Bolt's 100 especially was insane. 9.58 is other wordly. Did you know the 2nd place time of Tyson Gay (9.71) is a time that hasn't been bested in the last decade? 2009~2012 Bolt, Gay, & Blake all ran a sub-9.7, but 2013~2023 not a single person has beat Tyson Gay's 2nd place 9.71 run, & he was still over a tenth of a second behind Bolt in a race that is normally won in hundredths of a second.
This is such a sweet compilation.. For those of us who have grown up watching beautiful athletics, it's so nice to see this all again in the same place. Whoever you are, thank you.
Still annoyed how people like Powell and Edwards didn't make the top 10, but regardless, track and field is a wonderful sport and all of these moments have a place in history.

#7 Yulimar Rojas Oregon 2022 is undeserved IMO.

Lewis vs Powell 1991, on the other hand, was everything one can ask for: WR, competitive, highly anticipated. This poll somehow placed it at #11.
This poll also fucking entirely missed out on Zelezny hitting 98 metres in the Javelin, and then subsequently having to CHANGE THE SPORT SO PEOPLE DONT DIE WHEN HE THROWS. He's the single greatest single event athlete. Period.
@@NeesyPlaysGuitarzelezny already threw with the "new" javelin. Nothing changed after him. The guy you're talking about is Uwe Hohn who throw over 104 meters
Not sure about number 1 but she should be higher than Duplantis. Duplabtis shouldn't even be top 10. All he does is break the WR by 1cm on average each year and collect his bonus
I beg to differ. Personally i feel Mondo deserves to be ahead of McLaughlin as because of him, pole vault has become more exciting. All the top 3 athletes are exceptional generational type of athletes who each has set a WR that no one else can beat for many years to come or no one has come close to them in the history of the sport.

@@afrobuddy4801you do realise it's pretty hard to do what he does he may make it look easy but every time he does a competition I get excited i know we all think will win but the way he does it just crazy to be able to keep going when no one can push him but himself

I can't believe Tiina Lilak's javelin throw from Helsinki 1983 isn't in the top 40. Final afternoon of the games she was Finland's only real hope of a medal in the games and javelin is pretty much national sport. Some pressure. She was in second place and with the penultimate throw of the competition stepped up and threw it miles. The moment, the reaction of the Finnish fans and her reaction are what sport is all about.
Damn Bolt had insane acceleration as well back in the day, if he had better wind on the 200m / a little more endurance we could have a much lower 200m record
No one is topping Usain's 2009 WCs. No one. It was just too perfect. IAAF didn't need to spend a penny for marketing to have that stadium packed, such was the hype. Meanwhile, Bolt was still partying hard & missed a month of training from foot surgery, yet Tyson hadn't missed a beat. It provided room for doubt. Could there be an upset? It was one of the few times in sporting history when an athlete and an event actually lived up to the hype Carl Lewis had to eat crow. Germany commissioned a mural on part of the Berlin wall in honor of Bolt, and the world once again remembered that sprinting existed outside Olympic years. It was the year Bolt transcended athletics and became an icon, and in so doing, singlehandedly dragged T&F back from the brink of obscurity. Short of a woman breaking all of FloJo's records in a single World Championships, Bolt in Berlin will never be topped.
Facts, his 2015 WC could’ve easily been #2 that’s the year Gatlin was on fire running the fastest times of the year and Bolt still won the treble without being 90%fit he was about 80, no one tops Bolt!!
@jomohector5274 Agreed, but I'd say Bolt was only about 60% fit. He hadn't been able to compete the majority of the year due to injuries, and Gatlin was undefeated for the entire season. Short of Gatlin false starting, he was going to win. It was inevitable. And then Bolt did something I'd never seen before or since. He used the rounds to get race sharp for the final. And we saw him do it. He had a godawful season and the final wasn't as fast as we were used to but it was such an incredible feat. Definitely #2 on theall-timee greatest performance list. Too bad it's so often overlooked. Then he absolutely demolished Gatlin in the 200 just for emphasis. It was greatness on a whole other level
I feel like Bolt performance in 2008 is sometimes forgotten and is completely overshadowed by his 2009 performance. If not for the fact that his 4x100m gold medal was stripped from him, I would have said that 2008 was his best year. Won triple gold and broke the WR 4 times (twice in the 100m)
@@afrobuddy4801due to the 2008 Olympic relay gold being stripped, it technically made 2009 a triple gold with 3 world records because, with that 37.10 being thrown out, the existing legal record going into 2009 was still 37.40 by the US. So that made the Jamaican team's 37.32 the new world record
It would have liked to see ‘91 Powell/Lewis and ‘95 Edwards ranked in the top 10 based on being unbelievable performances. Since this was a fan vote, though, I think lots of other factors were considered.

