+Keith C. ikr! and look how long it took the other final leg runners to pass him while he was jogging and cheering on Asafa lool The man is just great!
i personally believe that bolt would have gotten at least under 9.53 if he didnt showboat near the end. he could've finished very strongly. who knows what he would've gotten
chris bassani Well Usain averaged 2.44m per stride, and by the time he started celebrating to the finish line, as well as his deceleration right before, was about 8 and a half strides. That's roughly 20m. If he went balls to the walls in the last 20m and then some just in case, he definitely could have gotten an increased time of .09.
yeah seeing the way he's ran especially in the world championships in berlin he didnt lean in the end so it might reveal his purpose to continually beat it rather than absolutely crush it once. but again he might just be getting better overall. either way, he's ran the fastest races in human history that we know of
He would have ran into asafa's back. He is the WR holder in 200M as well. So he if he continued, I think they might have actually taken milliseconds less than they did with asafa.
Kaisuke971 oh lol that's his normal style he use to do it in high school.I competed against him a few times then we would make him not to beat us too bad. Even though i was in a higher race class due to age he still was too fast for us the older ones
Lolololololol!! I was laughing my ass off when I saw Bolt casually strolling down the track while others desperately trying to get to the finish line. Great stuff.
People, help me. I want to create TH-cam and upload the Quran and the hadiths and the teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when it is good for us.
I love how bolt celebrates by jogging at the last second while everyone else were running for their lives. Plus, Asafa Powell runs like a mad man. Truly Amazing.
+Thomas Williams The relay team said before the race that they all wanted to win it for Asafa. He was the "old veteran" on that squad, the one they all looked up to and emulated.
It is, but the talent underpins it all. Without his stratospheric natural ability it wouldn't happen, no matter the hours put in and time spent. There's a common fallacy where people think if they work hard enough at it they can hit the top. A recent survey in the UK, reputedly a full quarter of people asked thought that if they started training for something now, they could make the Olympics in LA. How wrong they are......
Its hard to believe its been 16 years already. I remember watching it like it was yesterday!! Often wish he hadn't celebrated, would have probably ran closer to 9.5 flat, What a legend!!
Oh come on, sport is one of the earliest forms of theatre. So what if Usain is a little bit of a show-off. He still wins AND he gets the crowd going. He knows how to entertain.
He looked like he was running for dear life! I've never seen anyone run that fast either. Just shows how talented Asafa was in his PRIME. His top speed must've reached 30mph no doubt.
@@kaioken6442 Relays don't count in the fastest man debate. The fastest top end speed ever recorded in sprinting is Usain Bolt's 9.69 run where he achieved a 29.7mph speed. But Asafa's home stretch is close if not faster than that.
Everyone may not like Bolt's style but he came with a talent and a swag that took over not only track & field but the whole world of sports. That's what he did. Amazing thing for a little country youth from Trelawny, Jamaica.
i got a feeeling during the last 4X100m after bolt passes the baton if he keeps on running he might just be right behind asafa and infront of all others XD
@@leroyvermilion7708 I'm telling u that is a lie Trust. Celebrating before crossing the line always cost a lot of time we talking tenth of a second here.
Breaking world records is never easy in track and field but doing so at the Olympics or the World Championships is even harder due to the number of qualifying rounds one has to run before the final. In 2009, Bolt ran 8 races in 6 days in his 3 events. Thus, making his achievements even more memorable and legendary.
in my opinion, right now. i believe the top 3 sprinting nations are, in order, Jamaica, USA, and Trinidad and Tobago. i know Canada and Britain are great but on the biggest stages over the past few years these nations i thought excelled the most. but if i missed any meets where my knowledge may be invalid please be free to inform me. im from the US, and i have a great respect for Trinidad and Jamaica considering i am also a track athlete. i love watching these nations run especially against each other whether it be a relay or individual.
16 years later and I still get goosebumps watching Bolt hand over to Powell with him basically shouting and indicating we got this gold and then watching him jog all the way to the end.. What an era! So glad I got to experience it!
Bolt's ran faster and better races but ths 100m is the one for me he will eternally be remembered for. A world record is the peak of human achievement. People push themselves to stupid limits to try and break them. Not only did this guy broke the WR at the time, he did it celebrating well before the end while the others, the other 7 fastest men in the world are breaking themselves in half chasing after him. Crazy.

chris bassani I know right! And I don't know if he'll be able to break that again! he might've even gotten sub 9.5....
SirFancyPants21 I think sub 9.5 would be a bit extreme but i would say 9.53
when you think about it; 9.5 and 9.53 are quite far off
chris bassani Well Usain averaged 2.44m per stride, and by the time he started celebrating to the finish line, as well as his deceleration right before, was about 8 and a half strides. That's roughly 20m. If he went balls to the walls in the last 20m and then some just in case, he definitely could have gotten an increased time of .09.
