Michael Johnson became the only man in history to win the 200m and the 400m gold medals at a single Olympics at the Atlanta Games in 1996.
Johnson set Olympic record times in both events (19.32 in the 200m and 43.49 in the 400m) as he took both gold medals.

Michael Johnson, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson lol
yooooo
2012 jimmy lol
MJ is always the goat
Michael Phelps
got to name your son michael
Golden shoe, Unique running style. This guy was the childhood hero for most of 80s kids.
What makes his running style unique? I am honestly only asking because I don't know and not to be snarky.
@@katierowen3166his head back with chest sticking out in front also his arms come up so high
@@survivortheoneincharge7875 Thank you!!
Lies again? 10 Olympic Medals Miami Jurong
Usain Bolt may be the greatest but this performance of Michael Johnson still gives me goosebumps even after 20 years!!!
I agree yes SIRRRRRR🙏
yep we all agree...his performance here takes a seat to no one...what a happening,thanks Mike
20th century tracks wasn't fast as today and shoes are getting better. Have to admit WADA is getting more powerful.
I agree. But Usain Bolt is the GOAT.
SOID! CORRECT! THE! (L-EGEND-ARY)!!! OLY-M-PIAN!!! ATHLETE! MICHAEL!!! JOHNSON!!!
He was a legend. Under 44 seconds 22 times! Simply a fantastic athlete.
SOID! CORRECT! THE! (L-EGEND-ARY)!!! TRACK! ATHLETE! MICHAEL!!! JOHNSON!!!
How many times for James, Meritt, Van Nyeckerk
Just for having a comparaison
Lies again? Fast As Lightning Drugs Guns
@@mrmikespence1964 fast as Bailey in the 150? ummmmmmm
Here after Noah Lyles broke the 200m American record. Amazing that it stood for that long, a true testament to Johnson’s greatness. Imagine what he could have done with modern training
His records might have been beaten but not many athletes have been as dominant as he was at the time
But was the time accurate enough to call it a world record?Hmm
WITHOUT THE NEW SHOES HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEATEN IT
@@christiannesossi5414 bc the drug testing is stricter
@@wilson7357 what
Michael Johnson is still my all-time favorite track star.
+Jack Bauer mine as well.
+Jack Bauer
ME TOO!!
+Jack Bauer
ok, me three
Simon C.
Michael is the best with plenty of class!!
+malbowz 125 Same, he was my favourite first though. So he can't be your favourite anymore because I beat you to favouriting
Ran :19.32 when the WR was :19.66. Unbelievable.
Truly Outstanding! AMAZING!
You best shut up before Donovan hears you!! ;)
now think about what Bolt has done. 19.19. superhuman!
Bolt ain't bad but Johnson is still the man. He smashed the previous record and did it without as many modern benefits as Bolt has.
that's right, the performance-enhancing drugs are much more sophisticated nowadays
I never get tired of watching Johnsons races. He was such a classy & humble athlete. Will always be one of the all time greats for me.
SOID! CORRECT! THE! (L-EGEND-ARY)!!! OLYMPIAN!!! MICHAEL!!! JOHNSONS!!! (OLY-M-PIC)!!! RACES! ARE! (OLY-M-PIC/CLAS-SICS)!!!
indeed one of the greatest
Yup yup yup yup yup
Wasn't he using steroids?
@@raisingbarssince1978 Pretty sure most of them are.
whats` up with MJ`s...???
Michael jackson, Michael Jordan now Michael Johnson
...ALL ARE LEGENDS IN SOMETHING
Tshepo Odumetse don´t forget Magic Johnson.... hehehe!
yeah...fast feet
:)
+Tshepo Odumetse dont forget Michael Gerard "Mike" Tyson
I Michael Phelps
+Tshepo Odumetse magic johnson to :D
He ran so fast that his head couldn't keep up with his body.
hahahahahahahhahaa
rahul raj '
that's good one, lol
He ran so fast he caught up to himself lol
He definitely has a unique running style
Michael Johnson still has the most unique technique while running..body upright, head held back, chest wide front, only his arms and legs moving..and his trademark golden shoes..legend.