Mate and I have spent hours putting a list together and watching these as they were released. Our honorable mentions not even in the top 40. Zelezny for Jav, Allen Johnson 110H 4 x gold and Fajdek 5 x hammer throw champ. How do none of these make it in the 40. To say we were disgusted by Powell and Edwards being at 12 and 15 is an understatement. Mate cheesed by the Isinvayeva omission too. 5.01m PV
As for Bolt’s records, they will be around for awhile. Highly doubtful that the 4x100 of 36.84 will be broken. Saw Carl Lewis’s team had 37.86 as a new record back in the 80’s
@@78758nate Really? The Men’s 4x100m Relay World Record will be in Jeopardy this year at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games????👀 Are you sure about that???👀 This year (in 2024)???👀
Wonderful performances and memories! That said, Jonathan Edwards should be top 10; I mean two world records in two attempts??? That WR has lasted nearly 30yrs??? C'mon. And then the GREATEST LONG JUMP COMPETITION IN HISTORY not making the the top 10. You gotta be kidding me??? That was so EPIC and they broke a mythical record (Beamon's) at that. Powell's WR has lasted 32 years. Wowzers.
If you watch the triple jump back, he came down so very close to the edge of the pit - all the record was in the hop, skip and hop. No one ever gets that close to the pit with at the end of the final phase.
Firstly for someone in UK it was so nice to hear Ron Pickering do the commentary on Carl Lewis, great voice!! 2nd didn't the cameraman do well to keep up with Usain after the 100m!!!
que satisfaccion ver que una de las nuestra esta en esos mejores momentos. Arriba Yulimar Rojas¡ pronto volveras a las pistas a seguir rompiendo record.
14:53 Man was commenting like it was a normal 'heats race' just casually listing off the names in order. Like bruh, have you seen what just happened?? 2nd man thankfully jumps on the mic to save the day.
It is very hard to beat bolts moment It was like the stars were aligned for that moment The hype, the build for gay vs Powell vs Bolt is almost impossible to top And all 3 ran under 9.85 which has never happened in a world championship final which is absolutely ridiculous
I still hear current sprinters think they can get the WR (from interviews & such), but in the last decade (2013~2023) not a single sprinter has beat Tyson Gay's 2nd place time of 9.71 in this race. Bolt (9.63 in 2012), Gay (9.69 in 2009 or 2010), Blake (9.69 in 2012) are the only 3 performances that have beat Tyson Gay's 2nd place 9.71 since the 2009 WC Final. Even then 9.69 is still over a tenth of a second behind, in a race that is normally won by hundredths, nobody is close, crazy record.
@richardgallimore5976 It was one of those great moments in time. I'll never forget seeing 9.5 flash on the screen and for a split second being disappointed because I thought the timer had malfunctioned. Then the rush of euphoria when I realized I'd just witnessed true greatness: the 9.5 was real. A human being had just run below 9.6. It was like seeing the impossible but not being able to fully comprehend what was seen. Only Bolt could do the impossible and make it look effortless. Berlin will never be topped.
@@stacyb1341 It really was unreal. I think the only way to emulate that feeling would be if the women's 100m or 400m WR got beat, as those seem impossible. The 200 though very strong I think will go soon. Warholm's sub-46 400mH was also insane. From early 90s to something like 2019 only 1 person in history had gone under 47 seconds. Then all of a sudden there was 4 guys capable of doing it, then out of nowhere sub-46, I was in shock.
Nice compilation but where are Paavo Nurmi, Jesse Owens and Emil Zatopek on this list ? Yes, the first World Athletics Championship was held in 1983 in Helsinki and those three men did compete a long time before but In 1913, the IAAF decided that the Olympic Games would serve as the World Championships for athletics.
great video! i really enjoyed reliving these incredible moments. but honestly, i feel like some of the selections are a bit overrated. i mean, where's the love for the underdogs? they deserve a spot too, right? just my two cents!
nah, shouldn't even be in top 20. She just won a single gold medal and no WR. Look at the athlete in the top 10 and you would see that they won multiple gold medals and/or broke a WR(s). I think Shelly is the greatest female sprinter but the fact that she has no WR to her name is really a blemish on an otherwise incredible career. She is the greatest of all time but not the best of all time.
@@afrobuddy4801being the greatest means she's also the best. And not having the WR is not a blemish. A real WR has not existed for the women's 100m-800m for years
This might be a country bias, but I feel Tobi Amusan breaking the world record twice in the same day (by a ridiculous margin) should be worthy of the top 10.
Usain Bolt is the greatest athlete of all time...... Mohammad Ali ... Michael Phelps ..m..jordan......Ronaldo...r. Federer.....all second to the king 👑👑👑👑....
Really, no Jonathan Edwards breaking the world triple jump record, then 10 minutes later breaking his own world record, and yet you had the female world triple jump record holder in that top 10...seriously?
Not to be rude but Rojas at #7? Phenomenal triple jumper and had it been the world record I could see the argument; but it's like her 5th best jump of all time. Compare that to Edwards who nearly 30 years ago broke (his own) world record twice in 20 minutes adding a whole foot onto the record which has hardly been challenged for 3 decades, but that came 15th. Or the Long Jump showdown between Lewis and Powell in 1991 again resulting in a still untouchable world record? Just don't see the logic of this list lol
Bolt and McLaughlin dead heat. But 99% of people have tried to run a fast sprint at some stage in there life as compared to a paced 400mh so for that reason Bolt is the GOAT. But what Sydney has done she's amazing. If she can somehow jag the 400m sprint record she can possibly jump into #1.
1995 , 18m29cm Edwards still the WR holder nearly 30 years later and a poxy jump by a lass is 7th greatest moment ever lol shows the bullshit fake media world we living in ...
Carl Lewis Vs Mike Powell isn't in the top 10?? I remember being a kid watching the Ed Moses race in 1987 it was incredible 3 men a photo finish Jonathan Edwards should have been there as well
How do you miss the greatest competition ever from Doha 2019 with the shotput, never have there been that many athletes that close to the world record or that many break the championship record or that close of medal positions separated by a single centimeter. Literally the closest, greatest completion in history of track and field regardless of event!?
19.19 for 200m almost identical speed for the 100m. I believe these guys are running the 50m-150m section in under 9 seconds (not ‘losing’ time at the start as they are accelerating from the blocks). It feels like 200m or just beyond is the point where the speed can’t quite be maintained for longer at the moment. Looking at the 300m (30.81) and 400m (43.03) WRs it starts to drop off at a fair rate relatively. I’ll have to read up on the science behind it and why that is. I wonder if we will see a sub 30.0 300m in the next 50 years or so.
Usain Bolt definitely deserves #1 👑⚡️

