An entertaining and interesting presentation on what is arguably the signature team sprinting event in every major track and field competition. However, one relevant piece of historical information was excluded when discussing record setting relay anchor legs. In addition to Hayes being the only athlete to produce a dominating victory from such an unlikely position as fifth place once in receipt of the baton, it is also the only performance of its kind to occur on a cinder track. Lewis, Powell and even the great Usain Bolt were all recipients of improved running surface technology while producing their incredible timed splits. Therefore, on the strength of those two undisputed facts, the 1964 U.S. Men's 4X100m relay anchored by legendary sprinter "Bullet" Bob Hayes, remains in a class of its own that transcends simple statistics.
Totally agree. I saw the Tokyo Olympics live. What he did in the 100m final is insane. He ran in lane one, where a 1500m heat had been run 10m earlier in the rain. He wore spikes borrowed from a teammate as he had left his own back at the Olympic Village. He finished two metres ahead of two other world record holders in Harry Jerome and Figueirola. His electronic time was 10.06, which converted to modern supersonic synthetic tracks hovers around 9.60 flat. And if we factor in the weather conditions.... And Hayes had a somewhat rudimentary running style. His presence on the highest athletics stage spanned some two to three years. He was 22-23 years old when he dropped out of athletics to join the Dallas Cowboy. In terms of raw speed, he is in a class of his own. And he was doing two sports at the same time in college.
I think this stats can really determine whether you have the fastest speed . 100 m dash needs time to reach top speed , it can tell whether you are the best 100m runner , but not whether u are the fastest
I think a prime Tyson Gay would've challenged that record, but the USA team hardly ever seemed to put him as the anchor leg in the 4x100. The USA relay team always seemed to shoot themselves in the foot by over thinking how to setup their teams. They seem to have it figured out now, tho, with Colman running the first leg, and Lyles running the anchor.
@@daviidon Just like I said five months ago, overthinking. You're definitely overthinking it with that "low center of gravity" talk. How has that low center of gravity type talk work out for the USA men's 4x100 team in the past. Sometimes it's just as simple as putting your best starter in the first leg, and putting your best finisher on the last leg. I watched Tyson Gay struggle to run that curve. He was a pure straight line sprinter. Of everyone that Bolt raced in his career, prime Tyson Gay was the only person that Bolt could never run down if he ever got in front. Their second and third gears were very similar. Tyson just always had a very terrible start.
@@DavidGonzalez-rc6ck He's the fastest option that team usa had for the curve. Also, I don't think Tyson is challenging that record. I think that 2011-2012 Blake, could've broken that record tho
There is no question that Hayes' run was the greatest. The track he ran his time in was like mud compared to the tracks in the last 40 years. Shoe technology has also been revolutionized in that time frame. It is ridiculous to compare athletes and records from different eras. Each super athlete was the best in his time, and technology changes that followed the earlier athletes completely changed the game. This applies to all sports. Can you imagine what NFL quarterbacks of past eras could have achieved if all their receivers wore the GLUE GLOVES that NFL receivers have worn for the past 20 years? Their completion percentages would have increased 15 to 20%. The circus catches that receivers make today are boring-it's the gloves that do 90% of the catching, not the hands.
Out of all the sprinters I have seen, Carl Lewis has to be the fastest sprinter with the most effortless style I have ever seen. It just looks like poetry in motion.
Bob Hayes was clocked at 8.5 to 8.6 seconds at 64 Tokyo Olympics,not 9.0 thats bull.He was also running on a moist cinder track.Hayes ran as fast as need be to win,undefeated in 49 consecutive sprints,60 yds.100 yds.100 meters,going into Tokyo,where he won every race there.He was the fastest then and fastest now.
The guy never lost.. And it was his side gig.. I stopped trying to figure out Bob Hayes years ago, except to say what you said.. He ran as fast as he needed to run.. We don’t know..
At one point the Jamaicans liked to give Bolt the third leg because he excelled running the curve. He said his favorite race was the 200 m, maybe for that reason.
@@fitveganathleteintegrateda1695 doesn't necessarily mean he ran it better. In his world record race in Berlin he ran the curve in 9.92 and was way ahead of the rest of the field but he paid for it in the last 100m, if he didn't run the curve so hard he could've ran sub 19.1 maybe under 19. Blake ran his 200m in 19.26 with a bad start, first 100m in 10.14 and last 100m in 9.12 (a full .15 ahead of bolts last 100m). Had he gotten a better reaction to the start Blake would have the world record in the 200m
@@elijahebbert6884 Blake didn't have a slow 100m split but a fast 200m split because he "didn't go as hard", he had a slow 100m split because his reaction time was shit lol. Usain starting off hard wouldn't have changed that much.
