This is a phenomenal race but I do think Blake’s 9.69 is the best 9.69 race ever because he ran it in a headwind. Also I think Gay would actually beat 9.69 in Berlin if the race did not have a headwind ( yes and bolt in that race would beat 9.58 Insane!). The only problem in the race in China is that Powell did not try at the end to beat gay and I think if both men tried hard at the end both would beat 9.69

@@admj5732 he mentions (joint)2nd fastest athlete of all time. He is correct. Usian Bolt, he can claim the one fastest time (9.58) lol. According to fastest times it would be 9.58, 9.63, 9.69, 9.71……, but by athletes it would go, bolt, Tyson & Blake, Powell, gaitlin.

Once a runner reaches an erect position it’s a whole new game. Some runners aren’t just good on the first meters which requires a different technique. In this phase you’re better of with quick short steps and of course a good reaction, whereas the later phase requires wide powerful ones. Depending on personal strength, athletes focus on certain aspects in their technique. It could be that adrenaline is a certain factor, since I would imagine that good starters produce more adrenaline right at the beginning. Concerning the development of records it should be kept in mind, that not only runners become better but also tracks, equipment and certain performance enhancers.
It's real. It's similar to other sports like when the best guys compete against each other they step up their game but when they play vs scrubs they aren't as good. Competition brings hype, hype causes athletes to step up
The 68 Olympics had a few records that remained for years as well. Long jump(Beamon) and 400 (Evans) stood for over 20 years each. I tip my hat to both athletes that were clearly ahead of their time...and, oh yeah, Bolt! The man amongst men!
I quite like this theory. Back in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics 100m final , Donovan Bailey had a poor start and ended up breaking the world record with a 9.84 sec run.👍
The theory of adrenaline makes sense. Back when Michael Johnson set the world record in the 400m he also had a horrible start and then absolutely owned the race so I definitely think there's something to that theory
The start was not poor o neither of athletes: when starting one should not hurry but prform the accelleration properly putting maximum power into the track this way the athlete can take over the rest of oponents having the higher peak of his top speed. Without proper (no hurry) accelleration achieving high top speed is impossible
It's pretty interesting that Gay ran this 9.69 just 1 month after Bolt's 9.58! Two things gave him the incentive to run this ridiculous time. 1) A month earlier Gay had ran 9.71, but it was only good enough to place second! (how demoralizing ). 2) In that same race (if you watch carefully ) you'll notice that in just a few of it being over you'll see Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell laughing and celebrating and I'm sure that Gay saw this and ignited him in an unprecedented way to get revenge on both of those guys and he did.
In training most athletes run faster than there competition time due to being more relaxed. From experience in competition the tension is high so in some cases it limits the athletes full capabilities. So your hypothesis could be thru, when under that type of pressure of losing it kind of makes u more relaxed in some ways
One thing that makes a person pushing himself/herself even more than their trainings is the challengers, look at Bolt 9.58 WR who's in the field, it has Powell, Gay, Gatlin.. Look at Thompson Herah new PB 10.54 who's in the field, its Fryser Pryce and and the ego one I forgot her name 😅.. Your challengers can give you much more power
Great video bro. Could you also analyze Gay's 9.77 from 2008 and Powell's 9.74. These two ran the most impressive 9.7s I've ever seen, because they didn't run through the line.
As an ex sprinter in track and field I can guarantee you that every race or that steps into the starting blocks before a race receives a large dose of adrenaline
Well, we need an updated video. Elaine. Thompson. Herah. It broke my heart that she broke our Queen Flo-Jo’s Olympic Record… But the Queen is still the Fastest Woman in the World since her World Records still stand at 10.49 for the 100m and 21.34 for the 200m. If anyone is going to break these records that have held strong for over 3 decades, it will be Herah. She’s simply amazing with a very promising career ahead of her. But I would be lying if I said I actually *want* her to break them! I just wish Flo-Jo was still alive today to see her greatness is still dominating despite all the advancements in sport science and technology which has clearly helped the runners of today. Flo-Jo is the definition of a legend (and not in the watered down sense of the word that’s used so often).
