Bolt is unique. 6ft 5 with fast twitch muscles of a much shorter sprinter, you can forget about all that running technique stuff. Bolt is the anomaly, the unicorn.
@Truly Charnock He already did? At 6'5 you can't be as technical as a 5'7 flo-jo. Your body just doesn't allow as fast of a stride frequency as a shorter person. Bolt relied on stride length and high (and late) top speed instead and destroyed the world record.
Back then everybody just popped up and ran e.g. Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson. Breaking the 100m down into different phases came later on in the era of Maurice Greene and Marion Jones , coach John Smith I believe was the one who introduced this. And the world saw what both Greene and Jones were able to do.
Actually she saves energy by mitigating her drive phase. Her ability to hold top speed for so long would have been compromised had she accelerated harder. She times this perfectly. Drive phases weren't really around in 1988. Funny that.
The drive phase is one part of the race you can have a strong drive fast but as long as you keep on accelerate without trying to force yourself down that's important so acceleration is important at the end of the day not staying low
Flo Jo has been scientifically examined and her style is far superior to other athletes. Her ground contact is much shorter than other athletes, Her energy conservation was much more efficient, Her ability to reach peak velocity was perfect and her nervous system was much more relaxed. She would be considered the ultimate runner.
I wonder how shed be if she was taller. Small people have so much power, i know one girl with amazing speed who is a shorty. Im 5ft4 she is a bit shorter than me. She came first place in almost every race even when she had an injured leg.
Then why was Flo Jo 's primary race the 400m? I've never seen a world class track athlete drop down and not only dominate, but crush the world record significantly.
@@vincnetjones3037 many have used drugs and couldn’t achieve a form like that. It is taught by the best coaches and intuitively. You have to literally train your mind-body neural network to run that way.
@William Simmons yea and breaking supersonic. On She'Carri I made the example of a "powerboat " the power boat ain't moving till its all out of the water. Only the propeller in the water.
Bolt could've made 9.4's but he used to showbait while finishing. He didn't actually tried to run his best till the finish even if you see his best run he could've done better
The reason why Bolt’s stride got slower is because he has longer legs. And the fact is that short distance runners have short and quick people and tall but kinda slow off the start people. So, when he said Bolt started slow, no he didn’t purposely go slow. His legs are really long and it just takes time for them to get up to speed. Sprinters DO GO 100% the whole way.
@@ses2476 Like cybernetics? It doesn't change the fact that her running form looks the most controlled and steady compared to the other top female runners in every Olympic race, from both start to finish. Even, usain bolt at the start is unsteady and looks like he's jogging at the last few metres.
@Retro Lover Link the evidence and articles if you want to convince people, just saying so without any credibility will not make people think twice about your claim. Since your original comment is vague and doesn't refer to a particular athlete then people are going to dismiss it.