How is Wayde van niekerk not on this? He literally broke the world record in 400m and won South Africa's first medal for track in 96 years...
He broke it in the Olympics not world championships
Read the video headlines!!!!

Where is the 800m Kenyan legend?
I don’t know if it’s just me but since Usain Bolt retired sprinting has not been the same and I don’t know if it will ever be!!
👏👏👏👏👏❤️🐐
Yeah it's always a bit disappointing with these events knowing noone will get close to the WR or OR.
Nice compilation but where are Paavo Nurmi, Jesse Owens and Emil Zatopek on this list ? Yes, the first World Athletics Championship was held in 1983 in Helsinki and those three men did compete a long time before but In 1913, the IAAF decided that the Olympic Games would serve as the World Championships for athletics.
I’m surprised- no Jesse Ownes, no Hicham El Guerrouj, no Kenenisa Bekele, no Abebe Bikila, no Alberto Juantorena, no Eliud Kipchoge, no David Rudisha?
Wayde and Thompson should've been in the top 10.
The camera man is unbeatable😂
Where’s Javier Sotomayor and his 2.45m (8’ 1/4”) in High Jump? C’mon man!
Hassans double was significantly better than Mo Farah's.
He is the king 👑
great video! i really enjoyed reliving these incredible moments. but honestly, i feel like some of the selections are a bit overrated. i mean, where's the love for the underdogs? they deserve a spot too, right? just my two cents!
How come Yulimar Rojas is so high up there.
Rojas 2022 Oregon being #7 is absolutely shameful honestly!
So true. I suppose this is on the back of her WR in Tokyo OLY and followed by another new WR in Belgrad in March 2022.
The Greatest to ever do it Usian bolt👑
Stefka Kostadinova and Jonathan Edwards must be on this list!!!???😢
p.s. Shelly's 2022 fifth 100m WC title should probably have made the top 10 as well. It was kind of a big deal
nah, shouldn't even be in top 20. She just won a single gold medal and no WR. Look at the athlete in the top 10 and you would see that they won multiple gold medals and/or broke a WR(s).
I think Shelly is the greatest female sprinter but the fact that she has no WR to her name is really a blemish on an otherwise incredible career. She is the greatest of all time but not the best of all time.
@@afrobuddy4801being the greatest means she's also the best. And not having the WR is not a blemish. A real WR has not existed for the women's 100m-800m for years
@jordanjordannis2258 no its not! Flo-jo is still the best and the fastest to ever do it. Also nothing like a real or fake WR. the WR is the WR
@@afrobuddy4801eh kinda hard when the women's wr for 100 and 200 are held by a drugged up cheat
@@afrobuddy4801Exactly
This might be a country bias, but I feel Tobi Amusan breaking the world record twice in the same day (by a ridiculous margin) should be worthy of the top 10.
Kenelisa Bekele, Gabrisellese and Dibaba are missing here..
Usain Bolt is an greatest of all time.
Wayde van niekrek wr is 43.03 !
@@szymon6207 Whoa.
Usain Bolt is the greatest athlete of all time...... Mohammad Ali ... Michael Phelps
..m..jordan......Ronaldo...r. Federer.....all second to the king 👑👑👑👑....
Florence Griffith Joyner,Jonathan Edwards
Mikel Johnson lo possiamo anche togliere da questa lista 😅 ha fatto di tutto per vincere …
Sifan Hassan is the 🐐
the top 3 bring me to tears
I miss the 4x400 mtrs with the phenomenal Femke Bol.
Ezekiel Kemboi in one of the best steeple races ever.
Really, no Jonathan Edwards breaking the world triple jump record, then 10 minutes later breaking his own world record, and yet you had the female world triple jump record holder in that top 10...seriously?
Carl Lewis 💖💖💖🐐🐐
no 10 cr 1500m in 3:51.95 (AR)
The Sidney McLaughlin commentary is the best piece of sports commentary I've ever heard.
Carl Lewis in EIGHT ? Utterly clueless. His long jump of 8,54 would have made gold in 2023.