This performance is not as massive a deal as it seems. People seriously underestimate the HUGE effect of the conditions on a short sprint race. The advantage of the wind in these 100m races, where the max +2.0m/s wind gives a man a +0.1s advantage-is massive. Gay did this with the perfect possible conditions, a notoriously extremely fast track + the absolute maximum allowable wind. His 9.71s with a 0.9m/s wind in coming second to Bolt was actually a better run. Blake's 9.69 was also runt with zero wind conditions (actually -0.1m/s if I remember correctly). If Bolt rant hat same 9.58 race in these conditions, he'd have put up a possible 9.49
@@joe44523579875 well I respect your opinion but without Proof , can’t make those statements, gay and Blake yes - banned But I doubt bolt , if he did it how did he get away with it. It’s practically impossible. And also in 2009 when he broke WR His urine was tested I think around 22 times. But also like you said , no one knows if he’s doing it actually . Personally I don’t think so , because steroids will help you only so much , you can’t run 9.5 and 19.1 only on drugs This is my opinion
All I was saying was , I think till 2018, 10 runners did 100m under 9.8, 9 were later found to have used drugs . Bolt was only one never tested positive. Did Bolt get away with something, who knows, but hopefully he was clean. This vid talks a lot about Tyson Gay, as a great, without mentioning drugs. After 2018, we have to wait and see , Coleman has already gone down.
I believe that due to modern technology the shoes and track are the reasons for this AMAZING time. When you consider Jessy Owens , and Bob Hayes set World Records on Cinder Tracks. For those of you who don’t know, Runners used to run on gravel before Synthetic tracks were invented. After 1964 Olympics Synthetic tracks or Tartan increased the times drastically. Imagine if they had Synthetic tracks in the 36 Olympics or the shoes from Nike or Puma? With these new items speed was obtained and held longer because there was no resistance. The Runner literally bounced to the finish line. Also the shoes were much lighter.
I believe jessy owens on these tracks and with these shoes would have been out the door with his records. Some one once said he ran faster than a horse lol.
Equipment AND new training techniques. In the 80's they thought you couldn't improve vertical jump very much. We now know it can be trained. The same about speed. It can be trained much more then they thought it could.
Man, those were the days. Other than Bolt, Blake & Gay, nobody has ran those times since then. Even Tyson Gay's second place 9.71 behind Bolt's 9.58 is too fast for current sprinter's. Since 2009 only Bolt/Blake/Gay have equally or bested that 2nd place 9.71. Heck, getting 4th in 2012 Olympics is much harder than getting a gold today.
No it shows that there are people that can match and possibly beat bolts records. You gotta think Blake ran a 19.26 with a bad start… imagine if he had a good start. We would’ve beaten 19.19
I can never know why the runners were so fast that day. Your theory sounds plausible. I have a theory too, but mines is spiritual. Thanks for your video.
Amazing athlete, ran 9.79 when next fastest was 9.93 and that was by someone who was also on drugs! Think the next best non altitude assisted time at this point was 9.96 by mel lattany
@@closjr86 In a sport that measures victories by 1/100 of a second, any variance in wind would make a huge difference, it's pure science. Bolt would have even been faster with the wind variance!
I remember when Jetter ran this race. The other athletes didn't congratulate her like u might expect. Its almost like they were shocked at the time she ran.
People ran fast in those Adidas TechFit PowerWeb suits.... Look at the time Blake laid down wearing the same technology.. What ever happened to that technology? Was it banned?
@@hamzisharky8793 I've got some of the shorts. They were proven to return energy more efficiently, so long as you were capable of putting the energy in. Definitely increased the down drive snap of my stride. I found I would cramp more easily with them
Tyson ran his time on a ludicrously fast track with a perfect maximum 2.0m/s wind. Yohan Blake ran his INTO a 0.1m/s headwind so had zero assistance. Gay's is not comparable to Bolt and Blake's performances. A 2.0 wind makes a man 0.1s quicker than they would be in zero wind conditions. Gay's 9.72 at Berlin was actually a better performance
Gay had a lack of altitude, technology, nutrition, etc compared to Blake cause of 2009 vs 2012. Also gay is more consistent with his times and ran 9.71 on a slow track in a CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL. So yes, Gay and Blake are tied and please don't compare blake to bolt because its really not that close.
