The 1896 Olympics didn’t include the best athletes in the world. There were about 240 participants from 14 nations. About two-thirds of the participants were Greek. The rest were mostly European. Some of the participants were tourists on vacation who happened to be in Athens, Greece at the time.

4:44 True, at the first Olympics athletes were slow however a high school athlete is comparable to a professional at the time (or maybe more) whereas before only amateurs were allowed to compete. It would be interesting to run with their equipment too

Shoot This is actually a really great concept for a video.

[@btdemers]

Next video, use gear from that time frame? Got any cinder tracks around? Leather spikes?

[@captainspirou]

Yes. Their performance is actually pretty impressive considering the equipment and conditions they dealt with at the time. The pole vault looks pretty weak until you consider they did it with no padding and very heavy wooden poles.

[@thundercats2004]

Don't forget that the competitors probably all just had a shot of whiskey for breakfast and smoked a hand rolled cigarette right before the final.

[@charnov3813]

Also can’t forget the types of diets people had back then!

This was an awesome video ‼️‼️

[@ggzii]

impressive 100 years back with no gear and no idea they were doing these speeds. Imagine what they could do with training

[@richardjones3365]

Given all factors, I doubt the runner in this video would break 2:08 on the 1896 olympics track. These factors include shoes, surface, turns, air quality, period training techniques and dietary knowledge. After 1896, I think there is near 0% chance you'd medal in any olympics. The main reason is they were the best in the world in their time. You are a gifted local athlete. No disrespect at all. Cool concept for a video. I was a 1:54 guy. Paul Pilgrim or Mel Sheppard would destroy us in our primes.

[@Bweyg]

I think he's just showing us how slow it is to now when we HAVE the equipment of today. For sure I would be dead last even in the slowest section of runners if I ran like they did in 1896 XD and I have a 5:26 mile time in shoes that weren't exactly great for racing so it's not slow, but those guys made that time look extremely slow especially the way they ran and what they had and whatnot. Absolutely crazy how we still struggle to beat those times with the equipment we have today.

[@daveconvoy5793]

I often thought about this. The only thing I ever won was the woman’s high jump in 1912

[@sarahfannin4881]

the winner of the middle school state meet in my state got like 2:08 for the 800

[@appa609]

A guy who runs 48 would have had zero issues running under 12 in the 100. He literally does that four times in a row.

[@jpg7616]

Kind of. He doesn’t start and stop 4x. Once at speed he maintains it. 100m starts from 0 mph every time

[@songsirikaewsai8219]

@@jpg7616 But after 200m it is endurance. If you run 400m in 12 sec, you could probably run 100m in 11.5

[@jeremybrowne9221]

This is not a fair comparison. You need to run on cinder tracks with old school shoes. These are well slower than modern tracks and shoes.

[@Shevock]

Nutrition and training. In the 19th Century pro runners were called pedestrians. They weren't in the Olympics. Everything we know about nutrition and training were invented since 1896 though. Walking to develop aerobic base. Jogging. Intervals. Fartlek. All didn't exist then.
