec
Bolts records are going to stand for a long time, IMHO
Wrong
@@TheWayToWin right
At the moment the only person I can see getting there is erriyon knighton
@@TheWayToWin no one is getting close to his 100m record. Only possibly the 200
At 8:05 can someone explain. I don't understand. If he ran the second 100m in 9.32 shouldn't that be the world record instead of his 9.58 official world record? I know there is probably some sill small thing that my mind can't get over...I just need someone to clarify. Thanks
I agree.
