The actual race (starts at 1:10) and after reaction from Michael Johnson etc on this stunning stunning run!!! Plus short trackside talk with Usain Bolt.
Has there ever been a track star that got so much respect all over the world from every nation? When have you ever seen an athlete get roars like that from people who aren't the athletes countryman? When Bolt runs the whole world wants him to win, that's how special he is
You are right Jamie, I'm yet to meet the person who has bad things to say about the guy.. Much respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 to the Jamaican 🇯🇲 and in fact world 🗺 legend
@Joe Bloggs I know how you feel bro, to have this guy so popular & you're only a hater in TH-cam maybe still in your mom's basement, I might have done the same to get attention too, if I were a basement person .
Love Michael’s line ‘the person who will break those records, probably hasn’t been born yet’. Imagine being that much of a sprinting legend. Or any kind of legend. No one on this planet is better than me. Mind blowing achievements.
In 9 seasons from 2008 to 2016, Usain Bolt was the undisputed and untouchable ruler of the sprint disciplines. At 3 Olympic Games and 4 World Championships that took place during that period, he won 6 gold medals in 100 m, 7 gold medals in 200 m, 7 gold medals in 4 x 100 m - a total of 20 gold medals, he is the owner of the current incredible world records in 100 m, 200 m and 4 x 100 m, he broke other people's and his own world records 6 times - achievements that no one has ever had and I doubt that anyone will ever have in the future. Usain Bolt is simply the greatest and best athlete of all time.
tbh it wasnt a good race since he rushed the first 100m with a 9.92(the only ever to do a sub 10 seconds 100m on 200m race) meaning his next 100m wasn't as fast as he was capable of. with a better race distribution he probably would have got closer to a 19.10 or below
More like Gatlin had perseverance, Blake had talent (and strength), Gay had pure speed. You're right about Bolt though-pure freak of nature. So obviously different to anybody before or since
Bolt was very special. Athletes like him only come along maybe every 50 years or so. Bolt‘s performances were Beamonesque in both the 100m and the 200m. That’s about as high praise as it gets. Beamon is still ranked #2 all-time in the LJ more than 50 years later! We might see the same situation for Bolt in not one, but two events!!
Yes, that's a very good point. It takes a person of real humility to see your own record broken and then praise the person who did it, while being sincere about it. While Bolt is clearly a phenomenon, I still rate Johnson's 19.32 as the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
@Andre's Sodoval I wouldnt go that far. Yohan Blake has run 19.26. For the 200M..It might take 25 years. But some SUPREME athelete will come along. And put it all together one day.
It's not even the fact that he was tired that amazes me the most. Tired can be overcome for a short time by adrenaline. The fact that his technique really wasn't very good for most of this race and still he set a world record is just insane.
10 years gone, and nobody close. Nobody even on the horizon. Guys winning championships in 9.8 and 19.8. It’s going to be a while. Lyles is fast, but this is on another level.
Dude people dont even really get close to Michael Johnson’s record for at least 5-10 years and Bolts record is way below that. I wont even be alive when people BEGIN to appreciate just how crazy Bolts records are its insane.

It’s probably safe for another decade at least. Possibly much longer. Winning time for the 200 in Tokyo 2020 was 19.62 and the fastest time this year so far is 19.52. And that’s on faster surfaces and with souped up shoe tech, and still over 0.3 secs off Bolt’s record. Ridiculous.

@@valerie_dyeah, yeah white man facts...you folks make up stuff just to make yourselves look and feel good. U can't accept truth because for centuries you were lied to and told you were better... Yeah, only when we weren't allowed to compete.
Usain Bolt has been an outstanding representative for track & field. Nothing is better for the sport than the world records being held by someone who's remained clean throughout their career
I bet an American (Justin Gatlin) takes both the 100 and 200 in the world championships this year. For the past year Jamaicans have been nowhere to be found
Man, every time I see Bolt run it reminds me of how I felt when he did it live! This is the greatest track and field athlete to ever live! His records will NEVER be broken I believe!
I watch Usain run is first race and I told my kid's that he is going to be a star, he grow up to be a grate man God bless and keep him in whatever he does.
Watching this still sends shivers down my spine. I remember watching this live. That ultra silenced crowd getting louder and louder as the race went on. Brilliant!
Well, that comment was really stupid.. There are millions of kids under 10 e.g. and we have no idea how they will perform when they have reached puberty. It implies that he both can read the future and keep track of every single fucking kid in the world. See how stupid that is?
