I dated this Jamaican girl back in the early 2000s and she went to high school with Asafa Powell.. All she would tell me was how this guy at her school runs so fast etc, she kept telling me his name etc, a few years later I saw the man himself 😂 breaking records before Bolt came onto the scene.
Damn Powell got a good start if only he did not stop he would have beaten Gatlin and would end up in 3rd same as Gay might end up in 3rd instead of Powell in 3rd
@@hydraxhcr2202 , you are talking filth dude, Powell wasnt in the shape he used to be in . The most he would have came in that race was 5th again behind tyson gay.
While Powell is fourth fastest all-time, he has the most sub 10 second 100m times in history by far. He is considered by many to be the most naturally gifted sprinter with textbook start and drive phases. Seemingly able to run 9 seconds in any condition he will be ironically remembered as the most disappointing sprinter in big finals, unable to win a single world title.
To have been born with today's shoes, tracks, knowledge, technology and training. Take Bob Hayes from 1964, give him all the above, and he beats everyone, save Bolt.
It's exciting to watch all of them race in the same event. It happened in London 2012 Olympic final : 1. Bolt 9.63 2. Blake 9.75 3. Gatlin 9.79 4. Gay 9.80 .... 8. Powel 11.99
Powell tore his hamstring at 60m and still crossed the line at 11.99 in London 2012. Just how fast was he moving? That race, and the 800m that happened in the same day, will never be forgotten.
He got a chance to beat Bolt early on. Y'all forget Bolt was running the 400m/200m first. He wasn't even the fastest 400m runner in is country. However that early 400m training helps.

@@Pumpxkin Blake ran faster than Bolt over the 200m when you factor out reaction times. He covers the distance quicker. Also his 9.69 PR was into a headwind, the only sprinter in the top 20 historical times to have set a PB into a headwind.
I always liked how aggressive tyson gay's max speed phase was, it seemed as if he was running away from a predator, the way he moved his arms when sprinting was so powerful, i think the best word you can use to describe it is just 'aggressive'.
These 5 men reminds me of the former 5 elite sprinters in early 1990s : Carl Lewis, Leroy Burell, Dennis Mitchell, Linford Christie and Frankie Fredericks. At WC 1991 final in Tokyo, for the 1st time in history, in the final at major event , there are 6 sprinters that ran under 10 secs : 1. Lewis 9.86 new WR 2. Burell 9.88 3. Mitchell 9.91 4. Christie 9.92 5. Fredericks 9.95 6. Raymond Stewart 9.96 That is one of my fav moments in athletic.
@@afrobuddy4801 Everyone was on something in the '88 Olympics, some got caught, some didn't. If everyone is on something & someone wins, that winner is still the best athlete. Carl was great at the 100, but he never ran as fast as Ben's PB. Even not including Ben, Lewis didn't dominate the way Bolt did, he didn't run a time that a decade later nobody has been within 0.1 of, he didn't win races while shutting down before the line, he didn't win as many Golds in a row at Olympics for that event. In no modern era sprinting has there been anyone as dominant as Bolt.
@@richardgallimore5976 Carl lewis won 5 100m gold and 1 200m gold at major events and a WR. Ben johnson just won 1 100m bronze. He was stripped of his WR and gold in 88. I consider Carl Lewis to be the 3rd greatest sprinter after Bolt and MJ. Ben Johnson doesn't even make my top 20.
1:14 I never saw a 100 m race with eight sprinters wearing almost the same. And in the right moment at 1:20 all eight men are not touching the ground. Cool.
I think that IAAF should cosider Yohan Blake faster than Tyson Gay because Yohan Blake race was -0.1 wind assited and Tyson Gay race was +2.0 wind assited so technically Yohan Blake is faster than Tyson Gay.
The IAAF set the maximum legal wind limit at 2.0. So you cannot penalize a runner who ran a specific time at the maximum wind reading. Also on their list ties are listed chronologically. Mainly because if runner A breaks a world record and runner B comes later and ties it, (no matter what the legal wind reading is) runner A still will be listed first. Runner B will be listed second but credited with the tie. Even though runner B did not break any record.
