When Bolt ran the 9.58, i remember asking myself if the person that is going to break that record has even been born yet. The fact that I sit here today and ask myself the same question all these years later is crazy.
I dont know that we will ever see an athlete break the 100m record without a major change to the track surface, shoes, and clothing. When multiple athletes start going sub-9.7, I'll start believing it can be done.
I do not think the record will be broken in my lifetime. No other athlete has even beat Bolts third fastest time. It will take another once in a lifetime athlete to even come close to his level of speed, grace, and power.
@@praiseedugafinally someone says this. The guy was JOGGING 9.85 in semis. That would be dam gold metal runner today. These guys are struggling to break 10 seconds going all out

In the interview where Powell was asked about Bolt's records, he said that, "we [the Jamaican sprinters] spoiled the world." I couldn't agree more. If we look at the times before the Jamaican legends, even if you count in Asafa's world records, which went down to 9.72, the world record competition would still be somewhat close, and I could see the 100m records dropping bit by bit as it did previously. Of course, this isn't 'boring' or anything, but having Bolt and also Yohan Blake suddenly come along to destroy the records was just crazy and amazing to watch. They brang along massive excitement and anticipation to track and field. We've truly been spoiled.
I've seen plenty comments which state (paraphrasing), "We were spoilt in the Bolt era because he made everyone believe and want to run much faster." 9.8s and 9.7s were becoming sich a staple, we forgot how phenomenal what standard of sprinting truly represented. Asapha may have never won the gold at major championships but his records are nothing to scoff at. In this generation, he'd be unbeatable. So we are strapped-in for a ling with this 100m record.

While only recently has Bolt’s 9.58 been the longest 100m record, Bolt himself has held the record longer than anybody else for some time now, as he broke the record in 2007.
Her record has a major asterisk with the wind meter not working. Every other race that day had 3+ wind but her race somehow had a 0. Pretty obvious there was a malfuntion and that record shouldnt stand
@@abone2pick I dont remember questioning her greatness, just how valid that 100m race was. But how kimf86 pointed out she was most likely doping at the time of her records. But who knows maybe bolt was also. I feel most high level athletes have used steroids at one point of their career.
@@mistro-ks5xmaccusing someone of doping is textbook definition of questioning their greatness specially when u admit the competition was doing it too… bolt went from 10.05 to joggin 9.69 in a year bro what u mean “who knows”😹
Bolts record will be eventually broken. Reminds me of when I heard of Roger Bannister breaking into a 3 minute mile. Until he did it, no person on earth thought it was possible. Now theres plentitude of athletes that have done it. There's eventually always going to be someone stronger and faster at some point on the history timelines
No way, 9.58 is unassailable this decade at least, none of the current crop can touch it. Blake, Gay, Gatlin and Powell were all generational talents, all faster than everyone running today, and they couldn't come close - clearly it takes more than a generational talent to run 9.5, so Bolt's record may last many decades. Many people say that Bolt rewrote the formula for superelite sprinting because him aside, you can be 5'9 like Blake and run 9.69, but it's hard to see how someone can reach his top speed without being similarly tall to Bolt because nobody else in history has ever produced the same stride frequency + stride length as him. Nobody else has ever covered 10m in 0.81 like him - the next best is 0.83. Asafa ran that and he's 6'3, and many say his record runs had perfect form. Comparing 9.58 to 9.69 are two different stories. 7 sprinters who would have run 9.69 - 9.71 with the maximum legal wind - Greene, Gatlin, Coleman, Kerley, Bromell, Omanyala and Jacobs. Even Lyles's 9.83 last year in still wind would be 9.73 with a +2.0m/s, and Lyles hasn't focused on the 100 for long. Greene's 9.82 in Edmonton all the way back in 2001 would have been 9.71 with max wind - and that's even with him limping the last 20m, where his final 10m was 0.90 - the same split as Bolt's showboating 9.69 in Beijing, and Powell jogging 9.74 in Rieti. We should get a 9.7 guy every generation from this point forward because that's what we've already had (half a dozen of them in this generation), plus junior records are being broken by Erriyon Knighton and Christian Miller, and with advancements to spikes etc. it's what you'd expect. 9.69 is reachable soon. Any 9.58 isn't guaranteed at all, not to be expected in every generation and I don't think will fall for many decades - but if it does, it will come from someone born after I'd say 2004 as I'd expect they'd be someone yet to emerge at the elite level - kind of like how Asafa and Donovan Bailey didn't become world-class until 21+.
although it was rough, I made a trend line of 100m world records after Jim Hines excluding Bolt's time. It predicted that someone should only have set a time that fast in 2080!!! just goes to show how fast he was.
