Usain Bolt wins the final of the men's 200m at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Yohan Blake and Warren Weir finished second and third respectively as Jamaica win gold, silver and bronze in the event.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men. =========================================

Yohan Blake deserves an Olympic gold in 100m and 200m. But sadly, he was in Bolt's era
Facts
Exactly
Yes sure
bro was born at the wrong time
Thats what makes bolt the GOAT because he wasn't just the champion, but he was beating the best of the best
Every Olympic event should include one average person competing for reference.
I AGREE!
Thats just esteem-crushing to the “reference” 😂😂
yes HAHAHAHAHA
Thats actually so smart
Hlogi Ngema I agree 100%. Then people can see just how fast these guys really are
yohan blake is the most underrated athlete in the history
Facts.
And it hurts.
He's no way less than Usain Bolt. Just a few seconds apart.
@@philliprobinson7736 few seconds?? You mean a few hundredth of a second 😭
@talented human If Gatlin didn't have a ban in his prime who knows what could have happened.
@@chamindujanith6337 well not that much since he wouldn't have been doping
@@K.TH-cam2 Gatlin ran a 9.77 in 2006 I think before his suspension. And he was sabotaged. He never doped. Why on earth would he dope in 2006? That was an off year.
Yohan Blake is one of the most shadowed athletic ever. Feel for him.
bolt is such a cool name for a sprinter
ikr
+cachorro it's like he was scripted for it
ikr yes
must be destiny
thruthseeker89 for life he sounds like he named himself when he was 5 years old
This race is a testament to Glen Mills skill. Imagine having all 3 medals coming from not just the same country but the same training camp/coach!

@@cattycats4Go cry,you salty Americans 🤣🤣💀
Truly incredible
I’m grateful for Athletes like Blake they made sure we get the best of Bolt
Yep. Athletes like blake made bolt ran harder. If not, he won't even try and just jog everywhere 😆
On the contrary, if Bolt wasn't around would you think Blake would have tried as hard to try and beat him? Look at the last olympic, they should be excelling trying to prove to people that they are still the best but it seems as though all Jamaican Sprinters have lost all that fighting spirit after Bolt retired.

Really good,you guys are amazing.
hi
So true
Likkle but we tallawah😘
Warren Weir made me so Happy. He really worked hard, and really wanted to be on that podium with his team mates. Awesome.
Incredible how thousands of people could be so quiet at the same time. Respect
Yess
Can u imagine running in a race where ur trying to get the bronze only to find out in the end there's another Jamaican in the race and he got it, man that must be hard.
This comment was brilliant.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

All coach by the same man
@@johnpaulrichardmuller2560 because it is funny?
This is arguably the greatest 200m of all time.
Inquestionably
It is between this and 2009 WR race
Mexico City 1968 was a great race too. Times were phenomenal for that era.
@@afrobuddy4801 this one, the 2 fastest in the history.
@@franciscoespejo767 in terms of time this isnt the second fastest. its tied for the 4th
It must be an unbelievable feeling to know that out of over 7 billion people you are undoubtedly THE fastest person on the planet!
Of the history.
This is the Greatest 200m finals I have ever seen. I was impressed with how yohan Blake got so close to Bolt. He was just a fraction behind Bolt.
He was bcz bolt slowed down and waited for him then once he ciaght up bolt went away again and still slowed down putting his finger over his lips for silence bfore he crossed the line ...watch again
@@ryangreen5462bolt had injury before olympics so he didn't run full speed the 200m straight just enough that he wins he didn't need to risk it. If he would went full speed he would been very close the wr too bad blake didn't push bolt more. Blake should run his 19.26s here. That would pushed bolt to run 19.20s or under.
3 Jamaicans, 3 totally different physiques
KoolKaiser One coach lol
***** I'd stay away Jamaica in an apocalypse so if an ordinary jamaican runs that fast.....
+AllenTV all 3 jamaicans in top 3

