I don’t think you guys know how big the 100 meter in London was, because of what bolt did in Beijing and his rise to literally a god that made sprinters scared of him. Everyone was tuned in to see if bolt can perhaps break the record or even win 4 years later. The fact that he was number 1 in the world of sprinting but got beat by yohan and disqualified also add to the doubts and anticipation. The London Olympics stadium energy was loud as hell, sprinting is extremely difficult to stay consistently good at most less win, because if your nervous you won’t execute your race in good form and spirit. Powell does well in diamond leagues when no other top sprinters in the race, he seems to falter in big races, if you look at some of his race he suddenly slows down for no reason and gets beaten. He claims he had no psychological issue but something was wrong with his mental Then the semi finals had guys causally dropping 9.8s and slowing down before the line. Gatlin said lebron, Kobe and all the other basket team ran into the stadium to see the race. Which just shows how anticipated it was. Bolt became even more ridiculously popular after that feat.

Great memories. I was a volunteer at the wembley arena. There's was Brazil playing and the race was about the start. We all stopped working to watch the race. It was special.

Imagine Bolt, Gatlin, Blake and Tyson Gay on the same relay team. The world record would have been unbeatable.

I would take prime Asafa over Gatlin all due respect. It goes in order of running:- Asafa (Best reaction time) to Tyson to Blake to Bolt

Its so funny the way he describes it. "It was too late when i realized what happened. Bolt had already won gold and was taking pictures at the podium. Meanwhile me and blake are duking it out for 2nd." Lhh

I guess the rivalry between USA and Jamaica can seem so intense but i for one as a Jamaican appreciate and love athletes from both countries Justin is a freaking inspiration i can't recall anyone coming off a 4 year ban and freaking dominating the sport afterwards.. tyson gay is another one dude needed to run 9.69 which seemed impossible and did it that's just nuts. The two countries keep pushing each other to be at their absolute best and i don't see any other country really dominatibg the sport for the foreseeable future. Big up Mr Gatlin. Respect and love from Jamaica. Such a humble dude too.

For me the greatest 100m race ever was the Ben Johnson race. That was epic and even to this day, it’s still being talked about.
@frankdagostino85888 ай бұрын
Your point is valid but Ben Johnson smoked the whole field as did Flo Jo in the women's final. But in the 2012 Olympic finals, bolt came from behind in epic fashion
