Position out of the blocks doesn't affect time. A shorter guy than Tyson would be out the blocks faster than he could (that is, the first 5 steps, and given the same reaction), but that doesn't mean he'll cover 100m faster.

[@HHung-pg3iw]

@@thecsciworker291 it does matter. That and top end speed. If he was fastest out of the block he might challenge bolt for the wr

[@thecsciworker291]

​@@HHung-pg3iw The difference between Bolt and Tyson in '09 wasn't the 1-2m you saw. It was the difference of their accumulated efforts over the distance. So if Tyson (9.71) wanted to catch Bolt (9.58), he would need to be faster over the whole distance and not just "catch up to those 2m", or "start faster". What matters is your rate of acceleration, that is how much you accelerate to the running phase, your maintenance, and how little you decelerate towards the line. A better start for Tyson here just means he gets into position sooner. Which may or not impact his overall run (since he expended more energy) which is what matters.

[@HHung-pg3iw]

@@thecsciworker291 the hundredths of a second matters. If he was faster from the blocks maybe his starting phase would have been faster. There's a difference between doing everything right and doing some things right. What saved him was his top end speed. You can offer as many scientific facts as you want but have you ever competed in a 100m race before? There's so much more than just facts. Unless you've been in a world class race with elite sprinters you can never understand how its like in the heat of a race.

[@shaunhumphreys6714]

@@SirMan48 no agree bolt was the best. especially his speed endurance, and he being taller legged required way less stride lengths to complete the one hundred metres than any top sprinter in history. basically bolt doesnt even have to turn over his legs as fast as the other sprinters, so bolt can achieve a higher top speed more easily, and definitely bolts top speed has been recorded as higher than anyone. when he broken the world record which is the current record for one hundred metres bolt was even slowing down at the end, plus bolt is notoriously bad starter. he normally doesnt lead the race until half way through which is when he nears tops speed, then he maintaining that top speed surges past the other runners in the last thirty-forty metres.

Excellent run by Gay, he really takes off when he gets his hips under him. I think the key to him getting a better start is getting his hips forward right off the block rather than having such an aggressive lean at the waist. A compromise on the lean, that puts him in a better position to reach full extension on his first few strides would probably put him right there with bolt and powell off the start.

Flamdros, Usain did run those fantastic sequence of times in the 2008 season:9.69, 9.72, 9.76 & 9.77, and although very impressive; he was injury free. I wish he hadn't showboated so much in those runs, particularly his 9.69 from Beijing as who knows what that time could have been had he run all out. Yet, I'm still more impressed with Gay's performances this season as he was running with an injury. I hope that the fantastic triumverate of Bolt, Gay & Powell will all be ready to roll in 2010.

How can they compare Gay with this guy.His 1st 200 race this yr was 19.56 into -0.8 wind, his 200m wr from 08 19.30 done in -0.3 wind,09 -0.9 wind, then suppose in a final he gets even a + 1.0 tailwind. Gay, although i he was think was rusty did 19.76 with +1.8 wind, beaten by Dix.

[@michealadams7036]

u guys do know that Tyson ran such a fast time because of the larger amount of headwind 2.0

[@inception3k480]

it was a legal headwind, so your point is irrelevant

[@michealadams7036]

+Inception3k are u disabled when did I say it wasn't legal. so ur point is irrelevant

[@inception3k480]

+micheal adams No, you're disabled... If it is legal, why mention it, period? people born without a brain, boy I tell ya.

[@skaizu]

+micheal adams facepalm

[@ghilliesuit3]

+micheal adams Tyson ran 9.71 in that race.

[@samroth4118]

Johnson 19.32 too low... It was a far greater accomplishment than Lyles 19.31. Also Bolt 2008 at Bejing deserve a better position

[@razor_ramon_]

Bolt 9.63, not 19.63

[@MJH211]

This should have been the fastest or 2nd fastest 100m time ever. His start was so awful with a decent start he runs a 9.57 or faster but than again if Bolt doesnt throw away 30m in the Olympics he prolly runs a 9.5 flat lol. I think Gays last 50m is the fastest a human has ever run on earth tho.

[@nicksmith7519]

nah 27.78 mph achieved by Bolt.

[@skaizu]

+NICK SMITH You are stupid as fuck

[@skaizu]

DarkJusticeZ You are so fucking stupid holy shit. Before you argue try to look up REAL things that HAPPENED. Bolt's fastest 10m split is 0.81 Gay's fastest is 0.80 also Ben Johnson is the fastest human ever to run 10m split. He did 0.81 with -1.5 WIND that with +2.0 would be 0.80-0.79

[@DarkJusticeZ]

DARK LORD but how is usain bolt that much faster than

[@skaizu]

DarkJusticeZ Faster in 100 meters but not the fastest human ever.

