I dont know that we will ever see an athlete break the 100m record without a major change to the track surface, shoes, and clothing. When multiple athletes start going sub-9.7, I'll start believing it can be done.
I do not think the record will be broken in my lifetime. No other athlete has even beat Bolts third fastest time. It will take another once in a lifetime athlete to even come close to his level of speed, grace, and power.

...unless the technology "improves" and WA lets it fly again, as they did with endurance shoes and track surfaces. In other words, the athlete who will beat this world record does not need to be as good as Bolt.
In the interview where Powell was asked about Bolt's records, he said that, "we [the Jamaican sprinters] spoiled the world." I couldn't agree more. If we look at the times before the Jamaican legends, even if you count in Asafa's world records, which went down to 9.72, the world record competition would still be somewhat close, and I could see the 100m records dropping bit by bit as it did previously. Of course, this isn't 'boring' or anything, but having Bolt and also Yohan Blake suddenly come along to destroy the records was just crazy and amazing to watch. They brang along massive excitement and anticipation to track and field. We've truly been spoiled.
I've seen plenty comments which state (paraphrasing), "We were spoilt in the Bolt era because he made everyone believe and want to run much faster." 9.8s and 9.7s were becoming sich a staple, we forgot how phenomenal what standard of sprinting truly represented. Asapha may have never won the gold at major championships but his records are nothing to scoff at. In this generation, he'd be unbeatable. So we are strapped-in for a ling with this 100m record. I think we just need to support track and field and keep hoping the world's best will push themselves to great heights. Thanks for the video.

Bolts record will be eventually broken. Reminds me of when I heard of Roger Bannister breaking into a 3 minute mile. Until he did it, no person on earth thought it was possible. Now theres plentitude of athletes that have done it. There's eventually always going to be someone stronger and faster at some point on the history timelines
although it was rough, I made a trend line of 100m world records after Jim Hines excluding Bolt's time. It predicted that someone should only have set a time that fast in 2080!!! just goes to show how fast he was.
I don't understand how you made that line. Without Bolt the record would've dropped from 9.95 to 9.69 in 40 years (0.26s improvement). How would it take 70 years for the last 0.11s?

To just assume that it's now when the past 20 years haven't really given any reason to think that doesn't make sense to me. Also, the record before bolt was 9.72s, it makes a minimal difference with the 9.69 I mentioned
bolt beat the world record a few weeks before i was born. now im finishing my freshman year of high school with honours. wtf this man's record is ageless
No way, 9.58 is unassailable this decade at least, none of the current crop can touch it. Blake, Gay, Gatlin and Powell were all generational talents, all faster than everyone running today, and they couldn't come close - clearly it takes more than a generational talent to run 9.5, so Bolt's record may last many decades. Many people say that Bolt rewrote the formula for superelite sprinting because him aside, you can be 5'9 like Blake and run 9.69, but it's hard to see how someone can reach his top speed without being similarly tall to Bolt because nobody else in history has ever produced the same stride frequency + stride length as him. Nobody else has ever covered 10m in 0.81 like him - the next best is 0.83. Asafa ran that and he's 6'3, and many say his record runs had perfect form. Comparing 9.58 to 9.69 are two different stories. 7 sprinters who would have run 9.69 - 9.71 with the maximum legal wind - Greene, Gatlin, Coleman, Kerley, Bromell, Omanyala and Jacobs. Even Lyles's 9.83 last year in still wind would be 9.73 with a +2.0m/s, and Lyles hasn't focused on the 100 for long. Greene's 9.82 in Edmonton all the way back in 2001 would have been 9.71 with max wind - and that's even with him limping the last 20m, where his final 10m was 0.90 - the same split as Bolt's showboating 9.69 in Beijing, and Powell jogging 9.74 in Rieti. We should get a 9.7 guy every generation from this point forward because that's what we've already had (half a dozen of them in this generation), plus junior records are being broken by Erriyon Knighton and Christian Miller, and with advancements to spikes etc. it's what you'd expect. 9.69 is reachable soon. Any 9.58 isn't guaranteed at all, not to be expected in every generation and I don't think will fall for many decades - but if it does, it will come from someone born after I'd say 2004 as I'd expect they'd be someone yet to emerge at the elite level - kind of like how Asafa and Donovan Bailey didn't become world-class until 21+.