The negative wind is more favorable than the wind assistance time, it's just common sense and scientific... So Yohan is number 2 fastest ever, with the shared time...
View Master Yes Tyson had more favorable conditions, but Blake did not run faster. You can only put someone over an established time/spot if they run faster. Since Blake did not run faster he will be listed under Tyson. When/If he runs faster, he will get the lone spot as second fastest. So, as of right now he is tied with, and will be listed after Tyson,
+sydboski I never said Blake ran faster sir... Blake time was achieved with a head wind impeding him to the line. When you calculate the negative wind Blake's time would've been 9.64 or 9.65 seconds... Tyson Gay time with the tail wind pushing him at 2.00 mps, would've been around 9.78 seconds.... The IAAF experiment of wind calculated that a tailwind of 2.00 mps equates to .10 hundredths of a seconds assistance with faster times.... Had Yohan got the same tailwind of 2.00 mps, his time could have been nearing the present world record.... Kabish....
@@rogermartin798 Actually, in Tokyo in October 1964, Hayes ran an 8.9 last leg 4x100 in 3rd place to catch the Russian for the win. When he ran and won the 100m, they gave him lane 1 that was chewed up from the steeplechase earlier plus he was wearing boxer Joe Frazier's shoes because he left his at the residence hall. I attended college with Bob and he was natural and always ran as fast as he needed to win. Once he lost a race to fellow Florida A&M track mate Bob Paremore and swore that would never happen again. It didn't!
Yes, " Bullet " Bob Hayes. I'm remember him. Besides playing for the Dallas Cowboys, held the World Record in his day, 1960s, in the 100 yd (and not the 100 meter) sprint: 9.1sec. The 100 meters is a little longer at 28 ft , so extrapolating roughly, he would have run anywhere from a 9.8 to 9.9 sec 100 meter. That was well over 50 years ago, when training techniques, shoe technology (for sure) were not nearly as advanced as today. No doubt he could've improved under today's training regimens, technology. Bullet Bob could've given today's sprinters a heck uv a challenge. Could run with the best of them.
I have always thought if bolt prefers not to slow down closer to finish line he can still better his own record....damn ...what an athlete...phenomenal.
Thanks for making the distinction between Blake's and Gay's 9.69 seconds. Gay had a +2.0 wind at his back while Blake had a -0.1 wind in his face; much more impressive!
Its been 9 years after this upload and there’s no need to update the video with new names because these 5 were supremely ahead of all the previous and future competitors!!! Unbelievable era. Thank you Bolt, Blake, Gay, Asafa, and Galtin!!!
When I was in elementary I was the fastest runner with a time of 15.78 I was crazy about running. Of course I wanted to just party and smoke like my peers. Now I am drinking watching this wishing I stuck with it who knows??
@D and Z Believe what you want, I mean just because you don't/didn't see it doesn't mean it's real or unreal like the mighty God everybody has the right to believe. Right?
Nah I prefer Bolt's running style from 2008-2011. It look so natural and effortless. I find a lot of sprinters including asafa have very robotic running style but Bolt just looks like he was built for sprinting.
Usain Bolt❤️ the GOAT... maybe there'll be someone better than him in generations to come but he gave us, the people of his generation, the greatest memories to cherish for some time to come❤️
After Bolt set the records in ‘09, Michael Johnson said the person to break them hasn’t been born yet. Right so far! I doubt the 4x100 will be broken anytime soon.
You see the guy who came out last in the races quite a bit behind but then you see they did it in 10.something seconds and then I'm like damn they fast af also
Lebrah Mentomb exempt for Bolt. Crazy how the only one of the top sprinters of all time who didn’t take steroids was the one who was the fastest of them all. By a lot.
Around a decade later and I don't really see a high level of sprinting compared to this previous era. I thought it was gonna go up in performance but turns out this was simply a unique generation of runners.
