The 1984 race video was of the 100 meter final, but the results listed in this video are from round 1 heat 1. There were 11 heats in round 1, five quarterfinal races, two semifinal races, and then the final. Carl Lewis won the final in 9.99.
The only Australian competitor in 1896, Edwin Harold "Teddy" Flack (1873-1935) just turned up (he was actually working in London at the time) and competed in about 5 events winning the 800m and 1500m and nearly completing the marathon 3 miles short before being removed from the event distressed. He played tennis wining bronze however the doubles was with an English friend to form the team. For his Silver (present day Gold) medal presentation the band played the Austrian anthem by mistake. God Save The Queen was also our Anthem back then. No Australia in 1896 either as there were 6 British colonies (now states) which later federated into the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. Flack has a Wikipedia entry now too.
in some of the early olympic games they would just visit local embassies asking for competitors to make up the numbers - and in 1 marathon someone stopped to pick apples and i think they still won a medal.

interesting that the times in the 1930s were around 10.3 then jump back up to 10.6 range until 1960. I wonder if losing so many young men in WW2 was factor in that and it took 25 years for the first full strength generation to re-emerge.
@@markojovanovic3835 Heuer already made the Micrograph stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second in 1916, used in the Olympics in 1920. You'll loose some accuracy from manual operation, but it will be less than 1/10th off, so these times should be perfectly accurate.
Charlie Paddock though..standing start, running on dirt, with no spikes probably, and clocking at 10.6 in 1920; that has to be one of the greatest sprint ever//
Thumbs up due to the compilation of these pics and vids. 1984- 1. Lewis, 2. Graddy 3. Johnson. 2004 is from the semi-final with Crawford winning his heat.
Two interesting items of note: (1) In 1972, the winner was Borzov of Russia, with a time of 10:14. In the next Olympics in 1976, Borzov won the bronze medal. His time? 10:14! (2) In 2000, Aziz Zakari made the final but DNF. In 2004, Zakari made the finals again, and amazingly, once again DNF. What bad fortune. That probably never happened before or since.
As most know, in '72, Borzov's 10.14 would have likely been bronze, if not for an outdated heats schedule that caused 2 U.S. athletes to miss their race. They had the 2 fastest times in the world at the time.
Bob Hayes was fast AF! I had never watched his track highlights(just his football). I remember reading a story about him where his coaches said he ran like he was trying to beat the track to death. (or something like that). Now I get it.

A couple of these were too close to call ( example 1932 at 3:13 ) I’m curious to know what is the official definition of who crosses first? (is it your head/face, torso, or any part of your body, like an arm or a hand?)
So is it that people were just as fast 100+ years ago and the decrease in time has more to do with equipment (i.e. starting blocks, shoes, training techniques, better track surfaces, digital timers, etc.) because it sure seems to be tiny increments of improvement.
And modern tracks rather than cinders. If Bob Hays ran in Maxfly shoes on a Mondo track he would probably still have the World Record. Instead he was running in borrowed spikes on a wet cinder track in lane one that was all chewed up from the 10,000m final just before it and still equaled the World Record.
@@emmett1ish not gonna speculate and downgrade the modern athletes, but I think that the results could've been pretty similar to the modern days if they had the outside factors of today.
Relating to 400m hurdles, very recently Edwin Moses mentioned that he didn`t have the modern shoes that Warholm and Benjamim have, but is also true that 20 years before his world record, athletes didn´t have his better shoes and track...!
All you can do is be the best of your generation. Differences in training methods and equipment is just fun to argue about. Roger Bannister's 4-minute mile doesn't sound like much today, but he was a full time medical student when he accomplished the feat. He sharpened his own spikes on a grindstone that morning and took a train to the track meet. I can't help but think he didn't have a nutritionist. Anyone think he might do a wee bit better than 4 minutes using modern training and preparation?
But it's interesting that jesse Owen's ran 10.3 in 1936....and it the winning times bounced around that mark for the next 40 years,I'm inclined to think Jesse was the Bolt of his time
Bolt is the fastest and most supreme sprinting athlete in the history of life on Earth, so why exactly would he wish for a time machine? I'm confused :/ Bolt won every major title in the 100m and 200m between 2008 and 2016 inclusive, apart from the 2011 world titles 100m when he was disqualified for a false start. How anyone 'likes' your nonsensical comment is beyond me. Maybe he could transport himself 50 years into the future and still beat them all.
@True Funk Soul Exactly, and Seb Coe’s times from 40 years ago would still be best time of any 800 m runner in 2021 as well. Also, if it could be said that Bolt would like a time machine, you are right in saying he didn’t need one. It’s not Bolt that would like the time machine, it’s the dozens of tier 2 runners whose times would have been the gold standard easily. So yeah, Bolt is happy where he’s at. And like Coe, his times will still be world class leading times, 40 years later.
