Wow.. Didn't even qualify. Amazing what drugs can do isn't it? NO sprinter drops almost 2 full seconds off their 200m time w/o being on drugs 🤦🏻♂️ 🤣. Funny how most of his Jamaican sprinting brothers got caught for illegal substances but he never did 🤔
This is where the lightening Bolt made the decision to become a true professional. He was a teenager(18 yrs old) running against men in the Olympics(2004 Athens) and sometimes you have to lose so you can learn how to win. Now he's the greatest of all time and a legend.
I'm fully aware of his hamstring injury that affected his performance in the race. Bolt qualified to run in this Olympics because he was the World Junior Champion and record holder at 17yrs old with a time of 19.93 so he could have won it if it wasn't for his injury. He also gained valuable experience running against the older athletes.
For everyone asking why the camera was focusing on him even though he wasn't the big star he is today is cause he was still a teenager but competing in the Olympics, even if he was injured in that race it's still incredible he got there.
@@paradox9265 hmm i dont think so I mean he has potencial, but he's just to skinny and too tall Lacking accelaration too Wait now i realized this race was a long time ago What happen to this jamaican since then?
@@giljorge7479 I don't know man if he work harder maybe he can be the fastest man on the planet, but still like what u said he is too tall and skinny for that.
Learning from failing ....the pain of regret changes man ...Behind every successful man , there are lot of unsuccessful years....You are our inspiration BOLT..
This video is so inspirational at so many levels. He didn't even came in the top 3, he finished 5th in this race and it was a Heat race and not even finals. He practiced, He changed his running style, He developed himself like crazy He made himself stronger And His perseverance, His consistency, His hardwork Not only did he win, but holds the current world record. He has set the benchmark for everyone.
The man was injured. What sets him apart is his genes. I say this because you can adjust your work ethic and mindset, but when everyone does it doesn't set you apart anymore. I don't think any olympic athlete is not doing all those things you mentioned above.
Yes he did change his running style a bit and practiced loads but he was not at his healthiest for this Olympics as he had already clocked 20.13 prior to this Olympics at 200 so he could have medaled or been in the finals if he was healthy. Overall yes great nutrition and greater practice led him to his legendary status in latter years
Usain blot is respected world wide It really didn’t matter if you wasn’t Jamaican you was still rooting for him to win, he’s a real champ with a heart of gold and quirky personality by far the greatest of our time.
Wow. And then he goes on to become a track superstar! That goes to show that you should never give up on your God-given purpose/ talents. Keep pushing!
Yup to qualify for the 200m at 18 years old from...... Jamaica. Here e was going to be something regardless of the results. He was already beating adults in Jamaica
The lesson I've just learned here: Although he was injured, his cross prayer and the necklace did not help at all. I can tell from his eyes and based on his attitude that this moment was a turning point that activated his will to succeed and never lose again. The man kept practicing like no one else and it paid off.
@@lifetree7177 he ran 19.93 that year. He and Asafa ran the 200m at the Olympics because only 1 person had a qualifying time that ran the 200m at the jamaica Olympic trials to run at the Olympics so Asafa and bolt were put in so jamaica could have 3 person running. He had an a hamstring injury and wasn't fit. Base on his season best he should have gotten 2nd or third
Probably not. Shawn Crawford from the US was in very good form over 200m that year and ran 19.79 in the final. Usain's personal best was a 19.93 and he had only run under 20 seconds once. He really matured around age 20.
Hard work simply means you’re dedicated. It does guarantee success. There plenty of athletes that work there but off that will never stand on the podium.
no joke tears come to my eyes to see how long he was working hard jha know I don't know him like that but I dont want no one around me say nothing that is bad about this youth yha because now who can beat him
He got to about 20.0 for 200m......in 2007.....in 2008 he started taking juice.....popped 19.31 at the Olympics...in2009 19.19......Took juice (like almost all Jamaican sprinters did in 2008/2009).....It's just that juice worked for him more than it does for most.
Got soundly beaten in this race but, later he ran the same event in a jaw-dropping 19.19 seconds! How much hard work does he put in to get to that level? Usain Bolt is a role model for all of us...
It seems like the cameraman was really focused on getting shots of Usain Bolt, almost as if he knew there was something special about him, and that he'd become the world’s top sprinter just four years later.
Well he had a bad run here but he was already smashing age group records at this stage. I think this was after his 19.9 200m that broke the world junior record (might have been a bit before).
I have a track and field news magazine with him on the cover from then and I watched him compete at world youth in Canada where I live. I have followed his career since world youth in Sherbrooke.
I liked this, it was kinda hard watching it at first but then I focused on what the reality was,( and thanks to some info from you guys in the comments) and I thought he was just a nervous injured kid doing his best and enjoying the event. This man has taught me a lot about hard work and enjoying the results, God bless him.
Wow .... That's almost hard to watch. .lol😂 Little did anyone in the Stands know that the Greatest Sprinter and FASTEST human to ever walk this earth , just finished 5th in that heat ..?? Lol😂 Goes to show just how much improvement can be done at the early stages of these sprinters.
21.05 to 19.19 that is unbreakable world record Usain Bolt has created. It will be there for at least 20-30 years. Mark my words. With hardwork sprinter can clock about 19.80. But 19.19 is just god's gift.

Its an edit and even if it wasnt Usain bolt ran under 20 seconds in u-20 world championship

True, because he was 21, four years later for the 2008 Beijing Olympics when he dominated and set a new world record of 19.30.
Clive Grant wrong. He lost becuz he was injured

Correction* You'll HAVE to lose before learning how to win (I get what you were saying though don't worry)
As long as you know what i was trying to say , then we are alright.

he was actually nervous, so he sat.
I find him so funny in agood way 😂
probably why he lost
possible resting his leg injury
He was thinking 'I got this, 5th place is in the bag.' Realistic goals.
Then he dominated the next 3 olympics, simply amazing!