"Usain bolt is absolutely flying around the straight" still gives me goose bumps

Me too.
I swear; the reason i replayed this Video and also the pushups, queen wave and finger on the lip.
This will forever be an *iconic* race *Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🥇🥈🥉*
2020 and am still here watching the great legend. Put a like if u miss him as much as me. One love.
He will never be forgotten.
Now waiting for July 2021
I love Bolt he is my grandson my brother my son all in my head .I watch him every day it brings me such joy especially in this Covit time.Grandma PH
Yohan Blake is impressive : he nearly did it
Nope bolt slowed down slightly and then speeded up whem blake was catching. Bolt gad back pain so he played it safe.
I actually think he slows down deliberately, which would really upset me if true.
@@brendajackson13 😆😆 it lookd like he did which is annoying
@@brendajackson13
he does it purposefully. it is strategy in 200m. they sprint the first 100m then in the last 100m they run at 90-95% of their full power to be able to maintain till they reach about 180-190m then they slow down at end.
if they tried to sprint from the beginning to end they would get exhausted at 120-150m and would slow down tremendously.
@@brendajackson13 dude he already had momentum going so it doesn't matter if he slowed
Warren was running for his dear life I swear
Spearman was running for dear life desperate for a medal.
He's such a promising guy
carol Nyongesa lol he doesn’t run anymore
Yf 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that race made him famous 😭😭😭
@@melancholy5980
To get
Gold era of Jamaica 🇯🇲
if blake wasn't in the same era as bolt, he would be just as dominate
yep... it's just unfortunate that Blake was in the same era as Bolt, otherwise, he would have swept gold in at least 2 Olympics with ease. It's unfortunate that he got injured just as Bolt retired, else he would have cleaned up at Tokyo.
True
No he wouldn't cause the Injuries would hit like it does.....3-4 years dominance that is while Bolt is 9-10 years.
@@alexreid2365 Blake only got injured because he was pushing his body way past its limit in order to beat bolt. If he was in a different era, he wouldn't have to push as hard

