At 3 Olympic Games and 4 World Championships that took place during that period, he won 6 gold medals in 100 m, 7 gold medals in 200 m, 7 gold medals in 4 x 100 m - a total of 20 gold medals, he is the owner of the current incredible world records in 100 m, 200 m and 4 x 100 m, he broke other people's and his own world records 6 times - achievements that no one has ever had and I doubt that anyone will ever have in the future.

I like the part where Michael Johnson comments about Bolt running without technique. He must be a natural talent like has never been seen before. Amazing.

[@kwameboadukissi426]

Bolt himself admitted that in the interview and attributed it to fatigue.

For all Usain Bolt exploits and world records, I have massive respect for Michael Johnson as he too is a humble and nice guy in athletics.

[@tenddeapact]

Wow! I had to come back to watch this in August 2021 after the Olympics just to remind myself what fast is. Lightening Bolt ⚡

[@futurez12]

Michael Johnson falling into the same trap almost everyone does, expecting better and better performances to come. I've lost count of the number of times I've heard people say: "they'll improve and produce much more in the future" and sooooo many times that never happened. We need to live in the here and now, appreciate great performances, and stop letting our imaginations run away with us. I'm a football (soccer) fan, and every time I hear someone say about an 18-23 year old that they "haven't reached their peak yet, imagine how good they'll be when they're 28," I wanna tear out my hair! It doesn't work like that. You're good when you're good, that's it; there's no magic age that guarantees peak performance. Everyone's body is different, some will peak at 17, others at 35.

[@MrFlex5]

MJ- The person who will break Bolt's records hasn't been born yet.. That's a crazy statement when you actually think about it. WOW

[@azynkron]

Well, that comment was really stupid.. There are millions of kids under 10 e.g. and we have no idea how they will perform when they have reached puberty. It implies that he both can read the future and keep track of every single fucking kid in the world. See how stupid that is?

The sad thing is there are probably few people that are faster than bolt but never got the chance to prove themselves.

BadTrip I will take Johnson verdict over yours anytime... A Champion understands the sport more than mere on looker like you... MJ was right, "the person that will break the record is yet to be born". And it is 10 years already!!! Open-minded MJ...

[@davidjones5333]

@@azynkron It's not really a stupid comment at all, simply an educated guess. Michael Johnson himself was the world record holder in the 200m from 1996 to 2008, it took over a decade for anybody to beat his time. To my knowledge, since 1996 only 2 people have run the distance quicker than Johnson did in Atlanta; Bolt has done it at least twice, possibly 3 or 4 times and Yohann Blake has gone sub 19:30 once, (I think he did a 19:26 run). That's how rare runs of this speed are; even the greatest athletes can only manage a few in their careers; for it to happen conditions, preparation etc have to be just right. (Unless you're Bolt who could run sub 19:40 for fun). It took 12 years for anybody to emerge who could beat Johnson's 1996 time until Bolt did so in his early 20s. Bolt's run here shattered Johnson's record and the only person to come close to that since has not been able to post a comparable time for years (and was defeated by Bolt in all major competitions). It's now been 11 years and counting since this run and nobody is currently challenging it.

[@styltsknten5212]

Ato Boldon on Bolt, "there is no way you can watch a 17 year old run 19.93 for 200 meters with that kind of ease and not know whats coming"

[@gashyrawr]

To run the run of your lifetime with an amazing time of 19.81, and to be SO FAR BEHIND.. this puts things in perspective.

[@rockhaven4435]

Bolt is the most electrifying athlete I've witnessed in my lifetime. I'm glad I got to watch so many of his races, live as they were happening, watching track & field history being made. There wont be another sprinter like him for a generation to come.

[@kiriende3691]

Americans will never dominate in sprinting again for 2 main reasons. 1) NFL and 2) NBA. If Usain Bolt were born in Texas or Florida he would be 30 pounds heavier and a wide out in the NFL. Sprinting is Jamaica's sport and Usain is a phenom.

[@ebonyscythe4925]

Quit smoking that crack. Granted Usain is a bad boy, but what make Bolt deadly is because he's "Tall" (6'5") & fast". If Blake was anywhere near 6'2" maybe 6'3", I bet we would be talking about him instead. As for us Americans, we on Spring Break, got to let other people enjoy the spotlight for a change. Dont worry we'll be back. Sometime you have to fall off to fuel the fire again.

[@highflyer4]

so bolt would be 245 lbs?

[@musicfreak115]

theres so many things wrong with that you just said K Lewis

[@makT890]

Ebony Scythe Just because someone is taller does not mean that they are faster by ANY means. Yes, they may take longer strides, but they take heavier strides because their legs are much heavier and denser. Also, they suffer from a slower start, except for Usain, but even then he doesn't even get away that quickly, especially in the London 2012 Olympics at 100m. And if Blake was more muscular we would be talking about him instead, because he could just take powerful but shorter strides, basically allowing him to beat Bolt. Look at Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce for an example.

[@ebonyscythe4925]

Family do you just want to fucking argue?. I didnt say being tall makes you fast, I said what made Bolt the bad boy he is, is because he's Tall & Fast.

[@byza101]

Usain Bolt is the best there was and the best there ever will be. What a privilege it was to be alive and able to see this phenomenon. As somebody else commented here, he was the athlete of the world.

[@Nightopian1982]

For me, this is probably the most perfect sprint race I've ever seen, even more than the 100m. The bend he runs may never be seen again, it's just a dream. The fact he simply kept moving away from them was staggering, and those guys were almost all sub-20 seconds! Given he'd already smashed his own 100m record beforehand, this was even better. 200m used to be my race at college, so maybe I'm biased, but just great to watch. Just wonderful. As Steve Cram said "nineteen-point-two seconds, you've got to be kidding me!", and even then it became 19.19. Thank you for the fantastic memories, Usain Bolt.
