Asafa Powell has set the stage for Jamaican athletes especially for Usain Bolt. Asafa is a world class athlete. One of the best out of Jamaica. Never forget those who have laid the foundation. He has no failures. Thanks for laying the foundation Asàfa!!! First world record holder!!!!

@@karlharriott9953 I would never compare those athletes to a asafa more over any athlete at all. Those athletes that u mentioned did their best at winning and also not winning just like all of our beloved athletes. What I meant by my statement is that at the time that Asafa ran for Jamaica he brought back life to the sport especially sprint because then we were slacking and in need of rivalry and that he did. Also pls not that at the time r hat he came on stream the great America dominated the sprints and ASAFA BROUGHT BACK LIFE TO SPRINT WORLD FOR JAMAICA AND WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE HIM A WHOLE LOT.
@Del's World, you are spot on!! How easily we forget the good times when the not so good times come along. I am extremely happy and proud of Usain Bolt, he is now seen as the GOAT in male sprinting but I WILL always remember what Asafa Powell did for Jamaica's male sprinting!! We didn't know that a Jamaican born, raised, lived and TRAINED could have owned the world record in the Men's 100m. He broke the record twice and has the record for running the most sub 10 seconds. Asafa held the World record until another Jamaican broke it!! Asafa deserves some respect on his name!! Thank you Asafa Powell, Jamaica is proud of you. Usain Bolt once said that Asafa Powell inspired him to go after the World records, that is a separate accomplishment by Asafa, to inspire someone like Usain Bolt. Blessings to you safa!!!🥂🍾🇯🇲🇯🇲👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Asafa Powell was a unique specimen among sprinters. His built, technique, form and composition are the reasons why he makes running 9.7 sec seem so effortless. BOLT always believed that the only man who could have broken his record was Asafa. Because on any given day he just flies
Let's not forget about justin Gatlin he is the most motivated athlete ever. He won his first Olympic gold medal at the 2004 Olympics games in Athens. He was faced with a doping ban which cost him a chance to be in the 2008 Olympics which he then came back in the 2012 an 2016 Olympics giving the world fastest man (Usain bolt) a tight compitetion.
@@CluedUp23 I think a lot of track and field followers are aware of their Jamaican heritage, but they didn't represent Jamaica like Asafa did. I think he had a huge influence on other athletes deciding to represent Jamaica as well

I have great respect for Asafa Powell. He is a legend no matter what. with or without the 100 meters gold, he is till our golden boy. this race was among the greatest in the world and he shined. Big up Asafa your son man bring us the gold no stress.
Asafa has been a tremendous sprinter. It is so unfortunate that he didn't win any Olympics medal in individual race. But his performance in 2008 relay split was phenomenal.
Did the commentator actually say they’ve got this other young chap from the Caribbean’s Usain Bolt ? Lol he’s now a legend in 2021, current world record holder
@@athlete101010 Only it seems from side view in t middle phase, beginning n ending (as well as middle to greater degree) all Lewis. In t middle you can see from side view a striving power thrust from his action as if 'he's trying' to constantly accelerate, bringing a 'slight movement' wth his trunk n head involved. Wht Lewis showed tht t others ddnt quite get was how to hold t trunk in perfect form ... (streamline action, unified motion). Not overreach/ drive wth t arms or legs, but Just enough...cycled. Chest high, head still, trunk slight forward tilt, high pelvis...(arms going back n forth, elbows bent, palms open, thumbs high)...driving...knee action, breathing pattern. Forcing a higher pelvic thrust on t knee drive, reaching forward, even higher action, allowing more power development from t glutes, hamstrings, quads n calves, reacting uniformly wth t arms like pistons, generating incredible dynamic velocity, giving longer length per stride. In effect shorten t distance, faster movement, quicker pace. Slight extension through t knee, (once reached top end of knee drive) as in clawing forward... timed perfectly wth other movements (explained above) repeating cycle... Finding t 'just enough' ratio, tied in unison to a breathing pattern (e.g.. swimmers, three strokes per breath) 4-5-6 strides per breath... Once all of this is found, (there's no 'reaching' in how you run)...[thrust must come from t synchronised power drive/ between t arms n legs] giving a 'pounce' (spring) action. Only ... it becomes a gliding motion because each stride is a pounce... Like t show jumping horses whn they do tht synchronize time trotting, Where they seemingly float in t air. Same action...(must b practiced) and all t drive n action is in t arms and legs working in unison (piston like) for maximum power, drive and velocity without giving t idea of striving for pace just a notion of gliding into pace on to t finish line. By this it seemed as if he's not decelerating rather, re-accelerating or 'holding' maximum velocity n just whn he starts to decelerate he's crossing t finish line. This is shown wth Usains world record run, Where he actually pulled up, but it looked as if he could've 'held' tht maximum top end thrust... he reached much earlier...(60-70-80mtr mark) to come in at a faster time, but as shown he was satisfied wth where he was in t race and ddnt need to hold tht velocity drive any longer then necessary to win tis race. Our current World Record still! I rest my case! Tis is all Asafa showed. Nothing new, just got to know wht your looking at. Il take tht as a thank you. I'm in Australia.
He was such a beast ..truly admire this guy ..after him and during his later part of his career Jamaica assembled thr best runners with the best results ..man runs like a machine ..wow hats off ..Asafa Powell
Shawn barker.we got a lot more bolt and powell.watch the high school boys and girls championship in this month.were all the top school againts each other.we have the sprint machine
Its just hard to beat Caribbean runners because of the food they eat. Imagine the fish they eat was swimming in the ocean half hour earlier, the beef, mutton, lamb etc was walking in the field just earlier that day.Cows eat grass, the mangoes. and other fruits are hand picked a few seconds before they are eaten,just pick,wash, eat.
Retrospective views are always interesting... like time travel. Who knew what this great sprinter was going to do; began the Jamaican dominance... and wiry "that other young chap Usain Bolt" 😂
Michael Johnson knew that going in the race Asafa Powell had the best time, however he refused to say that Asafa Powell would've won the race... Typical American, and just like that Jamaican sprinters were back as serious contenders of track and field... Well done Asafa Powell.
@Error Report I'm not a Jamaican. I just think that A.Powell - impeccable technique from start to finish, great body position- was the best sprinter for 5 years - until 2008. Then (still to my opinion) he was only second to Bolt for the following 5 years. However that didn't really show at major championships. Still all credits to him for beating world records. I wouldn't go as far as saying that he 'made Bolt possible ' though.
Something he did for years till it became a part of his race finishing...and coming to his peak when younger athletes started catching up to him he couldn't snap out of it...practice becomes perfect...always finish the race strong...the great start, drive phase, up in full stride is all defeated without a strong finish...Asafa is the boss same way
Humans can only reach certain full speeed depending on each individual. And no human can maintain his full speed for more than 40-60KM. So to answer your question is all sprinters hit their full speed early so they maintain for certain distance and on the last part of the race they naturally decrease... Usain Bolt maintain his full speed little longer than others... in most races he is a slow starter but when he reaches his full speed he maintains while other are starting to decrease. Hope I managed to answer
5:12 Greene clearly pissed him off. Uncharacteristic of Powell. If anything he paved the way for Bolt to help build a decade+ dominance on the track. 2019 and he's still doing it. Often criticised but largely misunderstood. Think he needed a sport psychologist early on in his career. Big up Asafa!!!

