My most favorite sprinter of all-time, Tyson Gay. I know he got caught using enhancement drugs, and also suffered off and on from groin injuries, but still I absolutely love the way this guy runs. His momentum just keeps building, and then when you think he can't go faster, he goes into his unique over-stride technique and actually out paces his physical limits. This is something very few can do, even among the best of all-time. I have never seen anyone over-stride like Tyson!
He Got Caught Using The Same Diuretic Asafa Powell Used. He Was Chunky Looking Early That Season And Needed To Get That Excess Weight Off. Although, He Ran 9.75 1st Meet Of The Season👌🏿.
Mike Rodgers still at it to this day.. he ook super young. Man he has been like the Ultimate Bridesmaid zero individuals Golds, but always in background in the mix
It would have been interesting to say the least. The result would have been the same. To his credit he came back in 09' and ran one his fastest races ever.
Everyone focuses on the final, but if Tyson had finished strong in the Quarter final (when he broke the American record with legal wind) he would've probably broken 9.7.
@@yennox5338 His last 4 strides were slowed. He still ran 9.77 which is nearly mid 9.7 already so it possibly would've been an easy 9.7 low if he never slowed down.
The times tyson gay has clocked during his career are nothing short of fantastic. 9,69, 9,71, 9,68w and easing off in a 9,77, another 9,77 and a 9,78 into headwind

@@yennox5338 rewatching this shit, I can't believe Tyson Gay stumbled. Imo, this is one of his best races ever. Oh wait, the wind was +1.6. Nevermind what I said lmfaoo.
I wonder in the earlier preliminary rounds when he mistakenly slowed up and then sped up again, did that contribute to his hamstring injury in the 200m trials? I guess we’ll never know, but it’s just a thought.
Thank you for sharing. I'm a super fan of Tyson gay. This video has made me so emotional. How unfortunate Tyson was, injured before making his way to the 2008 Olympics, having a come back again but falling into the drug scandal, and losing his daughter. I bet that if he hadn't got injured at that time, the most remembered name in the track and field history would not be Usain.
Bolt was ready to go under 9.40 if gay could’ve been in the finals of olimpics 08 , remember he blew the rest of the elite team in the finals easy with OR of 9.69
This sport is ruthless. You can be improving and have a breakthrough, become world champ, be on top, in the best shape ever and wam somebody else comes along and tops that and takes most of the glory too
Sad how he got injured just before the olympics, and then never again did he win an olympic medal ever. Got injured again afterwards, caught for peds, lost his daughter. And now he's just a forgotten name in track. Such a sad career to one of the most talented sprinters.
@@TheoOJamaloO1 haven't seen him in diamond leagues the past 3 years. I don't think he'll be able to make relay team next year with all the young talent that the USA has right now.
Not forgotten at all. He's tied 2nd all-time for the 100m so his name will be known for a long long time. Even if someone is into track 50 years from now they'll know who he is as he'll most likely still be on a top 10 all-time list. He's also my favorite sprinter of all-time despite me being born in Canada and of Jamaican heritage.
@@darrylflinch5274 Powell is 6'3 and Gatlin 6'1 or 6'2. By your logic most Basketball Players should be faster than Bolt. It's not about height. Ryan Bailey is 6'4 and his pb was "only" 9.88. Kemar Bailey Cole is 6'4 too and his pb is 9.92. Bolt was just a freak of nature an exception.
@@TheoOJamaloO1 Come on man really basketball players. Obviously you need to have the skill of speed! But we can't act like stride length doesn't make any difference. Though strength is a big part of speed. I agree with you though Bolt was just a freak of nature for sure!
Jeff Demps wasn't the fastest football player in History at that point with a 10.01. He became the second fastest in history behind Jim Hines with his unofficial 9.89 & an official 9.95. Eventually Trindon Holliday became the second fastest in history with a 10.00 to put Demps at the number three spot tied with Jacoby Ford at 10.01, fastest football players in history.

Doesn't have as many accomplishments to account for it though. If you're talking humility wise then definitely, otherwise Johnson, Lewis or Greene would be better examples.

4m/s wind dude. Everybody running around 10s looks like Bolt with that behind them, +4.1ms wind makes you at least 0.2s quicker than you are in no wind conditions.
It was the fastest electronic timed 100m recorded by a human, even tho it was wind aided. I remember the commentators on BBC at the 1996 Olympics stating that fact back then. Probably done at his national champs that year?? But if u look up justin Gatlin running on a specially made track to help him break the world record of 9 58sec, he does it it about 9.48sec on his own. Check it out Yo 🇮🇪🏅🏃♀️
I've heard many say that Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin gave Usain Bolt the best competition but that is not true. Yes, if because they were from another country, but no, because although Yohan Blake was Bolt's countryman, it was he who gave Bolt the most competition. There is a reason why Bolt called Yohan the Beast! I laugh when I hear posters and commentators say that Noah Lyles is going to beat Bolt's records, never mentioning that he, Noah, would have to try to beat Yohan's first. Viewpoints always amaze me.
What do you mean? Next year for Tokyo 2020's US Trials it will be Coleman vs Lyles vs Baker vs Gatlin vs Bromell, so it's already way more interesting than any other.