For those who don't understand the point of the video, this vid is *not* talking about who's faster. It's talking about who had better skill and form on the track, which it's obviously Flo-Jo. Bolt never had a good running stride, his starts are not the best, and he always decelerated at the finish line. Flo-Jo had good consistent starts, her stride was damn-near flawless, and she finished all the way through the finish line. If Bolt could've fixed his starts, stride, and finishing speed, he would've hit 9.4s in the 100m guaranteed
@@paris3183 Longer strides have to have a higher optimal apex. Any higher than that and the stride length and speed would decrease, just as in triple jump. But any lower than that and stride length and speed would decrease as well. There is no proof that Bolt had too high apex. The apex is achieved mostly through the achilles, not through long legs. And that is likely what misleads bystanders when looking at Bolt run. e: furthermore, his feet are long, which mess with the angles of his leg joints to produce bounce.
People have forgotten about Carl Lewis. He was one of the first to look like a smooth caddie as well. Then came the brute force runners … Ben Johnson …
It amazes me the Bolt doesn’t need superior technique to kill his competition. The guys upper body sways side to side constantly yet it seems like he still always has a second gear or third gear
@Salih Baba doping doesn’t give one a perfect technique. Use your brain. She might have doped, yes probably. But she TRAINED for that perfect technique.
Even though males are a little bit faster, Flo-Jo is still one of the fastest humans in sport history. She could reached a speed of 21.3245 mph, 34.3184 km/h.
I love how her technique has been scientifically proven to be flawless but even with scientific evidence, people say shes fast because of something else 🤦🏽♂️
@@rich8381 her records should be overturned . No way she ran so fast and till this day those.records stand. I mean for.crying outload she ran with her hair down....at 5'7 and no.physical traits to help her differentiate between her teammates. At least when you see usain bolt and his height. You can make an arguement of his success
@@deuteronomy3166 its not that , its the fact that she has world records that are questionable . Her record is 10.49 with no wind, all while running with her hair down and with jewelry. Even the ladies of today have doubts about her record. Look at marion jones for example , while on steroids her best record was 10.65 and with a wind of 1.2+
I was a sprinter and am 6'5. It's nearly impossible for a guy my height, which is the same height at Usain Bolt's height, to excel at the 100m since it would usually take 80m to 100m for us to get our stride in gear. Bolt obviously is the exception. The 200m and 400m are usually ideal for taller sprinters due to longer and faster strides than shorter sprinters.
Bolt broke the record while playing the last 6 meters of the race, if not, his frequency would have been greater than Flojos. I always wished Bolt would have pushed those last 6 meters. If he had, the record would probably be 9.53s.
The wired had segment on running..... And they scientist said usain bolt was the greatest sprinter so far in history..... Flo jo was 9.27 and bolt was 12.63.... The average female athlete was 8.53 and average male was 9.13. Bolt is clocked a whole 3.50 above average. So idk how he came to these conclusions. Bolt has a slow start but when he picks up no one could beat him. This guy don't know sprinting very much
Analysis of his 100 m WR shows his fastest 10 m split was 60-70 m. Also... I'm reasonably sure Bolt's 0-40 m split that race was the fastest in Track history. So the trope that "Bolt is slow off the line" is not exactly founded.
@@drizzo2099 I believe Bolt was doping, why wouldn't he? The whole Jamaican team dope and not they're successful just as Americans started getting banned. Having said the guy you replied to wasn't saying he was doping.

