Shame that Maurice Greene isn't commentating for Eurosport. He was amazing, amiable and humanised the sport. And absolute legend
Nah he was arrogant and braggadocios like most American sprinters.
Greene was an absolute monster back in the day.
I have total respect for M Green. One of the greatest to ever do it
The one and only Maurice Greene!
Mo Greene. A wise man. Very knowledgeable of the sport.
y doesn't he start coaching, i think he could be a great one
He is a coach. Sha cari, TT, etc is coached by him
@@michellemalla4365 really i didn't have that
@@michellemalla4365 Sha'carri and TT are coached by Dennis Mitchell, with Kung Fu Kenny Bednarek and Courtney Lindsay
Maurice nailed it. Bolt was an anomaly, leave him out of the equation. Even when out of his prime (2013 onwards), he was still winning and running 9.7s when needed.
Facts bro facts
@@godwinmathias363Maybe in 2013 Bolt was still close to his prime, as he ran a 9.77s into a headwind and in the rain. And still split 6.35s at 60m, which is a good indicator for a relatively in shape Bolt. Surely in better conditions (still wind and no rain) that time would have been a 9.6s race.
You're 100% correct about Bolt. He was insane. You know what's crazy. Back in 2013 on NBC. Ato Bolden said that Bolt could've run his 10th best time and win.
He was not exaggerating
1. 9.58 Berlin
2. 9.63 London
3. 9.69 Beijing
4. 9.72 New York
5. 9.76 Kingston
6. 9.76 Brussels
7. 9.76 Rome
8. 9.79 Oslo
9. 9.81 Zurich
10. 9.82 Lausanne
These were his 10 best times just before the Moscow final.
Gatlin ran 9.85 to take silver. Bolt literally could've run his 10th best and still win.
Hell even if you want to remove multiples.
1. 9.58 Berlin
2. 9.63 London
3. 9.69 Beijing
4. 9.72 New York
5. 9.76 Kingston
6. 9.79 Oslo
7. 9.81 Zurich
8. 9.82 Lausanne
9. 9.83 Zurich
10. 9.84 Paris
Again, all of these are his 10 best before the Moscow final.
That man was absolutely yoked in his prime.
@@khumokwezimashapa2245From 08 to 2013 he was unbeatable. From 14 onwards, he was still a very, very fast man, just not quite on the same level as when he went God mode before. Even with his crappy 2015 season, he still pulled off a 9.79s into a 0.5s headwind and 19.55s in the 200m, lol. These are the times he clocked in likely his worst season ever, lol. In 2016 I think he was in better shape again but the results didn't show that and were actually worse (as in slower) than in 2015.
@@Yes_I_c4n I also feel he was in better shape in 2016, but I have no idea what happened. Time wise he underperformed at Rio, which is insane to say, because 9.81 and 19.78 is not slow 😅
In those late 90s early 2000s Maurice was everything
Words of wisdom from a sprinting legend,,, Maurice Green..
Great answers, Mo Greene, you definitely know the sport.
Maurice Green--my favorite sprinter of all times!
Except Bolt, nobody managed to dominate this so competitive sport of 100m like Maurice Greene:
1997 1st World Champion Athen
1999 1st World Champion Sevilla
2000 1st Olympic Champion Sydney
2001 1st World Champion Edmonton (in that race, he had a potential under 9s74 time)
5 complete years of domination in that sport is GREAT
It's unbelievable that Maurice turned 50 yesterday !!!!! Happy birthday champ
OG still looks good!
Mo is an interesting guy to listen to. It's always good to get the perspective of someone that's been at the super elite level and can articulate the various nuances involved.
Green, it was nice to see him race. His antics before the race was spectacular …Game face and else.
Nice to see he's still out there and showing up at meets. Very cool! I heard him speak a while ago (maybe 10 years?) and he was quite articulate when answering random questions from an audience. No hemming and hawing on topics. Seems like a great guy
Seams such a chill and down to earth guy 🎉🎉
Such a good analysis! Good interview.
LEGEND🎉
Great interview
Maurice green look great over all does years
Green is legit legend, obviously this was before Kishane that dude is probably getting the 100
Unbiased and professional. Mo is too good to be an American.
@@darkenergy361 Did you understand my comment?
@@mellowmonsoon278 I understood your comment. It was ignorant xenophobic small-minded bullshit.