Yohan Blake, Tyson gay are tremendously talented athletes, a level above everybody else.. Bolt is champion, he doesn't run very fast according to his body.. But still he could win & made WR. While the above two athletes ran like beasts, but could never beat Bolt.
Tyson Gay had help... +2.0 wind speed and maybe other things. In any case Yohan Blake ran the same time into a very slight -0.1 headwind so his time is technically faster than Gay's.
If you take out the reaction times Yohan Blake ran the fastest 200 meter ever. Yohan Blake's reaction time when he ran 19.26 was about double his average, while Bolt's reaction time in his 200 meter WR was close to his average and Blake actually covered the 200 meters almost a 1/10 of a second faster than Bolt.
Yeah, correct. With the very same wind Gay would’ve ran a low 9.7”. Anyway, there’s no comparison between Bolt’s 9.58”, 9.63” and even 9.69”. The way Bolt ran the exact same time effortless at the 2008 Olympics is unmatchable.
@@sir_sack am I the fool? Comparing 9.58 to 9.69? Yohan Blake did it too. He shares the 2nd fastest time with Yohan. Tyson ran 9.69s with 2+ aided wind; basically the limit. Bolt had 0.0 wind assistance when he ran 9.69s in 2008. He shut down acceleration n sprint form between 50m and 60m. Jogging to the finish line. So what he did never changed anything.
@@jesuisdavid1 I don’t know what you’re trying to say here. In the video he said Gay was the second fastest person of time (tied with Blake, behind Bolt) but you said it was inaccurate because Bolt ran 9.63 as well as 9.58 despite those two times being the same person.
@@sir_sack Bolt's times weren't wind aided. Wind can make you run significantlt faster which is why there is a legal limit for records. I said quite clearly that Gay's 9.69s was wind assisted and didnt change shit. The wind blew and he got lucky! So basically this video is mucho about absolutely nothing no matter how much you break it down. Hope that helped. The fact that I have to explain simple variables and how they affect the final outcomes in sprints demonstrates out how of element you are
You can call out all the stat You want and try to convince people that Gay is faster than Bolt...But here's the magic...Put Gay at his best with bolt and you'll know that no man can Beat bolt on a track when bolt has his eyes on you...He will run faster that your best seeing that you're trying to outrun him..We didn't see the best of bolt's speed cos he gave the required speed needed to beat those running with him at the current moment. If you can run 9.3sec and bolt sees you doing that to beat him on live track, he will run 9seconds..That's the magic with bolt..
The 9.69 wasn’t a poor start. Out of the blocks, the goal is to keep your body at a 45° angle as long as possible so that you minimize the distance while running straight up on the back end of the race.
Those one shot races are ok, but to go through all those rounds at the olympics and the world championships and still run world records, Usain Bolt is clearly the best of the best and he proved it for years in his time.😁

The start was not poor o neither of athletes: when starting one should not hurry but prform the accelleration properly putting maximum power into the track this way the athlete can take over the rest of oponents having the higher peak of his top speed. Without proper (no hurry) accelleration achieving high top speed is impossible
It's pretty interesting that Gay ran this 9.69 just 1 month after Bolt's 9.58! Two things gave him the incentive to run this ridiculous time. 1) A month earlier Gay had ran 9.71, but it was only good enough to place second! (how demoralizing ). 2) In that same race (if you watch carefully ) you'll notice that in just a few of it being over you'll see Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell laughing and celebrating and I'm sure that Gay saw this and ignited him in an unprecedented way to get revenge on both of those guys and he did.
The same thing happened to Michael Johnson in his 200m world record... He stumbled at the start.
Tyson Gay will always be remembered as the 2nd fastest....after Usain Bolt.
No, Yohan Blake
Yohan Blake is 2nd best after Bolt. No contest.
In training most athletes run faster than there competition time due to being more relaxed. From experience in competition the tension is high so in some cases it limits the athletes full capabilities. So your hypothesis could be thru, when under that type of pressure of losing it kind of makes u more relaxed in some ways
One thing that makes a person pushing himself/herself even more than their trainings is the challengers, look at Bolt 9.58 WR who's in the field, it has Powell, Gay, Gatlin.. Look at Thompson Herah new PB 10.54 who's in the field, its Fryser Pryce and and the ego one I forgot her name 😅.. Your challengers can give you much more power
Bolt's record would have been faster had he not posed before hitting the tape.