@@Skne91 Sorry but you are incorrect. They Both were 22 years old when they competed in the Olympics. Then they both quit track to go to the NFL. You have to check your facts before you post. Hines has 2 OFFICIAL 100M times faster than Bob's best. I really don't know why you are trying to quote a relay split. They are not official and Bob's was hand timed.
The Bob Hayes relay split you need to show was in the heats! not the final! he went even quicker in the heats where the USA team was losing worse than in the final. I think his time is 8.50 - 8.80 its very easily overlooked! and on cinder track , also didnt Hines run 8.9 in 68?
Also Bob Hayes was Running On Dirt tracks which is harder... Even Jessie Owens had a respectable time On dirt tracks... bob Hayes had to go under 9 flat....
Fantastic video! Where are you getting these splits from, and how exactly are they calculated? Example: an anchor leg getting the baton a meter early or later can skew splits
@@TheWayToWin yes, but these two lines are 20 meters away from each other !! And atheletes are allowed to exchange the batons at any point between these two lines . So it's an area of 20 meters exchange-baton. Means the atheletes in 100×4 can run 100m , less than 100m or more 100m.
The numbers are made up, Bolt did not run 8.65s, that number comes from a misunderstanding of where Bolt's foot landed in the footage of the 4x100m Men's World Championhip Final in Beijing in 2015, where Bolt actually ran 8.70, the video didn't even get the right race. Bolt ran about 8.94s in the Bahamas in 2015, even slowing down at the end when he realized he couldn't catch Bailey.
Good review anyways. I have watched Olympics well enough. Carl Lewis has the smoothest legs' moves I've ever seen in the history of Olympics. Bolt is the fastest of them all. Yohan Blake, to me, ran the fastest I've ever seen in the world of 4x100m relay during the London Olympics finals. He was a BULLET, talking about passion. That's what I see in The Man Blake👍.
BOB HAYES WAS THE ONLY "BULLET" IN TRACK HISTORY!! And he never took stuff to pump him up like they do today!! Yohan did blaze in that relay you're talking about, but for sheer out of the BLOCKS SPEED, MY BOY WOULD BE BULLET BOB HAYES!!!!Earl of EL BARRIO,NYC NY. 8:03PM 8/22/22
@@megamillionaire4suremillio594 Hayes was timed at 8.6 on a cinder track. There are a number of videos on TH-cam that attest to that. I don't know if you've ever run on cinders. I ran most of my races on cinders until the end of my racing days. Then, when I was well past my best, artificial tracks came in and would you believe it, my pb improved.
In the individual event, Hayes had the inside lane. This had been churned up by an earlier event and was much slower that the lanes of his competitors. But he still won by 2 meters
Hayes clocked 8.8, not 9.0 seconds. And he ran on a badly cut-up track in far from ideal weather conditions. The speed of the anchor leg also depends on how perfect and smooth the transmission is. To me, he's the greatest 100m sprinter of all time. What he did in Tokyo in 1964 is mindboggling. And he was doing two sports at the same time, athletics and American football.
It wouldn't still bolt record but i thing when you get a flying start from a 100meter mark to complete a 100 meter the 10meter split is faster so i thing human top speed is few more kmh faster than 44.72 kmh witch is equal to 0.805 or 0.81 10 /splits
In 2021 we saw two insane sub 9 splits Andre De Grasse on the 2021 4x100 relay in Gateshead with 8.9 You can time that run yourself And Tortu with an 8.81 in the Olympics Again you can time thay too
This will definitely be the first of Bolt's records to be broken. USA team is packed with talented people. If Coleman is competing and Bromell is indeed back to his best, I don't see any reason why USA can't break it next year.
Lyles is not a good starter so by the time he receives the button his problem of starting is already solved coz that time he is beginning to accelerate that's why he has the fastest split anchor leg
They used sensors in the baton to time the legs in 2015.. I dont believe Bolt ran 8.65 because he wasnt in top shape that year.. He didnt even gain more than a metre on Bailey(who was recorded at 8.87). He's the fastest man ever but i believe that leg wasnt that fast because he wasnt fast that year
@@TheWayToWin my eyes. I can see. The splits for the women were also doubtful. When the splits were published I recall the general consensus was that the device wasn't placed correctly.
@@bisoafuayaa74, unfortunately, there is no video where he crosses both lines to check the clocking. Judging by his tense finish, yes, the time seems somewhat doubtful.
Relay splits means nothing. It's a run start and depends on where you get the stick...lots of dude who can't even do much in an individual race split fast times smh
So basically Powell has the highest top speed coz he can run faster than Bolt with a moving start i.e relay race and Bolt is actually the fastest 100m sprinter because of his start not top speed as Powell is faster and both Powell and Carl Lewis are either faster or on par with Bolt in top speed.