Flo Jo has the perfect form so she appears to run on air effortlessly but this comes from many years of training and having the best coaching and also intuitively know how to adjust your body to maximize every movement with the least amount of waste.
@@neven8043 scientific fact is measuring, testing a theory repeatedly and getting same results. His theory is pretty close to scientific fact. Only problem is with the word "all".
@@DanielIsraelite they weren't being gay though, they were avoiding Bolt dickriders. There's also nothing gay about comparing people. It can change depending on what you compare though.
Did you notice how Flo Jo looks like a man at 1:10? Even though she never got caught, she was notoriously doped up. She underwent a huge transformation prior to the 1988 Olympics, her appearance suddenly becoming much more muscular and her performances on the 100 and 200 meters dashes improving by more than half a second in only one season. When Florence died in 1998, she was only 38. The results of the autopsy concluded she had an epileptic seizure. Nowadays doping control has improved drastically, so as the commentator concluded, "There's no wonder her record still stands".

Christian Coleman and Noah Lyles two polarizing sprinters. Noah's style reminds me of FloJo and Coleman is like a modern Ben Johnson, blazing out at the start(60m wr) and gradually losing speed towards the end .
Actually Coleman's style is as different from Johnson's as it can be...it's just so complicated that he is hardly able to put it rightfully on the track...a perfect Coleman would have the potential for a high 9.6 at least (with zero wind!)
@@gregorschmidt6888 i don't think he would. he simply doesnt have the top end speed of lyles. i think lyles is more likely to reach 9.6, due to his great finishing in races, and also because starting technique is easier to improve than your top end speed.
This is so interesting. I didn’t know these factors were so important. I thought they just sprinted as hard as they could. Flo Jo looks amazing. She just floats forward.
Flo Jo went from Taylor Swift physique when she barely qualified for the Olympics finishing 4th to Dwayne The Rock Johnson in 2 years.. She knew more about Chemistry than Walter White from Breaking Bad
Wow. Even with the world’s most perfect running technique she is still 1.25 seconds slower than a biological male. So much for there being no physiological difference between both genders.
We do have to consider that Bolt’s legs are significantly longer than most other athletes who sprint. His step frequency suffers as a result of that, as he is needing to bring his legs much further than others to keep up the same rate.
let's all pretend flo jo, jaw lines didn't magically get bigger than mens, her voice didn't get deeper and didn't die from a heart attack.... hmmmm wonder what causes all of that????
@@bamboutubediabs1679 I know she had an epileptic seizure prior to her death, but i’ve not seen anywhere where she had a heart attack. Do you have a link to it ?
It's interesting people want to claim steroids usage but I have seen interviews with commentators who stated that those who were found to have doped didn't even come close to flo jo time. So in a way it's a miracle but it wasn't simply a miracle without tenacity, technique, talent and form. Flo Jo is the best and many try to take her 10.49 record from her but the proof was there was no wind aiding from behind to give her that time. There were no positive tests she was found to be clean. I honestly think if people read the book on Bruce Lee and his beliefs on strength training we will find her results are in her diet, genetics, talent and exercise regimen. Let her Rest In Peace, and put some respect on her name!!!
The Way to Win I don’t remember which one it was called but please bring the video that had to do with making you a faster sprinter and it talked about putting ground force into the track, quickness, and proper form
I've always said that Flo-Jo has the best sprinters form I've ever seen. If you watch Maurice Greene's form, it's the closest form to Flo-Jo's than anyone else. Usain also has excellent form as well. Salute.
@@TheoOJamaloO1 I was waiting for someone such as yourself to oppose my opinion about Usain. Take a better look, Usain's front mechanics were excellent & for his body type it worked perfectly for him. He was the most powerful sprinter of all time & hence why he was the fastest ever. One more thing to note, he had an excellent start & another misconception about him.
She was a 1 in a trillion. Pure talent, and freak of nature. I think if Usain had her execution he'd go sub 9.35 easily. Both 1 in a trillion. Although Blakes 200m race in Brussels 2016, where he had a bad start but finished insanely with 19:26. He'd have smashed Usains 200M. I left the Army in 93, and I ran for Team Solent in the 100 200 4x100m. My fav was 200m. My hero was John Regis. I was same build. But in both 100 and 200m just outside the Sponsored to train full-time. My weakness was my start. I planned to take a year off to concentrate on my start like Colin Jackson. Mike Smith (Rip), was the legendary 400m coach at Team Solent. He trained Roger Black, Ewan Thomas, Chris Akabusi to name a few. He was Team GB sprint coach for 88 Olympics. He said My start needed loads of work, but my pickup was astronomical and elite level. I was clocking 10.71 as a P.B in 94. 0.4 secs away from Sponsored full time back then. My 200 was 22.95, so definitely needed work. The world records back then were still sensible lol. I was only 22. So if I took that year out, I'd not miss much, as I could Peak around 25 to 27. But injury in the Docks forced me to quit. I was only Southern Mens League level and 2nd B race sprinter. So not the best. But the next level up was Elite level British League and International vest. I have no regrets in not making it. I knew deep down I would. Injury just happens, and its life. I broke my back in 03 on a weekend off from T.A SAS Sig Sqn selection, doing a charity parachute jump. Iost everything in 06. I'm now disabled and 48. With no chance of working again. At least I have great memories of being a mega fit Soldier/Athlete, freestyle Street and break dancer. Took yrs to grieve what I lost. But I love Athletics, and love seeing great races. Think there will be another Bolt and Flo Jo. Just when? But they are legends, and will always be them. Rip Flo Jo. Xc
Fantastic video but it amazes me that people can't talk strictly performance and about the incredible athletic abilities of both without tired old inflammatory opinions about doping or incorrect conjecture re Flojo. That's your business. In terms of positive discussion: data and science demonstrate (as per the video) that Flojo executes the race superiorly to Bolt in terms of max speed maintenance/ cadence and stride frequency. End of. Bore off with the doping comments and keep in line with CZcams's code of conduct.
Agree Flo jo, remember you interpret the analytical break down of her race , with out mention of the energy system (muscular) requirement need do perform such feat, therefore performance enhancing drugs were a factor. Just be honest .

