- The history and progression of the men's 100m sprint, from 1891 to 2021
With the Tokyo Olympics upon us, I thought it was a good time to look back at all of the men's 100m world records set so far
Settle in for a recap of every men's 100 metre sprint world record set so far

Had to trim out some small segments due to copyright. It'll jump slightly at Jesse Owens and Asafa Powell because of it, sorry!
Growing up no matter what I was into I never missed the men’s or women’s 100m race. Having the pleasure of watching bolt break the record I dam near shed tears for me and my father who has long passed. He would of loved to see bolt out there dominating the way he did. It was a tradition for my father and since his passing I’ve passed it on to my children to watch the Mens and women’s 100m races wherever they are.
Good on you, bro.
Note Jesse Owens 4 gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics included the 4x100 metres relay and not the 400 metres as stated in the video.
Great job
Great video
Bolt record will stand for umpteen of years to come........he's the goat of track and field
Until another freak of nature comes along.
His record will stand for 1,000 years.
Lyles!!!
@@Parker3Curry30 so far there have been 14 sprinters in history who ran faster than Noah Lyles' best 100 m time. Lyles didn't even break the 9.8 barrier, let alone the 9.7 and the 9.6. So he is far from coming close to the world record or goat status.
@@yozkopf3000 Hes will be come Paris!
Good vid. Just a note at 7:12. Charlie Green's hand-timed 9.9 was in a separate race from that of Jim Hines and Ronnie Ray Smith. They were two semi-finals for the 1968 AAU champs. Green won the final later that evening.
And 14 years and still no 1 has even got a 10th of a second away.
It would take a really special human with freaky genetics to beat Bolts record.
When Summoning Salt expands into reality
The key driver for the new records are the tracks. Olympic in Tokyo 1964 was the last time without a Tartan track. 1968 the first Track in Europe was installed in Zuerich Letzigrund. The timing since 1960 from Omega was possible for two digits but for 10 years only one digit was used. The shoes are now significant changed. But from a Kangaroo Leather adidas in 1968 to a Mesh Variant in 1993 the difference is not that big in weight. The advantage was the Shoe to manufacture tighter as with leather. If the Swiss would have opted for Meetings above 1500 Meter hight St Moritz for example. The records would have been smashed decades ago. The records in Mexico and Calvin Smiths one based on hight.
Powell run 9.72 he is the fourth fastest man. Jamaica have the 3 fastest time ever in the 100m 9.58, 9.63 and 9.69 that is the greatest record for a tiny nation it seems the people born on that land are the greatest people on the planet.
They definitely have some good genes for fast twitch muscle fibers!
Plus Ben Johnson, Donovan Bailey and Linford Christie are all Jamaican too.
@@MS-ii1svBen Johnson is Canadian.
@@johnmc3862 Yeah Sort of. He moved to Canada from Jamaica when he was like 15 or 16.
@@johnmc3862 So nothing Canadian about his genetics.
Bob Hayes actual time was 10.06 Armin Hary ran 10.25 for his 10.0.