Powell always had excellent starts except for finals when under pressure. Bolt famously doesn't have great starts, plus in this video it clearly says Bolt ran the fastest ever anchor leg in history.
Anonymous W Usain Bolt’s has probably the most fundamentally broken start form out of anyone in this entire level of competition😬Imagine how fast the time would be if he had halfway decent looking starts
8.65 second is the 4×100 anchor leg record but there also need to find split for 8.65 for each 10 meter split of 8.65 and the top speed for human not be 44.72 kmh is would be something faster
Yes, Bolt was capable of 45+ km/h, but he had no competition. His 44.72 km/h is claimed to be updated to 44.91, 10m split in 0.8015 seconds. Tyson Gay once ran 45 km/h even, but with illegal tailwind. As for the relay, 8.65 seconds are translated into 41.62 km/h on average.
@@EvilMonkey7818 It all depends on where they get the stick in the zone. The passing zone is 20m long. From the starting line to exactly mid zone is 100m. From mid zone to the next mid zone is 100m. From mid zone to the finish is 100m. So if you get the stick at rhe very end of the zone you could run as low as 91m on the anchor.
Bolt definitely had to not have great races in relays, otherwise i can''t understand how he has always been 0.1/0.15 faster than anyone on the 100m, standing still, where in the start he was at best as fast as the others, while on relay is a flying start, and Bolt top speed has always been higher than everyone else. Like powell best 100m is 9.72 but anchor leg 8.68, while bolt 9.58 and 8.65. Seems kinda off
@@PhysiqueHalo hope he was not suggesting that, as only the naive fail to realize that ALL elite level sports is powered by PEDs.... ALL!! and regular folks on youtube can take steroids too but will ultimately achieve nothing... it is not as easy as a pill.

Edit: I hope y'all know I'm talking about the 4x1 🤣🤣 I know he's still a bit off the 2
highly likely
Highly doubt it. 19.50 is a big difference to 19.19. It’ll be interesting if it does happen though
Not without Christian Coleman, and he's provisionally suspended right now.
In my opinion no
@@KoolKaiser both
Wait wait are they not wearing anything in 1:24
was a really hot day
Nobody can break bolts records
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
We will see
They used sensors in the baton to time the legs in 2015.. I dont believe Bolt ran 8.65 because he wasnt in top shape that year.. He didnt even gain more than a metre on Bailey(who was recorded at 8.87). He's the fastest man ever but i believe that leg wasnt that fast because he wasnt fast that year
I thought so too, but that's the time you can find on his official page.
If your talking 2012 he was in top shape
No one is talking about 2012.. Stop being a troll
Bolt had an injury setback in 2015 after those relays. He wasn't quite back to peak shape at the World Champs.
This video is 10 months already??? Wtf 😢
Should it be younger?
@@TheWayToWin sjajjajaj I mean, time flies, it seems like it was yesterday when you uploaded it
@@javiercastillo9373 ок
if 2009 Bolt anchored maybe a 8.60
No doubt
Et Bob Hayes 8.6 sur 100 m lancé ?
That 8.65 split in the Bahamas by Bolt is absolutely not legitimate.
why?
@@TheWayToWin my eyes. I can see. The splits for the women were also doubtful. When the splits were published I recall the general consensus was that the device wasn't placed correctly.
@@bisoafuayaa74, unfortunately, there is no video where he crosses both lines to check the clocking. Judging by his tense finish, yes, the time seems somewhat doubtful.
@@TheWayToWin And by the way he did not gain on Bailey. What was Bailey's split?
@@sydboski 8.8
I still don’t believe Usain Bolt ran 8.65 he made barely any ground up on Bailey that race and he was not in his prime anymore
Handoff exchange can be different (so ran less distance) plus it doesn’t include block starts
@@God-cm5xs it does not matter, the time is taken from line to line, exactly 100m.
The Way to Win line to line? But you get exchange in different spots everytime?
@@God-cm5xs you still run 100m and the stopwatch starts and stops when you cross the lines.
He still was in his prime
I think usain could've gone faster than he did if he didn't switch the baton from one hand to another.
Probably not.
Relay splits means nothing. It's a run start and depends on where you get the stick...lots of dude who can't even do much in an individual race split fast times smh
that is very interesting point of view
The real list is:
8.70s Bolt 2015 Beijing
8.78s Powell 2008 Beijing
8.83 Tortu 2021 Tokyo
8.85 Lyles 2019 Doha
8.88 Lewis 1983 Helsinki
Asfa did 8.68
Larid did 8.87
So basically Powell has the highest top speed coz he can run faster than Bolt with a moving start i.e relay race and Bolt is actually the fastest 100m sprinter because of his start not top speed as Powell is faster and both Powell and Carl Lewis are either faster or on par with Bolt in top speed.