honestly sometimes i feel Usain bolt is very lucky that i did not pick up sprinting as a profession or no one would even know him. I would ahve won all those championships and he would be a nobody
He also has the 2nd and 3rd fastest times ever. Maybe the high schooler who is rank number 1 over the 100m at the moment,could break it in the future if he grows taller and stronger.
Actually no, because Bolt doesn't have the triple-triple, he only has 8 gold medals at the Olympics as Jamaica got DQ from 2008 4x100m due to Nester Carter testing positive for a banned substance
@TobyFromGT Jamaica got DQ so Bolt doesn't have the triple-triple, doesn't matter that it wasn't Bolt who doped. Because by that logic, Hughes, Kilty and Mitchell-Blake deserve the Bronze medal from Tokyo Olympics because it was only Ujah who was doping. That doesn't make sense. Would Jamaica have won without Carter, probably. Did they win with Carter, yes so got the DQ. That's all that matters
@TobyFromGT Jamaica got DQ, Bolt has 8 Olympic gold medals, end of story, no but he won his leg pr it was only Carter who doped, none of that matters, the only thing that matters is who crossed the finish line first where all 4 runners didn't cheat. Also if the NBC article is from before Jan 2017, then yes it will say Bolt had the triple triple because that's when thry found Nester Carter to have been doping.
I’m saying at least 40 years. I feel like Bolt changed the game of sprinting and we haven’t caught on. I feel the only way to get close is another taller guy with that fast twitch muscle. He never looked like he was sprinting due to his stature. Or find an unlimited stamina Coleman.
Hines set the world record at the 68' Olympics at altitude. So there is that. The record was one of the first to use the new technology of electronic timing. Hence the 9.95 is to the hundredths of a second. Prior to that Hines and some other athletes had run 9.9 seconds. But this was the first instance of sprinting records were electronically timed to the hundredth. The record stood for so long for several reasons. Hines was incredibly fast. The track was a newer surface and most importantly the huge altitude factor. Every sprint records 100m, 200, 400m and relays were all new world record coming out of this Olympics. The altitude played a HUGE factor. Also note that no other track meets of note were ever held at this stadium. It is 7349 feet or 2240m high. The progression for the men's 100m table attached explains the instance of electronic timing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_100_metres_world_record_progression
Bolt is clearly the best sprinter ever...but more than that. If you look at all runners, middle distance, long distance in total.....he is the best runner ever. No qualifying adjectives needed. The best runner EVER.
Michael Johnson is in contention. 200m - He took a full 0.4 seconds off the previous 200m record holder who had held it for 17 years, and his record was only surpassed by Bolt after 12 years. He's still 4th on the all time list. 400m - His record stood for 17 years, only broken in 2016. He remains the second fastest ever. 300m - Not often contested, but his time stood for 17 years. he was also known for being very consistent and having perfect technical form.
id imagine bolts 9.58 will last at as long as michael johnsons 400m record did at minimum but its probably more like 20 since neither lyles or coleman is getting close the best bet atm is tebogo but perhaps if he fcouses on 400m he may never reach his 100m potential
All these people saying Bolt's 9.58s record will not be broken for a very long time SO CONFIDENTLY, as if there is no chance a 17 year old right now breaks the record in like 4-5 years. I'm not saying it's either easy or probable, but if Bolt did it, the next one to surpass him could be anyone anywhere anytime. I would be (emotionally) surprised if it gets broken in a few years, but the math checks out, so we're just all collectively and, more importantly, consciously pretend it's impossible.
