On the contrary, if Bolt wasn't around would you think Blake would have tried as hard to try and beat him? Look at the last olympic, they should be excelling trying to prove to people that they are still the best but it seems as though all Jamaican Sprinters have lost all that fighting spirit after Bolt retired.

[@marcus_reese]

2KILLAVILLE - Yohan ran that 19.26 time into a + headwind. Bolt ran his 19.19 into a - headwind. If Bolt would have had that headwind at Berlin in 09, he could have ran 19.0X-18.9X as crazy as that sounds and he did that after 4 rounds of the 100m and 3 rounds of the 200m to get to the final. Wind matters in track and field and is often over looked when people are comparing times. Just a little insight. Both times are impressive nontheless.

[@NevilleG123]

2KILLAVILLE you know what's funny about that run? Blake had a slow reaction time during his start, something like .217 seconds or something. I he had reacted just .08 seconds faster, which sprinters do all the time, he would've broke bolts world record if he had just gotten a slightly faster start.

This is a Yohan Blake appreciation comment. Christ, that guy can run!

[@okoknocom]

This was incredible to see live! The stadium went nuts, so happy I got captured it on video!

[@user-bk8sk5cl2o]

6:46 I like how Usain Bolt always have some sort of celebratory gesture before finishing the race.

[@banksmonday7482]

Blake is really a good sprinter. His bend runs are powerful

[@2bsure]

1,2 and 3 sweet!!! I watch these videos almost every month. Loved 2012 Olympics.

[@FM19964]

I just can't believe it yohan blake is at full speed and bolt still got the time to put his finger on his mouth

[@pena380]

Bolt slowed down at middle of the race then blake started to catch him then bolt speeded up bit go secure victory.

[@kanthector]

If you're wondering why Bolt slowed down, he didn't want to compete with Blake as he knew for sure they both would be the 1st and 2nd. He preferred to honour a friend rather than break a record.

[@placebojesus5652]

He shoulda tried harder, either way it doesn’t effect Blake if he loses by 0.12s instead of 0.22s. I’m always annoyed by Bolt not giving his all. I suppose he thinks that when his records eventually get broken people will be able to say he didn’t even give it his all and argue he would’ve beaten the new record if that person had been around in his era.

[@pena380]

​@@placebojesus5652bolt slowed down because he knew he would not beat the record and he had back pain so going all out he could got injured. Probably 19.27 without easing on the line.

[@alp2037]

I swear Bolt has a habit of slowing down when he's close to the finish line. And when I watch the race, the other racers legs move faster than his and he still manages to beat them. LEGEND! And I wonder what he could do if he slows down after the finish line

[@lemueltimothy9131]

He's generally stronger than most athletes that's why he doesn't put the effort; only when it counts...especially in the 100m

[@mightyconquers]

True....every Jamaican athletes have that habit of slowing down at the finish line.

[@MrPrinceW1]

the year he set the world records in 2009. He didn't slow down, And also started fast in both races(fastest starter in 200m) After that, I'm sure he never felt the need to do so again.

[@pena380]

​@@MrPrinceW1In this race bolt had back pain so he didn't need to risk it. But his own words though he didn't think he would beat the record going all out maybe he would ran 19.25s.

[@kennethfitness5381]

I'm watching this in 2018 wow I'm still impressed. Usain Bolt is the G.O.A.T 🙌⚡ He will truly be missed

[@Dr.Salem-user-vq5jc1vj7x]

What a Sprinter ! Bravo, Bravo ,Champion Usain Bolt.

[@joseluismunoz9613]

Descansa en paz leyenda Alex Quiñonez... Gracias por haber dejado en alto el nombre de nuestro país, que orgullo mas grande haber sido representado por tan humilde y talentoso deportista... Tenías mucho que dar todavía...

[@sergiomilagros6183]

2021 and the start of this race still gives me goosebumps

[@Cps1402]

It became a tradition to come back to this race every Olympic season.

[@DLICIOUS42]

Listen to the crowd after the gun goes off! Awesome!

[@garettclement6671]

Blake was in for cash baby. I love this dude!

[@MrFurley2u]

What showmanship, best ever! Love the Royal wave 👋 You rock Bolt! 🌩

[@windi1982]

BLAKE has Speed!!! No doubt! Respect.

[@jodyflamestv8099]

I can't stop watching Usain Bolt races, oh my my gosh, 123, over and over and over and over... than you so much Bolt.

[@midabst]

Bolt and Blake... PHENOMENAL athletes. Just beautiful to watch.

[@mafaka4456]

When bolt is on the Track everyone else battle for Second 😂😂😂

[@kylerrabaya5197]

I mean blake was approaching first place

[@labguinea7245]

WOW! Jamaica won all 3 😂

[@fatimahrehan4468]

DaRK StAr cause they have BOLT and BLAKE

[@Ninetail-uh7kn]

Fatimah Rehan yes that's y and don't forget the girls too😉😉

[@moe.lester3783]

Even though they dont have blake and boly they can still win though

[@cinnamonstar808]

...with a population of only 3 Mill

[@mariastewart8810]

Yep. SWEEEP!!!! LOL!!

[@testimonynewworlddisorder2914]

Exceptionally Legendary! You Can't Help But Love JAMAICA!!

[@lunch7213]

Just something to point out: Even the slowest time of 20.69 was still faster than Jesse Owen's amazing 200m run in Germany, at 20.7. Shows that olympian sprinters of this day and age are always surpassing the limits

[@razorr_o]

And track surface is better together with the shoe technology

[@alexbigander7100]

Uhhhh If he didnt slow down at the end he could have broken an Olympic Record

[@AymanB]

Alex Bigander Yes that would've been nice to get it closer to the WR... As he did with 100m.

[@alexbigander7100]

Yeah I think he should have went for the OR, Because its obvious he'll win so he should go for a record, But Im sure hes happy for getting gold.

[@arlenpeterson6176]

Alex Bigander He also scuffs his foot out of the blocks (7:33), which means he could have run the curve even faster...crazy haha

[@alexbigander7100]

Yeah well that would have made it faster too but its REALLY crazy slowing down in the Olympics, but as I said Im glad he still won

[@rvind92g]

Arlen Peterson He didn't scuff his foot out of the blocks, that's a toe-drag technique for the start.

[@dramirhussainsb986]

The way he slowed down in the end.. oh my God.. what a confident.. ! That too in olympic 200m final.. 🙌🙌

[@codyduke2382]

Roses are red Violets are blue For every American that qualified In Jamaica there was two

[@Legend-vo4dn]

Wow Jamaican a force to be reckoned with, great and very impressive performance, I'm so proud ,amazing all legends, peace and blessings, keep up the good work guys......

[@natronmeans6264]

I still Laugh at Bolt's Push Ups at the end of the Race.. 😁 He was so Fit for that Olympics cause Blake pushed him to work out so hard he he literally Puked every day..

[@maxfingal]

I love how Jamaica came in 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd

[@joekamara5858]

I can't imagine how Blake is sprinting so fast and Usain bolt is jst kind of throwing his legs sluggishly @ the very last end..he is a legend

[@cosmicwisdom999]

Seems as if Blake is going faster, but it's because his legs are shorter, his steps are quicker.....just like Shelly Ann Pyrce. Bolts strides are longer, so he takes less steps

[@latoyabent6453]

Not me in 2021 reliving this moment... Tears of joy 😭 Proud Jamaican 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@Alkiel]

4 years later and this still gives me the chills.