The Gustavus Town Kirby Timing Device (GTKTD) was the first FAT device and was used originally to determine the correct order of finish in horse races in the late 1920's. In the early 1930's it was used in track and field sprint events. Ralph Metcalfe held the first 100 meter FAT world record of 10.62 (10.6 HT) at the 1932 Olympic Trials on July 16, 1932 which was broken almost 2 weeks later in the 1932 Olympic 100 meter final by both he and Olympic Gold Medalist Eddie Tolan on Aug 1, 1932 with a time of 10.38 (10.3 HT) seconds. This would remain the FAT world record until Barney Ewell broke it 15 years 11 months and 22 days later with a time of 10.35 (10.2 HT) seconds on July 9, 1948, which In turn was broken 11 years and 11 months later by Armin Hary with a time of 10.25 (10.0 HT) seconds on June 21, 1960. Hary held the FAT world record for 3 years and 7 months until Bob Hayes followed that up with his 1964 Olympic final run of 10.06 (10.0 HT) seconds on October 15, 1964. That record also lasted about 3 years and 7 months until Jim Hines ran 10.03 (9.9 HT) seconds on June 20, 1968 at the Night of Speed (NOS). Hines NOS run was the first time any sprinter clocked sub 10 seconds under any official legal timing conditions and is still the fastest that anyone has run 100 meters on a natural non-synthetic surface. It was the Sea Level WR for 12 years until James Sanford broke it in May of 1980 clocking 10.02 on UCLA's synthetic track. Officially it was the all conditions WR for about 4 months until Charlie Greene ran 10.02 (A) in the 4th quarterfinal at the 1968 Olympics on October 13, 1968. Greene's WR lasted for only 1 day as Hines ran his infamous 9.95 (A) FAT the very next day in the 100 meter final. Hines' 9.95 remained the world record for 14 years 8 months and 19 days, the longest so far in the OFFICIAL FAT era. Prior to 1977 only manual or Hand times (HT) were considered official for record purposes, Fully automatic timing (FAT) did not become mandatory for world records until 1 January 1977.
I think both 100 metre records will stand for a long time yet and Flo Jo’s looks set to outlive anyone reading this.
Bolts record is gona stand for a long long time
This world record of 9.58 will never broken in the next 50 years.
I tend to agree. I think that record will stand for a long time now
Depends on if Knighton is planning on going into that...He seems to have the best potential at the 200m record and IF he can get that he might be able to train for the 100m, you never know.
Another Jamaican will come along! Bolt junior!
@@hollywoodpineapple8337 knighton is not close to bolt 200m record
Fast!
How fast can it go?
Some of this progression is technology, much as it is with golf driving distances. For example, when they took into account what Jesse Owens had to endure at the 1936 Olympics: a crude cinder surface, having to dig his own hole with a little spade to provide some support for the start rather than having blocks, and the low tech of the shoes and adjusted for the technology, he came up about one pace short of Usain Bolt's 9.58. This isn't even considering the benefits he'd have derived from what we've learned about training over the last 87 years. When you consider that Owens looked like he was out for a light jog, you have to consider that the guy would've given the modern giants of the sport all they wanted and more.
With my time of 10.72 I could’ve been a gold medalist 130 years ago
That's the spirit!
10.72 still puts you well into the top 1% of fastest humans ever :D
If the US athletic mafia hadn't destroyed Ben Johnson, the fastest man on the planet would have done it even more than Usian Bolt.
What? Johnson was pumped to the gills with steroids. He would have won the drug Olympics sure. It was his fault.
yh right
Leaving Ben Johnson out of this discussion, regardless of drug use or not, does a disservice to the history of the event. Ben Johnson broke the mental barrier that sprinters had regarding 9.90 seconds. Once he did it with his 9.83 & 9.79 runs, many more followed over the next 25 years. Now the event has stagnated.
Asafa Powell is the 4th first man ever not 5th
Remember in the early days it was 100 yards for many years before it was 100m, and yards are shorter than 100m
Powell? is fifth i think is still fourth, fifth gatlin. De Grasse record had air adied so its not a record.
Well, his personal best was 9.72s but when the World Record was already lower than that.
There was smal paradox in sprint (100m, 200m). From 1996 to 2008 the fastest men sprinter was Michael Johnson. His 200m world record 19.32 on 1st August 1996 made him fastest sprinter till Usaint Bolt 200m world record 19.30 in Beijing.
Johnson didn't run the 100m dash, so he doesn't belong in a video about the 100 m world record or the fastest 100m sprinters. If Johnson was faster in the 100 metres, then he would have competed there as well and won but he did not.
It’s hard to believe they ran 10.3 that fast with that track and spikes when it’s hard for me to get pass my pb of 10.40
14 years still not broken,it is said that usain ran 9.5 during training
For my best is Ben Johnoson. All athlets dopped ALL. Crybaby Lewis couldn't take the loss!