I don't understand how you made that line. Without Bolt the record would've dropped from 9.95 to 9.69 in 40 years (0.26s improvement). How would it take 70 years for the last 0.11s?
@@thijsbeentjes4008he may have only considered records before Bolt. Also the trend line isn't going to be linear as that would assume we'd eventually have a record of 0 seconds
@@josueetcom progress will slow eventually, but when that'll be is impossible to know beforehand. To just assume that it's now when the past 20 years haven't really given any reason to think that doesn't make sense to me. Also, the record before bolt was 9.72s, it makes a minimal difference with the 9.69 I mentioned
bolt beat the world record a few weeks before i was born. now im finishing my freshman year of high school with honours. wtf this man's record is ageless
He also has the 2nd and 3rd fastest times ever. Maybe the high schooler who is rank number 1 over the 100m at the moment,could break it in the future if he grows taller and stronger.
Bolt 200m record maybe in the next 10years. But is 100m record is on another level and gta more than double the time between every release so 2050 for gta 7 is a good guess.
id imagine bolts 9.58 will last at as long as michael johnsons 400m record did at minimum but its probably more like 20 since neither lyles or coleman is getting close the best bet atm is tebogo but perhaps if he fcouses on 400m he may never reach his 100m potential
I’m saying at least 40 years. I feel like Bolt changed the game of sprinting and we haven’t caught on. I feel the only way to get close is another taller guy with that fast twitch muscle. He never looked like he was sprinting due to his stature. Or find an unlimited stamina Coleman.
honestly sometimes i feel Usain bolt is very lucky that i did not pick up sprinting as a profession or no one would even know him. I would ahve won all those championships and he would be a nobody
Hines set the world record at the 68' Olympics at altitude. So there is that. The record was one of the first to use the new technology of electronic timing. Hence the 9.95 is to the hundredths of a second. Prior to that Hines and some other athletes had run 9.9 seconds. But this was the first instance of sprinting records were electronically timed to the hundredth. The record stood for so long for several reasons. Hines was incredibly fast. The track was a newer surface and most importantly the huge altitude factor. Every sprint records 100m, 200, 400m and relays were all new world record coming out of this Olympics. The altitude played a HUGE factor. Also note that no other track meets of note were ever held at this stadium. It is 7349 feet or 2240m high. The progression for the men's 100m table attached explains the instance of electronic timing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_100_metres_world_record_progression
Didn’t know about Jim Hines. Very interesting because Mexico City is at altitude which may have made it harder (less oxygen) but also easier (less air means less drag). I wonder about sprinting at altitude. Interesting!
It’s as safe as any record out there. There’s no good way to predict if a record will fall >5-10 years out. We’re just playing the genetic lottery whether the right person with the right training will come along. The pace athletes are pushing world records in all of track, especially the 200, I wouldn’t rule out much beyond 10 years. But it also wouldn’t surprise me if it holds up for 30 or 40 years. It would be interesting to get an in depth statistical analysis, I imagine they could get some pretty well informed probability forecasts. I’m not the statistician to do it, but I imagine there would be some nerds out there who would love to dive into it if you gave them the right dataset. Possible future video?
One thing I’d like to see analyzed is what distance race would have the fastest average time. In the 60 m, they are just getting up to speed and don’t have long to hold that speed. In the hundred meters, they get up to top speed, and then our slightly slowing down by the end of the race. What distance race would have the best average speed? Would it be slightly shorter or slightly longer than the hundred meters?
The fastest race from gun to finish is Bolts 150m WB from 2009 where he ran 14.35s which gives an average speed of 10.45 m/s, while his 100m and 200m WRs give an average speeds of 10.43 m/s and 10.42 m/s respectively. If you take reaction time out of the equation, Bolts 100m WR with his 0.146s reaction time, gives an average speed of 10.6 m/s. Yohan Blakes 200m time of 19.26 with his reaction time of 0.269 gives and average speed of 10.53 m/s. I can't find an official reaction time for Bolts 150m record but at a minimum (a 0.1s reaction time as more time would be spent running), it would be 10.53 m/s. A 0.2s reaction time would give an average speed of 10.6 m/s. And he probably could have ran faster if not for the rain and the track being temporary. So I would say the fastest distance is somewhere between 100m and 150m. As even though athletes start to slow down at the end of the 100m, the speed they are running at is still higher than the average speed due to the time spent accelerating.