BadTrip I will take Johnson verdict over yours anytime... A Champion understands the sport more than mere on looker like you... MJ was right, "the person that will break the record is yet to be born". And it is 10 years already!!! Open-minded MJ...
@@azynkron It's not really a stupid comment at all, simply an educated guess. Michael Johnson himself was the world record holder in the 200m from 1996 to 2008, it took over a decade for anybody to beat his time. To my knowledge, since 1996 only 2 people have run the distance quicker than Johnson did in Atlanta; Bolt has done it at least twice, possibly 3 or 4 times and Yohann Blake has gone sub 19:30 once, (I think he did a 19:26 run). That's how rare runs of this speed are; even the greatest athletes can only manage a few in their careers; for it to happen conditions, preparation etc have to be just right. (Unless you're Bolt who could run sub 19:40 for fun). It took 12 years for anybody to emerge who could beat Johnson's 1996 time until Bolt did so in his early 20s. Bolt's run here shattered Johnson's record and the only person to come close to that since has not been able to post a comparable time for years (and was defeated by Bolt in all major competitions). It's now been 11 years and counting since this run and nobody is currently challenging it.
I like the part where Michael Johnson comments about Bolt running without technique. He must be a natural talent like has never been seen before. Amazing.
The white guy is already a winner to begin with, hes already a world class runner and one of the fastest in the world, the very fact hes gotten this far and has gone to the olympics is testament to this, a color of skin gives no man credit nor does it make him deserve more recognition
What is crazy is he looked like he was walking the last 10-15 yards. It was like a cakewalk for him. He made the other guys look like kids running on the playground. Insane speed!
For me, this is probably the most perfect sprint race I've ever seen, even more than the 100m. The bend he runs may never be seen again, it's just a dream. The fact he simply kept moving away from them was staggering, and those guys were almost all sub-20 seconds! Given he'd already smashed his own 100m record beforehand, this was even better. 200m used to be my race at college, so maybe I'm biased, but just great to watch. Just wonderful. As Steve Cram said "nineteen-point-two seconds, you've got to be kidding me!", and even then it became 19.19. Thank you for the fantastic memories, Usain Bolt.
Have to politely disagree with that. he's a world class athlete, the greatest SPRINTER ever, but not the greatest athlete, we'd need to see how he'd do in few more events, and different ones for us to make that declaration, the best athlete currently is Ashton Eaton, and he's probably the best athlete ever at this point.
Incredibly inspiring -- Bolt's performance so far beyond belief, the other finalists still incredibly fast, and Michael Johnson's praise and admiration for the guy that had just taken his incredible record.
Loved this dude!!!! So much fun to watch. I swear sometimes Bolt would stop for tea and photo opps before crossing the line. Destroys the WR and wasn't even in his top form.....I love it.
Bolt wasn't racing against the other runners on the track, he was racing against the future sprinters, "Top this, kids!!" Let's see how long the record will stand. Maybe not in my life time the day comes.
This run is even more impressive to me than his 9.58 100m. And I didn't think that was possible. His last 30m where he bursts forward is a joy to behold.
reporter: " does anybody else have chances tonight? " MJ: " No, they cant. Comletely different athlete, completely different level, never seen one like him, no one out there can compete. Its just not possible."
They test Usain Bolt all the time and he does not dope, he stated in a interview that he only takes over the counter vitamins. He has been running low 20s from teenage years so for all you people accusing him of doping, you need to actually watch Usain's story because it's stupid how you could think he's doping.

@TheDendra7 yeah, whatever say...pure facts eh? You folks were winning everything when the black man couldn't compete or was robbed blind. So, now tbe gate is opened for the best, not the palest we win everything. Juiced...Joker.😅
@@valerie_dyeah, yeah white man facts...you folks make up stuff just to make yourselves look and feel good. U can't accept truth because for centuries you were lied to and told you were better... Yeah, only when we weren't allowed to compete.
Usain Bolt has been an outstanding representative for track & field. Nothing is better for the sport than the world records being held by someone who's remained clean throughout their career
At this point we're going to have to genetically engineer humans to beat his records
jelaninoel This is so true man LOL It's just unfair
jelaninoel what exactly do you think Usain Bolt is bro?
its true
jelaninoel or just get him to impregnate every woman in the world
Peds are obviously what won. You can even look at his race times from before the peds and after.
Micheal Johnson: The person that will break those records has not been born yet. 13 yrs later and Bolt's records are still untouchable!
This man ran 2.2 football fields in 19.19 seconds
Why is it that every time I see this guy in a race he look like he is jogging?