Thank you for this analysis! I couldn't agree more... her running style is so perfect. During her world record run, she looks like she's floating above the track. Her technique is amazing.

@@Tko_Seven that's true, but Flo Jo competed in an era where there literally was no random testing and with only very basic in competition testing, so she could get away with taking anything at any dose as long as she allowed enough time to clear before the competition. She retired one week after the announcement of random testing by the IOC.
@@kelainefes when did flojo ever fail the drug test.. she took 11 of them and 1988..that was a forensic inspector at her autopsy they were literally looking for a crime scientifically and couldn't find no traces of wrongdoing that ain't good enough for you... You should be ashamed of yourself
@@sinsin1697 At the time she was competing, the drug tests were completely useless as they were not random but only in competition.

This is sad in court you would lose. So the burden of proof is on the accuser...tell me the name of the drug flojo took specifically.. tell me the date this drug was found in her system.. tell me the date she had to face a panel.. tell me the length of her suspension.. since you are a psychic. This should be easy for you no opinions give me facts
That's why they called hey Flo Jo, she would jist "Float" through the track. I already knew who the winner of this video would be. Usain, while ridiculously talented, was never really technically sound. I wish Floor Jo was alive to write a book and teach is her secrets. RIP Queen.
Usain sets records no one seems to be able to touch...never loses a race until his last and he HAS to be clean. But Flo Jo HAD to be dirty? Huh? Whatever man.
Mi Wynn through shear hard work. He was tested more and harder than everyone during his time due to running all those fast times and WR. Yyou’ve never heard even the slightest drug allegations against him.
Flo-jo had such a beautiful execution, Usain Bolt on the other hand.... Its not his fault, but the way he runs is due to his slightly slanted body which makes his speed a lot more amazing.
I don't think Bolt had a bad technique at all. Sometimes I felt like he could be more relaxed in his upperbody. But guess what everyone has a different distribution of energy and anatomy. What works for A will not work for B. I like both of their running styles. However I feel like Flo Jo was more of a technician
People try to say Flo Jo was doping but doping doesnt give you perfect form, typically it should just provide more power but it doesnt provide technical skill. Which to me proves Flo Jo was in top shape and had perfect execution.
Running fast is a skill similar to the skill of making money. Like any other skill, it is mostly mental. Medicine is helpless if you don't know how to use your mind power.
If Bolt wouldn’t have celebrated early in ‘08, some say he could have gone 9.52. In ‘12, his coach was mad and said he could have done 9.48. Still, Flo-Jo’s and Bolt’s records are safe for awhile.
Joe M watch the video where its side by side. In 08 he definitely would’ve ran faster than in 09. One, because he wasn’t in the same shape he was in 08. Ato Boldon said the same thing about 08’s race. Again, watch the side by side race. You can see he threw away a low 9.5 possibly 9.4 we’ll never know
Joe M - When he won in ‘08 he was cruising to the win. Otto said - “He stopped running!” and wondered what his time would have been. He even said that he threw away 9.59. Watched NBC’s call and Otto made that comment at 4:40.
Joe M WHAT?! He severely decelerated those last 10 OR so meters. Like i said, he threw away possibly an even faster wr in 08. They have two vids showing that he did. He reached an even faster mph in 08 than he did in 09 before “throwing out his arms” the other vid is the side by side. 08 he started pulling away from the 09 vid before, again, throwing out his arms
I am convinced Flo Jo was doped and besides that there was too much wind during that race. Check the flags, but there was a guy standing in font of the wind gauge so less wind was measured. That record should be scrapped...