Actually no, because Bolt doesn't have the triple-triple, he only has 8 gold medals at the Olympics as Jamaica got DQ from 2008 4x100m due to Nester Carter testing positive for a banned substance
@TobyFromGT Jamaica got DQ so Bolt doesn't have the triple-triple, doesn't matter that it wasn't Bolt who doped. Because by that logic, Hughes, Kilty and Mitchell-Blake deserve the Bronze medal from Tokyo Olympics because it was only Ujah who was doping. That doesn't make sense. Would Jamaica have won without Carter, probably. Did they win with Carter, yes so got the DQ. That's all that matters
@TobyFromGT Jamaica got DQ, Bolt has 8 Olympic gold medals, end of story, no but he won his leg pr it was only Carter who doped, none of that matters, the only thing that matters is who crossed the finish line first where all 4 runners didn't cheat. Also if the NBC article is from before Jan 2017, then yes it will say Bolt had the triple triple because that's when thry found Nester Carter to have been doping.
I was 10 at the time, and I told myself that this man will run an even greater time in the next olympics. It didn't happen, but looking at the sprinting scene now, this record will not be falling anytime soon. Tebogo might come close, but i dont think he will break the 100m record. The 100m WR should have way more points than the 200m WR.
As someone who never thought Hines record would be broken I think it will be broken but not in our lifetime for the reasons that you mentioned. A gap of .10 is massive in 100 m and the current generation of off by over .2 seconds. No chance for the foreseeable future.
I believe people need to run under 9.80 regularly to have a realistic shot at 9.58 and since that ain't happening I think minimum Bolts record still has another 5 years
These records can fall quickly. Kipchoge was thought to be untouchable. And then his world record was gone, taken by a man who had not even run a competitive marathon one year earlier.
Well, bolt is lucky because Fred Kerley was going to break it a few years back,until Bolt asked him not to,but Fred has decided to break it in a couple of days.
I've personally clocked raccoons( multiple times) running beside my car at forty mph for three hundred yards or more . Being athlete myself I've ran one hundred meters in 7.0 seconds before ( 11 times back to back) although my fastest speeds would brake a wrist watch so I can only speculate. I had a cop pull up next to me while cycling on a mountain bike I was going 75 mp (thanks no ticket.)
To be fair many athletes have beaten his record and most other records but the Olympics kicks them out . If they are to good they get labeled as drug enhanced, even if the compounds are know to be natural acurring , it will be said there is to much nitrous oxside and they kick them out and delete records of them too. Been happening since the 1950 and maybe before.
All these people saying Bolt's 9.58s record will not be broken for a very long time SO CONFIDENTLY, as if there is no chance a 17 year old right now breaks the record in like 4-5 years. I'm not saying it's either easy or probable, but if Bolt did it, the next one to surpass him could be anyone anywhere anytime. I would be (emotionally) surprised if it gets broken in a few years, but the math checks out, so we're just all collectively and, more importantly, consciously pretend it's impossible.

First, I don't see anyone capable of that time that is alive and sprinting today. So add 15-20 years to the existing 14 plus. Secondly, it will take a unique physical specimen , much like Bolt, to break the record. Sprinters of his "length" and speed are dam near one in a ?????. To sum it up, I'm a 62 year old sprinting coach of 35 years. I believe I will be dead and long past that before anyone even looks like they are capable of that speed. Bolts record is super unique, as he himself is. Short of a drug enhanced freak run ( ala Ben Johnson) all of us posting comments here will not be present to see a new 100 m world record.
We’re asking for a genetic miracle for someone to be able to come anywhere close to that world record. I predict it will be broken sometime in the next 10 to 15 years by someone with a similar build as Bolt (taller than the average sprinter) but with the starting abilities of someone like Bingtian / Coleman. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t broken for longer than that. I don’t see the WR ever going below 9.5 unless there’s a breakthrough in sprinting training.
