Indeed but he was close in 2 other separate ocasions. In Beijing 08 had he not showboated and he would have got a time of 9.62 s or around that, which is close to 9.58 s. In 2012 London, Bolt did not have the greatest start (6.35 s in the first 60 m, as opposed to 6.32 s in Beijing and 6.31 s in Berlin), but still got close to his WR at 9.63 s. If he had a start similar to what he had in Berlin he would have clocked 9.59 s. But what you said is true, nonetheless.
Bolt ran faster the year before. The only difference was he started celebrating 25 meters before he crossed the finish line. Which would have been a 9.3
Running 9.80 early in career and wining the gold in Olympic Games then winning all of indoor races in 60 meters and becoming a world champion with a runn of 6.41 in 60 m is very rare in sprinting and that dosent make him as “ everybody “ that makes him a special Sprinter !
@@okidoki2479 he's def a talented sprinter, what I'm saying is, it's way too early to talk world record. When Christian Coleman came on the scene, they started talking world record, he hasn't even gotten close to the American record yet.
With a wind shield 🛡 he can run 9.4 a speed bolt could only dream of well if bolt was running 9.5 without a wind shield 🛡 then I’m sure bolt would probably run 8.6 with one lol 😆
@@everythingtv2325 No need to exaggerate. It would translate to 9.2 or 9.1 for Bolt when he was in his 2009 form. 2016 Bolt (who was dealing with injuries to be fair) was a 9.8 sprinter and Jacobs won the 2020 Olympics with a faster time of 9.80 to Bolt's 2016 winning time of 9.81. Bolt only ran those crazy fast times from 2008-2012. He got slower in his late 20's. Guys like Kim Collins were running PBs at age 40. Kim wasn't eating McDonald's chicken nuggets before races like Bolt lol Nope he was blending fresh Scotch Bonnet peppers and pouring that on his rice and beans and meat when he was at home. I'd rather be pretty fast for a while than super fast for only a few years. 30 years old is not old by any means which was when Bolt got his Bronze medal in the World Championships behind Gatlin and Coleman. I'm personally on my way to running faster in my 30's than I ever did in my 20's or high school years (And I was pretty fast). I can't do that eating fast food and messing around. Bolt is literally only 2 years older than me but he's been out of comp for 5 years. I'm going into my first track meet this year and I'd like to compete into my 40s or later Yah willing. Anyway have a great day.
He’s not breaking that 9.58.. whatever technology they’re using, must not be accurate.. I can see a 9.7 out of him. Possibly high 9.6.. A 9.5 is insanely hard to reach..
@@giallo_fiamma6667 yes I get all that.. But when they calculated that 9.4, it was behind a shield with 0 wind resistance .. with any type of wind resistance would slow you down.. Imagine if Usain Bolt ran behind a shield with 0 wind or air resistance. He would run 9.2.. Usain Bolt was another breed.. I’m not saying he can’t run 9.5 but if it was possible, someone would of done it by not, it’s almost been 15 years.
@@johnjay6370 we all knew neikerk was able to get close to it or break it cause he was already a flat out stud jogging 43s.. Jogging 43s is another bolt like level..
I think Marcell Jacobs can run around 9.7 something seconds this outdoor season. He is still someway off the 9.58 seconds of Usain Bolt. Until Marcell Jacobs runs a sub 9.7 seconds it's not even worth thinking about breaking the 100 metres world record of Usain Bolt.
Yep currently the tied 2nd fastest times after Bolts WR are by Gay & Blake at 9.69 which means Jacobs should run 9.68 to put him as a solo 2nd place if he wants to be in the conversation of being a world record breaker.
@@KG-we6by Where in the rules does it say you can't drive an aerodynamic tunnel truck in front of you during a race? Big brain Jacobs is going to crush all the records!
True. What they are trying to imply is a brainwashed athlete will get there at some point. Soon there will be sex Ed technology calculating exactly how many thrusts are required to achieve ultimate orgasm.
9.4 is CRAZY but I think he can definitely reach low 9.7s or even high 9.6s, he's the most complete sprinter in the world rn, from his start and top end speed to his picture perfect technique and power, I don't see anyone beating him outside.
It's possible. But he's 27.5 years old now. If he is going to do it it will need to be within a couple of years as he will soon be fighting the age barrier as well.
@@danielh3179 Speaking about Kim Collins? Gatlin? Blake? Powell? Chambers? Su? Linford Christie? The son of the wind? Bruh, until 35 you can literally do whatever you want if you really want it and keep working on it with all the energy you have!
@@yannickcolot2319 “Too old” 😂😂🥱 He didn’t run as fast as now (27 yo), and he is still improoving every single day, since his golden years cannot last a couple of years, he will break 9.70 for sure
Anything is possible. Did you see the unbelievable Women's WRecord set in the triple jump at the World Indoors in Belgrade a couple of days ago! That was some new World Record!
@@kathleencook3060 bolts record is very different tho, before he set wrs were being broken like every other year in the 100m, the record he broke in 200m had been standing since the 90s
Like I said, anything is possible! Some records do stand longer than others, but it is difficult to predict which ones. You need to pick the right race, at the right time. You also need to be very lucky you are not competing against drug cheats or any other kind of cheating.
The training machine is not intended to prove he can reach a performance, since the air resistance is a part of the game, of course. Instead it is used to shape his running technique on the essential movements to reach the top performance.
What I don't understand is. Is having least air resistance different from having some air assistance in training? I thought having like +1.0m/s wind in training can give u better times and waste less energy also? What's so different in his car training??