I can't be the only one that feels kinda bad for Blake. Ran a 19.44 and still wasn't enough
Cause winner ran 19,32s. Blake 19,44s would win him every other 200m after that race thought. Arguably bolt would ran some of his times faster if pushed that hard. I think bolt would still won 200m in 2013 and 2015 but lost 2016 olympic when he was too tired.
@@pena380 he didn’t lost in 2016
@@user-jd6kc4of3s would lost if blake would been 19,44s form bolt was tired in that race.
He must runs 19.2 to winning Gold medal.
@@jamrats9441 19,1s bolt would not slowed down if blake would gone faster.
For the first time since 2004 men can now dream to win Gold in 100m and 200 m in Tokyo Olympics .
this year a canadian won gold with a 19.62 spring time lmaoooooooooo
London was the best Olympics in recent times. May be the best ever.
Nope
Barcelona Olympic Games was way better.
man, do people really realize just how great Yohan Blake's 19.44 time is? it sucks having Bolt around, feel bad for Blake/Gay/Gatlin/Powell.
Blake a dam beast too & this wasn't his fastest time..19.26 was his fastest ever..Bolt 19.19 Blake 19.26..Blake be right with Bolt ass
2KILLAVILLE - Yohan ran that 19.26 time into a + headwind. Bolt ran his 19.19 into a - headwind. If Bolt would have had that headwind at Berlin in 09, he could have ran 19.0X-18.9X as crazy as that sounds and he did that after 4 rounds of the 100m and 3 rounds of the 200m to get to the final. Wind matters in track and field and is often over looked when people are comparing times. Just a little insight. Both times are impressive nontheless.
2KILLAVILLE you know what's funny about that run? Blake had a slow reaction time during his start, something like .217 seconds or something. I he had reacted just .08 seconds faster, which sprinters do all the time, he would've broke bolts world record if he had just gotten a slightly faster start.
I was very disappointed to see Powell not on the relay team
Powell just isn't that fast anymore compared to other sprinters anyways
Britain has the best crowd ever! Awesome reception and vibes :)
Wallace Spearmon pounds his chest screaming “let’s go let’s go, my time baby”! Jamaica’s 3rd place finisher says, “you mean you’re aiming for 4th…”?!?!😇🇯🇲
You’re funny🤣😂
Bro, I didn't even realise this over the years I've been watching this race, HE SLOWED DOWN AND STILL RAN 19.32 to show Blake we was the best, what a guy💥
A 19.44 time for a sprinter of Blake characteristics and height is absolutely incredible!
He's such an amazing sprinter too.
Not even his fastest time either
@@ep.1646taking account the track it's just behind his 19.26s that track gives 0,18s advantage with wider bend which leaves more energy for straight.
9 minute video for a 20 second race
certainly worth it - could have been longer
jj
I love it
Don't hate... Could be 5 minutes it'd still be worth it🙌
+Avensol: Yup, you see the stadium that night...!!?! Show me any other sporting event for this short duration that garners this attention... And just think, it was ALL FOR BASICALLY 2 GUYS: Blake + Bolt👏👏👏
The men's sprinting at the 2012 London Olympics will likely go down as the greatest in history of world athletics.
Absolutely
Agree.
Clean sweep..... by Jamaica!!✌
What a showman Bolt is...😁
Blake the Beast....was superb too!👍👏👏
Blake, for his size, did an amazing job catching up with Bolt at the last 50m.
being small is better...
@@camart8045 Just quit watching sport. Please.
@@standardv should he though really? You guys think usa never tried tall guys out before in track and field. Grow up.
@@standardv The only advantage in sprinting that has any relevance to height is the first 10m. Shorter people generally have greater relative strength due to their smaller levers and therefore better starters. The rest of the race, there is no advantage either way.
Bold jogged in end he couls of gt world record
At the end bolt purposely slower his pace, what a man he still number 1.
Who still watching 2020 during covid 19, Bolt the greatest!!💚
2021 and watched.
Its incredible how Bolt would win theses races at will, he could speed up just enough to win comfortably and then slow down again lol 😭
That's why people should realize that as fast as Yohan is; he's really not on Bolt's level.
bolt could've broke his own record if he didn't slow down at the end 😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations to coach Glen Mills! The incredible and industrious coach for our three champions! Keep making your country proud and continue to nurture the young and upcoming Jamaican talents.
Bolt runs so beautifully his strides are so pretty 😍
Incredible race by the Jamaicans. So much talent on one small island. Strong presence anywhere we go 🔥🔥🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Jamaica for 1, 2 and 3! What is the point of even competing ? Just give them the medal.
They need to know in which order..lol
lol i agree, or just judge buy season best times
UyemaHD
UyemaHD
I agree
the problem with the world is it only remebers the winner or no1 .. doesnt matter even if no 2 is just a 5 millisecond less that the first ... salute to yohan blake
Bolt is the best thing ever happen to athlethics! He was born to win! Injuries caused him to lose his last race! Bravo to our #1 of all times Usain Bolt!!!!
This commentator is legend. I can never forget, "He is immortal now!" I don't even know his name but who can miss his voice and energy?
Does anyone know this commentators name?
When bolt is on the Track everyone else battle for Second 😂😂😂
I mean blake was approaching first place
It is official if your running against bolt always target second or third becuase if u target first u will always be disappointed.
gatlin and coleman both beat him in his last race lol
@Dimitrelos300 8*** and it doesnt change the fact that he was beaten. Obviously doesn't take away from the fact that he was the greatest sprinter ever.
@@milithdheerasekara6957 think you mean is
@@milithdheerasekara6957 until both his records are broken he is the greatest
@@danielgayle8180 sadly bolt was injured before olympic 2012 and was still cabable broking his own records with perfect run so what could he done being 100% fit. Probably under 19s and under 9,5s in those races.
Bolt is one of the greatest athletes who ever lived. His 100 and 200 records will take a superhuman effort to beat. I could see both standing for 50 years or longer.
I think you have to say that he is the Greatest of All Time!
Yohan Blake was so underrated
wow... nations are biger can't win to Jamaica... like USA for example... I'm happy for this country... congratulations from Mexico
I'm exhausted just watching 😂
Lol u made my day