Bolt didn’t, he was tested to the hilt. Johnson is a cheat.
usain never doped
Hello, thank you for video ❤️
8:20 Ben Johnson 88 Olympics - 9.88
9.79 at the '88 Olympics; 9.83 in '87 at the World Championships.
С рекордами на 100м всегда была большая путаница. В 1921 году американец Паддок пробежал 110 ярдов( 100.58) за 10.2, но его не признали мировым на 100м, Меткальф так же в 30 е годы пробегал за 10.2, но его рекорд так же не признали. В 1950 году не признали рекорд панамца Ла Бича 10.1 , по непонятной причине. В 1964 году на олимпийских играх в Японии применили электронный хронометраж Роберт Хейес пробежал по первой, мокрой от дождя и истоптанной бегунами на 10000м дорожке , за 10.06 по электронике, опередив второго бегуна на. 0,2 секунды!! Ручные секундомеры зафиксировали 9.8; 9.9; 9.9, но его результат был округлен до 10.0 и он лишь повторил рекорд немца Хари, чей рекорд, в пересчёте на электронику, был лишь 10.25. Задним числом лишили рекорда Бена Джонсона 9.83 ( 1987) , хотя он попался лишь год спустя на олимпиаде 1988 ( 9.79). Забавно, что проблемы с допингом имели практически все участники того забега, но столь суровое наказание получил лишь Джонсон. Монтгомери ( 9.78) , насколько я помню, рекорда, за аналогичное нарушение не лишали
9.9+
Yohan Blake was the man to break it in his prime but too many injuries
Command blocks will SET !
My friend is too fast!
🤍
If modern athletes were to run a race using early 20th century shoes, track....how much of a difference would it make?
Pointless question because it can never be tested
Put modern shoes on early 20th century athletes instead, it's not gonna make much of a difference
@@mellowmonsoon278 Put Usain Bolts in the shoes and track surface of Jesse Owens ?
All of the paraplegic top 5 ran under 10s. 2023
Why is it that 100 years ago? They’re only off by second and two tenth they don’t have as good of tracks that they had they don’t have the shoes they had. They don’t have the drugs the food with all that they’ve only gained one second and 2/10 I think we have to hold her hands up to those guys 100 years ago.
BAAAD!!!!
Usain Bolt Only
No Ben’s record no 100m history
I believe bolt wr of 9.58 will stand in the next 40-50 years and maybe it is the human limit. No one could ever touch under 9.6 except the only one special man usain bolt.
Ben Johnoson was better it was confirmed by many specialists
@@pumelo1 no way, not even on steroids was Johnson better than Usain Bolt
If you'd have given Jesse Owens starting blocks, high tech shoes and a modern surface rather than energy-sucking cinder, experts have concluded he'd have been about one stride behind Bolt. That's not even considering the fact that Owens didn't have access to all we've learned in the last 90 years about training...and the obvious point that when he dominated the '36 Olympics 100, he looked for all the world that he was cruising and probably had another 10th lower in the tank if he'd needed to press the issue--which he didn't he was so far ahead. Not sure Bolt would beat Owens, all factors being equalized.
are you crazy?@@pumelo1
they can predict all the want usian has the record. look at how long the 400m women record has been standing and no 1 can beat it with all this technology.
@@mrw1208
Bolt's record will stand for 1,000 years.
Hmm
I'll take that bet😀
1000 years is a long time
😂😂
4:58 No more white champions from this day.
Isn’t Carl Lewis a drugs cheat?
Gotta hand it to Bolt. The dude was on cutting-edge drugs
Bolt will die a world record holder.
Maurice Greene failed drug test so those records don’t even count
If Ppl go faster than Usain. Ppl will hurt the themselves. TURN Up!
Honestly with the cuts in the middle of the video, this is just a bad video. Either take it down and remake it slightly or just take it down. This video does a disservice to your channel and its terrible to watch in its current form.
Please stop giving out.
Bolt was also failed drug test and also had a gold medal taking away his records don’t count either
That wasn't Bolt. His relay teammate failed a drug test that cost Bolt a relay gold. Not Bolt.