It is always difficult to predict WHEN a supertalant shows up, but even when it happens, the perfectness of that superrace will be extremly difficult to surpass. I would guess it will stand at least to 2050 ... if not rules are changed ...

While only recently has Bolt’s 9.58 been the longest 100m record, Bolt himself has held the record longer than anybody else for some time now, as he broke the record in 2007.
You mean New York, 2008, right?
@@Yes_I_c4n Yes, excuse me. That is correct. I was confusing his first 100m race with his world record.
Flo Jo's 100m record has stood for 36 years and she broke the previous 100m record by 0.27 seconds! Think about that for a moment.
Her record has a major asterisk with the wind meter not working. Every other race that day had 3+ wind but her race somehow had a 0. Pretty obvious there was a malfuntion and that record shouldnt stand
Add in her much questionable dietary choices and it's pretty clear that this record is made by unfair means
@@mistro-ks5xmher 200m is without a doubt legit and equally old … can’t deny her greatness
@@abone2pick I dont remember questioning her greatness, just how valid that 100m race was. But how kimf86 pointed out she was most likely doping at the time of her records. But who knows maybe bolt was also. I feel most high level athletes have used steroids at one point of their career.
@@mistro-ks5xmaccusing someone of doping is textbook definition of questioning their greatness specially when u admit the competition was doing it too… bolt went from 10.05 to joggin 9.69 in a year bro what u mean “who knows”😹
The fact that every sprinter today is missing 1 element,that was bolts stride length,he’s a good 4-6 inches taller than the tallest runners today.
If a record looks unbreakable🤨🤔, maybe it is a CD🤭!
You should be prosecuted 💀
@@B1gBossMan hahahaa
The sprinter that breaks this record may not have been born.
I think Tobogo probably has a chance if he can stay healthy.
no!
I think Bolt's record will stand for another 14 years (and then some).
Never be broken ❤
Bolts record will be eventually broken. Reminds me of when I heard of Roger Bannister breaking into a 3 minute mile. Until he did it, no person on earth thought it was possible. Now theres plentitude of athletes that have done it. There's eventually always going to be someone stronger and faster at some point on the history timelines
Couldnt have happened to a better athlete.. we love lightening bolt!!!!!
Tyson Gay's fastest 2nd-Place time of 9.71s is also standing just as long as Bolts 9.58s 1st-Place time.
Actually Bolt’s first place time is .13s older than Gay’s 2nd place time 🤓

No way, 9.58 is unassailable this decade at least, none of the current crop can touch it. Blake, Gay, Gatlin and Powell were all generational talents, all faster than everyone running today, and they couldn't come close - clearly it takes more than a generational talent to run 9.5, so Bolt's record may last many decades.
Many people say that Bolt rewrote the formula for superelite sprinting because him aside, you can be 5'9 like Blake and run 9.69, but it's hard to see how someone can reach his top speed without being similarly tall to Bolt because nobody else in history has ever produced the same stride frequency + stride length as him. Nobody else has ever covered 10m in 0.81 like him - the next best is 0.83. Asafa ran that and he's 6'3, and many say his record runs had perfect form.
Comparing 9.58 to 9.69 are two different stories. 7 sprinters who would have run 9.69 - 9.71 with the maximum legal wind - Greene, Gatlin, Coleman, Kerley, Bromell, Omanyala and Jacobs. Even Lyles's 9.83 last year in still wind would be 9.73 with a +2.0m/s, and Lyles hasn't focused on the 100 for long.
Greene's 9.82 in Edmonton all the way back in 2001 would have been 9.71 with max wind - and that's even with him limping the last 20m, where his final 10m was 0.90 - the same split as Bolt's showboating 9.69 in Beijing, and Powell jogging 9.74 in Rieti. We should get a 9.7 guy every generation from this point forward because that's what we've already had (half a dozen of them in this generation), plus junior records are being broken by Erriyon Knighton and Christian Miller, and with advancements to spikes etc. it's what you'd expect.
9.69 is reachable soon. Any 9.58 isn't guaranteed at all, not to be expected in every generation and I don't think will fall for many decades - but if it does, it will come from someone born after I'd say 2004 as I'd expect they'd be someone yet to emerge at the elite level - kind of like how Asafa and Donovan Bailey didn't become world-class until 21+.