'm Kenyan. WE do the distance. I never thought anyone would break Kipchoge's world record in the marathon in a long while. Then, Kelvin Kiptum broke it. IT's so sad that we lost him. He was going to attempt the sub two hour marathon this year (April 2024) in ROtterdam but sadly, God had his own plans. WE lost him through a road accident. YEs, this is about sprinting and Usain Bolt. Just as we thought no one was going to break the marathon world record in the near future, someone will break Bolt's world record .....perhaps this decade. It can happen. I cannot put it out of the realms of possibility.
I was 10 at the time, and I told myself that this man will run an even greater time in the next olympics. It didn't happen, but looking at the sprinting scene now, this record will not be falling anytime soon. Tebogo might come close, but i dont think he will break the 100m record. The 100m WR should have way more points than the 200m WR.
These records can fall quickly. Kipchoge was thought to be untouchable. And then his world record was gone, taken by a man who had not even run a competitive marathon one year earlier.
Bolt 200m record maybe in the next 10years. But is 100m record is on another level and gta more than double the time between every release so 2050 for gta 7 is a good guess.
First, I don't see anyone capable of that time that is alive and sprinting today. So add 15-20 years to the existing 14 plus. Secondly, it will take a unique physical specimen , much like Bolt, to break the record. Sprinters of his "length" and speed are dam near one in a ?????. To sum it up, I'm a 62 year old sprinting coach of 35 years. I believe I will be dead and long past that before anyone even looks like they are capable of that speed. Bolts record is super unique, as he himself is. Short of a drug enhanced freak run ( ala Ben Johnson) all of us posting comments here will not be present to see a new 100 m world record.
As someone who never thought Hines record would be broken I think it will be broken but not in our lifetime for the reasons that you mentioned. A gap of .10 is massive in 100 m and the current generation of off by over .2 seconds. No chance for the foreseeable future.
One thing I’d like to see analyzed is what distance race would have the fastest average time. In the 60 m, they are just getting up to speed and don’t have long to hold that speed. In the hundred meters, they get up to top speed, and then our slightly slowing down by the end of the race. What distance race would have the best average speed? Would it be slightly shorter or slightly longer than the hundred meters?
The fastest race from gun to finish is Bolts 150m WB from 2009 where he ran 14.35s which gives an average speed of 10.45 m/s, while his 100m and 200m WRs give an average speeds of 10.43 m/s and 10.42 m/s respectively. If you take reaction time out of the equation, Bolts 100m WR with his 0.146s reaction time, gives an average speed of 10.6 m/s. Yohan Blakes 200m time of 19.26 with his reaction time of 0.269 gives and average speed of 10.53 m/s. I can't find an official reaction time for Bolts 150m record but at a minimum (a 0.1s reaction time as more time would be spent running), it would be 10.53 m/s. A 0.2s reaction time would give an average speed of 10.6 m/s. And he probably could have ran faster if not for the rain and the track being temporary. So I would say the fastest distance is somewhere between 100m and 150m. As even though athletes start to slow down at the end of the 100m, the speed they are running at is still higher than the average speed due to the time spent accelerating.
Didn’t know about Jim Hines. Very interesting because Mexico City is at altitude which may have made it harder (less oxygen) but also easier (less air means less drag). I wonder about sprinting at altitude. Interesting!
Well, bolt is lucky because Fred Kerley was going to break it a few years back,until Bolt asked him not to,but Fred has decided to break it in a couple of days.
I believe people need to run under 9.80 regularly to have a realistic shot at 9.58 and since that ain't happening I think minimum Bolts record still has another 5 years
It’s as safe as any record out there. There’s no good way to predict if a record will fall >5-10 years out. We’re just playing the genetic lottery whether the right person with the right training will come along. The pace athletes are pushing world records in all of track, especially the 200, I wouldn’t rule out much beyond 10 years. But it also wouldn’t surprise me if it holds up for 30 or 40 years. It would be interesting to get an in depth statistical analysis, I imagine they could get some pretty well informed probability forecasts. I’m not the statistician to do it, but I imagine there would be some nerds out there who would love to dive into it if you gave them the right dataset. Possible future video?