His legs run so fast that his head couldn't catch up
He needs to train his head to be faster like infinte speed
This is Pose Method.
SOID! CORRECT! MICHAEL!!! JOHNSON!!! (OY-M-PIC/L-EGEND)!!!
Thanos Sofroniou lol
He was in such a hurry to get to top speed that on his 3rd step he almost missed the track
I don't think enough people are appreciating that usually sprinting world records (with the exception of Flo Jo and this one) are normally marginal improvements less than 0.05 of a second. This guy destroyed the WR a magnitude of 7x that
With steroids?
@@raisingbarssince1978 oh that's what you are doing?
tell us more about that time you broke a WR with roids. we were paying attention to an incredible hardworking athlete, not a keyboard warrior fool
@@jamiedavid8023 calm down and have a red bull.
@@raisingbarssince1978 all of them are on roids
L
@@raisingbarssince1978 No, Johnson is against that. But Florence Griffith-Joyner definitely took growth hormone to achieve a rapid improvement in one year.
His body is literally completely still for the whole race, its insane!
no his legs are moving and his arms
***** what's the matter?
Luke Montgomery the ground moves under him
This is Pose Method.
Perfect Form
I loved the way he stared down the track before the race, like a calculated death stare. He’s my favorite track star!!
me too 🙏🏻🥇
So glad to see dearest Michael commenting once again on our UK screens (European Indoor Athletics) - love him to bits.
Glad to see he has made a speedy recovery from the mini strike. God bless him and his loved ones. A true legend😘
Haters will always hate. Just give them their props. All athletes worked hard to get where they are.
Bobbye Miller Yeah, like Armstrong and Landis you mean?
Lajla Eriksson Doped-up Americans beating all the other doped-up riders, you mean? Yeah, they worked hard; harder than their doped-up competition!
+Bobbye Miller And took many dopes y
alumbo They are all on Dope, including Bolt. This is big business. Take it from an ex sprinter that was told from the getty up, that there is no way that I can take it to the next level without taking the juice like the rest of them. I refused to be a part of that.
I know Michael Johnson break the world record 200m 19.32 but Usain Bolt did better 19.19
Gatlin sprint fast in 100m 9.73
The common wealth Ryan Bailey won silver medal in 2010 which was pretty COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael Johnson was a top great athlete and now wonderful commentator and analyst and whom I always love to watch and listen to. Hope he continues to be always part of BBC panel of commentators and analysts.
I remember his reaction to Bolt beating his 200m record. He was genuinely overjoyed for him. He then said, "The person to beat that record probably hasn't been born yet"!
I am from Mexico city and remember these moments, I remember my childhood. Michael Johnson a LEGEND!!!!
My name is Michael Johnson and I literally ran the 400 because of him in 8th grade I ran it in 1:06 and my coach said I'd never live up to my name and I kept believing and wanting to be as great as he was...by my senior year in high school I had a PR of 46.8 and had won state in the Open 400 twice and won state in the 4x400 three times....he was and is my inspiration, although I never got as fast as him I still tried to live up to his greatness and it brought out the best in me and yeah he's by far my favorite athlete by far, don't give up on your dreams and also strive to be Elite!!!!
Very cool!!!
Amen,
What was your time during your freshman year
Yes.agreat.400 &200.world.record.and.agòod.c0mmentator.as.well
Atassili 29 be careful, someone will soon jump out and correct you saying "in America, we call it PB".
The roar of the crowd during his races was awesome.
Crwod support is really important!
Damn he not only able to run, he got great physique too.
Well, you need great physique to run.
@@kingphil4073 not Coleman. 100m wizard. USA
Roids
@@convex2172 Yup! 💉
Not really, he's just lean like every pro sprinter. If you want to see a sprinter with a great physique, check out Harry Aikines.