People are saying that Bolt and Flo-jo use drugs. Look, if you want anyone to believe that crap, then give evidence. Share a link to a video, or an article that shows where these athletes were tested positive for illegal substances. Don't come here telling useless lies based on your jealousy.Smh
There is no doubt in my mind flojo was on drugs for that race. She did that run in the 80's(prime time steroid abuser) in a HEAT! not a final, and no woman ever despite new technology and discoveries in health and fitness training has come even close to that time. This is easily the most impressive record in track and field history. Usain Bolts run doesn't compare. She retired almost immediately after Ben Johnson was "caught" (more like sacrificed). And died from heart issues.
Flo Jo was under the radar of Anti Doping Agency...She took an early retirement very intelligently and fortunately or unfortunately from her angle, had an untimely death.Bolt's past is clean as a slate. This comparison is extremely out of place.
Her record still stands because of early enhance genetic manipulation... to beat the drug test, built in to your genetics, this is why the male 100m record fell so many times but the female record still stands. With better training, better Footwear better nutrition. this is why she died at such an early age this is just my thoughts on it.
Sean Wilson - Bolling broke 10.0 IN HIGHSCHOOL! Also, he runs the 200, does long jump, and his best event is the 400. Expect 2024 to be his Olympiad, whether in individual events (as above) or possibly decathlon. Should be a great ride between now and then.
@@rhythmoriented Is he the wj record holder? No! He broke ten with an hurricane gust. That sub 10 is not legal, so that's irrelevant. That 9.98 is equivalent to 10.13 when adjusted for wind/altitude. What's his personal best legally? 10.11. That's his real time. Good luck to this kid though.
Sean Wilson exactly - only 18! Good luck to him, and as an American I will be rooting for him. Glad you saw the race, as it was shocking how far ahead of others with the same wind. As for Asafa Powell, 97 times he has broken 10.0 - far ahead of any other human (even the great Usain Bolt only did it 52 times).
@@rhythmoriented That's pretty cool that you say that about Asafa Powell. With all of the great runners to ever do it, profile view of Asafa Powell is by far the most majestic form I've ever seen also in my own honest opinion. I found someone who shares the same opinion
Flo-Jo ran in a strong wind that was not measured in her race for some reason (while elsewhere in the field winds measured over 5m/s), and, of course, she was heavily drugged, which might explain why she retired soon after and died at the age of 37 only. She shouldn't be considered and her record should be erased from the list!
This Sports Science is a BEAST! And people wonder why today's athletes have an advantage over athletes of yesteryear. It's simply advancements in technology, medicine, and building on yesteryear's techniques.
I honestly don’t believe Flo Jo was on drugs. Her form was superb. It seemed like she was barely touching the ground. Almost as if she walked around with ankle weights and took them off and started running
Flo Jo was on massive steroids here and also hormone supplements, this was her only race where she decimated the competition. If you look at her time the acceleration to full speed was actually faster than Ben Johnson's which was clearly suspicious. These addons is actually what lead to her health declining. She pushed her self to the limit with these PED's and sadly paid the ultimate price.
Where’s your proof FOOL??!!!???!! YOU. DON’T. HAVE. ANY!!! At the time of her death she ONLY HAD TYLENOL IN HER SYSTEM YOU LYING WYTE BYCH!!!!! Ya just JEALOUS!!
Flo jo competed in many drug tested events running several insanely fast time for a womans 100m, none compared to her record but she still owns several top 100 times outside of thise race. She also has the record in the 200m
The proof is that she mysterious retired at a young age at the top of her sport just months after setting the world records at both the 100 and 200 meter race. With no reported injuries, just about the time that when more stringent drugs testing was about to be enforced.

