No doubt. Boldon had Bailey by at least 2 meters about halfway through. I remember watching this race live and thinking that Boldon was going to win, and seemingly out of nowhere comes Bailey.
This race was so inspiring for me, I was 7 at the time and one of the fastest kids my age. Remember my 100 meter and 4x100 relay races that year like it happened yesterday, now DeGrasse is a gold medalist....Love it!
2 legendary calls from Bruce McAvaney in the 100m and 200m. Calling Donovan Bailey breaking a W.R and also another amazing call calling Michael Johnson's 200m W.R also a few days after.
marty smith I don't think would have been anywhere near the medals. He was on the decline here . He ran a seasons best 10.03 here in Atlanta. I think he would have been near Mitchell if he had run. 4th or 5th.
@@BlueToronto so was bolt in the 2017 world championship. 9.58 couldn't beat a 9.90. Everybody say bolt train for big show but strict dope testing 10 flat struggling. A natural 9.58 should never have any trouble with 9.90 runner. Like tyson gay 9.80+/- all day everyday. Positive ped test and je struggling like bolt 10 flat. Like Ben after positive test. Then tumble flip in the relay.
Donovon bailey's last 40 meters was legendary.

Had to re-watch to see how he did that
31 years old, my first memory of tv is watching this live, such a moment, amazing.
I'm 32, exact same feeling lol
Really glad the false start stuff was corrected because this race was horrible starting, but definitely finished outstanding. Bailey was incredible!!
Baileys top speed was phenomenal. He is so poor of the blocks, if he was a good starter he would of ran the low 9.70's

Great call Bruce! Go Donovan bailey the fastest top speed runner on Earth that's clean! 44kph that's 2kph quicker than my scooter ! Damn that's fast .
That finishing was out of this world🔥🔥🔥
Horrible start, stunning end speed...
Kind of like De Grasse
what he was doing on the start.. would gonna be much faster and better record for sure..
Fredericks and Bolden shouldve beaten him.
They should bring back the 2 false starts
That final kick by Bailey was amazing.
Bailey was still accelerating over the final stretch of the race, reminiscent of the great Carl Lewis……amazing run by Donovan Bailey there!!
I had Donavan Bailey protein powder back in the day
He wasn’t. He was just slowing down more slowly in relation to his competitors.
This is literally running in the 90s
Thats the best last 40 meters you will ever see. Donovan bailey simply bad@$$
You never heard of Usain Bolt?
Excellent call by the Aussies. But no one called it like Canada’s late great Don Wittman …
This split times must’ve been crazy for the last 40 metres
Wonder what time Christie would have run if he wasn't disqualified?
That would have been good he has high top end speed at the last 50 didn't get a chance to see him do it one more time
marty smith I don't think would have been anywhere near the medals. He was on the decline here . He ran a seasons best 10.03 here in Atlanta. I think he would have been near Mitchell if he had run. 4th or 5th.
@@darrenshaw767 Still would have liked to see it though . Just for the run itself.
marty smith yes me to. He always performed to his best in finals. He would have had to have been in the form of 93 though to challenge here.
@@darrenshaw767 we'll always have Barcelona. Christie was one of the best. Who do you think will win Tokyo next year?
Lol, what? Ben Johnson move over? Ben Johnson was no Canadian star by 1996.
And to think ussin was faster yet Donovan looked so fast there.
Кажется, что первые метров 20 он не знал бежать ему или нет.
Race starts at 3:16 if yean gat time for dat B.S. LOL
Commentators are horrible smh
he looks like will smith
2:27 usain bolt :v
That aint no world record 😂😂
Bailey, Michael Johnson, Ben Johnson and more guys would takeaway at least 3 gold from bolt in 100 and 200 if they had to compete against him.
You are not taking into account that Bolt would run faster if these names were competing
Don't mention Ben Johnson please. He was ordinary without the drugs.