Blablabla
Yeah but he's the GOAT so
@@huskiehuskerson5300 That addresses nothing I stated.
@@electric8668 Yeah but he's the GOAT so
In Bolt's WR he didn't pose before hitting the tape. That was his 9.69 old WR run.
Great video bro. Could you also analyze Gay's 9.77 from 2008 and Powell's 9.74. These two ran the most impressive 9.7s I've ever seen, because they didn't run through the line.
Bolt ran 9.69 2008 Olympic final and started celebrating at 75m
@@bradlyvincent1634 Bolt celebrated 15m before, not 25m.
@@TheFlash3237 dropped his arms at the 25m mark , look at the race clearly
As an ex sprinter in track and field I can guarantee you that every race or that steps into the starting blocks before a race receives a large dose of adrenaline
Comparisons with athletes who then fail drug tests such as Gay are for me a bit pointless
Couldn’t have said it better. They deserve zero attention.
Blake also has a failed drug test and we know the IAAF was famous for covering up other stars. Keep it all the way 100!

Well, we need an updated video.
Elaine. Thompson. Herah.
It broke my heart that she broke our Queen Flo-Jo’s Olympic Record…
But the Queen is still the Fastest Woman in the World since her World Records still stand at 10.49 for the 100m and 21.34 for the 200m.
If anyone is going to break these records that have held strong for over 3 decades, it will be Herah. She’s simply amazing with a very promising career ahead of her. But I would be lying if I said I actually *want* her to break them! I just wish Flo-Jo was still alive today to see her greatness is still dominating despite all the advancements in sport science and technology which has clearly helped the runners of today. Flo-Jo is the definition of a legend (and not in the watered down sense of the word that’s used so often).
Doping Queen?
@@SilencedButNotForgotten She never tested positive for doping. Innocent until proven guilty, and she was never found to be the latter.
Great race to watch & enjoy. Tyson Grey was unbelievably fast with lightening speed midway to finish line
some runners can go godmode when people least expect it.
With drugs...
@Nkosi Ndugumuzana hahahahahah... not really. If you dont think pro athletes don't dope... you are delusional
Another theory is that they could've had an issue with their peaking
Very true, peaking too late
Could also be all the stress of the season had gone and the pressure was off him.
These 3 athletes got more than an extra shot of adrenaline.
Right someones awake.
This performance is not as massive a deal as it seems. People seriously underestimate the HUGE effect of the conditions on a short sprint race. The advantage of the wind in these 100m races, where the max +2.0m/s wind gives a man a +0.1s advantage-is massive. Gay did this with the perfect possible conditions, a notoriously extremely fast track + the absolute maximum allowable wind. His 9.71s with a 0.9m/s wind in coming second to Bolt was actually a better run. Blake's 9.69 was also runt with zero wind conditions (actually -0.1m/s if I remember correctly). If Bolt rant hat same 9.58 race in these conditions, he'd have put up a possible 9.49
Tyson Gay is such a legend. Hands down my favorite sprinter to watch. 🔥

@@cxld1786 same reason Lance Armstrong never took drugs. 🤣😂
@@joe44523579875 well I respect your opinion but without Proof , can’t make those statements, gay and Blake yes - banned
But I doubt bolt , if he did it how did he get away with it. It’s practically impossible.
And also in 2009 when he broke WR
His urine was tested I think around 22 times.
But also like you said , no one knows if he’s doing it actually .
Personally I don’t think so , because steroids will help you only so much , you can’t run 9.5 and 19.1 only on drugs
This is my opinion
All I was saying was , I think till 2018, 10 runners did 100m under 9.8, 9 were later found to have used drugs . Bolt was only one never tested positive. Did Bolt get away with something, who knows, but hopefully he was clean. This vid talks a lot about Tyson Gay, as a great, without mentioning drugs. After 2018, we have to wait and see , Coleman has already gone down.