What’s strange is that Gatlin, Powell, Blake, Gay all tested positive. Yet the man who beat them all and holds the WR was clean. Out of the top 52 times in history, no athlete has ever run clean, except from Bolt You have to go back to Trayvon Bromell or Lamont Jacobs who ran 0.2 seconds below their personal bests in a race (i mentioned this because it isn’t normal) History doesn’t shine the best light when we look at athletes from yesteryear who dominated when their competitors were doping. We seem to think Usain was a genuine athlete but jt takes an incredible leap of faith to think the best athletes in the world couldn’t get anywhere near him even whist doping.
Bolt was able to beat them because he was a unicorn of a runner. He was massive but had the agility of the smaller guys, making him the perfect running body and not needing to dope to be the best
I’ve heard this argument. The sport is athletics in its most raw form. His record is so far away from a clean time, that it requires too much of a leap from me
There were several years during Bolts career where the Jamaican doping authorities never completed a single out of competition test. Since that point. Carter, Powell, Pryce, Blake etc have all tested positive Not Bolt
Bolt put athletics on the world map. Everyone wanted to watch a Bolt race even if it was just an IAAF Diamond League race. Once he retired, the popularity plummeted. I dare say that most people don't even know who won the 100m, 200m and 4X100m at last Olympic Games.
I’ve seen logarithmic graphs that project the fastest time will be 9.48 but that it won’t happen for over 300 years. Interestingly, these graphs were made when the WR was Greene’s 9.79 and it was assumed that the WR progression would proceed logarithmically. According to this assumption the next WR sprinter wasn’t supposed to appear until around 2015-2020. So the appearance of five guys going below 9.79 by 2009 was obviously a surprise. Bolts 9.58 was 100 years ahead of schedule according to the logarithmic interpretation of a graph which plots the 100m progression from 1912. However, if an exponential trend is fitted to the data it predicts that the record will fall to 9.69 by 2015 and to 9.58 by 2025. So we see Bolt is an outlier even when assuming exponential progress, the times of Gatlin, Powell, Gay, and Blake however all conform nicely to the exponential model. If the exponential progression of the 100m WR continues we can expect the fastest man possible to compete in the 2040’s
After the 2012 season not a single runner has ran faster than Tyson Gay's 2nd place of 9.71. I'd even say Tyson Gay's run was insane, Bolt's was other worldly!
@@afrobuddy4801 What do you mean arbitrary? 9.71 is the time Tyson Gay ran when he got 2nd to Bolt's 9.58. It just goes to show how good that era was, that no sprinters competing today can run faster than 9.71, despite that not being the first place time. Basically nobody is even on the level below the level Bolt was at.
Due to the financial compensation structure of professional track and field I think Bolt screwed himself out of a faster time (though made more money). Huge bonuses are awarded for each WR break. If you leave everything on the track too early, you miss out on serious $$,$$$,$$$! Incremental record breaks (in the right high profile meets) get you the largest and most numerous payouts from meet organizers, endorsees, and sponsors. This is why he pulled up so often in his early career. Later when he went full-bore he had likely lost a step and we never saw his true fastest time.
@@Reformsqua ye but at the same time it's very hard to control ur run to this precision. Is something like weightlifting, lasha can just break the world record by 1kg at a time ez
@@richardgallimore5976 I agree. We have seen the best of Bolt. This holding back for WR times theory doesn't hold up. The only argument is that if he trained even harder and dedicated even more of his life to performing he may have done even better overall. But that's not who he is.
Powell destroyed the field with as much ease as Bolt did in the 2008 Olympics 100M final, he looked set to rule for a decade. He was a bit ignorant, not cunning and malicious about the 2014 doping ‘scandal’. That was a joke (supplement with obscure ingredient that lowers blood press). I believe the personal tragedy - deaths of 2 brothers, and injury messed up his performance trajectory before and after the 2008 Olympics.
These are top 5 fastest but i dont feel like these are top 5 greatest cuz i think Powell should be 2nd ever cuz he has the most sub 10 runs of all time by record margin i think he has 96 of them and 2nd guy has 51
Gatlin has some problem where he has to take Aderall medically, and I think it was kept lowkey so when they tested him he came out positive. Not doping. And yohan blake the homie, he doesn’t dope
You cannot rank sprinters by their best records. Their records are affected by their form at the time and wind speed. A better way to rank them is to average the results of their head to head meets.
