@@polarpeely7 It's kinda sad for most sprinters (maybe Bolt as an outlier) because they seem to be at their peak for maybe 2 years and its usually between the ages of 21 and 26, so they have to time their training regime to peak at that exact moment for the Olympics.
He also slowed down at the end. I hate when they slow down for whatever reason. It has an underlying smell of boastfulness. Teboho did the same in the 200m in the olympics. And he does it often

@@Das644 did we watch the same race? Never have I ever seen someone say Blake slowed down deliberately in his 19.26 run. He absolutely blasted through the finish line with the speed I've never seen before or since.
But is t that against the advice he got from Usain to even get that close to the record. I recall a press conference with Blake saying Usain told him to conserve his energy for the end.

@@KKOPPONG Fair enough, I'm just saying the way he got out of the blocks really bad, like conserving energy is one thing but you look at everyone in the race and you can't help but notice how Blake got out the blocks.
@@KKOPPONG conserving energy is one thing, but his reaction time was horrible! If he had a reaction time of 0.17 (which is a normal reaction) he would've broken Bolt's record. His reaction was 0.269 in this race
@@TheFlash3237 True. If Blake would have had the same reaction time as Bolt in his 19.19 s world record, Blake would have clocked 19,124 s world record. It's truly astonishing!
But isn’t that against the advice he got from Usain to even get that close to the record. I recall a press conference with Blake saying Usain told him to conserve his energy for the end and that’s what helped him run that quick.

@@KKOPPONG Having a bad start with terrible reaction time isn't sound advice. Just stating the obvious because by spamming this BS you seem to not even grasp that or you are trolling. A viable strategy is to conserve a tid bit of energy for the last 100 m by not goin all out in the first 100 m, but this doesn't mean at all to have a terrible reaction time at the start.
You know, Bolt was obviously amazing, but prime Blake was the only one who could truly challenge Bolt. His 9.69s was into a slight headwind and his 19.26s (regardless of wind) was actually the fastest 200m run ever ignoring reaction time. Blake along with Bolt definitely deserves to be in a class of his own for these incredible clockings
Blake's 19.26 is the greatest "What could have been" race ever. Horrendous reaction and still posted a ridiculously fast time. He actually could gone sub 19.17.

Still waiting for Tebogo to go sub 19:31 s and thus beating Lyles' best time and Michael Johnson's former wr, but Tebogo almost always seems to slow down at the finish.
The first clip is what’s about to happen again. This year In the first clip he had just come back from getting 3rd like he did that year and wanted the world lead back
@@Someone-hi1nt bro how someone has COVID right after the race he hands shakes tebego he knows ppl gon ask questions so he was like damn lemme see what I can cook up rn
@@Criz049 if you compared the top athletes in bolt era with the Olympics final lineup today, you can easily see the huge difference in size. Lyles, errington, Kerley, Chinese, Japanese, Italy sprinters they all have way smaller upper body than gatlin, gay, Blake, etc. And today's top lineup could hardly sub 9.8s even in the finals. whereas the bolt era they're doing 9.8s in heats in general.
According to math, he would have gotten 19.12 s with a raction time of 0.133 s or 18.99 s at the absolute best with a reaction time of 0.00 s (perfect start).
And except for 19.26 and 9.69. Blake nvr had a consistent race like Lyles did. Definitely Lyles isn’t faster than Blake’s PB/PR, but Lyle’s has been showing faster performance, 19.31 and 9.79, and has been more consistent in both 100 and 200
@@thetruesquad5059 no lol. He made it up coz he lost. He was seen in a full packed club dancing the night away a day later. Didn't seem in need of a wheelchair then. Looked very healthy. He was seen hugging and vibing.. not COVID behaviour. Didn't seem to be distressed. So he genuinely got his rear end whipped😂🤣
It’s crazy how Lyles is running as fast as he possibly could and is just FLYING down the track and then when he reaches the finish line… 19.31+ Just makes Bolt’s 19.19 look greater and more out of reach. I get the talk about how Lyles can beat Bolt’s record blah blah blah. But he’s 27 now. And he looked BAD in the Olympic 200m. He’s exiting his prime. I don’t think he could become faster. He’ll only get slower and slower from here on out.
It's unlikely Lyles will manage to beat the wr, but his 19.31 makes him the third fastest man ever over 200 m - even surpassing Michael Johnson - and he has run sub 19.57 s more times than anybody, even Usain Bolt. He already has done enough to be one of the best 200 m sprinters of all time. Certainly the third best so far although Tebogo will probably beat his 19.31 in the near future and possibly Knighton as well.