The reason why Bolt’s stride got slower is because he has longer legs. And the fact is that short distance runners have short and quick people and tall but kinda slow off the start people. So, when he said Bolt started slow, no he didn’t purposely go slow. His legs are really long and it just takes time for them to get up to speed. Sprinters DO GO 100% the whole way.

@@paris3183 Longer strides have to have a higher optimal apex. Any higher than that and the stride length and speed would decrease, just as in triple jump. But any lower than that and stride length and speed would decrease as well. There is no proof that Bolt had too high apex. The apex is achieved mostly through the achilles, not through long legs. And that is likely what misleads bystanders when looking at Bolt run.
e: furthermore, his feet are long, which mess with the angles of his leg joints to produce bounce.

Bolt broke the record while playing the last 6 meters of the race, if not, his frequency would have been greater than Flojos. I always wished Bolt would have pushed those last 6 meters. If he had, the record would probably be 9.53s.
The wired had segment on running..... And they scientist said usain bolt was the greatest sprinter so far in history..... Flo jo was 9.27 and bolt was 12.63.... The average female athlete was 8.53 and average male was 9.13. Bolt is clocked a whole 3.50 above average. So idk how he came to these conclusions. Bolt has a slow start but when he picks up no one could beat him. This guy don't know sprinting very much
Bolt naturally wouldn’t hit full speed till around 70 almost 80 meters, that’s what made him so different. Bro did not rush his start 😂

Bolt had about his best start for his 100 m world record.
Analysis of his 100 m WR shows his fastest 10 m split was 60-70 m.
Also... I'm reasonably sure Bolt's 0-40 m split that race was the fastest in Track history. So the trope that "Bolt is slow off the line" is not exactly founded.

Did you notice how Flo Jo looks like a man at 1:10? Even though she never got caught, she was notoriously doped up. She underwent a huge transformation prior to the 1988 Olympics, her appearance suddenly becoming much more muscular and her performances on the 100 and 200 meters dashes improving by more than half a second in only one season. When Florence died in 1998, she was only 38. The results of the autopsy concluded she had an epileptic seizure. Nowadays doping control has improved drastically, so as the commentator concluded, "There's no wonder her record still stands".

Christian Coleman and Noah Lyles two polarizing sprinters. Noah's style reminds me of FloJo and Coleman is like a modern Ben Johnson, blazing out at the start(60m wr) and gradually losing speed towards the end .
Agreed. Coleman's technique sucks. He always flames out at the end of the race
Actually Coleman's style is as different from Johnson's as it can be...it's just so complicated that he is hardly able to put it rightfully on the track...a perfect Coleman would have the potential for a high 9.6 at least (with zero wind!)
@@gregorschmidt6888 i don't think he would. he simply doesnt have the top end speed of lyles. i think lyles is more likely to reach 9.6, due to his great finishing in races, and also because starting technique is easier to improve than your top end speed.
Lyles has slow starts,he's better at 200 m.
This is so interesting. I didn’t know these factors were so important. I thought they just sprinted as hard as they could. Flo Jo looks amazing. She just floats forward.

We do have to consider that Bolt’s legs are significantly longer than most other athletes who sprint. His step frequency suffers as a result of that, as he is needing to bring his legs much further than others to keep up the same rate.

Flo Jo is the best and many try to take her 10.49 record from her but the proof was there was no wind aiding from behind to give her that time. There were no positive tests she was found to be clean.

But in both 100 and 200m just outside the Sponsored to train full-time. My weakness was my start. I planned to take a year off to concentrate on my start like Colin Jackson. Mike Smith (Rip), was the legendary 400m coach at Team Solent. He trained Roger Black, Ewan Thomas, Chris Akabusi to name a few. He was Team GB sprint coach for 88 Olympics. He said My start needed loads of work, but my pickup was astronomical and elite level. I was clocking 10.71 as a P.B in 94. 0.4 secs away from Sponsored full time back then. My 200 was 22.95, so definitely needed work. The world records back then were still sensible lol. I was only 22. So if I took that year out, I'd not miss much, as I could Peak around 25 to 27.