Corey Barnes usain had the wind as well, watch it the commentator also said the wind was behind him, either way, they all had the wind so it doesnt matter
Jesse Owns 100m in Berlin was 10.3! That being said he ran in shit shoes a sandy tack that slowed him down. You put him in todays game and quantify the science he's right there!

Olympics 2012 100m final lineup was a blessing to all of us
Around a decade later and I don't really see a high level of sprinting compared to this previous era. I thought it was gonna go up in performance but turns out this was simply a unique generation of runners.
What’s strange is that Gatlin, Powell, Blake, Gay all tested positive.
Yet the man who beat them all and holds the WR was clean.
Out of the top 52 times in history, no athlete has ever run clean, except from Bolt
You have to go back to Trayvon Bromell or Lamont Jacobs who ran 0.2 seconds below their personal bests in a race (i mentioned this because it isn’t normal)
History doesn’t shine the best light when we look at athletes from yesteryear who dominated when their competitors were doping.
We seem to think Usain was a genuine athlete but jt takes an incredible leap of faith to think the best athletes in the world couldn’t get anywhere near him even whist doping.
Bolt was able to beat them because he was a unicorn of a runner. He was massive but had the agility of the smaller guys, making him the perfect running body and not needing to dope to be the best
I’ve heard this argument.
The sport is athletics in its most raw form.
His record is so far away from a clean time, that it requires too much of a leap from me
He probably used and never got caught. If he is natural .. imagine how fast he would be on juice LOL
There were several years during Bolts career where the Jamaican doping authorities never completed a single out of competition test.
Since that point. Carter, Powell, Pryce, Blake etc have all tested positive
Not Bolt
Yohan black is my favourite sprinter Powell running style is heart touching
Yohan Blakes legs are moving sooo fast. Incredible
Amazing the top 2 fastest times all came from running Tyson Gay. That's shows how much of a threat he was.
+eric gray druggieeeeeeeee
+eric gray lol am pretty sure that has little to do with it.
eric gray he was a drugster
I still remember when Blake challenge Usain Bolt and Bolt pay him like no one did….Usain bolt is legend…salute this man
It was a teammate / friendly / healthy challenge...
@@passit467 Yezz
Just realised Nesta Carter was in 4 of these races. Underrated sprinter.
That cheater made Bolt lose his Gold in 2008 Olympics relay.
@@ALARGADORDECUshut
He was the 6th fastest human at the time 😂
Bolt put athletics on the world map. Everyone wanted to watch a Bolt race even if it was just an IAAF Diamond League race. Once he retired, the popularity plummeted. I dare say that most people don't even know who won the 100m, 200m and 4X100m at last Olympic Games.
what's the soundtrack
Bolt's 9.58 was just insane. It looks like t wont be surpassed in the near future. Especially given that he was never able to surpass it himself.
I’ve seen logarithmic graphs that project the fastest time will be 9.48 but that it won’t happen for over 300 years. Interestingly, these graphs were made when the WR was Greene’s 9.79 and it was assumed that the WR progression would proceed logarithmically. According to this assumption the next WR sprinter wasn’t supposed to appear until around 2015-2020. So the appearance of five guys going below 9.79 by 2009 was obviously a surprise. Bolts 9.58 was 100 years ahead of schedule according to the logarithmic interpretation of a graph which plots the 100m progression from 1912. However, if an exponential trend is fitted to the data it predicts that the record will fall to 9.69 by 2015 and to 9.58 by 2025. So we see Bolt is an outlier even when assuming exponential progress, the times of Gatlin, Powell, Gay, and Blake however all conform nicely to the exponential model. If the exponential progression of the 100m WR continues we can expect the fastest man possible to compete in the 2040’s
After the 2012 season not a single runner has ran faster than Tyson Gay's 2nd place of 9.71. I'd even say Tyson Gay's run was insane, Bolt's was other worldly!
