[@johnschmidt2687]

The fastest black sprinters are faster than the fastest white sprinters, I think there is no argument there. What falsely is concluded from this is that all white athletes are slower than all black athletes. Any sprinter that runs a very low 10 second 100m is elite fast, and there are many white sprinters who achieve times near 10 flat. To put in perspective, Chris Johnson's 4.24 at the NFL combine translates to a rather pedestrian 10.3 (not 10.03). Almost all 100m sprinters, black or white, running at the collegiate level to the international level run this fast or faster. I guess my point is if you see any sprinter run 10.10 or lower, they are scary fast. We should appreciate their athletic ability no matter their color, and when a white sprinter runs sub 10 (i.e. like LeMaitre) you are watching a very special and rare athlete, even if he isn't the fastest in the world or all time.

[@VeridicusMaximus]

Nice compilation. In fact Marian Woronin was clocked running 9.992 in 1984, but according to the rules of the IAAF the time was rounded up to 10.00. That means he was two thousands of a second too slow, which is about 2 cm (1/3 inch)

When you do all the wind conversions and look at the athlete's previous runs, its not always their shortest time that's their best performance.

(and none of them were measured as under 10) Erasmus is next with a 10.02 into 0.3 wind which is a 10.00 ish...he also ran a 10.11 into -1wind.. Tortu has 2 runs that convert to a 10.01. Matt Shirvington's 10.03 into 0.3 wind puts him at a 10.01. Koike from Japan's best run converts to a 10.01.

They just don't quite have the fast-twitch muscle fibers, dense musculature and other physical attributes to reliably break under 10 seconds or 9.9 or 9.8 and consistently be in the absolute top levels in the world.

[@ranhill62]

I myself am black, so I'll say this: in a lot of these races where the white runners featured in the video ran, there were plenty of blacks lined up also who lost.

[@Randomadventuresebike]

And as of this week in the London world championships 3 white men have won the gold metals! 400 hurdles, 800 m And the 200m sprint! Woohoo

[@EvanBalizado]

you should include asians. they're not black. su bingtian 9.99 zhang peimeng 10.00 koji ito 10.00 nobaharu asahara 10.02..etc

[@GreatValleyMuscle]

interesting note. I'll look into. it.

[@EvanBalizado]

actually dont do that. Im doing that.thanks

[@mcentepede]

Only 2 Chinese/Japanese sprinters have run under 10 seconds officially....

[@drameousmane1230]

how about the fastest human being

[@stevecrocker6904]

everyone knows that one. Sometimes it's nice to see outliers who were overshadowed by the greatest but still great athletes. It's not racist to be interested in these things

[@MrStevecro]

time to make this video again. Some of those performances were one-offs and very questionable. Woronin? upper limit of legal wind assistance, in his home country, non international meet, never another time anywhere near his 10.00. The modern Germans listed have never run fast outside Germany and have looked sluggish at international meets. Anyhow, there are newer better contenders now. The list needs to include non-black sprinters and we'll see Asians, Caucasians, Arab and indigenous Australian/Irish mixes

[@VeridicusMaximus]

Well we can run through all the black times that are wind aided, at altitude, and one offs. Do you ever complain about that?

[@bysonchi]

@@VeridicusMaximus Salty AF, LOL

[@VeridicusMaximus]

I like salt and facts! 😎

[@hellbadger84]

People of West African descent have denser bone mass, (which weighs them down more when swimming) denser & leaner muscle mass, & faster muscle twitch fibers for explosive starts & forward propulsion (also useful for jumping in basketball & the quarterback role). The odds are are genetically stacked against Caucasians. We should put down the spikes & put on the swimming goggles.

[@archiebunker4108]

And put flour on our hands for lifting weights.

[@dominiccart8967]

Alec Hallam or maybe you should stfu because some white people can run and some black people can weight lift

[@nachonachos2185]

Rhys ultimagod no you guys don't so stop trying to make up stuff to make you feel better

[@MrStevecro]

@Gabe K: you didn't elaborate on why his comments were wrong - your "thinking" was no more than a knee-jerk reaction

[@dominiccart8967]

dream the Queen we do it is the truth

[@2016-m1h]

Damn. Black guys ain’t got nothin on us whites when it comes to track and field.

