@@unruly7516 First of all, a headwind is disadvantageous; you mean tailwind. Second, Tyson ran his PB of 9.69 with a 2.0 tailwind in 2009. This is considered legal. He did run a 9.68 with an illegal tailwind.

The world lead last year was 9.83, and it's been 9 years since anyone ran under 9.76 - no one is even close to threatening the 9.6s let alone 9.5s

[@BugattianVeyronian]

To run sub-9.58, an athlete would need a combination of being a genetic freak, extreme hardwork and perfect condition on the race day. Many athletes only had one or two of those. Maybe there is someone who is genetically better than Bolt, working in an office or a contruction site now. Until we have someone like that training for 100m, really putting in effort in training and having perfect condition on one of his race days, then there is a chance 9.58 will be broken.

Asafa Powell was running a lot of great times (and even world records) off season, Bolt in his prime even if he didnt run a lot was jogging 9.8x and 9.9x off season Gay was running always sub 10, today no one of those athletes can do that, so it's pointless of speaking of "peak condition" bullshit. The peak condition can make up at best .1 just like having 2.0 tailwind over no wind, while these people are running 10.0x or even 10.1x which are miles away from anything acceptable.

Yeah I saw Coleman said that, definitely not true but it wouldn't be very good press if he was like "yeah no one's close, we'll be lucky to break 9.8". Mens 100m running is definitely in a bit of a slump right now, I know Michael Johnson has said in the past it's disappointing that a world championship or Olympic final can be won without breaking 9.8, but that's just how it is sometimes with events having slumps. JaMeesia Ford is putting up some great times and seeing her in Paris would be cool, but I also think being in the collegiate circle and running so many races early in the season means she won't have anything left for Paris. We always see collegiate athletes put up crazy times and then do poorly when it comes to a worlds or Olympics because they've already run like 50 races that season

[@AllInTheGame01]

Maybe i'm weird but I'm perfectly happy if today's top guys can just get back to running their 9.76 PBs against each other. I don't need sub 9.7s cos off the top of my head, with the exception of Bolt & Yohan, everyone else who's run sub 9.76 has served some sort of ban from a few months to a few yrs & really don't want to go back to those days! JaMeesia has primarily been a 200m sprinter this year, but she's also run a number of 4x4s running incredible splits that would be impressive for a Top Pro Athlete let alone a College Freshman! If she doesn't make the 200m Team (for the reasons you gave), I hope they consider taking her as part of the W4x4/Mixed 4x4 Relay Pools like they did with Abby Steiner in '22 when she only ran the 200m @WC Trials but was still picked on both 4x1 & 4x4 Teams!

Bolt was such an outlier in terms of physical ability that it'll take someone who runs low 9.7/9.6 at least twice before we can be talk about this. 6'5 with an elite first 50 is literally a once in a lifetime athlete and I really can't see anyone today who's built with "usual" proportions or who doesn't have best-ever insane power or some other once in a lifetime physical gift breaking 9.58. If you think Bolt's start is bad it's because he raced in the time of good starters and especially good starters towards the end of his career when his first 50 started to fall off, specifically Gatlin. In his prime he had an elite first 60m and would probably be a 60m world champ if he wanted to be. Bolt ran 6.31 over 60 and had 19 low top end to finish, no one is matching that any time soon

The fact that the next two fastest men in history are half a foot shorter than Bolt should tell you something. Speed is stride length x frequency and one is not more important than the other.

[@itsinthetreesitscoming7431]

@@djxcel23 So if stride length was the sole determinant he should have won by 4 strides (or at least 9-10 metres), rather than 0.11 seconds. Maybe I'm a bit dim, but that would seem to indicate that stride frequency is kinda relevant....

No one is breaking 9.58 for another 100 years.

[@Hensley_Jb]

3:05 people are allowed to show cracks.

[@sergelu]

9:58 breakable? You guys don't understand!

[@npt5982]

It's the delusion that's astounding to me. People are clearly so far removed from that Era of sprinting....craaaaazy

[@user-hc5rt9kz6r]

9.58 это то что Coleman никогда не сможет пробежать. Потому что Usain Bolt великий, а Coleman никогда не будкт великим

[@plnthn]

I will never say that it's impossible or even improbable. Now that it is possible please tell what that athlete would have to be in order to break it. 6'4" tall with huge stride length, or someone that genetically mold into that 'being' ? Bold had a genetic problem or a physiological handicap. I am wondering if he was normal would he had gotten those records ?

[@David_7171]

Only a very tall sprinter will break it. Which is unusual as most sprinters are not tall.

[@msykes19]

Theory newly formed: All the gear these althletes have been abusing that was undetectable, has now become detectable. So what we are seeing are clean athletes who can't lean on their previous drug protocols. Any thoughts out there?

[@matthewadams4097]

It wasn't just Bolt that was faster back then right? We had Powell, Gay, Gatlin, Blake + others running under 10 if I remember? Could it be due to increased PED testing now?

[@JohnDoe-mf1jy]

It won’t be broken unless u get another bolt who is tall and fast leg speed otherwise it will never be broken

[@travaligncorp421]

Bolt can break that record, he should unretire seeing he needs to rebuild his financials after getting scammed out of almost all his savings ($12million)

[@alexdawson1203]

Insane that no one can touch 9.58 when Bolt could've ran sub 9.5 if he didn't showboat. So far ahead it's absurd.

[@boofpeanuts6960]

he didnt really showboat in his 9.58 run, he ran full speed through the finish it was at the world championships not the olympics where he had his arms out beating his chest. he couldve gotten a low 9.4x if he runs straight through at beijing

[@theguywhoasked2957]

​@@boofpeanuts6960Bolt is literally inhuman I don't think his record will be broken unless his kids do it

[@teddybreeez]

Until that athlete is introduced that has colemans start with Noahs top end spend. Sub 9.6 is a ways off.

[@louiswalusimbi8006]

9.58 is totally breakable even though there have only been like 3 fucking people who’ve broken 9.70

[@sh3riff]

Drugs have gotten better!

[@seanwilson5516]

Those guys are really close to 9.58.🙄

[@aitorgallegobereziartua4798]

Olympic year bud, athletes are not gonna peak in April but in July.

[@gabrielelimonta3710]

not even on a bicycle

[@rowland5951]

If andre de grasse can stay fit pass june I'll take him seriously.

[@matheusmantovani993]

They are not running under 9.8 and want to talk about breaking Bolt record? Not gonna happen anytime soon