@@richardgallimore5976 why did you choose an arbitrary 9.71
@@afrobuddy4801 What do you mean arbitrary? 9.71 is the time Tyson Gay ran when he got 2nd to Bolt's 9.58. It just goes to show how good that era was, that no sprinters competing today can run faster than 9.71, despite that not being the first place time. Basically nobody is even on the level below the level Bolt was at.
Es superable porque bolt no tenia un buen arranque, creo el limite es 9,30
Asafa the sub ten king. That dig phase is sublime then it's legs.
Dat funky music though man, is the good shit right here
The 5 fastest men in history:
1.Bolt
2.Bolt
3.Bolt
4.Bolt
5.Bolt
That’s only one person.
Darren Shaw Bolt is a hell of an athlete but his fanbase are such wankers lmao
dut dut 2.0 mate I am not in any fan base I have no interest in sprinting but he is just head and shoulders above the rest
He's actually just the 3 fastest men in history.
Gravinboginagis doesn’t mean you have to suck him off
Due to the financial compensation structure of professional track and field I think Bolt screwed himself out of a faster time (though made more money). Huge bonuses are awarded for each WR break. If you leave everything on the track too early, you miss out on serious $$,$$$,$$$! Incremental record breaks (in the right high profile meets) get you the largest and most numerous payouts from meet organizers, endorsees, and sponsors. This is why he pulled up so often in his early career. Later when he went full-bore he had likely lost a step and we never saw his true fastest time.
@@Reformsqua ye but at the same time it's very hard to control ur run to this precision. Is something like weightlifting, lasha can just break the world record by 1kg at a time ez
I agree
@@Tom-vu1wr bolt was not like others
He ran all the way through the line during his 9.58 & that was his peak season in 100m & 200m. We did already see his best.
@@richardgallimore5976 I agree. We have seen the best of Bolt. This holding back for WR times theory doesn't hold up. The only argument is that if he trained even harder and dedicated even more of his life to performing he may have done even better overall. But that's not who he is.
Gatlin has a powerful upper body strength, amazing...❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲
A best and all that fast as running a congratulations 👍👍👍👍.
they would have ran a relay together to see the fastest time in history
Powell destroyed the field with as much ease as Bolt did in the 2008 Olympics 100M final, he looked set to rule for a decade. He was a bit ignorant, not cunning and malicious about the 2014 doping ‘scandal’. That was a joke (supplement with obscure ingredient that lowers blood press). I believe the personal tragedy - deaths of 2 brothers, and injury messed up his performance trajectory before and after the 2008 Olympics.
Always been a Tyson Gay fan, love his power running style plus he has that top end speed
Yes it looks like he’s still accelerating at the 80m mark. Watching his turnover at the 2009 100 finals looked like sonic the hedghog
@@Reformsqua Definitely like Sonic, that's how fast his legs are going lol
@@laftw93 What if Tyson Gay had the start of Bolt? It would be an epic race for top end. Tyson's top end just beats blake powell and gatlin.
@@Pumpxkin If he had the start of any of the guys you mentioned he'd be a potential world record holder/olympic champ/world champ etc
Bob Hayes. 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Men's 4 x 100 relay final.
I'm biased to donovan bailey 😂
The fastest man is actually the cameraman.
bangin tune mate
😂
Very good!
I feel like Tyson would have been easily number 2 if he got a better start that race Smfh
Blake would stay second if he had some tailwind.
These are top 5 fastest but i dont feel like these are top 5 greatest cuz i think Powell should be 2nd ever cuz he has the most sub 10 runs of all time by record margin i think he has 96 of them and 2nd guy has 51
cant bw greatest if hell lost everytkme against the others
AlienNinjaPuppy Bruh not every time he defeated them but they more often defeat him
thats because he is older you idiot he ran before allbof them its the top 5 fastest not greatest you digbat
Powells just a steroid freak though, same with Gatlin and Gay.
Ian Russell hahaha ikr
NO one could beat Ben Johnson when he was at his best.
He was 3 decades ahead of the time these sprinters are running today.