I believe that due to modern technology the shoes and track are the reasons for this AMAZING time. When you consider Jessy Owens , and Bob Hayes set World Records on Cinder Tracks. For those of you who don’t know, Runners used to run on gravel before Synthetic tracks were invented. After 1964 Olympics Synthetic tracks or Tartan increased the times drastically. Imagine if they had Synthetic tracks in the 36 Olympics or the shoes from Nike or Puma? With these new items speed was obtained and held longer because there was no resistance. The Runner literally bounced to the finish line. Also the shoes were much lighter.
I believe jessy owens on these tracks and with these shoes would have been out the door with his records. Some one once said he ran faster than a horse lol.
Equipment AND new training techniques. In the 80's they thought you couldn't improve vertical jump very much. We now know it can be trained. The same about speed. It can be trained much more then they thought it could.
Id like to add that bolt actually ran 9.63 in 2012. 3 years later. so an athlete has since run faster than gays time after that day
Think he meant anyone else other than the person that was already in 1st place 🙄
Who cares
This guy is truly amazing!
Didn't Bolt run a 9.63s in the 2012 London Olympics thereby breaking the Olympic record? So he did run faster than Tyson Gay after just 3 yrs.
Oh, shit. Good point.
Man, those were the days. Other than Bolt, Blake & Gay, nobody has ran those times since then. Even Tyson Gay's second place 9.71 behind Bolt's 9.58 is too fast for current sprinter's. Since 2009 only Bolt/Blake/Gay have equally or bested that 2nd place 9.71. Heck, getting 4th in 2012 Olympics is much harder than getting a gold today.
You said that no athletes have improved on those times since that day. Bolt ran 9.63 in the London 100m final. 3 years later.
Shout out to my athletes who were breaking women records in high school
In a world with no superlatives... no TRP?
Perish the thought. Love your work :)
Helping me thru quarantine 😢
Great content and great delivery
Now, athletes needs to think of running at 45km/h. In that way, they can break the world record.
Thanks for your detailed examinations. I'd have never known these things..
5:18, Usainbolt ran faster in the london olympics in a time of 9:63 so technically tysons tome was bettered.
Outstanding analysis!
Please do a preview of the Kipruto-Kiplimo showdown at the Valencia Half Marathon!
Definitely have that race on my radar!
Great Comparative Analysis !!
this shows the greatness of Bolt even more i think..
No it shows that there are people that can match and possibly beat bolts records. You gotta think Blake ran a 19.26 with a bad start… imagine if he had a good start. We would’ve beaten 19.19
@@Iamcgmartin no? It DOES show the greatness and the greatness of those to come
I can never know why the runners were so fast that day. Your theory sounds plausible. I have a theory too, but mines is spiritual. Thanks for your video.
My ‘theory’ is a better track. Adrenaline can do a lot, and an “Oh, sh*t!” shock to the system can do it.
They are all already full of adrenaline. Could be a better track.
Another standout video!
I shudder to think what Bob Hayes would have run in todays world.
We can get as scientific and technical as we like. Wont change Bolt being the fastest human.
Yeah true.
Ben Johnson will always be the best sprinter ever, he slowed down and lifted his hand with 15 meters to go.
Amazing athlete, ran 9.79 when next fastest was 9.93 and that was by someone who was also on drugs! Think the next best non altitude assisted time at this point was 9.96 by mel lattany
Best cheater
I'm a huge Bolt fan, but I believe some kid, who hasn't yet awaken, literally someone in the next 5 years, will break the records.
+2.0m/s
Imagine if Usain Bolt has a +2.0m/s for his world record run. 9.49s ?
Doubt it. When moving that fast at that strength the wind wouldn’t make that big of a jump on his time. The headwind wasn’t by any means strong.
More or less. Bolt had 0.9 m/s wind in his WR race. So, with +2.0 m/s wind, he colud’ve ran a 9.55/9.54” most likely. Quite impressive ahahah
@@closjr86 In a sport that measures victories by 1/100 of a second, any variance in wind would make a huge difference, it's pure science. Bolt would have even been faster with the wind variance!
Imagine if anyone cares
@@geofr7178 ,who cares
I remember when Jetter ran this race. The other athletes didn't congratulate her like u might expect. Its almost like they were shocked at the time she ran.