His extremely long strides make it look like he's jogging, notice how the others legs are moving very fast due to smaller stride length.
chan1626 He is
No he is actually jogging, he can because he has longer strides
chan1626 Coz he's using less effort for maximum results.
I bet an American (Justin Gatlin) takes both the 100 and 200 in the world championships this year. For the past year Jamaicans have been nowhere to be found

This is the greatest athlete of All time kids. See you in 10years time😅😅
Man, every time I see Bolt run it reminds me of how I felt when he did it live! This is the greatest track and field athlete to ever live! His records will NEVER be broken I believe!
Soo nostalgic... damn near shed a tear watching this again...Glad to have lived in the time of this GOAT!
PREACH IT !
For all Usain Bolt exploits and world records, I have massive respect for Michael Johnson as he too is a humble and nice guy in athletics.
After Johnson brought the record down so much I thought he'd have it for at least 20 years, but 13 is pretty damn exceptional.
When usain bolt runs other competes fr silver. Simply legend👏🙌 9.58 & 19.19 will never be broken in this decade
I watch Usain run is first race and I told my kid's that he is going to be a star, he grow up to be a grate man God bless and keep him in whatever he does.
Youll never know....
Announcer: i don’t think he’s gonna break the record
Usain Bolt: I’m about to end this mans whole career
@Matt Was Taken you made me 😂
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s done more for track and field than anyone else, need more characters like Bolt.
Well not really for field but defo track
Absolutely love track events. This guy is a true legend. Phenomenal athlete.
Watching this still sends shivers down my spine. I remember watching this live. That ultra silenced crowd getting louder and louder as the race went on. Brilliant!
MJ- The person who will break Bolt's records hasn't been born yet.. That's a crazy statement when you actually think about it. WOW
Well, that comment was really stupid.. There are millions of kids under 10 e.g. and we have no idea how they will perform when they have reached puberty. It implies that he both can read the future and keep track of every single fucking kid in the world. See how stupid that is?
@@azynkron Shut up
The sad thing is there are probably few people that are faster than bolt but never got the chance to prove themselves.
BadTrip I will take Johnson verdict over yours anytime... A Champion understands the sport more than mere on looker like you... MJ was right, "the person that will break the record is yet to be born". And it is 10 years already!!!
Open-minded MJ...
@@azynkron It's not really a stupid comment at all, simply an educated guess. Michael Johnson himself was the world record holder in the 200m from 1996 to 2008, it took over a decade for anybody to beat his time.
To my knowledge, since 1996 only 2 people have run the distance quicker than Johnson did in Atlanta; Bolt has done it at least twice, possibly 3 or 4 times and Yohann Blake has gone sub 19:30 once, (I think he did a 19:26 run). That's how rare runs of this speed are; even the greatest athletes can only manage a few in their careers; for it to happen conditions, preparation etc have to be just right. (Unless you're Bolt who could run sub 19:40 for fun).
It took 12 years for anybody to emerge who could beat Johnson's 1996 time until Bolt did so in his early 20s. Bolt's run here shattered Johnson's record and the only person to come close to that since has not been able to post a comparable time for years (and was defeated by Bolt in all major competitions). It's now been 11 years and counting since this run and nobody is currently challenging it.
I like the part where Michael Johnson comments about Bolt running without technique. He must be a natural talent like has never been seen before. Amazing.
Bolt himself admitted that in the interview and attributed it to fatigue.
Wow! I had to come back to watch this in August 2021 after the Olympics just to remind myself what fast is. Lightening Bolt ⚡
a legend. always ready to shine on the big stage. a man for the greatest of moments. glad to have been around to enjoy them
The real winner is the white guy who wasnt last
+Joshy Song Nice catch lol
No
Yes
lol😂
The white guy is already a winner to begin with, hes already a world class runner and one of the fastest in the world, the very fact hes gotten this far and has gone to the olympics is testament to this, a color of skin gives no man credit nor does it make him deserve more recognition
Michael Johnson is world class and respectful. Wish more people were like him.
Tell that to Donovan Bailey...
What is crazy is he looked like he was walking the last 10-15 yards. It was like a cakewalk for him. He made the other guys look like kids running on the playground. Insane speed!
For me, this is probably the most perfect sprint race I've ever seen, even more than the 100m. The bend he runs may never be seen again, it's just a dream. The fact he simply kept moving away from them was staggering, and those guys were almost all sub-20 seconds! Given he'd already smashed his own 100m record beforehand, this was even better. 200m used to be my race at college, so maybe I'm biased, but just great to watch.
Just wonderful. As Steve Cram said "nineteen-point-two seconds, you've got to be kidding me!", and even then it became 19.19.
