Tbh I see it as a waste of energy, but each to their own. Humans possess such a great body and brain they are much more suited for tasks that require agility and academics. Over practicing our bodies to make them do something which they were not made for is just a waste in my eyes as with same efforts on fields for which our body was designed would give us much higher jump. We remember the many top academics from hundreds of centuries ago but barely any athletes. Anyway, that's my take on it, anyone is free to do whatever they like lol.
@@airearheir Yes, and Jacobs' performance is the 5th of all times at the Olimpic game. It means that the final in 2012 was legendary, Blake Gatling and Bolt weren't humans

It's the camera angle that makes it seem like he's behind. Look at the different camera angles at 12:33. You can see that even from the beginning he was never trailing. He is actually ahead very shortly into the race. It is somewhat of a myth that bolt has bad starts. His starts are very comparable to the other top sprinters. For his world record time of 9.58 he had an amazing start and was leading the field by 10 meters. Go watch the 2009 100 m finals and go to the part where they show the bird's eye view.
In my opinion, this race was Bolt’s most important to solidify him as one of the greatest athletes of all time. This lineup was incredible, he was challenged all year and he still gave his BEST performance at the biggest stage with world class charisma. LEGEND!!
This was the greatest race of ALL time - I was just 18 and still remember watching it live on BBC. The 100m finals this year won't be the same though...
Yeah it really was. Gatlin was his rival, or closest thing to it when it came to these 100m races. Now we know that Bolt finished 3rd in the 2016 Olympics, but that was when he had past his prime and wasn’t how he used to be. So this race was the race that solidified Bolt as the greatest 100m racer of all time! The goat haha
@@rlmiuploadhighqualityvideo5185 He always does that when he is losing outside the top 3. That is why he has never won a world champion gold or Olympics medal.

Well yeah true, I'm Chinese and English, so I always will support representatives from Britain and China, even in men's athletics, but almost everyone loves Usain Bolt enough that they want him to win.
Its insane how a guy can just accelerate past 3 of the other fastest men in history like they were running in slow motion. We will never see a guy like bolt never.
Yup his 100m record may never be broken But his 200m may be broken. Blake had come very very close to breaking it. He ran 19.26s v/s 19.19s with one of the worst starts.
The difference between 1st place and last place (not considering time of injured Powell) was 0.35 secs and the difference between 3rd and last place was 0.19 secs. This has got to be greatest 100 meters line up in history
Once he hits that top speed it’s game over for everyone else. With the 200m being his favourite event, the 100m is relatively easy for him lol because he can hold that max speed for a longer period compared to other sprinters.
We speak about his world record .58, but no one might even come close to his Olympic record .63. Lmao other great runners personal best times don’t even make in Usain’s personal 5

Who dislikes this?? Really... you are watching the best runner alive break record after record coming from a 3rd world country. That is what makes the Olympics so special. Talent is everywhere, Go Bolt and Blake!
You gotta understand how incredible Bolt is. Imagine he is already behind from the start against the fastest runners that's ever lived and he has less than 10 seconds to overtake them. When you look at it like that you understand how great he is
We think he's slower because we are comparing him to much shorter sprinters who of course will start faster, that's just physics. I think the only way to actually compare his start is with someone like Ryan Bailey and Francis Obikwelu. They're still shorter than Bolt but are the tallest elite athletes we can use to measure objectively.
The greatest 100m final of all-time. The individual introductions, the crowd, the narratives, and the fact that this was the fastest group of ever. Legendary.
So rare to see a genuine, genuine superstar, both in terms of charisma and showmanship, and most importantly, in terms of the ridiculously legendary, once-in-a-lifetime athletic ability. For all the shame so many disgraced athletes have brought to this sport, Bolt will forever go down as one of the greatest ambassadors of athletics, and the Games themselves. Privileged to have witnessed his career.
The London Olympics were the best ever. So well planned and executed. With class and no slight at all. Can't say the same about Paris. Definitely not as classy or at all in touch. Definitely back in the dark ages......London was so very forward and smart.
Imagine a person sneezing twice in the audience, consecutively, when the race starts and by the time they open their eyes, Usain Bolt is already on his way home
For perspective, Noah Lyles would have placed 5th in these finals after his recent victory in 100m. I don’t want to hear about Bolt’s record being in jeopardy ever again.
Hold up. Looking back at this race now. Did you know, every single men’s in this race before, maybe run under 9.80 or better. Well my points is, this lineup was the most powerful lineup in the men’s 100 meters history, no other other 100 meter back in the old days should come close to this one.

