Greatest Sprint Finish Of All Time (Speed Breakdown) 

Kandie I think. That one shocked me! Shifted gears quick! Kejelcha looked like his life was on the line trying to cover the move.

Gosh, all those names brought up so many memories! Great era for sure.

@cvn6555 ALL the athletes that you named before him were much greater than your so-called “Great” Steve Scott 😂

Suck a root. Scott was just as good as all of them. They were all the elite milers of their time and any one of them could have won any given race.

@@cvn6555 sad goldfish bowl you’re in ….Steve Scott!!! Ovett and Coe …Olympic Champs, European Champs, World Cups and multiple (15) world records between them, Aouita World Champ, Olympic Champ, multiple world records in 1500 and 5000, Steve Cram World Champ, multiple world record holder, Olympic silver medal, Eammon Cochlan World 5000 champ and dominant indoor miler…..Steve Scott….one silver medal in the 83 World Champs and no I repeat NO world records….Even if he had been eligible for the Europeans or Commonwealths he would have lost because he would have been against Ovett, Coe or Cram….Learn your history and get out of that pathetic U-S-A! U-S-A! Goldfish bowl. Over here in Europe you have to win something before you get called great!…p.s. don’t lash out with insults, it shows no class.

Yes I was just thinking that

Red blood cells

YIFTER was awesome🏆 Tiny man too

How about that Henry Marsh, the US steeplechaser? Went from last to first in half a lap.

I was too late for Coe but I agree on Morceli!

Even more impressive was he did it with one shoe and it was uphill both ways.

Into a headwind the whole way

@@mikewziontek3885 26 hours a day, his other foot was starting a business

Lesser shoes and track surface technology back then, too.

Реальный результат Коу 141.8, поскольку не было фотофиниша, но его результат 141.72, почему то округлили до одной сотой, а по правилам должны были до одной десятой. Таким образом, реальный мировой рекорд с 1984 года принадлежал бразильцу Кружу 141.77

​@@user-wy8sj3ed3fwhy should it get rounded to a tenth when they knew the hundredth?

@@threatened2024 ikr, and that was without the Adeenaline rush of a major final

Exactly dude! Holding off Yomeff jajelka was the most insane run I ever saw from jacob.

We know what Coe did at 400m. He ran 46.87 when finishing 3rd in the AAA 400m final in 1979. And he ran a 45.6 relay leg.

That first turn split is way too fast. Something must have gone wrong with the timing because for most of the field that split was the fastest of their entire race by a huge margin. It says Niels Laros ran 11.6 which is nonsense haha.

I'd be very surprised if he wasn't doping

@@tychmcswain8643 Coe, Ovett, Cram were tested more frequently than any athletes in the western world. It was often documented at the time. There was little anybody could do about the National Doping Programs behind the iron curtain at the time however. In athletics during the late 70s and 80s things revolved around the European circuit, but behind the iron curtain they were able to taper off in the run up to pre-selected big meetings without being checked at random. This is why there are some women’s records that are still unattainable I.E. 400, 800. In the late 80s doping got more sophisticated in the west with masking agents and we started to see Ben Johnson’s bizarre muscle development and weird yellow eyes, fortunately he was caught. We also started to notice FloJo’s increased muscle mass, deeper voice and fuzzy top lip, her 100 and 200 records still stand. But Ovett, Coe and Cram suffered with illness and injury due to the fact that they trained harder and their bodies would break down. Dopers rarely get injured, the drugs they take enable them to train harder without breaking down. My final point about Ovett, Coe, Cram is an aesthetic one…if you looked closely at their running cadence, they were so much smoother than their opponents: Ovett looked like he was floating effortlessly and when he kicked, he just glided away from the rest, Coe had a beautiful balletic stride with extended back lift and he could kick with blinding, blistering pace, Cram was different, he had massive stride length like an antelope and he would wind it up from further out. In conclusion these three extraordinary athletes just had tremendous work ethics and much more talent than their contemporaries….watch the films back, they’re all over RU-vid.

А это, на деле, и был мировой рекорд, так как рекорд Коу был установлен без фотофиниша и по правилам должен быть округлен до 141.8

The world record splits are 10.7, 9.8, 10.5, 12.0

He took it out like a rocket and pushed hard to the end. That’s what caused him to slow down at the end When I mean slowed down I don’t mean that’s slow in general lol, just compared to his other splits.

Nope. Sorry. 12 seconds was the split. 31 for first 300.

@@naturalbrohemian3502 31? What was the first 100M? To have a 31 split, you would have to have 2x 10 second 100M and one 11 second 100M, did he slow down for the last 100M because this video made it sound like he didn't slow down for the last 100M

My thoughts exactly

I agree that saying Coe had the best kick just because his was the fastest in the final stretch doesn’t consider the other types of kicks, but saying that the kicks longer distance runners have done are more impressive is just as bad. First of all if you are going near or at your maximum potential effort for the given distance, it will be harder to increase speed for the kick the shorter the distance gets (down to around 200-300m). Many of the kicks in this video including Coes was done while not going full effort before, so unless you have a way to compare the amount of effort beforehand to maximal potential effort, and you do this for different athletes, there is no way to compare how impressive the kicks in the video are in the first place

@@ccbgaming6994 True, but the thing is, I’m right, so like you can’t even argue.

@redravenrages6321 I just did

In fairness, it turned out he was legitimately sick at worlds. Doctors at the event reported he had a fever and swollen throat. Still had it for the 5000m too. Norwegians seem to be a very direct and honest bunch. So it's not totally surprising that he was telling the truth about being sick.

@jamie.lennon1 If you're sick, why run? Don't answer. I know why, so you have an excuse when you get owned, right?