Relaxed muscles are fast muscles. that's why sprinters in slow motion look bored lol. just an FYI we gotta stop ppl from saying this stuff. almost NEVER is a runner actually "jogging" and far from unheard of. in fact many PB's are done doing this. you are so relaxed BC you ran such a good race. at the end it only appears he's "jogging". he's not. unless you see a sprinters knee drive all but stop, they are going just as fast regardless of if they look around or more often stop using their arms as much. it's just a flex designed to make ppl think they arent trying. that's all.

Weird comment. There are plenty of great 100m sprinters, but a generational talent is required to beat Bolt’s records.
If a record looks unbreakable🤨🤔, maybe it is a CD🤭!
You should be prosecuted 💀
@@B1gBossMan hahahaa
Couldnt have happened to a better athlete.. we love lightening bolt!!!!!
Never be broken ❤
The sprinter that breaks this record may not have been born.
9.58 is just so much faster than what people are running now
Bolts record will be eventually broken. Reminds me of when I heard of Roger Bannister breaking into a 3 minute mile. Until he did it, no person on earth thought it was possible. Now theres plentitude of athletes that have done it. There's eventually always going to be someone stronger and faster at some point on the history timelines
I think Bolt's record will stand for another 14 years (and then some).
I think Tobogo probably has a chance if he can stay healthy.
no!
although it was rough, I made a trend line of 100m world records after Jim Hines excluding Bolt's time. It predicted that someone should only have set a time that fast in 2080!!! just goes to show how fast he was.
I don't understand how you made that line. Without Bolt the record would've dropped from 9.95 to 9.69 in 40 years (0.26s improvement). How would it take 70 years for the last 0.11s?
@@thijsbeentjes4008he may have only considered records before Bolt. Also the trend line isn't going to be linear as that would assume we'd eventually have a record of 0 seconds
@@josueetcom progress will slow eventually, but when that'll be is impossible to know beforehand. To just assume that it's now when the past 20 years haven't really given any reason to think that doesn't make sense to me.
Also, the record before bolt was 9.72s, it makes a minimal difference with the 9.69 I mentioned
Shout out to the cameraman for keeping up with Usain Bolt😮💨
bolt beat the world record a few weeks before i was born. now im finishing my freshman year of high school with honours. wtf this man's record is ageless
Tyson Gay's fastest 2nd-Place time of 9.71s is also standing just as long as Bolts 9.58s 1st-Place time.
Actually Bolt’s first place time is .13s older than Gay’s 2nd place time 🤓

No way, 9.58 is unassailable this decade at least, none of the current crop can touch it. Blake, Gay, Gatlin and Powell were all generational talents, all faster than everyone running today, and they couldn't come close - clearly it takes more than a generational talent to run 9.5, so Bolt's record may last many decades.
Many people say that Bolt rewrote the formula for superelite sprinting because him aside, you can be 5'9 like Blake and run 9.69, but it's hard to see how someone can reach his top speed without being similarly tall to Bolt because nobody else in history has ever produced the same stride frequency + stride length as him. Nobody else has ever covered 10m in 0.81 like him - the next best is 0.83. Asafa ran that and he's 6'3, and many say his record runs had perfect form.
Comparing 9.58 to 9.69 are two different stories. 7 sprinters who would have run 9.69 - 9.71 with the maximum legal wind - Greene, Gatlin, Coleman, Kerley, Bromell, Omanyala and Jacobs. Even Lyles's 9.83 last year in still wind would be 9.73 with a +2.0m/s, and Lyles hasn't focused on the 100 for long.