@@Dave-lr2wo Its not...he\she speaks the truth. If you ask that dog Carl Lewis the same questions he would not speak like Maurice
@@jamaicanpunch Guess what? On a per-capita basis, Jamaica's RATE of ped use is the highest. You can deny this, but you can go do the reasearch yourself. (But I doubt you're capable of being objective and also doing actual research at this level.) Facts are facts. Now what? Go ahead and run along.
@@Dave-lr2wo Don’t look down on your own self by calling your reply a “ignorant bullshit”. Have some self respect
Mo Green! Will we hear his commentary via Citius Mag in Paris?!
Nice interview Mo!
Mo the real deal
The day a 6 ‘5 or taller sprinter comes along who can turnover very well they will break the WR for 100m. I truly believe it’s such a power event that the person who can take the less steps will run the fastest.
Height alone has got nothing to do with it. You can't just say that a tall guy, whose turnover is very good, is going to break the WR. It takes much more than that.
@@Yes_I_c4n it isn’t ONLY that my man… come on stop that
Lol you don't need to be a copy of bolt to break the record. The person that will break it will probably be nothing like bolt
@@afrobuddy4801 Tobogo can break it. And he is a lot like bolt
@@Skippygoesharder Tebogo is literally like nothing like bolt. He is just a young phenom like bolt but nowhere near as tall as bolt and his form is very different from bolt
Running fast is relative🎉❤😂
They are all running slow compared to previous years.
Usain may have been an anamoly but you can't take him out the equation cause he's the one they all gotta beat time wise. Wouldn't even call him an anamoly he didn't just come on the scene and run those times. He was running for many yrs before 2008, competing during his teens at hight school in Jamaica and at world juniors. He just maximized his gift with the help of his coach from 2008 onwards and turned a corner in sprinting that others have not reached as yet. Not sure when we will see someone get close to the corner to be honest.
He is an anomaly because there is no sprinter as tall as bolt with his insane turnover. For a 1.95m sprinter to have as good a start as bolt (2nd fastest 60m split in history behind su) is insane and not normal. It cannot be replicated so people that want to beat his record shouldn't use him as a blueprint
Yes you can. His foot speed(turn over), his height, his stride length, are all unique to him. You make Usain Bolt 6'2, it's an entirely different story. His ability to turn over as quickly as a man much shorter, etc....this all makes him some what of a freak of nature. This is why you can't use him as a point of comparison because of his uniqueness. It's like comparing everyone to Jordan. There are some people that come around only once in a life time(exceptions to the rule), and that definitely was Bolt. As long as you keep trying to compare everyone's speed to Bolt, you won't truly appreciate the greatness of these other athletes. While they might not be better than Bolt, they sure as hell are better than us regular folks.
The tongue guy after the finish line:)....
The only guy from his era that weren't on the juice !
oh he was absolutely on the juice and Ato even called him out on it
@@vijays6911 all speculation and no hard evidence to support what you’re saying. He never failed a drugs test.
@@user-om2fg7yh6s Go read Boldens letter
@@user-om2fg7yh6s are you for real? Lance Armstrong never failed a drug test either...lmao
@@user-om2fg7yh6s They’re on all gear. Juice and athletics is like peanut butter and jelly.
To run as fast as Bolt at 9.58sec, you would need to be at least 6 ft 5 and muscular slim. None of the athletes we have right now is built anything close to that.
You just described Bolt himself, but you left out 1 thing? you'd have to be on something illegal!
@@cliffordhill2365 reefer
You don't have to be 6'5 didn't you just hear what Mo Mo said he said Bolt was an anomaly most tall dudes can't run that fast.
@@cliffordhill2365 bolt was not on anything illegal.
@@cliffordhill2365 you just made that up. smh
Faster tracks, lighter shoes. Anything is possible.
KANSAS CITY STAND UP!!!
KCK
The technological advances will far exceed the biological. 9.9, 9.8, 9.7 are still mind blowing. 9.6 9.5. is absurd.
You should have asked him if he removed his goat tattoo 😂
You got some folks who say " ALL " of todays top track stars are on something? what about Sydney M. Levrone?
The people who say that don't know anything about the sport. They're casuals just spewing ignorant drive-by comments. No, not all athletes in track are on PEDs. In fact, it's only a small percentage who are, and then most of those are caught at some point in their career by their national system or the governing body.
Exactly!
Why is she immune from that discussion? I mean she's putting in very top end times and doesn't compete that often. That's a bit suspicious.