Bolt has a higher top speed and he could potentially run 8.5 or faster but he was too tense when running 4x100 relays
Powell always had excellent starts except for finals when under pressure. Bolt famously doesn't have great starts, plus in this video it clearly says Bolt ran the fastest ever anchor leg in history.
Anonymous W Usain Bolt’s has probably the most fundamentally broken start form out of anyone in this entire level of competition😬Imagine how fast the time would be if he had halfway decent looking starts
8.65 second is the 4×100 anchor leg record but there also need to find split for 8.65 for each 10 meter split of 8.65 and the top speed for human not be 44.72 kmh is would be something faster
Yes, Bolt was capable of 45+ km/h, but he had no competition. His 44.72 km/h is claimed to be updated to 44.91, 10m split in 0.8015 seconds. Tyson Gay once ran 45 km/h even, but with illegal tailwind. As for the relay, 8.65 seconds are translated into 41.62 km/h on average.
There is a time when someone will run a sprint that nobody can beat, you cannot keep dropping to 0 seconds, that probably already happened with Bolt!
Obviously Carl Lewis was the best anchor leg compared to his 100m.
The way to win isn't the fastest Bend Leg Yohan Blake in 2012 or 2011 he was flying wasn't that the fastest leg split on the bend
It wasn't. The split shows Tyson Gay was faster. It look liked Blake was winning because he was in the inner lane. I was shocked at first too.
@@StandardEnglish No way was Gay faster than Blake in the 2012 relay that’s gotta be wrong
Asafa Powell will go down as the most underrated sprinter in history... despite breaking the 100m world record TWICE!!!!
He will go down in history as one of the greatest sprinters who never won an individual gold medal at the Olympics
Justin gatlin best relay guy ever period
Ronald Porterfield BOB HAYES fastest human EVER!!
Powell was fantastic & most talked about sprinter b4 Bolt came along so yes, very underrated indeed
Twice? How about 4 TIMES!!
I still say Gatlin's 2nd leg at London 2012 was faster. I got him at 8.6.
he clocked 8.8 when he anchored the team to the final
Pretty sure electronic timing is more accurate than yours
I like Hussein bolt but there are rumors he did steroids therefore it's hard to really accept the fact he broke as many records as he did clean
Carl Lewis, Barcelona 1992? 8.5? He didn't jump, just go forward, horizontally, like in a zero-gravity world.
What about de grasse...???🤔
In my point of view he is better than Usain Bolt in 4×100 relay
They dont run 100 m in relays
Wdym?
@@roasta9013 Due to the exchange zones being so long, the 3rd and 4th legs actually run a little under 100m
@@EvilMonkey7818 It all depends on where they get the stick in the zone. The passing zone is 20m long. From the starting line to exactly mid zone is 100m. From mid zone to the next mid zone is 100m. From mid zone to the finish is 100m. So if you get the stick at rhe very end of the zone you could run as low as 91m on the anchor.
Bolt definitely had to not have great races in relays, otherwise i can''t understand how he has always been 0.1/0.15 faster than anyone on the 100m, standing still, where in the start he was at best as fast as the others, while on relay is a flying start, and Bolt top speed has always been higher than everyone else. Like powell best 100m is 9.72 but anchor leg 8.68, while bolt 9.58 and 8.65. Seems kinda off
@@afrobuddy4801 you mean a 8.5? xd but yeah for sure, i forgot that in his prime he never ran the anchor leg
those records in the 1980s sadly dont mean that much
why not?
@@TheWayToWin I think he's suggesting that the records shouldn't matter because Lewis has failed drugs tests
@@PhysiqueHalo hope he was not suggesting that, as only the naive fail to realize that ALL elite level sports is powered by PEDs.... ALL!! and regular folks on youtube can take steroids too but will ultimately achieve nothing... it is not as easy as a pill.
Hayes ran on a dirt track.
We need women fastest leg too
Excellent call Michael! Although the great French female sprinter Christine Arron and United States' own fabulous Carmelita Jeter will undoubtedly head the list, it would make for great sports information.
@@granvillewalkerjr4321 Jeter ran 9.70 during the WR 40.82 run.
@@sydboski I know all too well brother. I still watch it in replay even now. That performance and the women's Seoul 1988 sprint relay team are the finest victories our sisters have ever compiled in the history of the Summer Games IMHO.

@@Ben05866 well I can't wait for that
@@Ben05866 nice joke
@@Ben05866 I have seen them run. Trayvon Bromell doesn't look like a sub 9.8 runner. Coleman doesn't have a good ending in his races. And Noah lyles major problem has always been his starts. Noah lyles with a great start looks more like a sub 9.7 sprinter
I dont think carl lewis times were legal , he had a unfair advantage of running with twice the allowed men genes.
