While Powell is fourth fastest all-time, he has the most sub 10 second 100m times in history by far. He is considered by many to be the most naturally gifted sprinter with textbook start and drive phases. Seemingly able to run 9 seconds in any condition he will be ironically remembered as the most disappointing sprinter in big finals, unable to win a single world title.

The IAAF set the maximum legal wind limit at 2.0. So you cannot penalize a runner who ran a specific time at the maximum wind reading. Also on their list ties are listed chronologically. Mainly because if runner A breaks a world record and runner B comes later and ties it, (no matter what the legal wind reading is) runner A still will be listed first. Runner B will be listed second but credited with the tie. Even though runner B did not break any record.

View Master Yes Tyson had more favorable conditions, but Blake did not run faster. You can only put someone over an established time/spot if they run faster.

So, as of right now he is tied with, and will be listed after Tyson,

+sydboski I never said Blake ran faster sir... Blake time was achieved with a head wind impeding him to the line. When you calculate the negative wind Blake's time would've been 9.64 or 9.65 seconds... Tyson Gay time with the tail wind pushing him at 2.00 mps, would've been around 9.78 seconds.... The IAAF experiment of wind calculated that a tailwind of 2.00 mps equates to .10 hundredths of a seconds assistance with faster times.... Had Yohan got the same tailwind of 2.00 mps, his time could have been nearing the present world record.... Kabish....

Yes, " Bullet " Bob Hayes. I'm remember him. Besides playing for the Dallas Cowboys, held the World Record in his day, 1960s, in the 100 yd (and not the 100 meter) sprint: 9.1sec. The 100 meters is a little longer at 28 ft , so extrapolating roughly, he would have run anywhere from a 9.8 to 9.9 sec 100 meter. That was well over 50 years ago, when training techniques, shoe technology (for sure) were not nearly as advanced as today. No doubt he could've improved under today's training regimens, technology. Bullet Bob could've given today's sprinters a heck uv a challenge. Could run with the best of them.

Thanks for making the distinction between Blake's and Gay's 9.69 seconds. Gay had a +2.0 wind at his back while Blake had a -0.1 wind in his face; much more impressive!

@Reformsqua

I’ve seen logarithmic graphs that project the fastest time will be 9.48 but that it won’t happen for over 300 years. Interestingly, these graphs were made when the WR was Greene’s 9.79 and it was assumed that the WR progression would proceed logarithmically. According to this assumption the next WR sprinter wasn’t supposed to appear until around 2015-2020. So the appearance of five guys going below 9.79 by 2009 was obviously a surprise. Bolts 9.58 was 100 years ahead of schedule according to the logarithmic interpretation of a graph which plots the 100m progression from 1912. However, if an exponential trend is fitted to the data it predicts that the record will fall to 9.69 by 2015 and to 9.58 by 2025. So we see Bolt is an outlier even when assuming exponential progress, the times of Gatlin, Powell, Gay, and Blake however all conform nicely to the exponential model. If the exponential progression of the 100m WR continues we can expect the fastest man possible to compete in the 2040’s

Yohan black is my favourite sprinter Powell running style is heart touching

Asafa the sub ten king. That dig phase is sublime then it's legs.

Due to the financial compensation structure of professional track and field I think Bolt screwed himself out of a faster time (though made more money). Huge bonuses are awarded for each WR break. If you leave everything on the track too early, you miss out on serious $$,$$$,$$$! Incremental record breaks (in the right high profile meets) get you the largest and most numerous payouts from meet organizers, endorsees, and sponsors. This is why he pulled up so often in his early career. Later when he went full-bore he had likely lost a step and we never saw his true fastest time.

@@richardgallimore5976 I agree. We have seen the best of Bolt. This holding back for WR times theory doesn't hold up. The only argument is that if he trained even harder and dedicated even more of his life to performing he may have done even better overall. But that's not who he is.

Didn’t even need to watch video to get answer, right in the title lol

Bolt put athletics on the world map. Everyone wanted to watch a Bolt race even if it was just an IAAF Diamond League race. Once he retired, the popularity plummeted. I dare say that most people don't even know who won the 100m, 200m and 4X100m at last Olympic Games.

Bob Hayes. 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Men's 4 x 100 relay final.

what's the soundtrack

You cannot rank sprinters by their best records. Their records are affected by their form at the time and wind speed. A better way to rank them is to average the results of their head to head meets.

NO one could beat Ben Johnson when he was at his best. He was 3 decades ahead of the time these sprinters are running today.

I was about to say this. Carter is one of my favourite sprinters.

Gatlin has a powerful upper body strength, amazing...❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲

Powell destroyed the field with as much ease as Bolt did in the 2008 Olympics 100M final, he looked set to rule for a decade. He was a bit ignorant, not cunning and malicious about the 2014 doping ‘scandal’. That was a joke (supplement with obscure ingredient that lowers blood press). I believe the personal tragedy - deaths of 2 brothers, and injury messed up his performance trajectory before and after the 2008 Olympics.

Powell's time would have been faster had he not eased up the last 5 meters.

I’d love to see Usain bolt , Jesse Owens , Carl Lewis, Maurice Green, and Ben Johnson in a race. All of them get the same workout equipment. No supplements, no ped’s, no high tech training facilities. Just basic equipment.... that would be something to see