Not to be rude but Rojas at #7? Phenomenal triple jumper and had it been the world record I could see the argument; but it's like her 5th best jump of all time. Compare that to Edwards who nearly 30 years ago broke (his own) world record twice in 20 minutes adding a whole foot onto the record which has hardly been challenged for 3 decades, but that came 15th. Or the Long Jump showdown between Lewis and Powell in 1991 again resulting in a still untouchable world record? Just don't see the logic of this list lol
Favoritism was def involved in this decision
Bolt and McLaughlin dead heat. But 99% of people have tried to run a fast sprint at some stage in there life as compared to a paced 400mh so for that reason Bolt is the GOAT. But what Sydney has done she's amazing. If she can somehow jag the 400m sprint record she can possibly jump into #1.
Sydney def should be #1-2 she def out performed mondo
1995 , 18m29cm Edwards still the WR holder nearly 30 years later and a poxy jump by a lass is 7th greatest moment ever lol shows the bullshit fake media world we living in ...
Well-deserved
Mike Powell should be in the top 3
Where is the Powell/Lewis Long Jump final from 1991. Tension, drama and the erasure of one of the most fabled WRs ever, Beamon's 8.90m
9.58, I don't think we will see anything close to that for at least 30 more years
Carl Lewis not being top 3 makes absolutely no sense. No one even competes in the long jump and the 100 and he won both…ON TOP of a WR in 4x1
Jarmila Kratochvilova in 83? Even Marita Koch.
what are the odds that the fastest man in history is named Bolt
Rojas is amazing. But please explain how that was number 7? Above hassan and Lewis ? No chance
We love a sprint queen.. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce really is the best
I don’t think people appreciate what Sydney has done in the 400h. No one is even close to her. The margin is enourmous.
Faith kipyegon should be in here.. probably number 1
The cameraman should be in there somewhere 😂😂😂😂
Carl Lewis deserved to be at Number 2
How do you establish this ranking ? Hicham El gerouj didn't existe and jhonson 9th with WR ? It's a mess.
Carl Lewis Vs Mike Powell isn't in the top 10?? I remember being a kid watching the Ed Moses race in 1987 it was incredible 3 men a photo finish
Jonathan Edwards should have been there as well
How do you miss the greatest competition ever from Doha 2019 with the shotput, never have there been that many athletes that close to the world record or that many break the championship record or that close of medal positions separated by a single centimeter. Literally the closest, greatest completion in history of track and field regardless of event!?
It was at #38. I agree it deserves to rank higher, but this was a public vote.
No. 38
How come Mike Powell's long jump record not in the top 5?????? Misterious...????
Bolt was KNEE DEEP after Berlin
19.19 for 200m almost identical speed for the 100m. I believe these guys are running the 50m-150m section in under 9 seconds (not ‘losing’ time at the start as they are accelerating from the blocks). It feels like 200m or just beyond is the point where the speed can’t quite be maintained for longer at the moment. Looking at the 300m (30.81) and 400m (43.03) WRs it starts to drop off at a fair rate relatively. I’ll have to read up on the science behind it and why that is. I wonder if we will see a sub 30.0 300m in the next 50 years or so.
Jarmila Kratoshvilova (400m, 800m) in 1983 is amazing too.
Yeah, amazing they haven't struck her obviously doped 800m record from the books long ago
Shelly Anne Fraser Pryce should of been higher in my opinion
She should be 2
lol what?? Maybe if she broke a WR, sure but she is already way too high as it is. She shouldn't be top 10 imo