Greene's 9.82 in Edmonton all the way back in 2001 would have been 9.71 with max wind - and that's even with him limping the last 20m, where his final 10m was 0.90 - the same split as Bolt's showboating 9.69 in Beijing, and Powell jogging 9.74 in Rieti. We should get a 9.7 guy every generation from this point forward because that's what we've already had (half a dozen of them in this generation), plus junior records are being broken by Erriyon Knighton and Christian Miller, and with advancements to spikes etc. it's what you'd expect.
9.69 is reachable soon. Any 9.58 isn't guaranteed at all, not to be expected in every generation and I don't think will fall for many decades - but if it does, it will come from someone born after I'd say 2004 as I'd expect they'd be someone yet to emerge at the elite level - kind of like how Asafa and Donovan Bailey didn't become world-class until 21+.
@@rolandleslie2564LMAO.
We'll never live to see someone break his record.
It kind of feels like that record isn’t even Bolt’s absolute best. Crazy.
THIS RECORD IS STILL GONNA HOLD FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS.
It is one of those records where you wonder if anyone will ever break it. I'm sure someone will, but it seems very unlikely anyone is even close atm.
54 years.
honestly sometimes i feel Usain bolt is very lucky that i did not pick up sprinting as a profession or no one would even know him. I would ahve won all those championships and he would be a nobody
I dont even know you but I believe you buddy boy...😮
@@richardtominaga8957 thanks lil sis
Its the same as the 100 point game of Chamberlain, the 55 rebound game also will never be broken.
He also has the 2nd and 3rd fastest times ever. Maybe the high schooler who is rank number 1 over the 100m at the moment,could break it in the future if he grows taller and stronger.
Just amazing!😀
And still more to go as i can see Noone right now who is breaking it.
20 years and we will see a bio mechanic optimized runner that broke his record 😂
I think it could take another 10 years... for someone to get within a tenth of a second of it.
Crazy to realize that 2009 was 14 years ago 😂 Time flies… just like Usain Bolt
Someone breaks it before 2050 but Bolt will still be the only sprinter to have triple-triple in Olympics even at that point🤣
Actually no, because Bolt doesn't have the triple-triple, he only has 8 gold medals at the Olympics as Jamaica got DQ from 2008 4x100m due to Nester Carter testing positive for a banned substance
@@maxb4085 nesta Carter tested positive not bolt so therefore it’s still counted because if they didn’t had nesta Carter they would’ve won anyway
@TobyFromGT Jamaica got DQ so Bolt doesn't have the triple-triple, doesn't matter that it wasn't Bolt who doped. Because by that logic, Hughes, Kilty and Mitchell-Blake deserve the Bronze medal from Tokyo Olympics because it was only Ujah who was doping. That doesn't make sense.
Would Jamaica have won without Carter, probably. Did they win with Carter, yes so got the DQ. That's all that matters
@@maxb4085 doesn’t matter Bolt won his part of the relay triple triple it’s uploaded on NBC Sports etc it’s a feat
@TobyFromGT Jamaica got DQ, Bolt has 8 Olympic gold medals, end of story, no but he won his leg pr it was only Carter who doped, none of that matters, the only thing that matters is who crossed the finish line first where all 4 runners didn't cheat.
Also if the NBC article is from before Jan 2017, then yes it will say Bolt had the triple triple because that's when thry found Nester Carter to have been doping.
100 years
It could be 50 years, we're gonna need another 6ft+ Beast to come along
When people think this is a great accomplishment then a raccoon runs beside your car going 40 mph and hangs there for three hundred yards 😂.
The last line was a nice pun.
this record will stand until we invent teleportation
No one's coming anywhere near Bolt's drug tainted records anytime soon.
I’m saying at least 40 years. I feel like Bolt changed the game of sprinting and we haven’t caught on. I feel the only way to get close is another taller guy with that fast twitch muscle. He never looked like he was sprinting due to his stature. Or find an unlimited stamina Coleman.
