Most non-track runners/fans underestimate how much faster track athletes are than everyone else in the world.

[@mockinghyena960]

True

[@SuperKamiGuruu]

Just like every boxing casual thinking they can fight lol

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

Most people are not aware of how good professional athletes in any major sport are until they see it in real life.

[@wisforwinner]

Fr, during that “is the average Joe closer to Noah Lyles or Lebron James?” debate, I saw someone say that “the average Joe is only 5 seconds behind Noah Lyles”, like you have got to be out of your damn mind if you think the average Joe is running 24, I would expect more like 32-37 for an “average Joe” to be completely honest

[@kassimadammahmoud9142]

​@@wisforwinnerNot to mention how much they underrate the worth of a second in the 100m and 200m. Normies can't seem to wrap their heads around how fucking long a single second is in sprinting times, let alone five seconds. Imagine scoring a penalty in an exhibition game of football (soccer for those of you who speak Freedom), and claiming you are in the same league as Messi. That's how dumb it is to say "because I can run a 200m in 24 seconds, I'm somehow comparable to Noah Lyles".

[@jambo5936]

Japanese game shows are insane bruh

[@verstappen9937]

Yeah and this is NORMAL compared to most of the stuff they do

[@BLACKSTA361]

Takeshis Castle the GOAT

[@ondrejsmejkal1525]

So, if in Gatlin's case the wind support just had not happened to be recorded, he would have been a world record holder like Flo-Jo.

[@richardgallimore5976]

Haha, not quite since it wasn't an official event with other runners, but pretty much...

[@JumpmanTF]

I heard they forgot to turn the fans on during his 9.45 👀

[@randmzer]

"what about four legged animals? Introducing Shawn Crawford" 😂

[@theviniso]

That was uncalled for lmao

[@JumpmanTF]

Sorry meant three legged!

[@ogorangeduck]

This also could have been titled "Japanese Game Shows Are Awesome"

[@AllInTheGame01]

Was just cruel luck that Bolt in most of his fastest races never had close to the legal +2m/s tailwind allowed when he ran; 9.58 (+0.9), 19.19 (-0.3), 19.30 (-0.9), 19.32 (+0.4) & 19.40 (+0.8).

[@ArnaudRioux-turcotte]

yeah

[@Faustin-ju5dx]

the only time I can recall him running fast in an illegal wind was at ostrava 2009 when he ran 9.77 with +2.1

[@o_CwNOOB_o]

9.69 (0.0), 9.76 (-0.1), 9.77 (-1.3), 19.59 (-0.9)

[@Faustin-ju5dx]

@@o_CwNOOB_o yep

[@JumpmanTF]

9 58 with 2.0 wind would have been devious

[@MatthiasG1899]

offseason is so back

[@tayloryoung9803]

nairo in green ? is that you ?

[@khumokwezimashapa2245]

Those baseball players were actually steppin. Damn. The fact that they didn't instantly get their cheeks spread the first 10m shows that they are no slouches

[@JumpmanTF]

They got some elite 30m speed from base running, and they all run like shit haha

[@stefanoviviani6064]

I LOVED this video. So much fun, thank you Jumpman!

[@paulclarke7571]

What a stellar episode Jumpman! Whit and humor on a gold metal level. Wonder if the crew got that Cheetah (pronounced cheater in Canada) ;) Cheers from Canada!

[@JumpmanTF]

Hahha good to see some people picking it up

[@paulclarke7571]

@@JumpmanTF There was actually a sports drink company in the 80s called "Cheetah" that asked Ben to do a commercial for them. He declined. I think their catch line was "You can win with a Cheetah." I actually dated a gal that went with Ben back in the day. She put me hip to the roids years before the shit went down. The rest of the world was late to the party...

[@outgrown3094]

your channel is wild lol

[@J.J.J.J.J.J.J]

11s by Ben Johnson at age 60! Impresive.

[@Bokesyck]

We need more of those run for your money shows

[@JumpmanTF]

Straight facts, employ sprinters in game shows up their income and notoriety.

[@verstappen9937]

Jump man can you do an Elaine Thompson documentary? Most underrated sprinter ever imo

[@TiloDroid]

funny video, very entertaining! have you seen kevin hart at nikes breaking 2? they were showing a clip where he was trying to hold on to some of the pacers!

[@JumpmanTF]

I had not till now hahahaha

[@jakusthekingpakus1]

I wish there was like a 'breaking 9.5' event in Bolt's prime. They could set up fans to give him 2m/s wind at high altitude in humid conditions just to see hypothetically how fast he could've run under perfect legal conditions.