Natalie Renee hiii
really now
Natalie Renee Can you Help me plz?
Blake was in for cash baby. I love this dude!
What I truly love about this video apart from the running is how the Jamaican athletes. We’re so supported of each other ❤️
going into rio, looking back at bolt, and what he's been doing on the field, people should really stop doubting the man. he has proven time and again he is number one and will deliver when it really matters. if anyone this day is doubting him and even thinks gatlin or anyone else will beat him at rio, please think again because we are about to witness the great man show greatness, once again. I'm telling you right here right now he is winning both the 100, 200 meters AND the 4x100 relay. Remember, I told you on here first. See you in Rio.
4x100m you mean
Hahaa yeah I meant that, thanx
***** no he ain't gonna make it to Tokyo I think he's made that clear. Hanging his spikes after rio but then again you never know he do a shocking return. Would be great.
He's retiring after the world championships in London.
I hope he does manage to win some medals, but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't. He is getting on a bit and, if I'm not mistaken, will be returning from injury.
I really hope Blake is on form as well this year: I'd much rather he was Bolt's closest competitor than Gatlin.
I remember watching the whole Olympics with my family that year and we all screamed for the whole race and jumped about when they got 1, 2, 3.. we are from Barbados but we cheer for Jamaica cause there is literally only like 5 bajan qualifiers
Thank you my Bajan friends. Jamaicans love you too. Caribbean strong. 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇧🇧 🇧🇧
Same here!