Must be an amazing feeling to have your name called out in a packed stadium, and to be able to represent your country and hold up the american flag with a gold medal win.
Pat McNamara I'd be crying like a baby ....
And a world record to your name and title of fastest man in the world
Something insidious about this fawning statement.
Pat McNamara all except the American flag
He isn't American
i remember watcht live this back in day,those golden shoes are just pure magic,johnson one of the greatest
that bloody form!!!!
it was like he was sitting down and running at the same time. his back never bent, it remained straight the whole time lol.
haha, exactly!!
ye, completely left the field, at the olympics!
+Timothy Julien I never forgot that form either and it's been 20 years!
never thought I would see the day when his record got beaten!!!
I remember watching this as a little kid, The Man with the Golden Shoes truly was amazing to watch and something to always remember!
Well Noah just broke his record! Amazing!
He was & still is an absolute class act.
Michael Johnson, always made it look so very, very easy. He was so amazing to watch. He always looked like if he wanted to he could simply run even faster. It was beautiful.
I love watching these "oldies"......brilliant running for those days!
watched it live and it still rings with me today. Awesome moment in Olympic history.
Michael Johnson one of the greatest runners in history. He’s still my favorite.. He runs like a stallion
In my eyes he's always been the #1 Olympian most watchable athlete that shouldn't be forgotten as he had style charisma and one great talented competitor who would have outclassed anyone today if his was at the age he was in 96
New WR 43.03 today, Wayde Van Niekerk
records are things that are always going to be replaced.
What can't be replaced is how you are outside the track.
+Diablos “Zaerchas” Archos what does that have to do with this.
+Tsungai Murahwi
records come and go.
+Diablos “Zaerchas” Archos I mean the "what you are outside the track"
Jogo Lock New OR 400m is 43.03, New WR 40.12.
keeps his form the entire race and he really hits the curve hard. greatness right there.
Michael Johnson is just outstanding, his 400 meter record amazes me. Such a nice bloke too, very genuine.
As a kid I was mesmerized by how fast he was and his golden shoes. What an amazing athlete.
Anyone notice he runs like Forrest Gump?
Michael Jackson e Michael jonson
David H He was using perfect running posture That's how he won so much
Correct !!The best I've ever seen!
Lmao
David H at least he is not running like Rocky... :)
It blows my brains how you can even maintain just over 10s per 100m over 400m.....
I asked the worlds fattest woman to fill that game but there was to much of a gap that was left by him
Well, if you are comparing it to the 100m times, in the 100m you have to accelerate through much of it but in the 400m you run a much higher percentage of the race at full speed.
but maintaining that speed for 400m is pretty much impossible, nobody does a 100% sprint for the 400m
Teddy brimblecombe nobody runs a 100m at full speed believe it or not. Even bolt decellerates the last 20m.
MattMzansi Shelly Ann Fraser price ran 10.75 in the Olympic 100m 10.75+10.75+10.75+10.75=43 flat that’s what Wayde Van Niekerk ran the 400m World Record😳
The man's 400m record still stands...20 years later. Consider how much training methods (technology) have improved in the last 20 years. He was ahead of his time 20 years and counting.
Like Flo Jo.
juiced to the gills comeon. then again who wasnt. carl lewis shhhh.
south africa just broke it with 43.08
Not any more
43.03
Imo, there is zero doubt that MJ is still the greatest 200/400 runner of all time... his performance at Atlanta '96 cemented his legacy.
Best finisher I've ever seen in the 200m and 400m. I just remember before he ran the 200m Final, I was jumping outta my chair in my room by myself yelling at the tv like I was in the stadium as a teenager😃 That was a HUGE moment in time when smashed his own 200m record. Great memories.
Such an epic moment in history. This man blessed us with these performances 🙌
I remember this. Still love it ❤
Just remember him with his gold necklace, what an amazing runner he was!!!