Didn't he took drugs ?
@@samayjain275
Yes he did. He simply got caught.
Asafas ego was def hurt i always rooted for him though! So handsome
Imagine Blake's 9.69 but with a (+1.5) - (+1.9) tailwind instead of a 0.1 headwind. Amazing run.
Finally
Yohan blake is better then then and ppl keep
Plus 200m in 19.26 seconds with a slow start, still the second fastest time ever.
Imagine Bolt's 100m wr with +1.9 wind instead of +0.9. Better yet, image Bolt's 200m wr with +1.9 wind instead of -0.3.
Would have been 9.65-9.64 Amazing number. Blake without a doubt had the 2nd highest peak ever.
Jamaica gives many fast athletes
Loving the thumbnail
Amazing that the 5 fastest ever were all in the same Olympic final
Nesta Carter always lurking😂
Watch out for “white lightning” out of Texas high school.
Bahahahaha keep dreaming
Capital Black bahahaha keep denying
@@Bam07676 Matthew Bolling is the best athlete in history
Wasnt gatlins 9.74 doping?? And tyson gays 9.69 doping??im confused
Gatlin has some problem where he has to take Aderall medically, and I think it was kept lowkey so when they tested him he came out positive. Not doping. And yohan blake the homie, he doesn’t dope
No. But Powell and Blake were banned at some point as well
going to have to have to update this vid and put me on it in a few years
bolt : 100m in 9.58 seconds
my grandpa : 9.58 m in 100 seconds
Bolt took 0.11 seconds off Tyson's and Yohan's best time of 9.69s That's crazy
He's suerly on some good juice
@@yuppp5885 yes natural juice and fruits and vegetables
@@yuppp5885Others were on juice so it wouldn't matter
3:17
imagine that this 1 yard between bolt and the 2nd made him the fastest man ever
Nesta Carter just casually getting sub 10s in all the races
I was about to say this. Carter is one of my favourite sprinters.
Amazing team
Powell's time would have been faster had he not eased up the last 5 meters.
You cannot rank sprinters by their best records. Their records are affected by their form at the time and wind speed. A better way to rank them is to average the results of their head to head meets.
Man huge fan of gatlin, gay, and bolt while i was running track. Those days are threw for now
Likewise man. Track is definitely a young mans game

Usain Bolt will always be my role model I love you Usain Bolt ☺
Top 5 Fastest 100 Meter Dash Sprinters:
1. (Jam) Usain Bolt - 9.58
2. (Jam) Yohan Blake - 9.69 (Yohan ran 9.69 in a strong headwind)
3. (USA) Tyson Gay - 9.69 (Tyson had a tailwind that assisted him)
4. (Jam) Asafa Powell - 9.72
5. (USA) Justin Gatlin - 9.74
Yohan didn't run in strong wind, it was basically still air
But the wind conditions made it very difficult to run a 9.69
Corey Barnes Tyson should be second because it was before yohan Blake 9.69
Corey Barnes usain had the wind as well, watch it the commentator also said the wind was behind him, either way, they all had the wind so it doesnt matter
Didn't justin Gatlin just run a 9.72 when he can in 3rd to Yohans 9.69 and Bolts 9.63?
What a video!!
That thumbnail 😍
My personal best 9.34 sec.
In 15 meters
Oof
Nice
Lol
Bob Hayes if he concentrated on track and field ..No doubt
The fastest man in the world is from my country..I'm a proud Jamaican right now..❤❤❤🤗🤗🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Gatlin Juiced! Alot!
Andre DEGRASSE did 9.69, but with 4.8 m/s tailwind
Jesse Owns 100m in Berlin was 10.3! That being said he ran in shit shoes a sandy tack that slowed him down. You put him in todays game and quantify the science he's right there!
That was handtimed tho, a 10.3 handtimed converts to a 10.54 100m. Still doesn't make it any less remarkable that he did it on a cinder track
if Ben Johnson ran today he would do 9.5
@@alessandroxcr completely agree, would not be surprised if it was faster than that. Ben was a freak