1. You should identify the location of each of the Olympics. 2. You should show the results of the race BEFORE showing the race as we do not know who the runners are until after the race.
I would love to see the first runners from 100 plus years ago and the ones in the middle and today programmed in a simulation and watch them race head to head! I'll bet there's an algorithm that could be applied! We could watch the runner from 1896 run against Jesse Owens and Jesse Owens run against Usain Bolt! Would be really intriguing
The best cheat? Johnson was a disgraceful steroid freak who ruined the Olympic final for the rightful champion Carl Lewis who trailed behind on the day when he should have been experiencing the glory of winning his second Olympic gold medal in the event. Awesome legend?! Not really. Thankfully his fake times have been destroyed by Bolt and others in the years since anyway, and Johnson has faded into obscurity where he belongs.
@@sreeharie821 well, I never did any track and field disciplines professionally, all my training was that twice a year we would go through some of the athletics during PE classes. I had no spikes, never focused on meal at all. Maybe I had naturally good running technique, far from perfect of course, which would probably be the case for 1896 champion too.
That 1984 heat was not the Final. Canada's Tony Sharpe did not win Silver. I think that's a Semifinal heat. Definitely isn't the Final Heat in Los Angeles.
I remember the English expert panel previewing the 2004 Olympic 100m final. They mentioned 5 athletes that could possibly win......Maurice Greene (reigning Olympic champion ) Shawn Crawford, Asafa Powell, Francis Obikwelu and reigning world Champion Kim Collins. Guess who won ?............Yes, Justin Gatlin and they totally dismissed him as a possible winner.
Difference between getting caught and not, in the age of sports doping. Most elite athletes were cheating back then, depending on your sport of course.
Ryder Washington What about the rest of the sprinter's that broke records and won gold medals? Should you forget about them? Or are you going to forget about Bolt when his records are broken?
I've notice how poor some of the post war times were up to 1960 - obviously affected by the 2nd World war - not just because of athletes being killed but also nutrition
@@nsxperformance But the pre war athletes also suffered from the same disadvantages and the Olympic winning times in the 1930s were better than the 40s and 50s.
@@nsxperformance They had cinder tracks until 1968, I think the aftermath of the war was the biggest reason those times jump like they do, they don't come back into what you would expect a natural progression until an entire post war generation comes of age.
The 60's.. when the "special supplements" came in, we started seeing times get closer to the 10 flat. As training advanced,spikes got lighter, and tracks improved, and the "supplements" became stronger, sub 10 started appearing.
@@lgarcia67 possibility but remember that Usain also had the longest stride, probably ever, and his technique wasn't even "text book". The man is insanely fast! But I don't deny that he was using. Either he was smart with the dosage cycles, or people turned a blind eye because he made them very rich
This makes me wonder now when we will see an Olympic final where EVERY racer comes in under 10s. Just checked this year's final and everyone that finished did so under 10, but someone defaulted and someone else was hurt. I think a final could come soon where we see sub-10s times in all eight lanes.

What we've really learnt from this video: if you don't want to get injured, don't run in second line
1986 race was blinkin fast… They were standing on the starting line and then BAM! Results… 😳
Amazing…
1896
@@mihaiflaviusuhani5887 lol right! My brain was born in the 1900s 😁 It can’t compute other centuries so easily 😁
Can we have the 10 000m compilation next
Jesse Owen's said 🏃🏾♂️💨
nice job. great video. Ben johnson was the best but he didnt qualify. awesome legend but sad.
You mean Jenson Bohnson?
The best cheat? Johnson was a disgraceful steroid freak who ruined the Olympic final for the rightful champion Carl Lewis who trailed behind on the day when he should have been experiencing the glory of winning his second Olympic gold medal in the event. Awesome legend?! Not really. Thankfully his fake times have been destroyed by Bolt and others in the years since anyway, and Johnson has faded into obscurity where he belongs.
I remember at the time reading a newspaper about Johnson's cheating. Said he lost 12 million dollars in sponsorships , advertising, by being caught.

and stfu!
Wow! I ran 11.8 at high school! Had I lived in 1896 I could've won olympic gold medal lol (and many other people of course)
Well you should run with the same tracks,with same equipments and eat the same food items they used to have back then
@@sreeharie821 well, I never did any track and field disciplines professionally, all my training was that twice a year we would go through some of the athletics during PE classes. I had no spikes, never focused on meal at all. Maybe I had naturally good running technique, far from perfect of course, which would probably be the case for 1896 champion too.
interesante video..
Why isn't Ben Johnson mentioned in the 1988 results?
That 1984 heat was not the Final. Canada's Tony Sharpe did not win Silver. I think that's a Semifinal heat. Definitely isn't the Final Heat in Los Angeles.
Right. The video is the final but the results listed, per Wikipedia, are from Heat 1.
@@ShakesTheClown46 ya thx. I'm Canadian so i know Ben Johnson finished 3rd in L.A. in 1984. Took me a few minutes to realize something was off. Lol.
