- There's good, there's great, and then there's unbeatable!
Since the early inception of track and field in the late 1800s, various athletes have redefined the meaning of dominant. While some have great seasons, all athletes in this video spent multiple years without taking a single loss!
Making this video was a surreal experience, as multiple athletes spent almost 10 years without leaving the victory lane!
*Note - This list does not include qualification rounds!*
Thanks for watching! - กีฬา
In high school I was undefeated for a few years at the one mile.
It was an amazing feeling.
I never appreciated it enough when I was young.
Now I’m in my 30s and am constantly grinding to get fast again.
Nathan Brame how fast?
4:20 on the track.
4:11 on a road mile with minor downhill.
Never improved on my junior year. Due to mom getting re-married. Moving during my senior year. And I had to get a job and had to work nights during my last year.
I ran 4:23 as a sophomore but never ran as fast as I thought I could. I had mental barriers. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t have been closer to 4:10.
In college I got injured freshman year. But did manage a 26:08 8k.
But never went faster in the mile.
I wish I could go back in time and take training more seriously.
Nathan Brame focus on what’s ahead brother.
i understand that, i’m only a sophomore but i’m way slower than i was, i ran a 4:44 in 8th grade and now i’m just not good anymore
You are ugly baby phoque
She scissored 1.91 metres?! I wonder how high she would get with more modern technique, that is insanity.
4 year Russia ban must suck
Omg true. She would be the greatest jumper in our time
Not the only thing she could scissor
Akif Firdausi pictures of the athlete ?
@@fernandolopez7931 Different person
That scissor high jump technique makes my hips hurt.
What an amazing athlete she is.
Humans are so unique sometimes ..
it’s awesome.
She was.. Unfortunately Iolanda Balas died...
What a fun!
If I would to guess, I would say beside 154 consecutive wins, Iolanda Balas holds one more record. The most paused athletic performance of this video - 13:33. The same category achievement for movies however still remains unbeaten, after World's record of Shannon Stone in “Silver”.
I raced against the Kindergarten track team a few hundred times and have won every single time, so the answer is me 😎
oh dang you're right, guess they gotta reset the list!
I ate the kindergarten track as well
💀
total badass
OK Kramer... ;-)
Your videos keep getting more interesting
Thank you sir! Was reading up on winning streaks and well...it was a perfect video idea!
@@TotalRunningProductions there's not a single one of your videos that aren't worth a watch 🙂
@@finlayhutchinson7370 Cannot agree more.. these videos exactly the types of questions I have wondered about so often!
I've never won a silver or bronze medal so thats impressive!
but I've never won anything so I guess not
I saw Moses run at the first ever World athletic championships in Helsinki 1983. He was a Real Legend at the time. At the same games, there was a surprise winner in pole vault, a certain Sergei Bubka.
Phenomenal compilation.
Bravo! 👏
Great presentation; I always enjoy seeing a new offering from you, and this one is top tier!
Iolanda Balas was an amazing athlete and shows us that it is not always rock and paper... scissors are winners! (Apology for my poor pun) It was fantastic to see all these superb athletes in one video. I was fortunate to be at my peak when Edwin Moses was making 400m Hurdle history. I always admired him and his work ethic during those years. He inspired many others to improve in their respective events. Thanks again, TRP!
I love your vids bro, keep up the good work!
Great list -including the honourable mentions!
Edwin Moses was the best athlet ever in all times! The king 👑👑👑👑👑
My neighbor ran against him...and lost, of course
I am so old I remember watching '91 Lewis Powell live with my dad
Me too!
Said Aouita deserves at least an honorable mention, since july 1985 to july 1987 he won more than 40 consecutive races in 8 different distances. And since 1985 to 1990 he loses only 5 races and also in that period he broke the world recorld of 5 different distances (1500 / 2000 / 3000 / 2 miles / 5000)
i really like your videos. It's always quality content you make. thank you and please keep up the good work :).
Awesome video! I learned so much, love your videos!