And, of course, those golden running shoes!
Love his running style, it’s like an engine on legs.
Yeah. I think I heard him describe it as like a sewing machine in an interview once.
I run like that although I'm nowhere near as fast.
Gotta name my kid micheal, like the name is associated with greatness in almost any field.
Form nd Style in another level.
Salute!
When did Eddie Murphy start doing athletics?

JB Johnson and its football not soccer mate
I´ve heard that he had recently suffered a big stroke, despite never having smoked a cigaret, and keeping a healthy and sportive lifestyle after his career. Get well soon and speedy recovery.
MJ introduced me to track and field, since then I’m in love with it 🙌🙌🙌🙌
That gold chain probably added 10th of a second. What a great athlete ❤

One of his records still stands in 2019
Like others, I’m here after Lyles run. As I was watching MJ run though I couldn’t help but notice all the camera flashes throughout the stadium, and realized that magical era, like many others, has pretty much come and gone.
Greatness whenever I feel discouraged I always come back to this video . amazing
I still get that same feeling of excitement when I watch his clips all these years later.
Michael Johnson's double was an incredible achievement, but it must be remembered that Marie-José Pérec, the French sprinter won the same double at the same Atlanta games before Johnson.
unorthodox and beautiful
Incredible... still makes me smile watching it now. The greatest.
There was just something different about the 90s Era athletes.. they held themselves well and inspired alot of people.
I want a pair of those golden shoes :D
LightAfterNight89105 me too.
CaptainPullNoHoes come on. You have just killed all the fun here. Why do you have to be so philosophical about things.
This is my favorite video on RUclips :) Brings a smile to my face every time I watch it. I am a high school Junior and I am a sprinter/mid distance runner just like M. Johnson. He is my inspiration and role model, and it has gotten me very far in the sport. Planning on being in Rio 2016 Olympics!
Still come back to these moments time and time again. Such a class act.
Absolutely astounding pure athlete and the epitome of will, dive, and determination
Bless you Mike and being an inspiration to me in my track career.
This dude was truly the best sprinter who ever lived
Johnathan Johnson in the USA?
+Johnathan Johnson uh no. no he wasn't.
+Chrisman77 he's the best 400m runner
+Chrisman77 Who is better
lol, he get raped in 100M. "Greatest sprinter" don't make me laugh.
Actually he broke 200m World Record and 400m Olympian Record! 400m WR he broke in 1999.
SOID! THE! (L-EGEND-ARY)!!! OLY-M-PIAN!!! MICHAEL!!! JOHNSON!!!
Happy Birthday to Michael.9-13-67.TX.Thanks for the Memories at the '96 Olympics.
Totally and completely amazing! Thank you for sharing!!!
Michael Johnson is the Greatest
Don’t care what no one says.
Dominance, Quickness, Grace, Swag, Class, Power, Endurance.
Drugs..
Usain Bolt.

HIS RUN STRIDE AND TECHNIQUE IS PERFECT. .THE G.O.A.T.
Milo Tucker except it’s not, at least not traditionally. It’s a very upright form that you would never teach. But it worked for Michael. I guess you could say it was perfect for him.
@@clarkerson that's exactly what you can say. Apparently form is not the same for everyone.
Milo Tucker Bolt is the GOAT
Michael Johnson is one of the best ever tho!!
That 200 will always be my favourite race of all time....killed it with pure class
He was my all time favorite athlete with the golden shoes with wings! I just looked up to him when I was a kid and he was just awesome!
The Man with the Golden Shoes
I've always loved the sprints and the greats including Michael Johnson and after reading his book " Slaying The Dragon " it took my respect to a whole new level of what it takes to achieve your dreams ... Never seen such a precise blueprint to greatness
Thank you Michael for sharing this special moment in history☺
Even from the UK I used to love watching him as a kid. It was always special.