@@rolandleslie2564LMAO.
although it was rough, I made a trend line of 100m world records after Jim Hines excluding Bolt's time. It predicted that someone should only have set a time that fast in 2080!!! just goes to show how fast he was.
I don't understand how you made that line. Without Bolt the record would've dropped from 9.95 to 9.69 in 40 years (0.26s improvement). How would it take 70 years for the last 0.11s?
@@thijsbeentjes4008he may have only considered records before Bolt. Also the trend line isn't going to be linear as that would assume we'd eventually have a record of 0 seconds
@@josueetcom progress will slow eventually, but when that'll be is impossible to know beforehand. To just assume that it's now when the past 20 years haven't really given any reason to think that doesn't make sense to me.
Also, the record before bolt was 9.72s, it makes a minimal difference with the 9.69 I mentioned
bolt beat the world record a few weeks before i was born. now im finishing my freshman year of high school with honours. wtf this man's record is ageless
9.58 is just so much faster than what people are running now
It is one of those records where you wonder if anyone will ever break it. I'm sure someone will, but it seems very unlikely anyone is even close atm.
It kind of feels like that record isn’t even Bolt’s absolute best. Crazy.
THIS RECORD IS STILL GONNA HOLD FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS.
He also has the 2nd and 3rd fastest times ever. Maybe the high schooler who is rank number 1 over the 100m at the moment,could break it in the future if he grows taller and stronger.
What do you guys think will happen first?
Someone breaks Bolt's 9.58
Someone breaks Bolt's 19.19
Or GTA 7
GTA 8 💀
19.19. 200 is stacked with potential right now
Bolt 200m record maybe in the next 10years. But is 100m record is on another level and gta more than double the time between every release so 2050 for gta 7 is a good guess.
@@Robson_oklmJesus is the Lamb of God who died and rose again on the third day to take away sin and death and gives eternal life for free

We'll never live to see someone break his record.
Just amazing!😀
54 years.
And still more to go as i can see Noone right now who is breaking it.
Shout out to the cameraman for keeping up with Usain Bolt😮💨
I think it could take another 10 years... for someone to get within a tenth of a second of it.
Its the same as the 100 point game of Chamberlain, the 55 rebound game also will never be broken.
id imagine bolts 9.58 will last at as long as michael johnsons 400m record did at minimum but its probably more like 20 since neither lyles or coleman is getting close the best bet atm is tebogo but perhaps if he fcouses on 400m he may never reach his 100m potential
Yeah this record ain’t getting broken in the next 5 years lol😂 probably not even the next 15 years
His 60m split was 6.29s as per the high speed camera splits-more accurate than the LAVEG laser times
100 years
The last line was a nice pun.
I’m saying at least 40 years. I feel like Bolt changed the game of sprinting and we haven’t caught on. I feel the only way to get close is another taller guy with that fast twitch muscle. He never looked like he was sprinting due to his stature. Or find an unlimited stamina Coleman.
20 years and we will see a bio mechanic optimized runner that broke his record 😂
honestly sometimes i feel Usain bolt is very lucky that i did not pick up sprinting as a profession or no one would even know him. I would ahve won all those championships and he would be a nobody
I dont even know you but I believe you buddy boy...😮
@@richardtominaga8957 thanks lil sis
this record will stand until we invent teleportation
Hines set the world record at the 68' Olympics at altitude. So there is that. The record was one of the first to use the new technology of electronic timing. Hence the 9.95 is to the hundredths of a second. Prior to that Hines and some other athletes had run 9.9 seconds. But this was the first instance of sprinting records were electronically timed to the hundredth. The record stood for so long for several reasons. Hines was incredibly fast. The track was a newer surface and most importantly the huge altitude factor. Every sprint records 100m, 200, 400m and relays were all new world record coming out of this Olympics. The altitude played a HUGE factor. Also note that no other track meets of note were ever held at this stadium. It is 7349 feet or 2240m high. The progression for the men's 100m table attached explains the instance of electronic timing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_100_metres_world_record_progression
It could be 50 years, we're gonna need another 6ft+ Beast to come along
Crazy to realize that 2009 was 14 years ago 😂 Time flies… just like Usain Bolt
Didn’t know about Jim Hines. Very interesting because Mexico City is at altitude which may have made it harder (less oxygen) but also easier (less air means less drag). I wonder about sprinting at altitude. Interesting!
