- Ben Johnson initially won the final in a world record time of 9.83 seconds, but was disqualified by the IAAF after he admitted to the use of performance enhancing drugs in 1988.
1 Ben Johnson 9.83WR
2 Carl Lewis 9.93
3 Ray Stewart 10.08
4 Linford Christie 10.14
It’s not johnson reaction time, it’s his acceleration that’s superior.
It most certainly was..he exploded out of the blocks...So much more power than Lewis..His reaction and start were elite
Great commentary from David Coleman and Ron Pickering.
No Johnson didn't false start they set the blocks at .110 reaction Johnson reacted at .129. I think he reacted at .135 at the 1988 Olympics and beat Lewis by more .13 to .10 here in Rome.
Besides that I friggin hate Carl Lewis just was a cocky SOB that according to many of the other sprinters they hated.
yeap, Ben's reacted to the gun in 0.129 seconds, Carl got off in 0.196, nearly seven hundredths difference, Ben won the race at the moment he was off the starting blocks, you can see Ben is nearly vertical at the moment he literally jumps out of the blocks...
Move on 🤡
My comment was seven years ago you absolute mor*n
Are you truly this stupid?
Move on? Commenting on the video you absolute fool
Dwight Stones/NBC - Ben Johnson 30.Aug'87:
"You said you'd run 9.85 and you ran 9.83"
"Yah, I don't talk shit."
Ben jumped out of those blocks like a cat.
Friggin awesome. Carl Lewis so cocky. Incredible to see him brought down a few pegs. Incredible. Of course he was juiced, I know. But Lewis was on shit too. Fortunate for him, the US had the means to cover anything up……
You're exactly right!
Proof it! Stop those baseless accusations!
You don't know that.
Great race remember it well
Minh Ngọc thanks
Ben Johnson oggi correrebbe in 9.50 con le piste attuali e con i farmaci di adesso. Ricordo bene quella gara, partenza regolare di Johnson che diede subito a Lewis un metro di distacco e poi ha mantenuto quel vantaggio fino alla fine, Carl Lewis aveva speso inutilmente troppe energie il giorno prima correndo la sua batteria in 10.05 rallentando vistosamente negli ultimi 40m , ed in semifinale correndo in 10.03 anche qui rallentando negli ultimi metri. Se Carl Lewis avesse risparmiato queste energie avrebbe potuto correre in finale in 9.80 ma questo non avvenne in quanto i suoi ultimi 40m non furono certo come quelli di Helsinki 83 dove Lewis sbaragliò tutti proprio nella seconda metà della gara correndo in modo assolutamente regale!
Johnson would smoke bolt in his prime, his starts were incredible led from start tofinish.
finish wasn't great carl lewis had a quicker last 50 metres
Hazza_g_125 yeah Carl was a great finisher but Ben's starts were amazing
David Illouz Johnson was a cheater. Stop calling him great.
How is it that Johnson would "smoke" Bolt in the 100 meter when Bolt ran under Johnson's best time several times? It's not how you run the race that counts it's who gets to the finish line in the least amount of time that counts and Bolt did that better than Johnson.
@shane michaels You mean Johnson's steroid enhanced potential was never realized. His actual potential was just under 10 seconds. If you want to give him another tenth off for today's better tracks fine, but no way in hell would he have beaten Bolt in his prime or many other sprinters in their primes, there is a very long list of sprinters ahead of Johnson's best legal time. Also it was not up to Jamaica to test Bolt, he was under the same governing body as everybody else.
Highly likely they were all on steroids or HGH or some form. Back then, only urine samples were used in drug tests, blood only came into it post the Sydney Olympics in 2000. They could avoid detection pretty easily with medical assistance. Lewis lost the race at the start but Johnson went further away from him in the first 40, only to be pegged back fractionally in the last 30. One of the great 100’s of all time, irrespective of drugs. Both men in the top ten ever.
The only ones back then that weren’t on drugs were Linford Christie, Calvin Smith and Robson De Souza of Brazil. In my opinion anyway. Apparently Christie tested postive many years later, apart from drinking Ginseng tea in 1988 which caused a positive test, but the IOC confirmed it was due to the tea. Apart from that, he was clean throughout the best part of his career, including his peak years.
@@mrkipling2201 Christie, clean? CLEAN???? Are you serious? Would you have Salazar’s little crew (Farah and Rupp) equally so?
Ben Johnson looked relatively slim here. Amazing how much bulk he built up over the year until that infamous race the next year. Sadly, I personally believe he didn’t need the steroids - his start and foot speed gave him an advantage. And I’ve never seen a start like that (and likely never will).
Yes, he did. That's how he won this race. Smh.
pause the video at 6:16
Lewis didn't congratulate him he told him "you false started"
How do you know. Do you have a source?
@@deanhowell5936 Ben Johnson and then Carl himself. If you haven't watched the espn 30 for 30 9.79 you really should.
6:13 Ben had the perfect execution from start to finish.
Ben beat Lewis a year earlier, just shows Ben still the better athlete...
Have Marian Woronin Was Poland ?
Ben is the better sprinter, Lewis the better long jumper. They are the two best athletes ever!
Ben Johnson's starts are even today still the best but he runs out of gas faster than any of the other elite athletes thats why he was never a threat to cocky arrogant Lewis before he juiced up big time. I feel the predicament he was in and why he chose to take PED's. Imagine knowing that ur faster than anyone else for half of a race and the only thing keeping you from immortality and millions of dollars is just saying ok ill take it. This event also showed signs of things to come with three Jamaican born sprinters in the top four. PS: I believe Carl Lewis also cheated throughout his career its just that he was smart enough to surround himselt with management to help keep him from getting caught with PEDs. I remember seeing clips of him suddenly wearing braces during interviews leading up to the 88 Games which according to Don Catlin is one of the signs of someone taking HGH.
I agree
This particular race had the fastest first 3 strides in the history of sprinting. He looks like he was pushed from behind at the start. It's surreal!
And a certain female that was good but not great
Nonsense…BJ was probably the most talented sprinter in an era where PEDs were the norm. Like all high performance athletes he had to learn how to use his gift. The only advantage he gained from taking stanozolol was that he could withstand a higher volume of training…he still had the genetic potential to obtain the speed endurance that would outdo CL even without the drugs. CL was juicing and was simply beaten by the better all around talent.
Jamaicans had excelled in sprinting prior to this. Don Quarry came second in the 100m final in 1976, only beaten by another Caribbean athlete, Hasley Crawford and was the Olympic champion in the 200m
Today that would be classed as a false start
Definitely not a false start. He just SMOKIFIED lLewis and everyone else.
I hate carl Lewis always complaining
Ben johnson too good
3 of the top 4 finishers are Jamaican. Perhaps a sign of things to come?
ThunderJuice a bunch of cheaters
@@carlmorrow1600 yet no one caught weird that 😆
Ray swart woot woot
What we're the times
Christie like Allen Wells were late developers...WINK WINK!!!!
Slight difference. Wells was a long jumper who moved to sprinting late when he realised he was faster in training than the other British guys.
Wells doctor came out and said he supplied him with steroids and PEDs they were all on them,
I was in the stadium day. Great race but, of course, Johnson was juiced up.
Three Jamaicans born
Disgrace
