This moment is the one which changed the history of 100m sprints for the next decade. His world record ensured American dominance in the 100m sprint was well and truly over. Its been 4 olympics and no gold in 100m for USA
Powell was 🔥🔥🔥. He held down Jamaica splendidly, alone when there were no Jamaican star power. Now because of Bolt and Blake people chose to forget about his achievements and judged him. He had his peak , people , and aged like any other.
@@N17-o2r He holds the Guiness World Record for the most sub 10 runs in competition. That is an achievement. Also he held the 100m world record before Bolt. Not many can say they've held that record. The man isn't as succesful as BoIt in individual medals but he has his own achievements. Further, the OP was not even comparing the two; they were simply stating that before Bolt, Asafa was Jamaica's "star" athlete for sprint races
Asafa still could run these times consistently in 2011 and after, if he could just focus only on his lane... He thinks about the persons he's running with. .., then again he has the groin problem.. But all due respect to Asafa.... World class sprinter every time
Always love Powell he was very fast and humble but that groin injury put him through hell. Only thing I dislike he always have a great start then slows down at or near the finishing line. Sometimes I wonder if this injury was there all along and he didn't want to push too hard to make it worst, but nevertheless my respect to him.
He couldn't run any faster...it's just his technique... his acceleration is great but he can't maintain his top end speed right through...he needed 200m stamina...same with Coleman
To Walter Alexander Asafa do not do drugs, list a drugist who is humble. What they found Asafa with was not steroids. Does Asafa looks like he enjoys the limelights. Asafa runs because he was told that he can run. Follow the man's career before you make jealous accusation.
One of the fastest man to ever touch the track only to choke on the big stage, smh he is still the no 1 for me. Your the man bolt but Asafa is still the 9.77 man who allowed us to see that all was possible.
@@rhettpalmer5477 No, it doesn't make sense. Read again. I said about start part and second part. And yes, it is possible to be faster in the last 50 m and still lose in overall 100 m race.
Well, as we now know, NO GOLD for Tyson! What is really strange is that Tyson had the race up to 20 yards to go. He is known for kicking away, even from Bolt. He did this in England earlier this year, and left Bolt behind. I think there is a witch on his back-so to speak. He can never seem to break even.
I'd like to see the win rate of the top Jamaicans vs the top US 100 meter guys. Of course Bolt has a winning record against US but what about the other Jamaicans like Powell or Blake vs Tyson Gay or Gatlin?
I feel sorry for Tyson lol, first there was powel, now he has bolt and there's Blake. As much as I love the Jamaican team, I know that Tyson gay is going to be very hungry for gold in London. It's going to be EPIC
Powell was never fit enough to run his fastest in major championship finals. He could not recover from the heats and semis so he never ran a PB in a major final while other athletes were running their best race of the year in the major final so he could never win the big one. The Bolt came along and that was it for Powell's chances at winning. There are a few drug comments here. Powell was coached for years by Stephen Francis and many of that group, including Powell have failed drug tests. Interestingly enough, the other major sprint training group in Jamaica, Bolt's group coached by Glen Mills, has not had any failed drug tests to my knowledge. So if you want to know if a Jamaican sprinter is clean just check which training group they are in and you might have a good idea.
The thing about track and field is bringing your 99% game will cost you. Say your PR in the 100m is 10.00....so a 99% game is a 1% slower time. Meaning 10.00 x 0.01 = __0.10__ seconds quite a margin to win or lose buy. While you are bringing a 99% game the guy beside you decided to bring his 100% game and the race is won...
the only time bolt raced tyson gay this year was in the olympics, and the only time he;s beaten him fairly recently was in 2010 just before bolt got his back injury
I would really like to know why, for the last couple of years, Powell just can't be that competitive...Why can't he be this confident when he is running against top sprinters? Maybe he needs to stop relying on FAITH and just be confident, and put in the necessary efforts needed to win.
Nay he should continue in faith because as it is written we walk by faith and not by sight and as it is written its impossible to please God without faith
lol bolt won and blake came second but my baby asafa got injured thats ok he sitll made us proud he`s coming home to us with the others as a pioneer for life jamaica has made history on her birthday team jamaica for ever
@Faustin Dutoy Bouley u realised bolt has nothing to prove after 2016 opympics. Asafa is still running because he has something to prove. Why should bolt keep running if he already accomplish almost everything in sprinting.
@@peoplegetslapped1502 gay was a decent sprinter 10.2s but never anything spectacular i think he started using after barton county community college he cant run anymore blew his body up running those crazy 9.6 times
@@neilnelmar8007 yep i run sprints if you take drugs to go past your sprinting limits you will eventually fry out your system tyson gay just ran 10.3 here in houston sad sight to see he will probably be running 10.8s soon
Now you know why a "natural" 9.58 placed 3 behind 1st place 9.90 at 2017 worlds championship. What was different at this race? It was made known.........after........ all the athletes arrived and settled in. Super strict dope testing was in full effect.

Exactly
That probably shows that he is watching what is around him too much rather than have a tunnel vision. Laser focus
Yep I noticed that too
Hopefully Gatlin and Gay and Powell can do well these next 3 years. They were all born the same year interestingly enough.

Sprinter in lane 7 (maybe leonard scott) clearly stepped on lane line and maybe even over lane line several times. Is that legal in sprinting?
I don't understand. How were the times flashed at the beginning of the video before they raced?
That was his season best so far that year. He equalled it in this race.
Tyson gay was always right there when a world record was set

powell failed the test because he took a supplement, and the company did not put that ingredient on the label. powell sued and they settled the case.
Blake tested positive.
