I'll guarantee you that Jacobs won't pose any realistic threat to Bolts record. If he can remain injury free and all goes well with his game plan, I can see him running a PB of 9.72. There's just no replacement for the long strides and power which Bolt had.

To me, I don't see anyone in our generation (legally) breaking Bolts 9.58 record. Now if Blake didn't go down hill like he did, he could've seriously challenged Bolts 19.19 200M record because we saw him run run that 19.25

Well let's see here Usain Bolt in his world record produced extremely quick acceleration (even quicker than that of Christian Coleman) and just behind the inspirational Su Bingtian. Marcell Jacobs however, is already around a meter behind Usain Bolt at the 60m mark. Usain Bolt's maximum top end speed surpasses 12.42 m/s roughly and he maintained it brilliantly in his race with an extremely special finishing speed of 3.27. For context, look at Noah Lyles who is a 19.5 sprinter with among the very best top end speeds and finishes recent time. His best finishing speed is 3.37. If Bolt and Lyles were head to head at the 60m mark in one race with their best finishes, Usain Bolt is already making up a meter ahead of Noah Lyles just over 3 seconds later past the 60m. That's only just 40m. Everyone knows how much of a difference a meter is in sprinting in the 100m. A flying 40m which is more than 3 seconds and making up a meter is an extremely huge gap. Marcell Jacobs clearly doesn't have the ability to accelerate quicker than a 2018-2019 Christian Coleman. Coleman is a focused 60m sprinter after all so this puts Jacobs already in huge trouble. If his best finish is 3.39, that's WAY too far away from Usain Bolt's finishing speed. Usain Bolt was an exception that was above and beyond at what everyone else imagined before 2008. He was able to accelerate absurdly quickly with his massive size and long strides and he's able to use them along with his excellent speed maintenance to finish the race. Do not get me wrong I know Jacobs himself is phenomenal yeah but he's going to have to be an exception and find something truly unique and spectacular. He already has phenomenal technique and form but Usain Bolt was a freak of nature who's quite literally Su Bingtian quickest start+Tyson Gay's best finish (6.29+3.31) and we might not see somebody like him anytime soon. Go see the difference between Powell, who ran a 9.85 and Bolt who of course ran 9.58 in this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqC0omRjlJh5Y6M this view tells a lot of things, trust me. Marcell Jacobs as I said is phenomenal though. He's definitely capable of running below 9.75 and perhaps 9.70 but sub 9.75 is almost a guarantee.

[@Raziel1818]

after 24 years of age you can't improve reaction times or contraction speed, unless you trained horribly bad before that, with the exception of PED use. Looking at all that stats Jacobs even on the best PED's has a cap of 9.70 ish. Record sprinting should be for taller/faster and more technical version of bolt, which lets be real we wont see for another 20 years at least. Bolt is such a genetic rarity that, no offense with Marcell, but putting him in the same league is absurd

About technology getting better you forgot to mention the seven-league shoes. I think the achievement of Jacobs (and others in sprint and prolonged sprint, see the 400hs male and female) is in the ability to exploit to the maximum, with his long jumper's running style with high knees, these shoes. I'm quite sure all the technology to monitor his steps and time of contact has this goal. So if they will be able to put stronger springs in the shoe soles Bolt's record will be in trouble. Look what Bolt thinks of these shoes (article appeared in the Italian press just after Jacobs' victory in Tokyo). I think he talked about going back to racing just to see the effect of these shoes.

I think y’all under estimating this world record ,😂😂🇯🇲 anyways good luck on trying, nothing try nothing done so good luck 👍

[@GIMFCFX]

To answer the question, Jacobs will not come close to breaking Bolt's record.

[@lizardlordlordoflizards5096]

9,58 is seriously fast! I think Jacobs could come close, but I doubt he will better it. You don't just need speed - you need the right context, i.e. top form/good weather and wind conditions/great competition/good current mental state. It is quite rare for all those things to coincide, and even if they did, I'm not sure Jacobs is quite up to the task although he may come close. That meeting in Berlin where Bolt ran his WRs was, in my opinion, a spectacle we may not witness again, a bit like Van Niekirks WR in Rio over 400m.

[@TheCountrysideChannel]

He won't get anywhere close to it

[@Truetoself3838]

9.59 is the current fastest time by Jamaican young man named Jouvan Gallespie! He ran that time a few weeks ago!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️

[@sylvainguinepain5624]

Except that there is no credible source to back that information. Just a blurry Youtbube video.

[@bismarkyeboah70]

Great work. I think your context around Bolt going from 10 sec to 9.69 a year after starting running 10ms might make Marcel’s move from 10 sec to 9.8 more suspicious though. He had done the 100ms for so long and yet had not broken the 10s barrier. What changed so quickly within a year for him ti figure out? On the other hand, Bolt had just started running the 100ms and therefore that drop could have been due to the initial learning that would increase performance much quickly. If he had run 100ms for years and then suddenly seen that performance increase, then that would be more suspicious.

[@bismarkyeboah70]

@federico cherubini I see. Thank you!

Short answer No

Long answer is also no.

[@TSEEMOD_618]

Weird to say that I was there at that meeting in 2011 in Chiari (Brescia province) where Marcell Jacobs performed.

[@integrito3323]

Brilliant! Liked and subscribed!

[@baddie78]

Usain also broke the record of being lab tested!! Usain left a curse that would take hardest work to break it!

[@ahrayahisrael494]

This is way too premature of a comparison, with his best time in the 100 meters at 9.80, when so many other sprinters hit the 9.7 mark. Had he did 9.70 or 9.60 then we could have that conversation.