[@KMTV-un8xr]

😅 U man boy

[@lulugoozzz6350]

I can't believe only one guy ran in 10s?

[@aroddo2953]

Next "The top 10 fastest Black men of all time", also just known as "The fastest men of all time".

[@glywnniswells9480]

Very weird fastest white woman have about 15 who broke 11 sec far more have been competitive at all while men only 1 so far under equivalent 10 sec barrier for men....white females relatively speaking are better

[@MrStevecro]

exclude black athletes of sub-saharan, west coast origin, and the list of fastest "others" (as distinct from the term "white") would leave Mr Borzov down at number 20 with his 10.07 (although he's undoubtedly a greater performer).

[@martinkeller7645]

1 missings ;)

[@nicopsico]

Que asco de música de fondo!!!! Es mejor ambiente natural!!!!

[@Brumstarz]

Alex Karras did a sub 10 sec.

[@stoneyj1a1]

maybe on Webster

[@hyzercreek]

This video is like horse racing saying who was the fastest draft horses of all time, or dog races saying who was the fastest poodle of all time

[@charging7]

Cool video horrible music

[@laurettacodrington2527]

What do you think about a professional track and field league in the USA? Would you watch? Would you buy subscription to the channel? Would you go to the games?

[@CaneFu]

A pro track league has already been tried in the USA back in the 1970s and failed miserably. And FYI, the track stars of today ARE professionals already, earning millions of dollars every year on their own. Why in the world would they want to join some pro league that would no doubt try to control them? There would be no benefit for the current top athletes to give up their independence..

[@douglane4983]

One sub 10 sec 100M. One. And virtually ALL of them jacked up on 'roids. The following sprinters are all of African descent, of course. Top Ten Fastest 100 Meter Sprinters in History Sprinters - Men’s 100 Metres (World Record: 9.58) by Usain Bolt at the ’09 World Championships) 1. Usain Bolt (Jamaica) - Fastest Time: 9.58 seconds The 100m Olympic record (9.69) was set by Bolt at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. 2. Tyson Gay (United States) - Fastest Time: 9.69 seconds During the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials, Gay also ran a wind-aided 9.68 (once the fastest 100 m under any condition). 3. Asafa Powell (Jamaica) - Fastest Time: 9.72 seconds Asafa Powell ran his fastest time, once the world record, during heats at the 2007 IAAF Rieti Grand Prix. 4. Maurice Greene (United States) - Fastest Time: 9.79 seconds By the widest margin since electronic timing, Greene ran this since passed world record time in 1999. 5. Donovan Bailey (Canada) - Fastest Time: 9.84 seconds Bailey returned Canada to glory with his 9.84 record-breaking run at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. 6. Bruny Surin (Canada) - Fastest Time: 9.84 seconds Surin’s second place finish of 9.84 at the 1999 World Championships was the fastest silver medal time ever. 7. Leroy Burrell (United States) - Fastest Time: 9.85 seconds Burrell had twice set the world record in the 100 metres with a 9.90 in 1991 and a 9.85 in 1994. 8. Justin Gatlin (United States) - Fastest Time: 9.85 seconds Gatlin’s fastest time was set at the 2004 Olympics with a gold metal winning 9.85 second run. 9. Olusoji Fasuba (Nigeria) - Fastest Time: 9.85 seconds Fasuba holds the African 100 metre sprinting mark with a 9.85 at the Doha Grand Prix in 2006. 10. Carl Lewis (United States) - Fastest Time: 9.86 seconds Track and Field star Carl Lewis has won nine Olympic gold medals and eight World Championship gold medals.

[@tomasescalante2987]

All due respect, but virtually all of the African descent sprinters were jacked on roids as well. Some were caught, some will never be, but let's not be naive here....

[@fender1000100]

@@tomasescalante2987 Exactly they all take something. Blacks have more fast muscle twitch fibres. Which gives them a genetic advantage to run faster and be faster in general. Just like Whites have a genetic advantage for swimming with longer upper bodies and lighter bones.

[@fender1000100]

@Doug Lane Alright dont get insecure. We know blacks are the best at sprinting. They have a genetic advantage with more faster muscle twitch fibres. Just like whites are better swimmers with longer upper bodies and lighter bones.

[@MCwalk02]

A white dude will never be fastest on earth bruh