Hines set the world record at the 68' Olympics at altitude. So there is that. The record was one of the first to use the new technology of electronic timing. Hence the 9.95 is to the hundredths of a second. Prior to that Hines and some other athletes had run 9.9 seconds. But this was the first instance of sprinting records were electronically timed to the hundredth. The record stood for so long for several reasons. Hines was incredibly fast. The track was a newer surface and most importantly the huge altitude factor. Every sprint records 100m, 200, 400m and relays were all new world record coming out of this Olympics. The altitude played a HUGE factor. Also note that no other track meets of note were ever held at this stadium. It is 7349 feet or 2240m high. The progression for the men's 100m table attached explains the instance of electronic timing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_100_metres_world_record_progression
These US Athletes are swinging it's gonna be a true test , maybe by the next two Olympic.
After 15 years, Usain Bolt’s record is beaten…by Usain Bolt.
Bolt is clearly the best sprinter ever...but more than that. If you look at all runners, middle distance, long distance in total.....he is the best runner ever. No qualifying adjectives needed. The best runner EVER.
Michael Johnson is in contention.
200m - He took a full 0.4 seconds off the previous 200m record holder who had held it for 17 years, and his record was only surpassed by Bolt after 12 years. He's still 4th on the all time list.
400m - His record stood for 17 years, only broken in 2016. He remains the second fastest ever.
300m - Not often contested, but his time stood for 17 years.
he was also known for being very consistent and having perfect technical form.
@@appa609 Good points
The person who will breack the 9.58 is now there
Somebody needs to break Justin Gatlins record first to even think about breaking his record.
What record does gatlin have?
id imagine bolts 9.58 will last at as long as michael johnsons 400m record did at minimum but its probably more like 20 since neither lyles or coleman is getting close the best bet atm is tebogo but perhaps if he fcouses on 400m he may never reach his 100m potential
Yeah this record ain’t getting broken in the next 5 years lol😂 probably not even the next 15 years
Nobody's even remotely close. I think it'll stand for 50 years.
All these people saying Bolt's 9.58s record will not be broken for a very long time SO CONFIDENTLY, as if there is no chance a 17 year old right now breaks the record in like 4-5 years.
I'm not saying it's either easy or probable, but if Bolt did it, the next one to surpass him could be anyone anywhere anytime. I would be (emotionally) surprised if it gets broken in a few years, but the math checks out, so we're just all collectively and, more importantly, consciously pretend it's impossible.
You can add another fourteen years to his record.He is the greatest sprinter of all time.
His record will never be beaten.
'm Kenyan.
WE do the distance.
I never thought anyone would break Kipchoge's world record in the marathon in a long while.
Then, Kelvin Kiptum broke it.
IT's so sad that we lost him. He was going to attempt the sub two hour marathon this year (April 2024) in ROtterdam but sadly, God had his own plans. WE lost him through a road accident.
YEs, this is about sprinting and Usain Bolt.
Just as we thought no one was going to break the marathon world record in the near future, someone will break Bolt's world record .....perhaps this decade. It can happen.
I cannot put it out of the realms of possibility.
It will stand for half a century
Still the greatest!!!
I was 10 at the time, and I told myself that this man will run an even greater time in the next olympics. It didn't happen, but looking at the sprinting scene now, this record will not be falling anytime soon. Tebogo might come close, but i dont think he will break the 100m record.
The 100m WR should have way more points than the 200m WR.
9.58 is about to be shattered by Fred Kerley, y'all!

These records can fall quickly. Kipchoge was thought to be untouchable. And then his world record was gone, taken by a man who had not even run a competitive marathon one year earlier.
A generation equals 20 years.
If Bolt has babies with a world class female sprinter, then it will be about 30 years from now, 45 years total.
It may not be broken in the next 100 years.