Have you ever seen them with a "Caribbean" flag or wearing Caribbean colors? Are the Europeans running for Europe?
Asafa Powell is the man how set Jamaican sprinting stage for usain bolt to take the bottom yes we remember quarry and others but for the 100meters yes asafa

Thank you Asafa Powell. Legend! Great don of Jamaica 🇯🇲. Only if you had more self confidence! He pulled up in half his races. Wished he would’ve just ran through the finish line.
It's interesting how we all crown a new king for the next decade. Just shows you in sports the emergence of others can be just around the corner is bolt

Asafa Powell was really nice sprinter but unfortunate to not win any Olympics
Why does Powell ALWAYS slow down at the end????
etuboldon boldon all sprinters do unconsciously once they believe they got it...not right but the way it always has been.
I wish I knew the answer to this question. I have always asked about this.
Drugs wore off. Perhaps it was designed to last 90 meters.
Something he did for years till it became a part of his race finishing...and coming to his peak when younger athletes started catching up to him he couldn't snap out of it...practice becomes perfect...always finish the race strong...the great start, drive phase, up in full stride is all defeated without a strong finish...Asafa is the boss same way
Humans can only reach certain full speeed depending on each individual. And no human can maintain his full speed for more than 40-60KM. So to answer your question is all sprinters hit their full speed early so they maintain for certain distance and on the last part of the race they naturally decrease... Usain Bolt maintain his full speed little longer than others... in most races he is a slow starter but when he reaches his full speed he maintains while other are starting to decrease. Hope I managed to answer
I hate that he pulls up in his race.
Who
Asafa is still my athlete. #forever
Forever Asafa
5:12 Greene clearly pissed him off. Uncharacteristic of Powell. If anything he paved the way for Bolt to help build a decade+ dominance on the track. 2019 and he's still doing it. Often criticised but largely misunderstood. Think he needed a sport psychologist early on in his career. Big up Asafa!!!
I loved that about asafa. Wish he got angry a bit more.
@@anthonyclarke2253 u know what... I never thgt about that. U r actually right. Haha. But then he'd be angry all the time and we wudnt rate him as much but he get more medals. Mek di man stay ya man. Dwl
@@lmt70402 well not so vex that he doesn't greet anyone after, but at least have more self confidence.
Greene probably tried to intimidate Powell before the race, apparently he does that to other sprinters a lot.
Respect Asaf Powell, I am proud of you, you did us good. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Green what a great interview response and gentleman
Asafa ran so bolt could fly!✈️
Lmao the whole time the 🐐 was lurking in the back... " another young chap named Usain Bolt 😂😂"
Ehh cool I guess was I supposed to laugh
Haha 😂 the Jamaican athletes are doing very well he said. And just around the corner came a youngster named BOLT! And the rest is HISTORY!!
6:30 mentioning Usain bolt. They knew what was coming lol
The commentator said "The Caribbean Athletes..". Umm, no sir, let me correct you.. The JAMAICAN Athletes. They're not out there representing the Caribbean, they're representing Jamaica. Have you ever seen them with a "Caribbean" flag or wearing Caribbean colors? Are the Europeans running for Europe?
Get over yourself. He was talking overall, Kim Collins is from the Caribbean, plus others from other countries in the Caribbean.
My main guy; Safa. I will forever honour and salute you for your tremendous support to the Sports. I really love and appreciate you.
Is that not so nice celebration the reason he never won the big one 🤣🤣🤷🏿♂️
Back when Powell didn't choke.
I'm convinced Justin Gatlin is a time traveller.
Asafa the best
wow a so long asfa a run since I was 9 yrs old woooooow
I wonder if anyone went back to these announcers to ask what they think of Usain now 😂
An at the end of his career he was beaten. That's life 4 u.
@@frankwhite4395 shut up
Usain failure in the last race in the UK didnt even shake or affect his stardom a true G.O.A.T🐐
Wow he should be still getting $ for that race, the US was so hype back then.
