This Is Actually Embarrassing

[@louisvanderberg7756]

There's a bigger gap (0.11 seconds) between Bolt's 100m world record and the second fastest 100m of all time, than the gap (0.1 seconds) between second and 12th fastest of all time

[@logann_]

crazy

[@lastgiddon]

That's incorrect. Bolt has 9.58, 9.63 & 9.69. Therefore the 2nd fastest 100m of all time is 9.63 which is the OR.

It's interesting. I've met Fred Kerley. I volunteered at the 2023 Budapest World Championships, and there was a major mix-up regarding entrance to the training track. He appeared at the volunteer's entrance - alongside a lot of other athletes, the information was given so badly - with his manager. He was quiet, humble, kind even. It was his manager that was an arse. So I was so taken aback at that post. In person, even when he was so clearly wronged, he proved to be respectful and down to earth. Honestly, this is wild to me.

[@Sprint_Addict]

I trained over 3 years in the same training camp as Fred at altis in Phoenix Arizona. At this time he was running the 400m. I often talked to Fred , he is exactly how you said , such a friendly cool humble guy who loves to compete .He is an absolute monster as an athlete ,hey can train so hard without breaking down. Crazy dude. I am a big fan of him also because of his great personality !

Looking back at that meet, Kerley was burning bridges. A meet sponsored by ASICS and Kerley headlining and being ASICS top sprinter, yet he shows up in Pumas and completely dropped the ball. I don't blame ASICS for cutting him the very next day. Which honestly was a blessing in disguise for him as he started running better as soon as he stopped wearing ASICS lol

As soon as Fred dials in the aerodynamics of his goatee, he’ll smash all the records. That thing is like the nose cone of a fighter jet, slicing though the air 😂 Seriously though, he’s a hugely gifted athlete, so if he works hard and has a perfect race on a perfect day… probably still not going to break 9.7. But I’ll be happy to eat my words if he pulls it off. Everyone wants to witness superhuman feats of physical action, so I’m rooting for him either way. To answer the original question, I’d’ve said Bolt and Kiptum, and Shelly Ann Fraiser-Price and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Still so gutted about Kiptum. What a tragic loss. He was just getting started; we’ll never know what he would’ve been capable of.

Just wished Kelvin Kiptum was still alive. He may be the only man with any reasonable chance of challenging yomif kejelcha who broke the half marathon WR in the rain. Kipchoge is likely too old. Still don't believe he would be an overall better runner but may be able to present a challenge on his best day since he would need to improve his world record by a couple of minutes to win given ideal running conditions. At least he may be able to motivate him to be the first sub 1:59 marathon runner.

Yes. In the early days of global competitions when people were still innovating, people could get a big world record but it would not last long. Now that the improvements get slower, a good world record could last a lot longer on a smaller margin. Bolt's record has both, margin and longevity.

I thought he was referring to a planned training session where he would have a car with a trailer in front of him to reduce the air resistance, like Lamont Jacobs does in some of his trainings. Obviously that can make for faster times and I wouldn't be surprised if he managed a 9.57 under those conditions, but you're not gonna have that on race day. And as of right now, I don't think he's anywhere close to officially breaking Bolt's WR. Maybe he can do a 9.72 next year with good execution if he's in good shape, and I expect him to be a threat at the world championships, but the World Record is going to stand for many more years.

I think Kerly is having that 'Lyles' moment. Remember when Lyles said he would get 19.10 in the 200. It' the moment when Testosterone boots all logic out the door. We all know the truth. 9.57? Ok.... Do a 9.7 first. (Massive respect to Yohan Blake and Tyson Gay) 19.1? Ok.... Go under 19.3 first (Once again..... Blake..... That 2nd 100 while doing 19.26 was magic!) Remember, both are well past that age when Bolt (23) pulled off that remarkable double. Granted, Michael Johnson was 29! when he pulled off that remarkable 19.32. But Michael is special. His stamina was arguably unsurpassed, even by the Great Bolt!

[@darrylb5247]

Maybe someone put him up to it. There is always hype and Noah Lyles did more of this than Kerley ever did. To break Bolts records you need a near clone that is as tall or close with a slightly faster stride rate while having a comparable stride length, and probably 200 lb or less (to make that possible) and with a quicker reaction time. So 9.55 from the NEXT BOLT!