The fact that this race happened 9 years ago and the comment section is still very active is a testament to the fact that this race is absolutely legendary.
What a line up! These were the best sprinters for a decade. It truly was an all star group of World & Olympic Champs. Not sure we will ever see such a talented line up of sprinters in an Olympics like this.
This is the definition of once in a lifetime race. Its probability gonna take another 100 years for a race like this to happen. I feel lucky that i watched it on live tv. 🔥 🥰

I love it when, after the race, as Bolt is slowly jogging/dancing around the arena and interacting with the crowd, and everyone is celebrating what he's just achieved, the commentator says 'These are moments to be treasured'. Such sweet words.
It seems that Bolt won 3 golds just yesterday. It is so vividly fresh and will remain etched in memory forever. He is one of those few for whom one can wake up anytime to watch him live. He was simply the best
5 legends 5 under 9.89 3 under 9.79 1 under 9.69 And bronze medal in def 0.01 3 Jamaican vs 3 American What a race can't happen in near future it's one of century!
Truly was a pleasure being able to turn on the Olympics and being able to see Bolt sprinting, Phelps swimming, lebron and Kobe hooping. This was my favorite Olympics ever
5:04 It's amazing how one idiot throwing a bottle at the athletes (when he says set) almost ruined the most legendary 100m Olympic race in history! I'm so glad they didn't stop the race and have them restart.
Bolt Intro at 3:10 Race starts at 4:40 They run at 5:07 Usain crosses everyone at 5:13 Bolt wins at 5:36 Well, I already knew He was obviously gonna win, just to save your time and only see him run and win. By the way, look at the difference of the time stamps between they start to run and Bolt crossing everyone.
The fact that there are still people watching this nearly a decade after the race happened just goes to show how legendary this race is.
Absolutely man

Whoever named him Bolt is a Genius
yeah whoever named him would be worthy to be his parents if they cam sup with it themselves
It's his last name so it's not given to him.
Bolt is his last name…his entire family name is bolt
Why do we have last names? Why can’t we just stick to first names? How are last names created? How DO we receive our last names anyway? Did Adam and Eve have last names? Aren’t we all technically biologically related? How did we evolve? What is life now?

The person who arranged these participants deserve gold medal jamaica , usa , jamaica , usa , Best event , best commentary , best participants , best result ever in olympic
The fact that this race happened 9 years ago and the comment section is still very active is a testament to the fact that this race is absolutely legendary.
Then 9.80s and Tyson was 4. And now today Marcell Jacobs from Italy wins Men's 100m Gold with 9.80s timing.
Competition back then was tough...
Yeah thats insane
Bad timing
9.58 is the record
eh che vuoi cosa caz ci vuoi dire??
What a line up! These were the best sprinters for a decade. It truly was an all star group of World & Olympic Champs. Not sure we will ever see such a talented line up of sprinters in an Olympics like this.
Not just a decade. The 5 fastest men in history were in that race
Who's watching this race with me in 2024?
Me
I am
Eu tmb
Bolt = 🐐
👆
9 years ago and this STILL give me goosebumps till this day!!!!!!!! 😩 FOREVER PROUD TO BE A JAMAICAN 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
You guys are crazy ❤️
Crazy to think that this years 100m final medalists wouldn't have even made it on the podium in this race. What a final this was.
Just imagine if Bolt had gotten off to a lightning-fast start, too.
@@TonyEnglandUK he probably wouldn't have got that "adrenaline rush" that gets them to perform beyond their normal
If he was so fast, how come the cameraman overtakes him at 5:29
@@TonyEnglandUKbecause cameramen are immortal
This is the definition of once in a lifetime race. Its probability gonna take another 100 years for a race like this to happen. I feel lucky that i watched it on live tv. 🔥 🥰
Me too! It was crazy in Jamaica during this Olympics. Like ppl in the streets, celebration everywhere! Even at work, there were shenanigans!
Usain Bolt fixed the level so high for the coming 100 and 200m racers
This is the greatest lineup in Olympic history. 6 of the fastest men of all time, happy to have witnessed this event
Blake/Gatlin: Can I win the race?
Bolt: Yes, upto 60m
It's the camera angle that makes it seem like he's behind. Look at the different camera angles at 12:33. You can see that even from the beginning he was never trailing. He is actually ahead very shortly into the race.
Awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Christopher A lol
@@ak2pacalypse Gatlin has a really good start but the long strides by Bolt😢
Greatest 100m race of all time. ALL the big guys were in there. Incredible.
Even 16 years later, Bolt still the GOAT
Absolutely 🎉
What's bolt doing when he late for bus? He waits on next station!
Run to di next station
Lol
If spider man can catch the bus bolt would beat the bus there
Usain Bolt doesn’t wait for the bus. The bus waits for Usain Bolt.
He simply will takes out his ferrari
5:43
Bolt bends down, the camera men also go down...
This had me crackin....