[@mellowmonsoon278]

Powell slows down significantly knowing that he can’t catch Tyson but still scores a 9.85 😂

[@ericwang6326]

Powell is always like this when somebody passes him, he just gives up and let him win, kinda annoying

[@RdonZOME]

Tyson Gays still my all time favourite sprinter.

[@robben896]

Yea Usain bolt is too arrogant i don't like him. He shoes that few milliseconds faster in everyones face. Tyson doesn't do that.

[@user-sh1we9je1y]

スタートもったいない(*´Д｀*)

[@RN-DNP]

RAS09true, Tyson hasn't embellished about anything. He underwent successful groin surgery yesterday in Philadelphia and he should be able to resume training in about 5 to 6 weeks. The injury prevented him from accelerating more aggressively in his drive phrase. Bolt is number one, for now, no question; but to truly measure the depth of his performances are predicated on how healthy Gay & Powell are as I see that they are the only ones capable of beating him. Next season, bring it on...!

[@tigerssss9710]

Exact time 9.67.95

[@razor_ramon_]

Bs

[@devincheatham166]

If Gay would've started off right he'd probably run 9.5's that start off was trash compared to what we've been accustomed to.

[@Razz958]

So fucking tired of Bolt winning all the time with no real competition. The sport will never be the same again without Tyson in the game... Really hope that Blake can stay injury free and beat Bolt in Rio

[@R364ABelieve]

Powell gets great starts but doesn't have the top speed the bolts and Gay's have.

[@champion1642]

Demonte Johnson He used to be faster, when he did his 9.72 he was practically jogging.

[@goodebening6564]

Nor does he have the mental strenght

[@Garrett1240]

Powell definitely has the top end speed of Gay. The thing is that Powell hits his top speed earlier than Gay, thus allowing Gay to zoom past him near the end.

[@TheMegapenthes]

My Gawd.. For his height, that was lightening fast!!!! Freaking phenomenal.

[@boxdrinks]

I knew Gay was on steroids when he ran this!

[@VibeinATLien]

you know? because..... exactly shut up

[@MrKarlozz]

+Red Ace (Malachi) Asafa got caught as well

[@MrKarlozz]

***** Exactly. It's naive to think the athletes are capable to take all that stress from training and performance naturally

[@MrKarlozz]

Cancer Zone lmao true

[@MrKarlozz]

+Cancer Zone We meet again bro. Its an honor

[@lonestar2024]

Imagine. Coleman 1st leg.. tyson 2nd leg. Blake 3 leg and bolt to finish it in a 4 x1 🤯

[@SONICE69]

Thats actually a VERY nice point to consider and thank you for explaining it... I was thinking about Blake, but NOW i realize that for him to go from 9.69- 9.58 would be too GREAT a leap... Good analysis dude!

[@ant-wan]

We're in 2024 and these guys were never beated ! Gatlin is 4th with 9.74. We seen Bromell, Coleman,Thompson,Omanyala at 9.7x but not again a 9.6x

[@Ras09true]

Do you know that Asafa has a pb in 200 at 19.90 done in 06.This tells me he has the potential to do really well if he trians for it,that's why I agree with his coach that he was a bit lazy,and him not running the 200 can actually be part of the reason for his failings on the big stage.if you look from 04,he's always beaten by guys that also run the 200 in wc and olympic finals,he always just seem to lose it or run out of gas.

[@jp-jc1hz]

Last 50m is like sonic boom 💥💥

[@RN-DNP]

I'm impressed with Gay's time and the manner in which he did it. Look how he blew past Asafa.! Incredible. Powell has one of the best starts in the business and had he been able to maintain his top end speed, we would be discussing him, not Tyson. However, maximum allowable wind or not, THIS WAS A 9.69.! Run at the end of the season; so give credit, it's due. What Gay does next season will determine if this race was a fluke or not. Reserve your judgements until then.

[@torrepr]

The fastest record that Powell has done when it reaches maximum speed is 0.83 seconds per 10 meters which moves at a speed of 43,373 kph This register did it in Italy (2007) 9.74. Asafa Powell is noted for its excellent acceleration and great consistency to keep full speed in the last 30 or 40 meters of the race, but he is never one to reach higher speeds over Mo Greene, Donovan Bailey, even Carl Lewis , which in some segments of the race, all of them reached the same speed (43,373 kph)

[@phastman]

@MrFootball102 it is, what's also amazing is how the top four 100m sprinters in history (Bolt, Gay, Powell, Carter) are all competing at the same time, this years world champ 100m final is gonna be the fastest yet!
