ALL 100 METRES GOLD MEDAL WINNERS IN OLYMPICS GAMES 1896-2020

The United States is, by far, the most successful nation in the history of the Men's 100 meter sprint at the Olympic Games. Since 1896, athletes from the United States have won this event 16 out of 29 times, taking home a total of 40 medals. Following the U.S., Jamaica and Great Britain have won three golds each, and eight medals overall. Jamaica's Usain Bolt is the most successful athlete in the event, with three 100m gold medals to his name. Only one medallist from this event has ever been stripped of their medal, and that was Canada's Ben Johnson in 1988, in one of the biggest doping scandals in sporting history.

Ben Johnson 9.79 1988 - stripped of gold because he got caught. Others were later caught but not stripped of their medals or fastest time. Ben had a 9.69 WR that was taken away. You can see when runners started hitting the juice in the 60’s to get sub 10, then later growth hormone to get really fast.

[@magsport37]

Ok I'll look into it. 🤗

[@PongGod]

Ben Johnson never ran 9.69, certainly not with a legal wind.

[@derekflowers3803]

Ben PR was 9.79

[@HamoodiClash]

Usain Bolt could do a better record 2008 but he slowed down in purpose to keep breaking the records. He was fun to watch

[@magsport37]

Yes, but he remains an exceptional person 🤗✌

[@geographyinaction7814]

Lewis, with his Golds and Johnson, lost in obscurity, even though they both were juiced.

[@magsport37]

[@nicholasharvey1232]

2024: Noah Lyles (USA) in 9.79x (don't know the thousandths digit). He beat Jamaica's Kishane Thompson by 0.005.

[@magsport37]

Yes 🇺🇸vs🇯🇲

[@bojandolinar1535]

In 2012 it might have been good enough for bronze only, that was a crazy race.

[@Ronsolo767]

One of Carl Lewis's gold medals was for his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

[@magsport37]

Really 😀

The record of Usain Bolt still standing at 9.63 secs. at 2012 London Olympics

[@magsport37]

[@kimsndergaard973]

[@magsport37]

[@ЮраЮра-з8у]

Ну вот стероиды придумали в 1958можно глянуть что до 1956года як виглядели и рекорд,10,4секунди а в 60е уже химичили

[@magsport37]

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

I dont think Usain at 3 times champion will be equalled soon

[@magsport37]

Yes, it remains difficult to repeat the achievement.

[@derekflowers3803]

If ever

[@StanleyTedds]

Usain bolt is faster than 9.63 he is 9.58 nobody is faster than usain bolt officially

[@magsport37]

Yes Usain Bolt 👏 🇯🇲

[@frankcramer5149]

9.63 is his winning time at the Olympics. His World Record of 9.58 is from the World Championship in Berlin in 2009

[@VickyRedford]

Its is olympic time that you donut

[@joshuasteele4498]

It slowly inches down, but it’s taking quite a while. Tracking about 1 full second faster now vs 100 years ago. Perhaps someone breaks the 9 second mark in the next 30 years…

[@magsport37]

Yes, as the years go by, the timing may decrease 🤗

[@Rayjack-m9o]

As an American I try to explain the meaning of the word domination to our Jamaican brothers and sisters do you see all the American 100metres winners there are compared to any other nation that's domination.

[@derekflowers3803]

Do you realize that the US has over 350 million people to choose from compared to 2.3 for Jamaica. What were you saying about domination again.

[@magsport37]

America has the most medals.