As a Jamaican to watch this gave me so much pride …. Absolutely amazing …. Historic event
America is still the best in Track and Field.
@@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 Not per capita
6:46 I like how Usain Bolt always have some sort of celebratory gesture before finishing the race.
I must have watched this hundred of times and each I do watched it I felt so excite as if it is my very first time seeing this race. Big Bolt. He is such a class act when it come to running 100 and 200 meters. I hope he will do a 400 meter before he retires. Man up Bolt.
He is a Olympic Sprinter which means he does Sprint distances like 100m and 200m 400 is long distance
***** 400 is considered a sprint not long distance
Toby Nmoh yea but bolt said he mainly focuses on short distances like 100m and 200m
i realized my mistake
thought i was the only one
haha
***** bolt started as a 400m runner aand then he went down to the 200...while training for the 200 he tried the 100 to gain more power for his 200 finish and ended up breaking the 100 record.
I just love watching my boys smashing it. Proud jamaican over here lol love em
Op op mi seh dem baad runners under yah empire
queen
Bolts intros are legendary😂
Blake is really a good sprinter. His bend runs are powerful
I just can't believe it yohan blake is at full speed and bolt still got the time to put his finger on his mouth
Bolt slowed down at middle of the race then blake started to catch him then bolt speeded up bit go secure victory.
Still can't believe I was there and saw Usain Bolt win the 200 metres final nearly 3 years ago 😱 UNFORGETTABLE!
1,2,3, team 🇯🇲we salute you, we could not ask for more of you guys, so so proud of you well done good job.👍
There will never be another one like him. I'm glad I got to see these events happen live as they happened.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
For every American that qualified
In Jamaica there was two
Bolt be like "son, blake you're the future but this is my time baby!"
What a legend with tripple olympics. The record that will never be broken
If you're wondering why Bolt slowed down, he didn't want to compete with Blake as he knew for sure they both would be the 1st and 2nd. He preferred to honour a friend rather than break a record.
He shoulda tried harder, either way it doesn’t effect Blake if he loses by 0.12s instead of 0.22s. I’m always annoyed by Bolt not giving his all. I suppose he thinks that when his records eventually get broken people will be able to say he didn’t even give it his all and argue he would’ve beaten the new record if that person had been around in his era.
@@placebojesus5652bolt slowed down because he knew he would not beat the record and he had back pain so going all out he could got injured. Probably 19.27 without easing on the line.
Just something to point out: Even the slowest time of 20.69 was still faster than Jesse Owen's amazing 200m run in Germany, at 20.7. Shows that olympian sprinters of this day and age are always surpassing the limits
And track surface is better together with the shoe technology
I swear Bolt has a habit of slowing down when he's close to the finish line. And when I watch the race, the other racers legs move faster than his and he still manages to beat them. LEGEND! And I wonder what he could do if he slows down after the finish line
He's generally stronger than most athletes that's why he doesn't put the effort; only when it counts...especially in the 100m
True....every Jamaican athletes have that habit of slowing down at the finish line.
the year he set the world records in 2009. He didn't slow down, And also started fast in both races(fastest starter in 200m) After that, I'm sure he never felt the need to do so again.
@@MrPrinceW1In this race bolt had back pain so he didn't need to risk it. But his own words though he didn't think he would beat the record going all out maybe he would ran 19.25s.
It's 2018 and I can't stop watching this video.First I want to say good job to all country who made the final.Ja big up a one love me seh,Im even more proud to be a Jamaican patriot
We gonna ignore how everyone does their best pose but bolt just qaves his hand the crowd goes crazy🤣
BLAKE has Speed!!! No doubt! Respect.
Uhhhh If he didnt slow down at the end he could have broken an Olympic Record
Alex Bigander Yes that would've been nice to get it closer to the WR... As he did with 100m.
Yeah I think he should have went for the OR, Because its obvious he'll win so he should go for a record, But Im sure hes happy for getting gold.
Alex Bigander He also scuffs his foot out of the blocks (7:33), which means he could have run the curve even faster...crazy haha
Yeah well that would have made it faster too but its REALLY crazy slowing down in the Olympics, but as I said Im glad he still won
Arlen Peterson He didn't scuff his foot out of the blocks, that's a toe-drag technique for the start.
Exceptionally Legendary! You Can't Help But Love JAMAICA!!
I love how Jamaica came in 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd
WOW! Jamaica won all 3 😂
DaRK StAr cause they have BOLT and BLAKE
Fatimah Rehan yes that's y and don't forget the girls too😉😉
Even though they dont have blake and boly they can still win though
...with a population of only 3 Mill
Yep. SWEEEP!!!! LOL!!
This was incredible to see live! The stadium went nuts, so happy I got captured it on video!
This is the most amazing 200m race in the history
I liked the 2015 world championship 200m race as well. Though the times are bit faster here.
Spearman says "it's my turn " Jamaica #3 says nope. Not today
wow he actually slowed down at the end
Listen to the crowd after the gun goes off! Awesome!

Descansa en paz leyenda Alex Quiñonez... Gracias por haber dejado en alto el nombre de nuestro país, que orgullo mas grande haber sido representado por tan humilde y talentoso deportista... Tenías mucho que dar todavía...
how do you jog across the line like that in the Olympics?
Yea he didn't want records though. He would've broken his 2008 Olympic 19.3 had he ran through all the way. Maybe 19.25-19.27
the world record is 19.19 he broke it in 2009 lol

Let's give it up for glen mills. Yes athletes have talents but they coaching to enhance their talents. Now he is coaching oblique Seville. Congrats on a great era mr mills.
I'm laughing so hard when London's mascot comes into the frame it's hilarious I dunno why
how bolt jogged the last 50 meters is beyond me. he could break 19 seconds if he wanted to
He didn't jog the last 50m are you nuts? He stopped running like 5meters from the finish line.
+TheFlash3237 is Blake in rio too or nah
