Gotta love Michael Johnson. His analysis is always technically brilliant. Legend.
I just like how Bolt is always so loose. He never looks nervous at all. He doesn't get blinded by the lights. They fuel him.
One track legend talking about another track legend!!! Love it
Will miss bolt. What a nice guy
They asked Bolt how was he able to run so fast, his reply was..."It's in the yams."
usain is the greatest he never gives up
Than he jogs the last half of a 100m and STILL WINS 😂
I'm so glad this awesome athlete of a man, broke this down for me. I'm always like, how does Usain have a 2nd gear? Hehe. Now I get it! Micheal Johnson was really a great and awesome champion in his time! Usain Bolt is another great and awesome champion in his time! They're all really just great! Right on!
I love the background music 💃🏃💃🏃💃🙌
So true he doesn’t give up from the very first beginning
awesome explanation
At 1:51 in the background, you can see that someone threw an object on the track to try and confuse the runners.
yeah, looks like a bottle
I remember that. Thankfully it didn't affect the sprinters. It probably would have been a different outcome.
Tonatihu Gutierrez It sucks that people do that... I mean, if they threw a bottle to a Football game or something, that's fine.... But these athletes have been working for year for that moment, and just being willing to ruin that for an athlete makes you such a terrible human being!
yeah, absolute moron(s)
I imagine someone was trying to put Bolt off, cause him to false start and be disqualified? I wonder if it had happened whether he could have appealed, either immediately or subsequently?
Good commentary
Talking about starts, Asafa Powell is a freak of nature. Despite him being 6ft 3, he accelerates very quickly and I reckon it being better than Gatlin, probably has the best starts in the world. Sadly when he is at maximum velocity his legs look kind of restricted unlike Bolt, Gatlin, Blake and Gay who seems to look more natural.
Totally agree! He's start off the blocks is way better than Gatlin. And yes, when he reaches the 70m mark his legs kind off goes up & down rather than going front and back
Where can I get the music playing in the background?
Dear IOC, why do you disallow mobile embedding on your vids? Dont you want them to be seen by a broad audience? Thanks
No lie.... I could listen to MJ breaking down Usain Bolt all day. There's nothing like listening to ONE Greatest of all time... Generational Athlete, talk about or Gush about the NEW Greatest of all time Dude. And do it in a humble and knowledgeable way. 👏👏👏
I've tried listening to Gatlin talk about Bolt and their rivalry and it just doesn't come across the same way.??
Regardless, there's ZERO doubt in how much MJ respects and admires Bolt ....and vice versa with Bolt respecting MJ. Two Legends
Awesome bro
Still don't know the music name.....
Am I the only one who thought the title said Michael Jordan?
You know what would have been great to see? An analysis of Ryan Bailey's race. Right now he's the second tallest sprinter behind Bolt. I would really love to see how the two compare. From this race looks to me that he had one of the slowest drive phases of the line. Did he just start poorly because of nerves or did his height compromise his start as well.
I think Ryan Bailey has just as much potential as Usain Bolt. Bailey's 6'4" tall compared to Bolt's 6'5" tall. they're both the size of NBA shooting guards. Ryan Bailey could actually challenge Usain Bolt if he had Asafa Powell's or Justin Gatlin's starts combined with Tyson Gay's top end speed. but Michael Johnson in this video stated that the taller you are, the harder it is to have a good start with Asafa Powell being an exception. so Ryan Bailey has just a hard time to get that quick start as Usain Bolt.
+Kwame Amparbeng ryan is fast,but he doesnt have the power.
+youvids9820 you're right about Ryan Bailey's lack of power. Cuz when Bolt and Bailey raced against each other on the final leg of the relay at the games, they were both even at one point but then Usain Bolt began to pull away and win for Jamaica.
Kwame Amparbeng But that's simply because Usain has better top end speed. I don't get your original point because I could say that if Asafa had Usain's top end speed, he'd beat Bolt. If we are going to say that if this person got this other person's ability then he could win, then EVERYONE could win. The point is that they do not. Bolt not only has an incredible top end speed, he's also able to maintain that speed longer than anyone else. Bailey doesn't have that.
I want to see an analysis of Bailey not because I think he has a chance of winning, but because I wan't to see if the angle issues Bolt has is a problem Bailey has as well or if it's a problem unique to Bolt. Every race I've seen with Bailey shows him lagging behind the others at the start, but I don't know if he's just a poor starter or if getting out of the blocks quickly is hindered because of his height.
+Kwame Amparbeng his legs are not as long as bolts
What's the song?
Michael Johnson still the real King
what song
Bolt has Top end speed .
USAIN bolt ...the king
its like bowser speed and baby mario acceleration
usain bolt cannot do anything about his mechanics, he just need a good start and rest is history, he has power and stride CANNOT be beaten
+Tamu Brook that's true. I'm pretty sure 9.58 seconds will fall in Rio this year.
Well it didn't the 400m did but not 100m
until someone faster comes along
So I get that a tall runner like Usain Bolt has the advantage later in the race due to his long strides, but for the 100 meter dash, Johnson explains that unlike most tall sprinters, Usain Bolt doesn't "give up" at the first 30 meters which is why he is able to perform so well. But I'd like to know why he doesn't "give up" in the start like other tall sprinters.
Because he has an unusually fast "first 30 meters" for a tall sprinter. There is no reason really. He just isn't hampered by his height in the early part of the race like most tall sprinters are. When you have the best "top speed" (30-70 meters of a 100 meter race) and you can stay ahead or even with the competition for the beginning of the race, that makes you almost unbeatable.
So it's like a gift from god
loonaticaaron Yes. You could say that. He's just simply a better sprinter than everyone else. He has shown that we are wrong about what we think the best body for a sprinter is. People used to think you had to be shorter for the best body type.
Maybe he does give up something and if he was shorter he would be that much faster in the 30 metres. Just a thought.
Maybe. And that makes him even greater if it's true.
Great video but I have a question from Michael Johnson
how do you explain that Flo-Jo record still stands to this day? when there's better nutrition better equipment better training better technique how is that possible? even in the light since her record was set, the men record fell several times. Whatever she took, whatever they were testing on her ultimately killed her... can someone say early stages of enhance hormone therapy
Mmh special!!!!
i dont get why we just dont take the greatest athletes in the world and breed them together to create super super athletes?
How would we benefit from that?
to see the limits of human potential numb nuts
Humans that lived in the prehistoric era were super athletes.
+jnicemint wow
+SomeGuy he is right you know... Africans were bred
how the heck can women run so fast? women run a second slower in 100m (and just 2mph slower) and Pryce is 5.0ft tall..is it because their upper bodies are so much lighter?
plus the majority athletes(americans) are in the juice
Have you heard of the anti doping agency they do tests on everybody before they perform
They're are ways around it bud. Only well known sprinter that hasnt been caught was the poster boy Bolt. If word gets out hes on juices ratings go down, as well as money.
Not to be racist but why are the fastest sprinters black
Genetic advantage
