I saw a video that a biomechanics expert reckoned Owen’s run would have seen him clearly finish second to Bolt if you account for a cinder track vs synthetic track & the advantage you get from starting blocks. Whether that really true it’s certainly the case old times would be much quicker on modern tracks, blocks & modern shoes.
Even on a Cinder block track Bob Hayes anchor leg of the 4x100 is believed to be around 8.6 which was faster than Bolt. Hayes said he only ran as fast as he needed to. When the NFL Zone Defense is created to defend you that means you are fast.
@@JA_WILL 8.6 feels implausible but I have no doubt under 10 would have gone much earlier had those athletes has access to similar conditions as modern runners. Blocks I think are about 2/10ths & if the track difference was only 1/10th that 10flat at least in 1936. I suspect a 1936 track vs 2010s track is probably more the a 1/10th.

Yes,World Wars I and II intervened so no Olympics could be held on those occasions. Unless they give out gold,silver and bronze medals for trench warfare and tank battles.
It's weird to think that the winner as recently as 1992 would have finished last in 2024. Even among the 2008 final times, Bolt would still have won in 2024 but Richard Thompson (silver) would have been second to last and all the others last. This year there were four athletes who ran under 10 seconds in the semis and didn't even qualify for the final.
Bolt was a doper, like many of the Jamaicans, US, Western Europeans, but protected because he is part of a business model that is to be protected at all costs. Even more doping in football, rugby, gridiron/baseball/Basketball. Basically anywhere that money is to be made there's doping at the top level. It's ALL business.

@@stevencooke6451 Good looks, thank you! Very in depth video. Appreciate it. Amazing that the 1904 Olympics took so many months!! And how the 4th place runner from Cuba literally got sick and fell asleep, and still woke up and finished so close to a medal.
1928, after the race it said ‘de winnaar is…’ which of course means ‘the winner is’ in Dutch. The event was held in Antwerp and Belgium claimed the most medals with 35. Their second best ever result was 12 medals. So there was something fishy about Belgium organizing and winning almost every event they entered.
Back in the early days, the inside lane was the coveted spot, and runners were positioned 1 to 8, based on qualifying time and/or preference. It wasn't until after WW2, and improved surfacing, that it was determined that the middle lanes were the best places to be.
On a dirt and cinders track, lane 1 always got chewed up worse than the other lanes because of the distance events. Some sprinters weren't so crazy about having lane 1. As you mention, that became a moot point once they started using synthetic tracks
Really strange how they only caught the non-US Sprinter Ben Johnson while Carl Lewis was obviously doping as well. Imagine if Ben Johnson wasn´t a Canadian/Jamaican sprinter...
Fun fact: Ben Johnson, the former 100m winner in 1988, was disqualified due to testing positive to the drug "Stanazolol" which boosts muscles. Carl Lewis is known as the real winner of the 100m. Edit: This video was actually 1908 - 2012.
When they retested samples from Carl Lewis and Linford Christie a year later they found Stanazolol in their blood too. Johnson just got his dates wrong.

is there any way to get the best quality footage for the sprint? I mean, I was not surprised by low quality in early 1900... but then I see Bolt in 2008.. I believe I've got it at least in full HD somewhere...
Jim Winters was a kid I went to junior high school with he wince ran a 10.8 yard dash with less flyers and a rabbis foot out inside his pocket and Tuff Skins jeans on and when you adjust it it’s like 10.3 100 meters
How many of these winners are actually legitimate? The Scot who won in 1980, for instance, has had basically everyone he ever worked with come out and tell stories of his doping, including, in a secret recording, the British sprint team doctor. Similarly Gatlin twice tested positive, Lewis tested positive for something, but was let off, but it would be incredible if he was really clean given that we know that would make him basically the only man of his era (and in that case, how did he beat them?). Even Maurice green has been accused. The only ones I'd be confident in would be those pre-1970 and Usain Bolt (who just so clearly has a massive physical advantage in his stride length).
Lewis' 'failed' drug test was when he was found with 6ppm of stimulants in a sample, a level which only warranted 'further investigation' not a ban - and that small level doesn't even count as a positive test under today's rules.
Even though he was juiced out of his mind, there's something just wild about Ben Johnson's win in 1988. The way explodes out the blocks with both feet in the air and his raised hand before he even crosses the line... Also, you can see how the US boycott of the 1980 Moscow games affected the composition of the competitors!