It's crazy how parry obrian came up with a totally different way of throwing the shot put ...same as the fosbury flop...these people revolutionised their chosen sport ...it's truly amazing ...they went beyond competing...it always made me think " how come no one else thought of that " ...that's what pioneer's do
Awesome athletes (all of them) - you found some great instrumentals to accompany them too.
Thanks!
Great video. Very thorough and entertaining
A firm thumbs up and hearty well done to TRP. This piece was informative seeing familiar performances and becoming acquainted with previously unknown athletic bars set. Even honorable mentions contributed to the excellent content. This is a question, and by no means a criticism, but I was curious if U.S. discus thrower Al Oerter was someone who could've made your video. Four consecutive gold medal podium appearances from the Melbourne Games in 1956 to the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City is a very impressive standard, and only equalled by Lewis' long jump achievements 28 years later.
This is Goosebumps stuff !!! Love it !!!
Thanks for the content !
@@daddydk7530 me ?
So interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Great work.
That is a VERY impressive list of honorable mentions!
Good stuff. Very informative video with a also good matching sound track. Needed a bit final credits though.
It also kept it decent -> for those individuals that had a more important role in life to perform; than being a professional athlete.
Great Video!
I really enjoy your new intro
I was watching Carl Lewis compete in the long jump latter in his career. He had scratched on his previous 2 tries and was behind on distance when he threw down a 28' 5 1/2" jump. When the camera zoomed in on his launch you could see his foot was a good 12" behind the line.
Excellent video as always. Just out of curiousity, how many times did Bolt lose the 200m ?
Wooo go Valerie Adams!! She's a legend in New Zealand
1
*Thanks total running productions!
Edwin Moses could have so easily been a 4 time Olympic gold medallist. The US boycotted in '80 where he could've won blindfolded, and then he was upset in the final few meters in '88 in Seoul. He was the most unbeatable athlete in track and field in the mid 70's to mid 80's.
WoW! I never knew about Balas she was amazing 😳
She set the WR a miraculous 14 times! And that too with scissors technique.
She was also the first woman over 6 feet.
great video, what is the music at the beginning?
Edwin C Moses! Such a great athlete.... Amazing! Shout out to Dayton, Ohio!
400 METER HURDLES! 47.02s .......WHAT! Did he compete in the 400m without hurdles?
Nice video as usual ! What is the title of the intro music ? I know it is a free song but I've not been able to find it
"Dear homie we miss you" :)
Good good to see the great men and women who work hard to get the gold medals
On a separate note: Valerie Adams, sister of Steven Adams... for all of you basketball heads! 7:25
Half sister. ;-P
So being huge runs in the family lmao 6’4 female?? Wow truly incredible genes
No way! It actually crossed my mind that they were related when I saw her name. That's funny!
For real? Put a mustache on that beach!
Valerie Adams reminds me of Ms. Trunchbull from Matilda
What an excellent mini documentary. What about Juantorena, the 400 metre runner famously described as "opening his legs and showing his class"?
one interesting talking point is how you count championship qualification rounds. A) Do they or do they not count? and B) if you get one of the qqualification spots but do not win, does this or does this not break your winning streak?
Good question, and no, qualification rounds weren't included, which makes sense, there's no reason to push to the lead if you're comfortably in the top 3 or 4 in order to make it to the finals. That was a key point in the list, and I 100% agree with it.
3:55 I too never won a silver or a bronze at world level 😅
You missed Steve Ovett! He won about 45ish consecutive middle distance races before his 1500m defeat at the 1984 olympics
For all these things, I am glad that I am Romanian!
Cool video, but I think you are missing Merlene Ottey (57 consecutive wins in the 100m).
Aleksandr Karelin - the wrestling federation had to change the rules at the last minute to stop this guy since no one could beat him. 887 wins and 2 losses - 13 years undefeated. Even his loss is clouded in doubt because of the sudden rule change to stop him. This guy was the perfect wrestling machine.
