Donovan Bailey 100m W.R Gold Atlanta

Donovan Bailey shows amazing top end speed to take the Gold in a new world record of 9.84sec!

[@anilpandey6923]

Donovon bailey's last 40 meters was legendary.

[@hodell82]

No doubt. Boldon had Bailey by at least 2 meters about halfway through. I remember watching this race live and thinking that Boldon was going to win, and seemingly out of nowhere comes Bailey.

[@phathomie27]

Had to re-watch to see how he did that

[@humbly-soalejandro6898]

31 years old, my first memory of tv is watching this live, such a moment, amazing.

[@fredos4323]

I'm 32, exact same feeling lol

[@fredos4323]

This race was so inspiring for me, I was 7 at the time and one of the fastest kids my age. Remember my 100 meter and 4x100 relay races that year like it happened yesterday, now DeGrasse is a gold medalist....Love it!

[@wailee3939]

Baileys top speed was phenomenal. He is so poor of the blocks, if he was a good starter he would of ran the low 9.70's

[@rodneywashington2017]

Really glad the false start stuff was corrected because this race was horrible starting, but definitely finished outstanding. Bailey was incredible!!

[@haroldmtshingila9040]

That finishing was out of this world🔥🔥🔥

[@jaygee1979]

2 legendary calls from Bruce McAvaney in the 100m and 200m. Calling Donovan Bailey breaking a W.R and also another amazing call calling Michael Johnson's 200m W.R also a few days after.

[@doriankeating1963]

Great call Bruce! Go Donovan bailey the fastest top speed runner on Earth that's clean! 44kph that's 2kph quicker than my scooter ! Damn that's fast .

[@steveturner609]

Bailey was still accelerating over the final stretch of the race, reminiscent of the great Carl Lewis……amazing run by Donovan Bailey there!!

[@vitorgohsev4938]

I had Donavan Bailey protein powder back in the day

[@FutureStyles]

He wasn’t. He was just slowing down more slowly in relation to his competitors.

[@desmondyung]

This is literally running in the 90s

[@muzictherpy]

what he was doing on the start.. would gonna be much faster and better record for sure..

[@wichitazen]

Horrible start, stunning end speed...

[@awfan221]

Kind of like De Grasse

[@shak3166]

Thats the best last 40 meters you will ever see. Donovan bailey simply bad@$$

[@brentmeistergeneral6074]

You never heard of Usain Bolt?

[@qwert1forutube]

Кажется, что первые метров 20 он не знал бежать ему или нет.

[@martysmith9184]

Wonder what time Christie would have run if he wasn't disqualified?

[@brunothebruisera.k.aleftho2971]

That would have been good he has high top end speed at the last 50 didn't get a chance to see him do it one more time

[@darrenshaw767]

marty smith I don't think would have been anywhere near the medals. He was on the decline here . He ran a seasons best 10.03 here in Atlanta. I think he would have been near Mitchell if he had run. 4th or 5th.

[@martysmith9184]

@@darrenshaw767 Still would have liked to see it though . Just for the run itself.

[@darrenshaw767]

marty smith yes me to. He always performed to his best in finals. He would have had to have been in the form of 93 though to challenge here.

[@martysmith9184]

@@darrenshaw767 we'll always have Barcelona. Christie was one of the best. Who do you think will win Tokyo next year?

[@BlueToronto]

Lol, what? Ben Johnson move over? Ben Johnson was no Canadian star by 1996.

[@marshall1556]

he looks like will smith

[@chaddysalright8493]

Commentators are horrible smh

[@JudahDaShootah]

Race starts at 3:16 if yean gat time for dat B.S. LOL

[@KLINSEYH]

2:27 usain bolt :v

[@roosrosambert6183]

Bailey, Michael Johnson, Ben Johnson and more guys would takeaway at least 3 gold from bolt in 100 and 200 if they had to compete against him.

[@padmarley]

You are not taking into account that Bolt would run faster if these names were competing

[@BlueToronto]

Don't mention Ben Johnson please. He was ordinary without the drugs.

[@thisismee3642]

@@BlueToronto so was bolt in the 2017 world championship. 9.58 couldn't beat a 9.90. Everybody say bolt train for big show but strict dope testing 10 flat struggling. A natural 9.58 should never have any trouble with 9.90 runner. Like tyson gay 9.80+/- all day everyday. Positive ped test and je struggling like bolt 10 flat. Like Ben after positive test. Then tumble flip in the relay.

[@BlueToronto]

@Rob Rochon Well he DID win the gold.

[@BlueToronto]

@Rob Rochon Noooo, really????

[@mattstyles1244]

Fredericks and Bolden shouldve beaten him.

[@footballvidshd5421]

That aint no world record 😂😂

[@garfieldwhunter]

This was the most annoying race ever.