Most deff here after noah lyles got his record by .01😭
Fr
Michael Johnson is the Brock lesnar of athletics. Even though I'm Jamaican and a huge fan of Usain Bolt, this video shows how great Michael Johnson was.
Me too
Beautifully unorthodox and yet his form seems like a no-brainer. Absolute efficiency.
One of my fav runners in the 200m and 400m.
This man is really running with a chain on and gold shoes. Impressive
SOID! CORRECT! THIS! IS! THE! (L-EGEND-ARY)!!! OLY-M-PIAN!!! MICHAEL!!! JOHNSON!!!
mrmikespence1964 r/ihadastroke
would die to see Johnson and Bolt in a 200m.
Kara McConniel bolt would win 200 in a 400 johnson would catch up to bolt. johnson gains more stamina/power down wind for about 2 minutes very strong.
With current sports science and technique for both in their prime it would be an amazing race for the ages.
Bolt would have left him for dead.
I watched it live on TV when I was 9 years old and my dad told me that we had witnessed history. A night to remember. And I remember all of this to this very day as if it was only yesterday.
Still my favourite 400m runner. Amazing that Bolt and WVN have broken these times since but neither have matched the fluid running style of MJ.
Man those iconic gold shoes! I think to me it's more impressive than Usain's because when this happened, I was a little 4 year old, who didn't know anyone could ever run that fast! With Usain, it's impressive, but being much older now, you know it's possible! Great to see Johnson giving Usain props though!
Usain is also not as impressive because Bolt is so tall. Just like watching a dunk contest, a tall guys dunks dont look as good as the smaller mans.
actually, the fact that he is tall makes it far more impressive! Tall people usually are not that fast as sprinters
+Vinny L exactly
The only reason it isn't as impressive as Michael Johnson breaking the 200 meter record to me is that I was 4 years old when Johnson broke the record. To me, he was like God haha
Johnson was doping doe .-.
Read his book " Slaying the Dragon " and this man truly is a Champion
The most beautiful posture of any runner. Perfectly upright.
Michael Johnson is a living legend, a kind and humble man, respect him a lot
Wish the bests come to him
The greatest runner of all time. This is undisputed.
Usain Bolt is better m9.
+Luke Montgomery he's better at juicing.
+TraumaER u would know about juicing. But johnson looks more like the one juicing
+iGoHAM Michael Johnson never juiced.
+Ismael Camville I just know.
Wayde van Niekerk now have the 400m record 43.03.
so happy to see how fast a man can really run. its so carefree feeling to watch, im so jealous that i can’t run like that because of my heart disease.
I used to run for my local athletes club participating in cross country and became 1st in my town and 11th in my county which is why I've so much admiration for this guy because I know the measures towards his dedication to competing with all those hours days weeks months and years he's put into becoming the all time number one we're probably never going to see ever again
Someone here after Noah lyles broke his record ?
for me the greatest ever !
izidor Bolt is the GOAT
simply fkn wow.....WOW.what a legend...love this man so much...pure class man
Michael Johnson will always be my inspiration
Michael Johnson the greatest 200/400m sprinter ever! With his unique style of running, this olympic champion was untouchable...He inspired me! Mr Qammar Malik AKA Mr Funky (fitness trainer) GOOGLE.
I am jamaican and I want to say that Usain Bolt, who is also jamaican can be the bets sprinter alive too, many us and jamaicans are good at sprinting
Romain Ebanks...Thank you for your comment! Michael Johnson dominated in his era...I admired his running style! Yes, I totally agree the jamaicans dominate sprinting now, both male & female...Usain Bolt is the best for his era!
Just imagine slashing 0.34 seconds off the World Record when even the most elite of the elite sprinters could rarely go below 19.70 seconds in the 200 meters. Just mind blowing.
It looks like he's FLOATING, so comfortable, so relaxed, not tense! PERFECT FORM!
2021 and we still here