[@J.J.J.J.J.J.J]

The zebra's little kick at the end was like a kick in the face 🤣

[@laronaanthonymoipopi9312]

Bruh that Zebra said "nah I'd win"😂

[@Alex-ff5jn]

this is a top tier video: super well researched and written, smooth transitions between topics, really impressive!

[@barackosama3569]

I really love the concept of this video. You really did it again jumpman! It’s different but veerryyy engaging i love it!!! It has a big replay value

[@kevin_dee_goat2016]

Its up until a sprinter competes with other people in different sports(or average joes) that you actually realize how fast they're moving. Craaazily fast.

[@SlayerOfTheDamned]

Jesse Owens would smoke today’s competition. A sports scientist (or somebody along those lines) ran (pun intended) a biometric test of Owens strides based on his time and distance he covered and then placed him in the modern era. By his calculations Owens wouldn’t be 1 second behind Bolt. He would be one STRIDE behind Bolt. Truly remarkable.

[@richardgallimore5976]

Ben Johnson ran 11.00 at age 60?! The age 60-64 age group WR is 11.70. With a regular wind I wonder if Johnson would beat that, seems like he would.

[@KX5Kat]

I remember reading Gatlin got paid about 50k USD for that Japanese game show appearance. He also raced a guy, while wearing a mask and giving him a ridiculous head start. Adam’s Powell was also on a Japanese documentary about the perfect sprinter physique and some Japanese scientists put him through some tests and studied his physique. Japan makes some really entertaining and educational stuff.

[@kgsonly]

this was an amazing video

[@DMOND-qg2cg]

This was a beautiful video

[@Alexandertygreat]

Why has this not got more play??? This is awesome. I love Japan

[@duncanharvey2209]

This is one of the greatest videos of all time 😅. I only knew of maybe four of these!

[@shalashaska5851]

Lovely episode. So good.

[@gabiangregoric2893]

Imagine hin breaking the world record and a japanese presenter saying it was judt placebo and the turbines were off all the time

[@edwinvermeulen2238]

Ishowspeed has an 4.44 Record on 40 m dash

[@quantum_beeb]

Ben Johnson’s head doesn’t move at all haha

[@qqw743]

If there are field equivalents, please do a vid on those, because as we all know field is the most important part of track and field. Who pole vaults higher, Mondo Duplantis or Reggie the Pole Vaulting Chimp? I don't know, but I'm dying to find out.

[@JumpmanTF]

I wish man, I wish.

[@lucasirvine6701]

Alright then Steve, this one will have you - I've noticed that people repeatedly leave the ground when they sprint...almost like some sort of jump is taking place. Yeah.

[@AJaguar1]

No Tebogo jog, 😂😂

[@bonokov84]

“A tweaking Hitler”…😂…it makes sense

[@BigMikeDaGr8]

that tweaking hitler clip will forever make me laugh.

[@recardobrown]

Great vid

[@sharkpower100]

Hitler was in fact, “tweaking”

[@jeremyb5551]

0:19 I think this was in 2011

[@benjaminburt4285]

Nice

[@boxertest]

I feel dirty watching this, this should come with a x-rated warning

[@stoutlager6325]

That's always the trick with man vs animal races. Unless it's a track horse or dog, the animal doesn't know it's racing and won't give a fraction the effort they're actually capable of. I saw the same kind of thing with a chimpanzee vs one of those lumberjack speed tree climbers. Chimp lost because chimp very casually climbed up and down without urgency.

[@nuagor]

Well, I flew in a plane one time, so I'm pretty sure I beat Justin Gatlin's time at some point in that journey.

[@EthanSchaner]

Japanese game shows are the best lol

[@enrikboxing]

Muy buen video sigue así

[@SoloPerICommenti]

Add the beat the freeze gimmick

[@JumpmanTF]

We need a 100m race between a random fan and the man who loses the 100m at a diamond league event, where the fan has like a 30m head start. Call it race the loser or something. Guaranteed some viral clips there.

[@JayJordan-vy9jj]

This looks like 2011 gatlin not 2016

[@MrGongallong]

You know Mate, I never liked Gatlin. There was a era that he was disrespectful to Bolt. Hard to say if I disrespect Tebogo or Gatlin more (as you know Tebogo doesn’t know what full SPRINTING is) anyways, looking forwards to coming videos and comps Mate.