Mi Wynn through shear hard work. He was tested more and harder than everyone during his time due to running all those fast times and WR. Yyou’ve never heard even the slightest drug allegations against him.
Flo-jo had such a beautiful execution, Usain Bolt on the other hand.... Its not his fault, but the way he runs is due to his slightly slanted body which makes his speed a lot more amazing.
I don't think Bolt had a bad technique at all. Sometimes I felt like he could be more relaxed in his upperbody. But guess what everyone has a different distribution of energy and anatomy. What works for A will not work for B. I like both of their running styles. However I feel like Flo Jo was more of a technician
If bolt and Jo would have a kid it would be the FLASH
She is not running, she's flying.
So early in the video you said no one can maintain 100m at full speed yet Flo Jo was actually increasing speed the further she went
dsoprano13 that’s just not possible, she would have slowed like every one else
She looks like she's increasing her speed but in reality she's decelerating less than everyone else
What is actually happening is the other runners are decelerating at a faster rate than Flo Jo so that gives the illusion of her pulling away.
@Erick Mandujano Also what JJ said
@Erick Mandujano was that pointless of me to tell you?
Flo-Jo also had a heavy wind advantage for that 10.49, not saying she wouldn't have been fast, but that one shouldn't have counted for the WR
People try to say Flo Jo was doping but doping doesnt give you perfect form, typically it should just provide more power but it doesnt provide technical skill. Which to me proves Flo Jo was in top shape and had perfect execution.
Running fast is a skill similar to the skill of making money. Like any other skill, it is mostly mental. Medicine is helpless if you don't know how to use your mind power.

If Bolt wouldn’t have celebrated early in ‘08, some say he could have gone 9.52. In ‘12, his coach was mad and said he could have done 9.48. Still, Flo-Jo’s and Bolt’s records are safe for awhile.
Dave TheRave bolt would have run low 9.6s in 08
Joe M watch the video where its side by side. In 08 he definitely would’ve ran faster than in 09. One, because he wasn’t in the same shape he was in 08. Ato Boldon said the same thing about 08’s race. Again, watch the side by side race. You can see he threw away a low 9.5 possibly 9.4 we’ll never know
Ish Robbins bollox, he put out his arms that’s it don’t act like he jogged the last 10 meters
Joe M - When he won in ‘08 he was cruising to the win. Otto said - “He stopped running!” and wondered what his time would have been. He even said that he threw away 9.59. Watched NBC’s call and Otto made that comment at 4:40.
Joe M WHAT?! He severely decelerated those last 10 OR so meters. Like i said, he threw away possibly an even faster wr in 08. They have two vids showing that he did. He reached an even faster mph in 08 than he did in 09 before “throwing out his arms” the other vid is the side by side. 08 he started pulling away from the 09 vid before, again, throwing out his arms

This is easily the most impressive record in track and field history. Usain Bolts run doesn't compare.
She retired almost immediately after Ben Johnson was "caught" (more like sacrificed). And died from heart issues.
roids is part of olympics if you really think a man can run that fast with PEDS you're mad.
Both are legendary sprinters... simply the greatest ever
Flo Jo was under the radar of Anti Doping Agency...She took an early retirement very intelligently and fortunately or unfortunately from her angle, had an untimely death.Bolt's past is clean as a slate. This comparison is extremely out of place.
Her record still stands because of early enhance genetic manipulation... to beat the drug test, built in to your genetics, this is why the male 100m record fell so many times but the female record still stands. With better training, better Footwear better nutrition. this is why she died at such an early age this is just my thoughts on it.
To date, Asafa Powell has the most beautiful stride in sprint history imho. However, the future belongs to Matt Bolling.
Matt Bolling wont be relevant in the world top class sprinting. He'll be no better than Lemaitre.
Sean Wilson - Bolling broke 10.0 IN HIGHSCHOOL! Also, he runs the 200, does long jump, and his best event is the 400. Expect 2024 to be his Olympiad, whether in individual events (as above) or possibly decathlon. Should be a great ride between now and then.
@@rhythmoriented Is he the wj record holder? No! He broke ten with an hurricane gust. That sub 10 is not legal, so that's irrelevant. That 9.98 is equivalent to 10.13 when adjusted for wind/altitude. What's his personal best legally? 10.11. That's his real time. Good luck to this kid though.
Sean Wilson exactly - only 18! Good luck to him, and as an American I will be rooting for him. Glad you saw the race, as it was shocking how far ahead of others with the same wind.
As for Asafa Powell, 97 times he has broken 10.0 - far ahead of any other human (even the great Usain Bolt only did it 52 times).

