Injuries.

Nah he tore his ACL and he's never been the same since

And he pushes himself too much. He went to hospital right after winning 2015 world champs finals

There won't be sport in 50 years time because it's 'competition' and will be deemed hurting one self esteem and not good for mindfulness.

it really sucks,, i made the sad acceptance that he is past his prime now

This didn't age well

He's done his greatest lap, thought we shouldn't feel bad as he's part of history with his incredible world record.

Hahahaha....

What do you have to say now?

Yes, thank you! People don’t realize how incredible 43.03 actually is. It’s a monster record.

We just need a new hero. Who knows , he may have already been born.

It could also be because WVN broke two decades old WR with an incredible margin too

The doping Boy?

Bolt records are 2009

@@angeloarisi2979 he did it first in 2008 and then did it again in 2009

I wasn’t clear in my post, the list was my personal highlights from past Olympics.

Seb Coe defending his 1500 m title in 1984 when he had had 3 years of illness and injury and he destroyed Steve Cram in the final straight. And Daley Thompson gold in 1984 decathlon. Unbeatable.

Ya but the guy only beat MJ’s record by 16-hundredths of a second.

Has he failed an actual drugs test?

​@I Identify As A Fried Egg Jellyfish no

Jealousy makes you nasty

Ok

They still do when you bare in mind he was running those times 25 years ago.

@@aaronb2779 yes, MJ’s 200 time still the fourth-fastest ever. 400 time second-fastest ever.

If Johnson was chasing bolts record he probably would’ve beaten bolt.

@@TheJohnCooperShow I doubt it. They both would've pushed one another equally and Bolt likely had another 1 or 2 tenths in him, given his 100m times and how he concentrated on that one.

19.32 and 43.18 are still insanely fast times

We’re so lucky to have Michael Johnson commentating, on the BBC, for the World Athletics Championships 2023. He’s so wise when it comes to both the technical side of the track, sprint, events as well as showing how each athlete is an individual that needs to be treated as such. He must be an amazing coach. 😊

He is also so generous when his own world records are being broken - as here, and when Bolt broke his 200m record. @@paulgerardhosty9909

Yes, Michael oozes class. You know how they rate boxers when they say ‘pound for pound he’s the best boxer in the world’?! Well, ‘pound for pound’, Michael has to be one of my all-time favourite athletes, as much as what he has contributed off the track as on it. With reference to Wayde, I’m so gutted that he got hurt like that, tearing his ACL, as he probably (we’ll never know) would have bettered his World Record by another 1/10 of a second, and dipped below 43. You know, it’s like as if Usain Bolt never got to beat his first World Record in the 100 m due to a serious injury. I know he played football for charity but you hope that other athletes would find safer ways to give back rather than endangering themselves in that fashion. I’m so gutted for him. But, then again, no one can ever take away that incredible moment in 2016, and the Olympic gold medal, from Wayde. I never tire of watching it and I always get emotional as he crosses the line. And, as he should, he gives glory to God for the gift he’s been given.

Smooth and relaxed usually equals running fast, still crazy how they aren’t dying after

@@rileyoakley7196 yes and they dont look elated either which slightly shocks me

Wayde was dead after this race lol. Rightfully so

The guys on the ground laying there are doing that more for emotional reasons than physical ones. The race lasted under 45 seconds. These guys are in ridiculous shape. Way more shape than going all out for less than a minute.

PEDs!

HEE HEE!

No Michael Jordan