That said her technical skill with the hurdles is unbelievable.
She trains under Bob Kersee who was accused of running drug programmes for athletes in the 80s. The LA Times ran an article in 1989 about it. She's rarely on the circuit and has run incredible times. Yes, she has great technique, but the rest of those points raise suspicions.
@@samhardy6319 1. You're talking about Angela Bailey, who could never run as fast as the rest of the people in her collegiate program and believed it was because she wasn't "in on it", so she threw stupid rumors around.
2. Review the entire list of athletes Kersee has coached over 40 years and let me know which ones have been convicted of doping. Good luck.
3. Sydney is a bible thumping fantatic and I very strongly doubt her fanaticism is compatible with cheating.
4. You spelled it "programmes" and it's obvious youre a brit or canadian with a stupid grudge.
I don’t give a damn about the shoes none of these nowadays sprinters are even running as fast as Justin Gatlin who is #4 on the list (100m)so try again with the shoes part😂
Polite way of saying sprinters are weak compared to his generation
Current gen is better than his by a significant margin.
Literally
Bolt/Gatlin/Gay/Powell era is such a huge anomaly anyway.
3 of athletes were suspended either for doping or having a stimulant that was eventually banned by WADA
@@vecernicek2 nope
@@11398666 Well, the times don't lie, do they. Better time equals better sprinter.
@@vecernicek2 no they are not, not even close
Grandpa Mo looking about 60 yrs old now! 😂
I said the same thing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that bruh lookin’ like somebody 63 yo Uncle talkin’ back in my day at the cookout
You realize he was in his prime in 1999 right?
That's 25 years ago.
@MrFlex5 Yes, but he's only 49 years old now. His face looks 60+!
So f.......what!!!!!
@newtonpeart8573 Stay away from drugs, kids! They age you fast!
I remember when he tattooed that he was the GOAT on himself. Has he removed that tat as yet?
@@Andrembramwell You said it. He was pretty good for his era. It was stupid and arrogant that he would consider himself the greatest of all time. I wonder if Bolt considers himself the greatest of all time.
@@ajrocks12xit’s not stupid tho bc at one point he was . That’s like bolt getting that tat bc at this point bolt is GOAT but if someone surpasses his marks that done make bolt stupid for having that tat.
@@ronnieyoung2075 one thing is to surpass Greene, another totally different thing is to surpass Bolt, though. How do you surpass a 21 year old winning 3 gold medals at the Olympics, breaking the 100m WR in the 100m while celebrating from 85m onwards, breaking what seemed at the time, an impossible 200m WR to break, and breaking the 4x100m WR too? And all at the same Olympics...
If that alone is not enough, one year later, at 22 he breaks the WR in both the 100 and 200m in the most iconic times that stand till this day. And then he turned 23. Lol. At 25, in London 2012, he agains does his thing and gets new WR, new OR, runs a 19.32s while easing up and gets gold medals yet again. Lol, just out of this world...
@@ronnieyoung2075 : It was stupid. And no, he never was. What do you think all time means?
Mo could lay claim to being the GOAT in his day though. He held the 3 fastest 100m times ever, 3 world records (=50m, 60m, 100m), World champion 3x in a row, Olympic champion, 3 fastest 60m times ever, was fastest man every year from 1997 - 2002, and ran 9.82 limping the last 20m with a pulled hamstring.
Carl Lewis has more medals and longevity, but Mo was much faster, and more dominant.
Mo face cheeks got fat😅
@@jonathanalleyne2917 what did you expect, we don't stay young and fit forever.
Are you 12 years old? lol
100% of sprinters are drug cheats. All. Of. Them.
If all of them are drug cheats , it’s still the one who worked the hardest, the most talented and the one who executed the best wins. They don’t teach those in Canada math I guess.
@@mellowmonsoon278 Nobody is clean. Usain was the dirtiest drug cheat in the history of track and field. Greene was juiced to the max. In fact every Olympic champion in the 100m since 1980 has been a dirty drug cheat. Every. Single. One.
Even the 1980 Olympic champion was juiced. I hate to say it but that was fact. Read the champion’s memoir before he passed. He admitted it so let’s accept it, it’s part of the sport.
@@CanadaMath
Why the fuck do you watch the sport if you don't like any of the athletes in it?
@@Insert639 Because your mother told me to.
i've always liked Mo. cool guy.