Dont forget his 200m world record had been around just as long🤷♂️
First, I don't see anyone capable of that time that is alive and sprinting today. So add 15-20 years to the existing 14 plus. Secondly, it will take a unique physical specimen , much like Bolt, to break the record. Sprinters of his "length" and speed are dam near one in a ?????. To sum it up, I'm a 62 year old sprinting coach of 35 years. I believe I will be dead and long past that before anyone even looks like they are capable of that speed. Bolts record is super unique, as he himself is. Short of a drug enhanced freak run ( ala Ben Johnson) all of us posting comments here will not be present to see a new 100 m world record.
I think the 200m record could be broken, but the 9.58 might stand for decades
As someone who never thought Hines record would be broken I think it will be broken but not in our lifetime for the reasons that you mentioned. A gap of .10 is massive in 100 m and the current generation of off by over .2 seconds. No chance for the foreseeable future.
One day a sprinter may break it.
But it will be at high altitude with a +2.0 wind.
It will be some years before it's broken
Guess what? He's going to break this record again tomorrow.
One thing I’d like to see analyzed is what distance race would have the fastest average time. In the 60 m, they are just getting up to speed and don’t have long to hold that speed. In the hundred meters, they get up to top speed, and then our slightly slowing down by the end of the race. What distance race would have the best average speed? Would it be slightly shorter or slightly longer than the hundred meters?
The fastest race from gun to finish is Bolts 150m WB from 2009 where he ran 14.35s which gives an average speed of 10.45 m/s, while his 100m and 200m WRs give an average speeds of 10.43 m/s and 10.42 m/s respectively.
If you take reaction time out of the equation, Bolts 100m WR with his 0.146s reaction time, gives an average speed of 10.6 m/s.
Yohan Blakes 200m time of 19.26 with his reaction time of 0.269 gives and average speed of 10.53 m/s.
I can't find an official reaction time for Bolts 150m record but at a minimum (a 0.1s reaction time as more time would be spent running), it would be 10.53 m/s. A 0.2s reaction time would give an average speed of 10.6 m/s. And he probably could have ran faster if not for the rain and the track being temporary.
So I would say the fastest distance is somewhere between 100m and 150m. As even though athletes start to slow down at the end of the 100m, the speed they are running at is still higher than the average speed due to the time spent accelerating.

Didn’t know about Jim Hines. Very interesting because Mexico City is at altitude which may have made it harder (less oxygen) but also easier (less air means less drag). I wonder about sprinting at altitude. Interesting!
Usain and I share each other's birthday
Well, bolt is lucky because Fred Kerley was going to break it a few years back,until Bolt asked him not to,but Fred has decided to break it in a couple of days.
It should stand for another 10 years at least
100years!!!!
Bro made me really mad with that title and thumbnail thinking it was clickbait and then being happy that bolt did break a record
record standing for at least 35 years!
I thought this was coming up.
I believe people need to run under 9.80 regularly to have a realistic shot at 9.58 and since that ain't happening I think minimum Bolts record still has another 5 years
I give Tebogo a 1% chance at breaking the one-hundred-meter record, only one percent.
23 years (9 more years)
It’s as safe as any record out there. There’s no good way to predict if a record will fall >5-10 years out. We’re just playing the genetic lottery whether the right person with the right training will come along. The pace athletes are pushing world records in all of track, especially the 200, I wouldn’t rule out much beyond 10 years. But it also wouldn’t surprise me if it holds up for 30 or 40 years. It would be interesting to get an in depth statistical analysis, I imagine they could get some pretty well informed probability forecasts. I’m not the statistician to do it, but I imagine there would be some nerds out there who would love to dive into it if you gave them the right dataset. Possible future video?
This 100m is just unbreakable until the end of time. The 200 for sure may go down within the next 5-10 years but not the 100.
What's the wind adjusted time for Yohan Blake if he also had 0.9 m/s like Bolt instead of the -0.1 m/s that he had??