Asafa Powell is the man how set Jamaican sprinting stage for usain bolt to take the bottom yes we remember quarry and others but for the 100meters yes asafa
If only the commentators could've known that the other young chap they mentioned then, would turn out to be a legend..... kudos to the Caribbean for turning out so many fine athletes.
Ikr! If they only knew!
100% Well said! OUTSTANDING JAMAICAN ATHLETE, thanks for making your country proud. Enjoy your retirement with your family...Blessings!
Green long drive phase . Awesome
Aziz Zakari of Ghana 🇬🇭 in 2! Love it
Gatlin was no where in this race, and a month later, he is olympic champion.
Asafa is my favorite sprinter not taking anything from Usain but asafa forms impeccable I can't understand how he runs so fast and looks so very comfortable like he's just chilling
Thank you Asafa Powell. Legend! Great don of Jamaica 🇯🇲. Only if you had more self confidence! He pulled up in half his races. Wished he would’ve just ran through the finish line.
Usain Bolt named called before he became that great..it's 4 yrs after that Usain Bolt set nd smashed records! 😁
Usain had set the World U20 Record earlier that year of 19.93 before he turned 18
This is 2004, this race was epic❤🇯🇲
It's interesting how we all crown a new king for the next decade. Just shows you in sports the emergence of others can be just around the corner is bolt
Where is that asafa that we needed in championships
My boy Powell I always called you soft after this race but o never saw that u made an aggressive emotion after winning not taking Greene hand shake. Only thing you should have kept that same dog 🐕 in you so you would have won more finals ✊🏿👍🏿 you started the era for us and we proud for that you held it down 💪🏿
Asafa, should have played some American football, he had the size of a running back. Serious breakaway speed.
@@floydpotts2438 he ain’t that tough physically he ain’t built for a tackle

100% Well said! OUTSTANDING JAMAICAN ATHLETE, thanks for making your country proud. Enjoy your retirement with your family...Blessings!
Furtunately I have seen this alive, what a memory!
What should have been🤦♂🤦♂
They have this other young chap in the Caribbean, I think Usain Bolt is his name outgoing!
WELL HE LATER RE-WRITES SPRINTING HISTORY! A LEGEND! THE GOAT!
Wow, watching this 19 years later it's interesting to see Gatlin and Patton bringing up the rear. Clearly they made some changes in their preparation.
Asafa never fail us he set the paste so we can follow the younger generation
Maurice Green has one of the most pure running forms ever!
Just straight power and force
Another 10yrds and Mo would have caught Asafa, great race all the same.
Consumate technician
shout out to Usain Bolt @6:30
The day that the U.S. lost their dominance. Jamaica salute.
@Beverley Hohn Chang This isn't about color or race. This is about the individual & who we represent! Su Bingtian doesn't give a shit about the next Asian bc his coach is Loren Seagrave from America. So let's cut the bullshit. You're the only one studying race. Let's just concentrate on the only race that matters, & that's the track!
@Beverley Hohn Chang, relax and go take you meds, keyboard warrior! What's special about being straight Chinese? At the end of the day we are all humans and will one day no longer exist. Instead of fighting, using your keyboard as your tool, why not try to enjoy life and coexist peacefully instead of harboring all these negative energy?
we'll see about that
@Beverley Hohn Chang nudle
Yes drugs cheaters.we ave d sprint machine.
Didn’t realise Gatlin was in this race
"They've got this other young chap haven't they from the carribean... Usain Bolt"... Me:"You better put some respect on that name now!"
Wow, if I could see more than just some pixels I would probably be amazed!
Even now Asafa shy hate the limelight.
Well, he now has a TH-cam vlogging channel...lol
Asafa was a star in the making, then Usain comes along..🤣😂
Actually, Tyson Gay came along.
Usain came along
Dude broke the world record twice. That's not something a lot of guys have done. Lets not feel to sorry for the man.
@@bevenawilliams8491 not before Tyson, Usain Bolt was running the 400m and 200m not the 100
@@bevenawilliams8491 Tyson Gay came along after that Bolt.
Good job Powell