The final men's 100m medal result was: Gold, Carl Lewis (USA) 9.99 Silver, Sam Graddy (USA) 10.19 Bronze, Ben Johnson (CAN) 10.22
@@iainmuncie4087 thanks Iain.
thks guy
Francis Lane (1896) went to my school!
I remember the English expert panel previewing the 2004 Olympic 100m final. They mentioned 5 athletes that could possibly win......Maurice Greene (reigning Olympic champion ) Shawn Crawford, Asafa Powell, Francis Obikwelu and reigning world Champion Kim Collins. Guess who won ?............Yes, Justin Gatlin and they totally dismissed him as a possible winner.
1988 results:
1- Ben Johnson (CAN) 9.79 s (WR, OR, NR, SB, PB)
2- Carl Lewis (USA) 9.92 s
3- Linford Christie (GBR) 9.97 s
All three of them were pumped up with PEDs.
Ben disqualified. So carl got gold
@@haja2382 Ben still the greatest sprinter decades ahead and so the 1988 gold medalist.
Difference between getting caught and not, in the age of sports doping. Most elite athletes were cheating back then, depending on your sport of course.
ベルリンの映像は時代を超越している。
That music which started playing at 10:00 is terrifying lol
some of the results and the footage are incorrect. One example 1984 Lewis 9.99 not 10.32.
In the 2008 final Usain Bolt actually started jogging after 8s
Where were the Summer Olympics in 2014??
1984 times are not correct, Carl Lewis won in 9'99 not 10'32 !!!!
I had no idea about the Olympics in 2014
It took over 100 years for Usain Bolt to arrive, but he arrived in style and won it in style.
Ryder Washington What about the rest of the sprinter's that broke records and won gold medals? Should you forget about them? Or are you going to forget about Bolt when his records are broken?
@@BreuckelensFinest I doubt anybody will beat 9.58 in the 21st century lol.
No one ran as beautifully as Jesse Owens!
Lewis
I also like!
Need to check your results. Van Miltenburg never made an Olympic final
9:47 is this sound a mistake? because if not the creator might be on something
100m demeure ma légende...
My 100m at 15 would have won bronze in the 1896 competition, its crazy how far this race has come
What do you mean 'how far this race has come'? It's still only 100m.
I've notice how poor some of the post war times were up to 1960 - obviously affected by the 2nd World war - not just because of athletes being killed but also nutrition
They had cinder tracks back then that were at the mercy of the weather and however well the organisers maintained them
@@nsxperformance But the pre war athletes also suffered from the same disadvantages and the Olympic winning times in the 1930s were better than the 40s and 50s.
@@nsxperformance They had cinder tracks until 1968, I think the aftermath of the war was the biggest reason those times jump like they do, they don't come back into what you would expect a natural progression until an entire post war generation comes of age.
they changed the way they are timed..
@@willh1655 But not enough to account for the drop in performances
No audio
Usain Bolt records will stand for quite some time they already have!!!!!!
Качество записи до 80-х значительно выше.
Ага, вроде технологии, техника, а олимпиада в Германии, 1936, цветная и качество сегодня, епта
interesting. audio would have helped.
The 60's.. when the "special supplements" came in, we started seeing times get closer to the 10 flat. As training advanced,spikes got lighter, and tracks improved, and the "supplements" became stronger, sub 10 started appearing.
Big time, gear has helped to smash 10s.
And if you notice not many repeats until Usain Bolt started winning… like… Lance Armstrong… same “supplements” maybe??
@@lgarcia67 possibility but remember that Usain also had the longest stride, probably ever, and his technique wasn't even "text book". The man is insanely fast! But I don't deny that he was using. Either he was smart with the dosage cycles, or people turned a blind eye because he made them very rich
@@intensity.density2208 GENETICS........nuff said!
@@lgarcia67 DON'T FORGET MICHAEL PHELPS! AND TOM BRADY!
So why do lane 2 guys always have hamstring problem?
At 8:52, the results of 1984 are wrong. You are displaying the results of some qualification run, but not the actual final.
Andreas Rayo Kniep yeah carl ran faster than that and ben johnson had the bronze
Correct. I've also noticed
Yeah that's correct. The results don't match the 9.99 on the video.
I found it odd that I never heard of silver medallist Tony Sharpe for Canada! We know all of our 100m Olympic medallists in Canada!
It's pretty cool to see how modern 1930something looks after seeing 1900
This makes me wonder now when we will see an Olympic final where EVERY racer comes in under 10s. Just checked this year's final and everyone that finished did so under 10, but someone defaulted and someone else was hurt. I think a final could come soon where we see sub-10s times in all eight lanes.
2012 was the same, probably the fastest final ever
@@ptrgr72 We are definitley getting there -- pretty soon, you'll HAVE to run a sub-10 just to make a final, much less win one.
