I feel like Usain Bolt is not getting as much recognition as other world class athleets in other sports. Athleets like Federer, Messi, Ronaldo, Hamilton, Jordan etc... He should be definitely up there with those guys if not even higher as he is clearly the BEST in 100/200m.
Football and basketball have a wider audience. The NBA holds a national championship every year, and basketball is played most months of the year. The same goes for football. Track and field, on the other hand, has a shorter season and major events like the World Championships occur every two years, while the Olympics are held every four years.
You have a point but he is the most popular track & feild athlete. He is the reason alot of people start watching in the first place
I guess it depends on what kind of sports you like and you take your best ever from that. Football, Tennis and Track & Field are mine. Usain Bolt is No1 for me, it was absolutely amazing to watch his journey from his junior days to multiple golds and world records as a senior. Lyles can talk all he wants and star in his own show but he needs those double golds and world records to be considered anywhere near where Usain is. Until then he is just another pretender with an extremely big mouth!
@@StephenJohnsonbut everyone knows bolt , fastest man ever - Usain bolt
Oh no don't be mistaken. In other parts of the World Usain Bolt is still very very big. In places like America in recent years I have noticed them trying to downplay his achievements. However the man's legacy is just too big to be buried. Too much personality, charisma and physical capabilities of course. It's going to take sometime to see the likes of Bolt on the track again.🤩🤩🤩
So weird how Usain is actuallly extremely underrated somehow. He is arguably the greatest athlete ever!!
Who said he's under rated?
It is because of his football career
I think it's because he has no impact of the field,,,look at ali,pele,and those guys...of the field or ring they had a great impact
The greatest of all time. Shocked to see him on OBI. Never expected that.
Bolt made it look easy and not only that, he did it with a smile. Support for him dd not just come from Jamaicans, the whole world wanted him to win. Bolt is humble wit it.
If Usain is talking I am listening 🙌🏽💫💥
You know what I mean 😊
I'm from South Africa...when Usain ran ...I felt he was running for the whole world 🌎...When he won we all celebrated.His personality was as good as he is an athletes (Muhammad Ali )Loveable guy!
Bolt saying he missed two months of training in '09 is fucking terrifying. I thought "His memory is probably a but wonky since it's been 15 years since".
Then he makes the comparison of the Beijing and Berlin relay legs and you know he's telling the truth. Man if Bolt didn't get injured in 2009, no one and I mean NO ONE would even be considering challenging Bolt's WR
He was in a car crash as well and said he was 85% ready when we interview him in Jamaica😂😂😂😂. Bolt was our gift to us Jamaicans for all the drugged up usa athletes we had to ran against and felt robbed!
omgghh damnnnn 😭 i can feel it that he could run better time but i dont know the story behind this thanks for sharing man @@trudykroll7429
O9 he set the record 9.58 ,he was injured after the wc?
@@jazzymars30 He was injured before. Just google Usain Bolt crash in his E92 M3. It happened early 2009
@@jazzymars30He was injured between 08 Olympics and 09 world champs. He rolled his GTR
Usain Bolt is an icon a true legend of sport not just track n field
Usain Bolt is so humble throughout his time in track and field.. a true legend ❤
The greatest to ever put foot on a race track, the legendary Usain Bolt 🤴🏾👑🐐🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏🏾
My dam legend!!!! Love him to pieces. He made me as Jamaican so proud! #876 #Jamaicanlandwelove 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇮🇳
Such a legend....Bless up Usian, Jamaica's pride and joy!
31:00 based on the 10m splits from that race in Beijing, it is reasonable to estimate that his time would have been 9.62 at best. Now he did have a more favorable wind in Berlin, so the two runs are actually almost equivalent in their quality.
What a way to kickstart the new season with blistering pace, with the lighting bolt.👍🏾
He always refers to his coach, even with that talent, he was humble enough to listen and work harder.
I can’t stop listening to this man ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 . THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
The dedication and effort behind those 9 seconds is mind-blowing! It’s amazing what it takes to achieve greatness!
31:00thank you for asking him this.. look at that whole beijing olympics. the most effortless elegant sprinting you will ever see. JOGGED 9.85 in the semi final
I disagree with the idea that he would have beaten 9.58 in 2008 though. Even with the showboating, I don't think he lost 0.11 seconds worth of speed.
Running full speed in the 200m for 19.30 (compared to being in 19.19 form, despite feeling tired in 2009) also kinda supports this idea.
The closest anyone has been to 9.58 (other than Bolt's own 9.63 in 2012) is 9.69, which we saw 3 times in history (Bolt, Gay, Blake).
you guys were right. when you're in the same room with the guest, the energy is different
In the conversion with the greatest and most legendary names in sports. The difference is other legends status can be debated. Bolt is undisputed King of Sprinting
Legendary 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 one Usain Bolt 9.58 king 🤴
Excellent interview Usain🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the true phenoms. Can count them on one hand in my lifetime

Bolt is the greatest athlete of all time name one person in the history of track and field to dominate two events for three olympics.. also bolts era of sprinting is the best era period look at the talent that was there Bolt Powell Gatlin Gay Blake we are truly blessed our sporting era has produced so many legends in our time I don’t think we will see the 100 broken for along time maybe not even in our time..