Lol very true 😁

It’s very weird to watch Tokyo Olympics 2020 without any spectators
It's all because of that bat soup smh
Ngl prefer it, can hear the athletes
@@Vincent-ws5dg 😷
Very unlucky especially locals
Watching this again in 2023, the greatest lineup ever in history so far
I love it when, after the race, as Bolt is slowly jogging/dancing around the arena and interacting with the crowd, and everyone is celebrating what he's just achieved, the commentator says 'These are moments to be treasured'. Such sweet words.
When you turn off the light downstairs and your last awake
lol relatable
Or when you've left something at home
Hahahahaha so true 8D
omg lol so true
damn if only i could like comments on mobile. its ok i will give you 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

London 2012 will forever be the best games ever hosted I’ll always cherish it
It seems that Bolt won 3 golds just yesterday. It is so vividly fresh and will remain etched in memory forever. He is one of those few for whom one can wake up anytime to watch him live. He was simply the best
Agreed 💯
Greatest olympics ever, 2012. I remember it so vividly too.
This is arguably the Greatest Lineup In HISTORY
42 million views and counting Usain Bolt still captures the attention of the world even in retirement.A phenomenal athlete .
Usain Bolt undoubtedly the greatest male sprinter of all time!!!!!
'male'? stfu
the greatest of all time, period
Who else has watched this at least 50 times over the past 8 years?
Gives me chills every time
More that 50.
Bolt, and Muhammad Ali. I've rewatched their epic videos more times than I can remember.
MORE THAN 50 TIMES😂..THOUGH I'M NOT A TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETE, BUT EVERYTIME I DO MY CARDIO WHICH ARE HILL SPRINTS I ALWAYS WATCH IT FOR MOTIVATION 💯🔥

@@itzyagorl3450 you're incredibly smart
Truly was a pleasure being able to turn on the Olympics and being able to see Bolt sprinting, Phelps swimming, lebron and Kobe hooping. This was my favorite Olympics ever
The best summer olympics ever. I’m from London and even the city during those 2 weeks felt different. Everyone was on a high.
Bro, that silence before the “set” is so peaceful 😊
Except for the beer bottle being thrown onto the track
We wont see a sprint lineup like that again for a LONG time!
Who's here after the 2024 Paris Olympics race?
Goated Bolted, this era was different...
I am here before, during and after Paris. This is winning not that one of the L boy through VAR. Apparently he won with a shoulder 😅😊
After the Paris 2024 100m finals...I found myself here again to witness a lineup of greatness 😮
Usain Bolt legend 🔥🔥👏👏100 metre ,200 metre🔥🔥
I am😂
That race was the best race in the history. WOW. ALL THESE SUPER STARS!!!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate probably the best 100m race ever ! What a gorgeous line up it was tho
Those were literally the fastest men ever all racing at once
My heart still races watching this like it did in 2012. The Olympics won't be the same without Usain Bolt.
yep
London 2012 Olympics was the best of all time.
Hi bro you from New York
No bejin 2008 better
This is gotta be the best line up in 100 m history
So true
clint fatu Lauoletolo
Without question.
This race carry the five fastest men in history wow
Agreed
if asafa powell didnt get injured, he would've probably been in the front with the other 4 guys.
Losing to Blake at the 2012 Jamaican trials was actually the best thing for him..it pushed him to the limit to work even hard and be the 🐐
@Billy Blastoff He gets tested what do you mean?
@Billy Blastoff he only lost cause he had back injury from a car accident lol Blake defeated a handicapped bolt
Anyone else is watching this historical run during the tokyo olympics.
Usain bolt 😍😍
We will miss you in tokyo tracks 💔💔
I'm Italian i'd love to see Jacobs against the greatest

I am just a beginner in english. Is that wrong. What is the correct word 🤗🤗
5:04 It's amazing how one idiot throwing a bottle at the athletes (when he says set) almost ruined the most legendary 100m Olympic race in history! I'm so glad they didn't stop the race and have them restart.
The fact that he won againts an super insane line up like That makes it even better.
Absolutely! No-one will ever question his win against a questionable field. Even a century or two from now.
Best 100m final of all time cos the line up was so stacked, it really was the best vs the best
5 fastest men of all time.. this must be the greatest 100m of all time.. and Bolt nailed it..
Bolt Intro at 3:10
Race starts at 4:40
They run at 5:07
Usain crosses everyone at 5:13
Bolt wins at 5:36
Well, I already knew He was obviously gonna win, just to save your time and only see him run and win.
By the way, look at the difference of the time stamps between they start to run and Bolt crossing everyone.
thank youuu
Thanks
Was the 6 second gap necessary?
Thank you
Ek number Mohammad bhai
With that time Gatlin could have been gold in 2024

For me this is without a doubt the greatest sport moment of all time. i've watched this at least 100 times
9.75 is silver? lol. I think this is the fastest 100m competition ever in history
Forget about silver, 9.80 and you got NO MEDAL.
Fresh Prince Who cares? Usain Bolt is still the fastest man in the world lol
(Sorry about the who cares)
I believe it is
@mujitsu mara where the prove

Just watching this back for the 100th time and it still give me chills, the greatest 100m line in history… bolt transcended the sport. Absolute legend
I was 11 back then. I’m 20 now and I’m still in awe
Usain bolt here made everyone forget how hard blake, gatlin and tyson fought for 2nd place...
Still can’t get over the fastest man in history’s last name is Bolt ⚡️..Perfect 👌
was an honour to watch bolt in his prime in these days, literally watching an unbeatable legend of the sport
This race changed the athletic history. Hats off to RUclips for showing it.👍