The 1988 final was the first thing I remember in my life I can date, after the birth of my brother about a month before!
Is the 2016 race in the room with us?
Where was ‘16?
WWI
Czemu nie ma podanej informacji jaki wynik na 100m uzyskano w poszczególnych latach ?
Except for Percy Williams. That seems like a gross oversight.
There's two editions missing 1936 and 1940
There were no Olympics in 1940 and 1944 due to World War 2.
'36 is on there - Jesse Owens' win.
Antigamente eram 2 corridas, pois só tinham uma câmera. Primeiro filmavam a largada, e depois uma nova pra filmar a chegada.
1:15 Who is Winner(1932) ??
S.Walasiewicz Female
Eddie Tolan (U.S.) in 10.38. Ralph Metcalfe got the same time
@@szymon6207 you've mixed up your races. Stella Walsh (Walasiewicz)had always identified as a woman but proved to be "intersex" as her male organs developed more during puberty )and according to psychiatric reports probably traumatised her. She won the female 100m Gold at LA 1932. She did have the gait of a man though
Please list the winner for each race that you show. In fact, you should put all three medalists' names on the screen after each race.
Sounds like a good project for you
And where's 2016 footage according to video title?
"It's Ben Johnson! Unbelievable".
Yep.
how did the world record go backwards between 1988 and 1992
Ben Johnson was stripped of his medals and WR for doping
9.79 in the 80s is crazy work.
0:58 ここに唯一の日本人で決勝まで行った選手が居るのかな…
de donde sacaste esos videos bro
ayudaaaaaaa
Great video apart from the terrible quality. I understand those pre-Helsinki videos to be of bad quality but even the 2000:s.....
the curse of lane 2... how comes the person who gets injured is always generally lane 2?
The black and white film looks faster.
Especially the silent movies..😃
It's because the frame rate is lower. It's also why people like Bruce Lee look so fast in old movies
@@jazzabighits4473sorry: er war schnell.
where is 2016?
Rio in Brazil 🇧🇷
It wasn't in the video for some reason
The period from 84 to 2004 was drug heaven, I don’t recognise their achievements
From 2004 to now they just learned how to hide it, mask it, or come off it at the right time to avoid detection.
@@thepixalking6589 They caught a lot more people so people like Bolt are either lucky, clean or very sneaky. I say clean cos performances from known cheaters became slower
You dont even matter
Этот период не закончился. Допинг никуда не уходил. Его либо прячут , либо разрешают негласно, избранным спортсменам.

Why not list the first 3 each time?
Bolt was mortal…for 30 meters 😊
(amazing video)
1988: WR 9:83, finishing time 9:79.
1992: WR 9:86.
What happened?
Winstrol and WADA happened
Ben Johnsson got caught for using steroids in 1988.
Interesting choice not to show the name of the winner and the winning time. I gave up after 1948.
1988, 2000, 2004, 2012 the second inside lane pulls up!
Jesse Owens: "Hey Adolf, hold my beer while I take care of some business"
Slow motion was obviously the new cool thing in 1948
1988: Winner runs 9:79
1992: "WR 9:86"
Why?
disqualified due to doping
Jesse Owens with modern shoes on a modern track would have been incredible to watch though.
Yep, and would be using a starting block as well.
@@richatlarge462 Great point!
Bolt era 🥶
1964 was the first time there was an eight lane track.
Bolt! Say no more
Los Angeles stadium 1932 half empty for the blue riband event
Depression ?
@@anthonykennedy5324 That would explain it.
Wish the video SAID who the winner was each year. kinda lame
A little text caption either at the bottom of the picture or between race,with the year,host city and winner,would be good.
how did you manage to make all the footage potato
Don’t forget, video degrades over time, unlike digital recordings, you potato!
Ben Johnson. Pill popper.
Hey where is 2016?
Where's 2016?
So happy for B. Cheret of Kenya 🇰🇪
Wheres 2016 then?
Ben Johnson. The only winner to be caught.