The person who will breack the 9.58 is now there
These US Athletes are swinging it's gonna be a true test , maybe by the next two Olympic.
It’s as safe as any record out there. There’s no good way to predict if a record will fall >5-10 years out. We’re just playing the genetic lottery whether the right person with the right training will come along. The pace athletes are pushing world records in all of track, especially the 200, I wouldn’t rule out much beyond 10 years. But it also wouldn’t surprise me if it holds up for 30 or 40 years. It would be interesting to get an in depth statistical analysis, I imagine they could get some pretty well informed probability forecasts. I’m not the statistician to do it, but I imagine there would be some nerds out there who would love to dive into it if you gave them the right dataset. Possible future video?
One thing I’d like to see analyzed is what distance race would have the fastest average time. In the 60 m, they are just getting up to speed and don’t have long to hold that speed. In the hundred meters, they get up to top speed, and then our slightly slowing down by the end of the race. What distance race would have the best average speed? Would it be slightly shorter or slightly longer than the hundred meters?
The fastest race from gun to finish is Bolts 150m WB from 2009 where he ran 14.35s which gives an average speed of 10.45 m/s, while his 100m and 200m WRs give an average speeds of 10.43 m/s and 10.42 m/s respectively.
If you take reaction time out of the equation, Bolts 100m WR with his 0.146s reaction time, gives an average speed of 10.6 m/s.
Yohan Blakes 200m time of 19.26 with his reaction time of 0.269 gives and average speed of 10.53 m/s.
I can't find an official reaction time for Bolts 150m record but at a minimum (a 0.1s reaction time as more time would be spent running), it would be 10.53 m/s. A 0.2s reaction time would give an average speed of 10.6 m/s. And he probably could have ran faster if not for the rain and the track being temporary.
So I would say the fastest distance is somewhere between 100m and 150m. As even though athletes start to slow down at the end of the 100m, the speed they are running at is still higher than the average speed due to the time spent accelerating.
Someone breaks it before 2050 but Bolt will still be the only sprinter to have triple-triple in Olympics even at that point🤣
Actually no, because Bolt doesn't have the triple-triple, he only has 8 gold medals at the Olympics as Jamaica got DQ from 2008 4x100m due to Nester Carter testing positive for a banned substance
@@maxb4085 nesta Carter tested positive not bolt so therefore it’s still counted because if they didn’t had nesta Carter they would’ve won anyway
@TobyFromGT Jamaica got DQ so Bolt doesn't have the triple-triple, doesn't matter that it wasn't Bolt who doped. Because by that logic, Hughes, Kilty and Mitchell-Blake deserve the Bronze medal from Tokyo Olympics because it was only Ujah who was doping. That doesn't make sense.
Would Jamaica have won without Carter, probably. Did they win with Carter, yes so got the DQ. That's all that matters
@@maxb4085 doesn’t matter Bolt won his part of the relay triple triple it’s uploaded on NBC Sports etc it’s a feat
@TobyFromGT Jamaica got DQ, Bolt has 8 Olympic gold medals, end of story, no but he won his leg pr it was only Carter who doped, none of that matters, the only thing that matters is who crossed the finish line first where all 4 runners didn't cheat.
Also if the NBC article is from before Jan 2017, then yes it will say Bolt had the triple triple because that's when thry found Nester Carter to have been doping.
Still the greatest!!!
Nobody's even remotely close. I think it'll stand for 50 years.
No one's coming anywhere near Bolt's drug tainted records anytime soon.
A generation equals 20 years.
After 15 years, Usain Bolt’s record is beaten…by Usain Bolt.
You can add another fourteen years to his record.He is the greatest sprinter of all time.
If Bolt has babies with a world class female sprinter, then it will be about 30 years from now, 45 years total.
I was 10 at the time, and I told myself that this man will run an even greater time in the next olympics. It didn't happen, but looking at the sprinting scene now, this record will not be falling anytime soon. Tebogo might come close, but i dont think he will break the 100m record.
The 100m WR should have way more points than the 200m WR.
As someone who never thought Hines record would be broken I think it will be broken but not in our lifetime for the reasons that you mentioned. A gap of .10 is massive in 100 m and the current generation of off by over .2 seconds. No chance for the foreseeable future.
3 years til his record broken
It will stand for half a century
Lightning Bolt ⚡️!