John obi the legend 💙
Had the privilege of celebrating two birthdays at his Constant Spring Tracks and Records restaurant in Kingston,Jamaica. Usain,if you reading this, give Simone a raise. She's a much needed entity to your franchise!
10:14 is when it actually starts
Great to see another legend of sport, thanks obi and bolt the fastest man of his generation of athletes..
Inspirational 🔥

A proud Jamaican 🇯🇲here big up King
1 lightening bolt 🇯🇲
lightning bolt my icon❤
He’s the GOAT 🐐
Great interview with the Legend Usain Bolt gentlemen
Bring on Essien
Love Usian Love Gatlin ❤❤❤
Usains humility yet confidence is something some Ark could learn. I can be confident while being honest and respecting your opponents. Some fake “fastest man in the world” running around acting like Usain doesn’t exist.
Mad how much of a superstar he is when racing is like 9-20 seconds - compared to football 90 mins twice a week
The greatest sprinter of all time, the great Usain Bolt 🎉🎉
Lovely pod guys, another one
Love from Yaad 🇯🇲
best pod
Enjoyed this guys!!!
One Bolt! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Amazing interview
Legend
Great interview!!!
anything i see if bolt gets clicked
An amazing podcast this is...sentiments aside!
11:17 He must be a lecturer 😂
The one of the best runners in the world 🙇🙇
Wow mikel props to you, you got the big man
Goat what a awesome king that is!!
great podcast
Bolt seh 50 metres & Powell was nowhere to be found then 65 m him turn around and still cant see him...Well Powell throwed shots at him on Gatlin podacst so the undisputed King of Sprints had to respond and respond he did 😂. Bolt seh big up Gatlin for keeping him on his toes because he would always show up...one thing about Gatlin was that his mental toughness was next level.
What did powell say?
@@pitounefer772 He made it look like Bolt just didn't step up to the plate in his early years after he won and broke a record at that at World Juniors whilst conveniently neglecting to mention that Bolt was injured during this period. He also referred to Bolt as a baby and tried to flex on him in other ways. I have always said that he is insecure about having being overshadowed by Bolt but tries to play it off like there is no jealousy because he is just happy for him...Those kind of ppl are the worst kind because they do everything in their power to hide their true feelings and intentions.
@Yiealo6372jd Nope it was definitely a dig...Of course he wouldn't say it in a way that would make it come across as overtly spiteful hence the joking style in which he told the story...But Bolt was definitely doing something there and it was deserved based on how Powell was trying to show & size him up on Gatlin's podcast, etc.
@Yiealo6372jd Bolt was def taking a dig there and it was deserved...I would have done worse because Powell was trying to style him on Gatlin's podcast despite the fact that him couldn't even see Bolt spike back good during a race when they were both in their primes.
Powell is very insecure and soft that's why he always chokes on the big stage but has never once admitted that he let his nerves and pressure get the better of him he always has a excuse even on gatlin podcast he says injury is why he did so poorly in championships I could bet gatlin is laughing at him in his head Powell and Gatlin wasn't a rivalry..powell has never beaten gatlin since July 2004. After 2004 Olympics when gatlin became a 9.8 sprinter Powell never beat him since@@amandaquest105
Bolt is the greatest and i don't think the 100m will ever be broken in our lifetime
Legendary
Bolt 👍👍💪💪💯🔥🏃♂️🥇🏆
Usain had a 9.07 100 meter race in him.
Big boss 🇯🇲
Legend 👏🏻👏🏻😊
OK. This is how Obi is moving. Wow 😮
Chris asks brilliant questions. Well Done!
You know what i mean x10000000times !! 😂😂😂
Great pod
Best Bolt interview 🔥
Legend!
WE NEED THE DROGBA INTERVIEW
Bolttttt 🔥🔥 Super Legend, The 🐐❤❤❤❤❤
The fastest man in the world is not even claiming the title unless someone says it to him. He's not even defending himself against Noah and the ark.
That's humbling.
That was Mike Phelan , EX Manutd Defender and Asst Coach
Come out of retirement 🙏
Looking at the shape he is right now, and if he trains seriously for 3 weeks he probably just run 10 - 9.95s
I believe Bolt have a 9.80s in him only if he train for 7 to 8 weeks or more tho,
Curious to know what Bolt can run at this age.
The inspiration GOAT.
39:00 i used to copy this.. usain brought his hands in from 2011/12. the wide arm stance was used during all his world records however which is ironic
100%
kishane is doing good
Bolt “you know what I mean” 😂😂😂
How has Rogan not interviewed this dude
As Neville would classify Sir Usain as "WORLD BEST"❤
