- "The 100m world record is unbeatable for a long time but I think Usain Bolt could've run 18 seconds over 200m. So the 200m record [19.19] is easier to challenge."
An interview with Olympic and double world relay champion Asafa Powell.
- Why Noah Lyles could break the world 200m record

2009. Bolt had that car crash that took him out for three weeks. Without that he goes 18.9.
Smart man
Smart man
was there ever conspiracy theory around that?
100%
I didn't know that! That would also upset your rhythm and if you had momentum going up to that point it would be disturbed! WOW. That's an amazing fact.
Asafa Powell.. one of the fastest men ever. You should have a son to continue your legacy
He has two AFAIK
2006-2015, a real golden era of sprinting 🏃♂️
Very laid back man one of the greatest ever
Asafa on point with his analysis
You need to sort the sound out on this channel.
Great interview.
I’ve been saying this…what if he had a spike like a max fly as well?
Асафа чудовий спринтер, легенда. В часи коли я займався спринтом, всі ми рівнялися на нього.
We are spoiled these guys these days can hardly go under 10s flat
Me too! He was hurt in 2009. Imagine if he would have had trained properly and didn't get into the accident...
Great interview 🎉
3:51 talking about if anyone can challenge 1 and 200m records, and Usain.
Nuff respect asafa , and likewise you too could have went below 9.72, we all know fam. Thumbs up
My fav JAM sprinter ⚡️⚡️
Respect to ASAFA fi say this cauz....
Di World know without a doubt that both records could have been lower had BOLT just ran all out.
Even more so for the 100m.
Well put, with all humbleness and love for your field.
This is one of the greatest of all time, and there are only 6.9k views currently after 7 days. Track has a problem, and I blame track administrators.
Completely agree, the 200m could possibly be broken within the next few years while the 100 is gonna take a lot longer...
Not gonna happen 😫 Usain Bolt record is permanent member I told you first
@@ashleybrown3305 its probably not gonna happen, but its a lot more realistic then the 100m record
I agree with him wholeheartedly
Bolt couldve ran faster than his 9.58 100m too. he was so good that he didnt really have to train his butt off to win or break WRs. its hard to put in the work beyond what's needed to earn the big $. His first ever competitive 100m he ran 10.03 then didnt run it again for a year. the following year he laid down a 10.03 again, followed by a 9.76 then a 9.72...then a few weks later he cruised to a 9.69...he also ran a 9.77 INTO A STIFF HEADWIND 2 weeks after his 9.69..turn that wind around and he was already in low 9.6x territory in 2008.. he already knew no one could touch him.
so he gave the world a 9.58 then really just cruised the rest of his career. a few weeks of training here and there but he never really put it in for months on end like the rest of the pros. he was still snacking on chicken mcnuggets and partying at night even when he ran his WRs.. so yeah he couldve gone sub 19 in the 200m for similar reasons...and probably a 9.50 100..
10.03 to 9.7 is massive jump 👀👀
Я думаю, що Асафа показував би ще більш феноменальні результати якби мав більшу емоційну стійкість. Під час своїх найвідповідальніших забігів він дуже нервував та виглядав зковано. Саме тому він їх програвав. Свої кращі результати він показував у меньш відповідальних змаганнях. Дуже добра та скромна людина і великий спринтер.
Nobody is beating Usain Bolt's 100- or 200-meter WR. Those times are not normal, you have to be special in all areas of sprinting and conditioning.
18.99 will the new WR in a few yrs
Maybe tebogo
It is possible with technology. Think of things that were illegal that became legal. Some of these drugs that are not legal now may become legal just so they can break Usain Bolt record. We see the corruption in the world.
I made that comment on the 19.19 run, near the end of the run his fitness level appeared to weaken, i felt if he had higher fitness that sub 19.00 would be possible.
We all know if Mr.Bolt could have run faster if he focus on the finish line are something a lil beyond ..the time it took to look left n right n pump your chest ..like come on 100m bolt could’ve run 9:50 -200m 19:00
Asafa Powell should have ran 200m when he was competing i think it would help him in the 100m. His main rivals Bolt, Gay, Blake, and Gatlin all ran 200m throughout their carrers and they had great success in both events the last 30m Asafa would tighten up under pressure he lacked speed endurance and top end speed.
He did but according to him that event cause some injuries because of how he ran the curve.
Bolt didn’t work that hard. He didn’t reach his full potential because he was only running against the clock.
Usain Bolt was /is the worst athlete ever, may be used unfair means, actually he could not even run 18 second for 100 m
lol
Really ? 😂
Would absolutely love to see your proof in regards to "unfair means" But I just realized something, you don't have any 😂😂😂
congrats on 4 replies you did it john! So proud seeing you grow as a toddler in 2022 to now :)