His record will never be beaten.
Bro made me really mad with that title and thumbnail thinking it was clickbait and then being happy that bolt did break a record
What's the wind adjusted time for Yohan Blake if he also had 0.9 m/s like Bolt instead of the -0.1 m/s that he had??
Somewhere around Bolt's London Olympic Record time
I believe people need to run under 9.80 regularly to have a realistic shot at 9.58 and since that ain't happening I think minimum Bolts record still has another 5 years
These records can fall quickly. Kipchoge was thought to be untouchable. And then his world record was gone, taken by a man who had not even run a competitive marathon one year earlier.
It may not be broken in the next 100 years.
Well, bolt is lucky because Fred Kerley was going to break it a few years back,until Bolt asked him not to,but Fred has decided to break it in a couple of days.
When people think this is a great accomplishment then a raccoon runs beside your car going 40 mph and hangs there for three hundred yards 😂.
Dont forget his 200m world record had been around just as long🤷♂️
Guess what? He's going to break this record again tomorrow.
I've personally clocked raccoons( multiple times) running beside my car at forty mph for three hundred yards or more . Being athlete myself I've ran one hundred meters in 7.0 seconds before ( 11 times back to back) although my fastest speeds would brake a wrist watch so I can only speculate. I had a cop pull up next to me while cycling on a mountain bike I was going 75 mp (thanks no ticket.)
Usain and I share each other's birthday
To be fair many athletes have beaten his record and most other records but the Olympics kicks them out . If they are to good they get labeled as drug enhanced, even if the compounds are know to be natural acurring , it will be said there is to much nitrous oxside and they kick them out and delete records of them too. Been happening since the 1950 and maybe before.
I think the 200m record could be broken, but the 9.58 might stand for decades
All these people saying Bolt's 9.58s record will not be broken for a very long time SO CONFIDENTLY, as if there is no chance a 17 year old right now breaks the record in like 4-5 years.
I'm not saying it's either easy or probable, but if Bolt did it, the next one to surpass him could be anyone anywhere anytime. I would be (emotionally) surprised if it gets broken in a few years, but the math checks out, so we're just all collectively and, more importantly, consciously pretend it's impossible.
The GOAT
'm Kenyan.
WE do the distance.
I never thought anyone would break Kipchoge's world record in the marathon in a long while.
Then, Kelvin Kiptum broke it.
IT's so sad that we lost him. He was going to attempt the sub two hour marathon this year (April 2024) in ROtterdam but sadly, God had his own plans. WE lost him through a road accident.
YEs, this is about sprinting and Usain Bolt.
Just as we thought no one was going to break the marathon world record in the near future, someone will break Bolt's world record .....perhaps this decade. It can happen.
I cannot put it out of the realms of possibility.
First, I don't see anyone capable of that time that is alive and sprinting today. So add 15-20 years to the existing 14 plus. Secondly, it will take a unique physical specimen , much like Bolt, to break the record. Sprinters of his "length" and speed are dam near one in a ?????. To sum it up, I'm a 62 year old sprinting coach of 35 years. I believe I will be dead and long past that before anyone even looks like they are capable of that speed. Bolts record is super unique, as he himself is. Short of a drug enhanced freak run ( ala Ben Johnson) all of us posting comments here will not be present to see a new 100 m world record.
It will be some years before it's broken
I think it could last 10 more years, but I dont see it lasting much more than that when technology, training methods etc are advancing so fast.
One day a sprinter may break it.
But it will be at high altitude with a +2.0 wind.
record standing for at least 35 years!
This 100m is just unbreakable until the end of time. The 200 for sure may go down within the next 5-10 years but not the 100.
Mexico City records are at altitude....one of the reasons it stood so long.
We’re asking for a genetic miracle for someone to be able to come anywhere close to that world record.
I predict it will be broken sometime in the next 10 to 15 years by someone with a similar build as Bolt (taller than the average sprinter) but with the starting abilities of someone like Bingtian / Coleman.
That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t broken for longer than that. I don’t see the WR ever going below 9.5 unless there’s a breakthrough in sprinting training.
I thought this was coming up.
100years!!!!

It is always difficult to predict WHEN a supertalant shows up, but even when it happens, the perfectness of that superrace will be extremly difficult to surpass. I would guess it will stand at least to 2050 ... if not rules are changed ...