Thank you for the fantastic memories, Usain Bolt.
He slowed down for future WR!
Today is the day
nope
+Rahim ElKeiser when?
He just won the 200m
lol there aint gonna BE a world record
God, that margin of victory lol.
Very simply said... yes I know, just crazy lol
7/10 of a second.. Crazy
Like Secretariat at Belmont.
One of if not the GREATEST moment in the HISTORY of track and field...glad I was able to witness it!
I remember watching this with my family and we were all speechless and completely blown away with goosebumps all over!!
Quite simply the greatest athlete ever. So dominant it's embarrassing.
So dominant its awe inspiring what the human race can do. Not embarrassing at all.
Have to politely disagree with that. he's a world class athlete, the greatest SPRINTER ever, but not the greatest athlete, we'd need to see how he'd do in few more events, and different ones for us to make that declaration, the best athlete currently is Ashton Eaton, and he's probably the best athlete ever at this point.
He reminds me of Mohammed Ali (may his soul rest in peace) devastating confidence!!
They both had the bite in thier field to back up thier bark
Ali is Bolt's idol
And this is casually recommended to me 12 years later. Gotta love the internet :)
Bolt is the G.O.A.T
This will never be broken
Nope…at least not in our lifetimes
Ato Boldon on Bolt, "there is no way you can watch a 17 year old run 19.93 for 200 meters with that kind of ease and not know whats coming"
Micheal Johnson was the man at this distance and he crushed the field in his day.
Usain takes it to new level.
Iam never tired of seeing this guy on the track so amazing he is well missed 👏👏👏
Incredibly inspiring -- Bolt's performance so far beyond belief, the other finalists still incredibly fast, and Michael Johnson's praise and admiration for the guy that had just taken his incredible record.
He crossed the line at 18.90 and not 19.19.
Who's here right before the 2016 Rio Olympics? This man is a legend. Wow
Can't Wait Couple more weeks till the Races bro!
+ATL_Gwinnett same
..a few more days till the races
here!
just a few more hours now
Loved this dude!!!! So much fun to watch. I swear sometimes Bolt would stop for tea and photo opps before crossing the line. Destroys the WR and wasn't even in his top form.....I love it.
Its worth reliving this moment every so often
Same here with both Beijing in 2008 and London four years later.
This is the first time I’ve seen Bolt ran all out and pushed himself that hard, well done.
He makes me proud to be Jamaican 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💚🖤🖤
WOW WOW WOW !!!! The best runner in our world! Fantastic!
Absolute legend....inspirational performance
2 meters clear, 3 meters clear, 5 meters clear.. and away he goes!! Gets me everytime. Sad to see you go Bolt. Forever a Legend
Bolt wasn't racing against the other runners on the track, he was racing against the future sprinters, "Top this, kids!!"
Let's see how long the record will stand.
Maybe not in my life time the day comes.
10 YEARS! WE watch this OVER AND OVER again! WE miss USAIN SERIOUS TRACK💖💖
Bolt was Greatest Showman in Athletics. An GOAT in Athletics as well. Pure joy to watch !!
Despite what was said about him 'giving his all' he let up for the last four strides. He had legitimate sub 19 second potential...
This run is even more impressive to me than his 9.58 100m. And I didn't think that was possible. His last 30m where he bursts forward is a joy to behold.
his first 100m is more impressive than the last one
reporter: " does anybody else have chances tonight? "
MJ: " No, they cant. Comletely different athlete, completely different level, never seen one like him, no one out there can compete. Its just not possible."
Steve Cram's commentary is so perfectly pitched. It's wonderful
Most naturally gifted athlete in history.
You can’t change my mind
Ahhh Unagi Leo Messi is more naturally gifted imo.
@@WorldLeader12345 You aren't born with an ability to play soccer. But you can be born fast
@@WorldLeader12345 messi is overrated, he always choking lol usain bolt dont choke. you are an idiot
They test Usain Bolt all the time and he does not dope, he stated in a interview that he only takes over the counter vitamins. He has been running low 20s from teenage years so for all you people accusing him of doping, you need to actually watch Usain's story because it's stupid how you could think he's doping.
he is doping
Javier Rodriguez Every time you win they test you I hope you know.
Tests are far from infallible
Fusionn hes doping dude.many of them dope then admit it later.half his team9and females)have been caught
***** Gatlin is definitely doping
Always remember watching this live and the brilliant commentary
Usain gave us a gift that I think will be rare in ever seeing again! His time in the 200m is simply mind blowing! Next level beyond imagination!