That's pretty cool that you say that about Asafa Powell. With all of the great runners to ever do it, profile view of Asafa Powell is by far the most majestic form I've ever seen also in my own honest opinion. I found someone who shares the same opinion
Flo Jo might have been a great technical runner, but she was jacked, and that's why her record still stands.
that mustache on flo-jo though
Yes, and also her name is Flo Jo. You just can't not be a legend with a name like that.
KillBill Grill your grammar made my eyes bleed.
0 his grammar is correct. ‘Can’t not’ is a double negative which equals a positive. This means that Flo Jo’s name suits her legendary status.
@@deviljho4260 you might not understand that, but not everybody is a native English speaker.
Flo-Jo ran in a strong wind that was not measured in her race for some reason (while elsewhere in the field winds measured over 5m/s), and, of course, she was heavily drugged, which might explain why she retired soon after and died at the age of 37 only. She shouldn't be considered and her record should be erased from the list!
Flo Jo is such a beautiful runner. Like she makes it look like an art form. Flawless.
I miss the days of Flo Jo. She was amazing.
Dope video 😉
i see what you did there
Like Usain Bolt

This Sports Science is a BEAST! And people wonder why today's athletes have an advantage over athletes of yesteryear. It's simply advancements in technology, medicine, and building on yesteryear's techniques.
I honestly don’t believe Flo Jo was on drugs. Her form was superb. It seemed like she was barely touching the ground. Almost as if she walked around with ankle weights and took them off and started running
Flo Jo was on massive steroids here and also hormone supplements, this was her only race where she decimated the competition. If you look at her time the acceleration to full speed was actually faster than Ben Johnson's which was clearly suspicious. These addons is actually what lead to her health declining. She pushed her self to the limit with these PED's and sadly paid the ultimate price.
Where’s your proof FOOL??!!!???!! YOU. DON’T. HAVE. ANY!!! At the time of her death she ONLY HAD TYLENOL IN HER SYSTEM YOU LYING WYTE BYCH!!!!! Ya just JEALOUS!!
Flo jo competed in many drug tested events running several insanely fast time for a womans 100m, none compared to her record but she still owns several top 100 times outside of thise race. She also has the record in the 200m
The proof is that she mysterious retired at a young age at the top of her sport just months after setting the world records at both the 100 and 200 meter race. With no reported injuries, just about the time that when more stringent drugs testing was about to be enforced.
@@benden5095 Seems like you were not asleep 😉. Same crap with Usain Bolt, dude comes in jacked up like a Clydesdale horse within 3 months before the Olympics.
These drugs are not going to make me break any records, but they sure as hell will shave me minutes of running and cycling. I don't want to die from those chemicals, so those want glory and greed go ahead.
O OF
You need to wake up and smell the cheating dude🤣
2:24 I don't know what women you've been dating! It's the other way around ...lol
Both of these magnificent athletes had one thing in common, they ate beans every day.
funny ! the juices they gave her must have been one of a kind. The woman was on turbo all of a sudden after she burned al her glycogen ! where was the energy coming from? I am surprised that people still want to believe that this was technique! there is no technique when you are out of fuel ! Biology doesn't allow for this! chemistry allows !