That's impressive, but this is a video about TRACK & FIELD, or athletics if you want, not about the longest winning streak in ány sport.
@@2esquared bruh it is still relevant
Enjoyable!
Aye bolt had his time it’s time for some of these new runner to take the field
Bolt Forever 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thanks for mentioning people like Parry O Brien - people like him don't get the credit they deserve. Athletes like him and Flosbury practically revolutionized their events.
What song was that used during the Parry O'Brien clips?
I thought Merlene Ottey might have made the honourable mentions. She went a couple of years unbeaten in the early 90's.
Neofolis thought so too. She had 57 consecutive wins at 100 metres - the most consecutive wins over 100 metres for a female, and 34 consecutive wins at 200 metres.
Please tell background music at no . 6 Emil zatopek thank you
Bro zatopek was just like “mmmmm i dont feel like losing today so umm...”
There is winning streaks based on time, and on events won in succession. Both are relevant.
Does your list of wins include preliminary heats. If so, I was at the 1996 Olympics and saw Michael Johnson take second in his first round race. He visibly slowed down in the last 100m and was nipped at the line by a Sri Lankan who was running in lane one.
Great question, and no it doesn't! I had another comment asking the same thing and it's a really important point. I don't consider qualification rounds as vital to a winning streak as it's completely unnecessary to win as the top 3-4 proceed to the next round. Great question and thanks for watching!
I would guess that it doesn't as the goal is not to win but to secure an adequate placing to advance, and athletes will often pace their performances towards that goal so as not to compromise their effort to win the final race. Plus, one can see the preliminaries as simply leadups to or early parts of the race proper. Boxers will often give away rounds to feel out opponent's and save performance for when it really counts.
Can you tell which Sri Lankan. Cause I can't find any such info online.
I got it. Sugath Thilakarathne.
I never even have silver or gold haha And still dreaming to be as good as them lol Kudos to all of these legends👌
I guessed Moses rip
On the honorable mentions you missed that Carolina Klüft had more consecutive wins in heptathlon (19 or 18 if not including world youth championship) than Jackie Joyner-keresee.
If I would to guess, I would say beside 154 consecutive wins, Iolanda Balas holds one more record. The most paused athletic performance of this video - 13:33. The same category achievement for movies however still remains unbeaten, after World's record of Shannon Stone in “Silver”.
The consecutive streak of wins in any sport is 555 games by Jehangir Khan, A Pakistani Squash player, 1981 to 1986. That has and probably will remain the longest winning streak by a sprotman in any game.
Aleksandr Karelin Olympic wrestler went 13 years without losing. He had 887 wins and 2 losses (both by one point).
Only two with 4 successive Olympic Golds. 12 years. Of course they lost a few events in between: Carl Lewis (long jump), Al Oerter (discus) , Both USA. What’s extra interesting about Oerter, is that in no Olympics was he favourite.
154 wow I got goosebumps yow.
What's the song, started in @?
One of bolts biggest achievements was introducing a new generation to athletics ...you knew you were witnessing greatness.
For me there's nothing that compares to the Olympics because like I said about usain bolt there's that anticipation that barriers could be broken and your seeing the evolution of athletics ...the best competing against the best from all over the planet ...
Bubka only an honorable mention, the dude held the WR for 30 years second only to Mike Powel and he didn't break the WR once he did it 17 times. He still has the best performance ever outdoors.
Win streaks bro win streak!
Al Oerter didn't make the list? He should had been on this too. He was an unbeatable discus thrower for many years. Won gold medals in 4 Olympic Games in the discus (1956, 1960, 1964, & 1968).
Stefka Kostadinova high jump at 2.09 m this is unbeatable
What's the song, started in 8:30?
Between 2013 when Bolt lost to Gatlin in Rome and 2017 when he retired, did Bolt actually run 45 individual final races? That cant be possible with only 4 championships and his very few appearances on the circuit.