Amazing narration
Tyson ran his time on a ludicrously fast track with a perfect maximum 2.0m/s wind. Yohan Blake ran his INTO a 0.1m/s headwind so had zero assistance. Gay's is not comparable to Bolt and Blake's performances. A 2.0 wind makes a man 0.1s quicker than they would be in zero wind conditions. Gay's 9.72 at Berlin was actually a better performance
Tyson getting a wind of +2.0m/s is not his problem. It’s a legal wind.
Yohan had a fast track and altitude
Gay had a lack of altitude, technology, nutrition, etc compared to Blake cause of 2009 vs 2012. Also gay is more consistent with his times and ran 9.71 on a slow track in a CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL. So yes, Gay and Blake are tied and please don't compare blake to bolt because its really not that close.
Yohan Blake, Tyson gay are tremendously talented athletes, a level above everybody else.. Bolt is champion, he doesn't run very fast according to his body.. But still he could win & made WR. While the above two athletes ran like beasts, but could never beat Bolt.
Shelly just lowered that time
Tyson Gay had help... +2.0 wind speed and maybe other things.
In any case Yohan Blake ran the same time into a very slight -0.1 headwind so his time is technically faster than Gay's.
05:18,Bolt ran 9.63 in London 2012
He's already the no1 so not somebody else is wat he means 🙄
If you take out the reaction times Yohan Blake ran the fastest 200 meter ever. Yohan Blake's reaction time when he ran 19.26 was about double his average, while Bolt's reaction time in his 200 meter WR was close to his average and Blake actually covered the 200 meters almost a 1/10 of a second faster than Bolt.
yeah but gay had a +2.0 m/s wind whereas bolt had a +0.9 m/s wind
Yeah, correct. With the very same wind Gay would’ve ran a low 9.7”. Anyway, there’s no comparison between Bolt’s 9.58”, 9.63” and even 9.69”. The way Bolt ran the exact same time effortless at the 2008 Olympics is unmatchable.
Correction - They weren't running - They were flying ⚡︎
Not accurate, Bolt ran 9.63 in the 2012 Olympics in London. Tyson's race didn't change anything.
He said the second fastest PERSON you fool
@@sir_sack 😆
@@sir_sack am I the fool? Comparing 9.58 to 9.69? Yohan Blake did it too. He shares the 2nd fastest time with Yohan. Tyson ran 9.69s with 2+ aided wind; basically the limit. Bolt had 0.0 wind assistance when he ran 9.69s in 2008. He shut down acceleration n sprint form between 50m and 60m. Jogging to the finish line. So what he did never changed anything.
@@jesuisdavid1 I don’t know what you’re trying to say here. In the video he said Gay was the second fastest person of time (tied with Blake, behind Bolt) but you said it was inaccurate because Bolt ran 9.63 as well as 9.58 despite those two times being the same person.
@@sir_sack Bolt's times weren't wind aided. Wind can make you run significantlt faster which is why there is a legal limit for records. I said quite clearly that Gay's 9.69s was wind assisted and didnt change shit. The wind blew and he got lucky! So basically this video is mucho about absolutely nothing no matter how much you break it down. Hope that helped. The fact that I have to explain simple variables and how they affect the final outcomes in sprints demonstrates out how of element you are
You can call out all the stat You want and try to convince people that Gay is faster than Bolt...But here's the magic...Put Gay at his best with bolt and you'll know that no man can Beat bolt on a track when bolt has his eyes on you...He will run faster that your best seeing that you're trying to outrun him..We didn't see the best of bolt's speed cos he gave the required speed needed to beat those running with him at the current moment. If you can run 9.3sec and bolt sees you doing that to beat him on live track, he will run 9seconds..That's the magic with bolt..
The 9.69 wasn’t a poor start. Out of the blocks, the goal is to keep your body at a 45° angle as long as possible so that you minimize the distance while running straight up on the back end of the race.
You slow down *less* than everyone else in the last half of the race
Tyson Gay's turnover stride was the fastest compare to other sprinter on the race.
Unbelievable
1:03 wtf is this musclessss
Those one shot races are ok, but to go through all those rounds at the olympics and the world championships and still run world records, Usain Bolt is clearly the best of the best and he proved it for years in his time.😁