[@russwellen5760]

Re Jacobs, don't underestimate his ability to improve significantly with age. It's a different time, especially considering improvements in shoes and track surfaces. I was just watching Bob Hayes win the 100 meters in the Tokyo Olympics. It was a cinder track! I ran high-school track from '66 to '68 on mostly cinder surfaces. It's almost inconceivable that we used to run on that. Just horrible.

[@tomrivas]

That’s where bolts time is 6’5 height ! His strides are crazy !

[@naturegazerfila2817]

I don’t think anyone poses a threat in to Bolt in the 100 meter besides Joseph Fanbulleh.

[@arizjones]

No, he will not break Bolts record. I would be surprised if he drops below 9.70.

[@cliffordhill2365]

He won't drop below 9.70. I'm predicting if all goes well with him, one day he'll top out at 9.72

[@arizjones]

@@cliffordhill2365 Only 5 times in history has anyone dropped below 9.70 and three of those were Bolt. The other two were Tyson Gay and Blake, and they barely did it a 9.69. So to me Jacobs getting to 9.58 is unrealistic, and this is just clickbait.

[@cliffordhill2365]

Yes, massive click-bait, but it is funny that you should mention Tyson Gay running 9.69. If you watch that Bolt 9.58 race, Gay actually ran 9.72 (a personal best). Asafa Powell joined Bolt in the celebration after that record setting time and was laughing along with Bolt. That infuriated Gay and it was no coincidence that the next time he raced against Powell, Gay ran that 9.69 while Powell was left in the dust!

[@TheoOJamaloO1]

@@cliffordhill2365He ran 9.71 not 9.72

[@redrust3]

Especially when they go on the pro circuit, young sprinters are running a crazy number of races. Abby Stein for example end of the world championship running 57 races including her college career. It did get her a $2 million shoe contract with Puma. However, not sure what running four times as many races as her typical competitors will do over the course of her budding career.

[@Jay-ef2ii]

You forget about Carl Lewis. He ran a 9.86 in Japan in 1991, and then he ran an 8.8 in 100 relay (Barcelona).

If Bolt at 25-32 years couldn't break it his own record. No one can.

You have to factor age into those time improvements. Bolt was still physically developing when we dropped that .34 off his 100m time.

so? he didn’t run any faster afterwards

9.58 is another level … I see this guy running 9.72 that’s about it

Sub 9.7? Doable Sub 9.6? Tough, but maybe just 9.58? Highly unlikely Destroy world record? Nope.

[@efxr6538]

Yep, I hear the latest PEDs are pretty good, and are undetectable by current testing methods, so who knows, but I doubt he will break any of Bolts records!

[@WorldLeader12345]

He’s not running sub 9.6 maybe not even 9.7.

[@AK-gb9rp]

lol 9.40 is not gonna happen buddy. Nice clickbait but stop dreaming, Not now or ever. breaking 9.50 is already copium for the entire field and Jacobs will be lucky to ever get in the 9.6's . besides he hasn't even got into the 9.7 range yet slow your roll. Did you expect this video to actually get positive feedback? Why do you even have a platform to speak on you sound so uneducated about sprinting, you literally said it's not impossible because technology is getting better. Yeah right a 9.80 sprinter is gonna run 9.4 because of shoes improving in quality. edit: how are you not embarrassed with yourself for making such a bad video and putting it on your channel? It's like making a video about cooking and burning your food.

[@invisibleplayscoc2423]

nice video thx

[@hitchensrazor5450]

At 1:38, Bolt said that if you want to win 3 back to back to back you need to be focussed and he is not wrong. In saying that, Steve Redgrave didn't win 3 back to back to back, he won 5 back to back to back to back to back gold medals at 5 olympics which makes Regrave a superior olympian.

[@mufunwa_za9695]

Bolt could have ran 9.4…. In that 9.69 race if he didn’t celebrate that early

[@duncanharvey2209]

Nope. Not even close. The fastest it could possibly have been is 9.62. it's very simple. The 10 metre segment splits are recorded for the race. Replace the last two 10m splits with the fastest ever recorded, which isn't actually possible over the last 20m, and it's impossible for that race to be any faster than 9.62. it just "appears" as though he slowed down more than he truly did. It was still an absurd display of speed of course.

[@TheoOJamaloO1]

yeah bro not even close lmao

[@ianjacobs2998]

For sure!!!!✅

[@Pumpxkin]

No!!!! He would've ran 9.25!!! Ok seriously shut up. It would've been 9.62 at best. Maybe if someone were to push him (Tyson Gay) with actual tied shoelaces we could've seen 9.59-9.61 but it is what it is.

[@gardenoftwitty]

Seems very pro jacobs in begening. The rate of change in 100m time for Usain and Jacobs isn't relative due to the races they were running the year before. Too be soo fast in the 100m you need the strength and insurance to be great at the 200m and 400m. This is Bolt not Jacobs. He is older and has the doping scandle. This makes me believe he will not ever be able to set a 100m wr. Bolt will come back first and he'll have to beat Bolt to do it

[@dusanbursac5012]

We should also take into an account that Ussin Bolt while achieving that record was not full tryhard but was fooling around while nearing the finish line I stead of leaning forward to be as best as he could.

[@Luisdefunes1]

It all depends. If Marcel has adquired the state of the art techniques, and if eats lots of beans before the race, then he may go under 9.50.

[@Markusableitinger1]

Of course, the record will fall. And the answer why is simple: technology, equipment, surfaces...all trimmed to new records. If they compete all under exactly the same conditions, records will hold much longer. And thats valid for pretty any sport.