Also Michael Johnson competed in the 200m in 1992 Barcelona but because of food poisoning, he didn't run well and finished 6th in his semi final.
Regardless, really great video though, appreciate the detailed breakdown and list! Your previous videos are dope as well!
What's the name the sound at the start of the video
Valerie Adams is Steven Adam's sister (Center for OKC Thunder) by the way. Something like 16 kids in their family and half of them are pro athletes lol.
They should get Mondo on here now
Daley Thompson was unbeaten for 9 years.
What about Harrison Dillard's winning streak of 82 races? Also you need to look at Steve Ovett's winning streak over the mile and 1500m up until the final of the Moscow Olympic 1500m
I keep getting Usain Bolt ads
What about Maria Mutola the 800m runner from Mozambique she was prolific in her time and had a great career
Do these records include the elimination rounds?
Good question, and no they don't. Many athletes only need to be in top 3 or 4 to qualify for the next round so winning isn't a necessity. Good question.
I love it when a clean athlete was upgraded to be the real winner after a PED athlete was later DQ'd.
6:59- "Marthon"
What is the intro melody?
Because of performances like these, is why Valerie Adams is known as the Queen, all these athletes were incredibly dominant, they deserve any name they were given.
Semenya is up there and Valery Adams looking a candidate for the same reasons Semenya was targeted
@ 4:00 - Johson lost to Bailey in the 150m race on June 1,1997. This would've been his first loss, ending his win streak. His injury you mention at 4:10, is supposedly from this, not a year before at the Olympics.
The 150 is not included in the streak. No tracking of the 150
You forgot our sprinter, jodie Williams. She had a winning streak of 151 races over 100m and 200m, us brits treasure her
Adams actually won the gold outright in 2008 even with drugs the belarussians couldn’t beat her.
I wonder why Bob Beamon(long jump) and Jan Zelezny(Javelin thrower) names not in the list🤔
Or Steve OVETT with over 44/45 wins !!!!!!
Anyone know what Michael Johnsons pb is for 100m
Nice. It s a bit easier to win 100 shot put competitions than to win 100 marathons.
damn having a sister like valerie, now i know why Steven adams is so scared of his older sister lol.
HaHa. She could definitely be a bodyguard for the Thunder.
South Africa's Caster Semenya #1
Why didn’t you bring up Micheal Johnson performance enhancement drug use
Come on men! where is Jan Železný for the javelin throw, 98,48m?! That guy is a legend. He is "The Guy Who Forced the Field Size to be Increased".
Edwin Moses won 154 out of 159 400m hurdles finals in his career
Michael Johnson won 60 out of 63 400m finals in his career
Holy shit
Moses: 9 yrs 9 months 9 days illuminati confirmed
He had a 9ft 9in Stride.
i thought maybe Daley Thompson might be on this list, maybe didn't have the number of wins, but was unbeaten for 7 years.
Balas may have been undefeated due mainly to the fact that during her time, there are less competition. Unlike today where the training is so stiff and so high-tech, so athletes today are better trained scientifically and with better nourishment unlike before...
1.91 m jump with that tehnique ? No matters how many competition. Its just imposible. Period.
@@Geambasu169 Lasa-l ca-i ofticat prostu' !
There was tons of competition is the 50 and 60s. Please! And her natural ability was insane.
High jump 2,09 m Bulgaia Stefka Kostadinova 30 - 08 - 1987 Roma
KELLY SLATER - longest winning streak ever. 11 World Titles. Pro surfing career of some thirty years and still going at the elite level.
This is a video about TRACK & FIELD Anton!
what is current longest streak?
You said Usain Bolt had 45... does that consider the race he false started or no?
Good question, it actually does. It's kind of a grey area, is a false start a loss? According to IAAF it is.
The false start was in 2011, so it doesn’t matter
Like what Ethan Said, it happened in 2011, so it doesn't matter. And Bolt never false-started ever since
@@ethanennis8 Ohh, okay, got it!
Whatever it is, Bolt is simply a lightning