@Solitaire it's highly different running on a treadmill and on track: the ground itself, the grip with spiked shoes, the general feeling... You can't train without practicing a lot on track, in the 100 it's a matter of milliseconds, everything single thing count. It's like preparing for swimming in the ocean by swimming in the pool. You can do that for part of your training, but you have to know how is to swim against currents and waves, etc. Btw, for what I know they don't always use the wind shielded car, they use it only sometimes.
@@willbrewster976 That’s what I’m saying, they’re acting like Jacob’s is faster bolt. He probably ran the time Bolt would’ve run if he hadn’t celebrated.
I’m expecting 9.69 season’s best from LMJ…He has the best technique we’ve seen so far…Let’s see that first and then we’ll rediscuss if getting to 9.5x is possible for him.
@Younes His technique is not the best for sprinting. He runs with lower center of gravity more so like a jumper due to his lower body strength. Although this also make him more efficient but he is spending too much time on the ground and this may catch up with him sooner or later.
9.69 is a stretch and a bit too high of an expectation even for an amazingly technical sprint king like himself, his goal should be around mid/low 9.7 then if he gets that then maybe 9.69 after.
@@anthonybailey3511 His time on the ground is calculated in his training as well. As you can see when he gets into his running he's floating and not spending a lot of time on the ground due to his posture and foot placement on the ground. He doesn't even run like he did as a long jumper anymore. Watch his 8.07m long jump. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wEM-RTypbh8.html His form is completely different now.
It’s amazing what you can spin with hypotheses and statistics. Jacobs is the current 100 m Olympic champion and the best right now. But there are two chances of Jacobs or anyone else setting 9.4 seconds for the 100 m - little and none.
HAHAHAHA!! 9.4 with a freaking windscreen. There's also a video of Justin Gatlin running with a giant 20 m/s fan blowing on him. My goodness! The lengths people go to try to run "faster" than Usain Bolt. Imagine if Bolt was allowed to do that. He might run a 9.0 flat.
@@JT-km6th Precisely. Someone shorter with a quicker turnover, more efficient technique, as well as a solid stride length can break his record. There are shorter guys who have uniquely longer strides as well.
Thats why Kipchoges sub 2 was such a stupid idea. He was shielded by an army of runners from wind right to the end. I was more Impressed by other runners closely missing it in competition.
no, it's to let him run unimpeded to get every bit of technique correct and imbedded in muscle memory. His relaxation and power will take over when he races
Sure, I understand that and I think it's an effective addition to his training. I'm just saying just because he can do 9.4 without wind resistance doesn't mean he's going to break Usain Bolt's world record any time soon (if ever). Just because your car can theoretically do 50mpg (on paper), doesn't mean you're gonna get that in real world traffic.
@@listrahtes But the sub-2 was an experiment to see whether a magic number was even possible under ideal conditions. There is nothing particularly magical about 9.4.
It won't happen. The only way it could actually happen is if he had some stiff competition running 9.7 each race to push him. I see guys running 9.8 now to win events. Those time were what Bolt and the ones who pushed him ran during heats
Until I see him run a 9.4 at an official event, particularly when he hasn't even gotten close to 9.70 since he's yet to dip below 9.80, I'm going to call bullshit everytime. He's clearly fast. But 9.4 fast? Not a chance. Not even with a wind machine behind him.
The hype around this guy is off the charts... He ran 9.80 s flat one single time in his career and people are saying he can go 9. 65 s and fhat he can even break Usain's 9.58 s... Human beings are strange creatures, dumd as fu** sometimes...
Break Bolt record in his dreams....he's definitely gonna be hard to beat for now cause he's a very good and complete sprinter. But below 9.6 seconds...i dont think so.
The error in practice timing is too high to even consider. Plus, he'll have to drug test for a world record and I don't think he can pass. This is a guy that, until last year, had never run under 10.1 at 26 years old and now he's the best in the world? Two words, BEN JOHNSON.
@Abdul Sabit Ariff The person to break them is yet to be conceived. Flo Jo's 10.49 s record has been very frustrating for women. How man men have don under 9.7 before they even dreaam of under 9.6 sec...The 200 m record 19.19sec will still be standing in 2081
@Abdul Sabit Ariff not so simple. To break 9.58 you need another Usain Bolt. A 1.96m tall man with incredibly fast muscles and the step frequency of a 1.70m tall man. In one word: superhuman.
Once upon time it was deemed impossible to break the 10 second barrier... Then it happened. But yeah it's totally possible, it might take several years and a combination of emerging technology like like the Air Zoom Viperfly's(currently illegal), new training methods, ideal weather conditions and an athlete having his perfect run then...poof...new WR!!
He can't go faster than 9.69 as it has been shown to be the human speed limit by the likes of Yohan Blake and Tyson gay. Only Bolt could go faster as his speed was certainly super human.
I realize that these titles attract a lot of attention so you can get lots of views but please be realistic Usain Bolt is a once in a life time athlete. Just be thankful we were alive to see it. He could have run 9.4 but he chose to look all over the place and beat his chest while breaking records. We may never live to see this again.
You can make any titles or thumbnails, but you can't fool youtube algorithms. So if the video is not interesting it will not get many views. We are being realistic. Marcell Jacobs has everything as an athlete to break the record. Add to that super spikes, technology and much more elastic track surface.
Asafa Powell had the perfect shape and technique to go under Bolt record, but he didin’t have stamina and at 80m he had to slow down in speed… !!! Jacobs have a similar Powell’s body… tall enough and good shape… now he is on his way to improve his time… this year is impossible to break the Bolt record, but we will can understand if it’s possible only seeing what will be his PB at the outdoors end. Coleman for sure is too much short for the perfect run at 100 and 200…
@@TheoOJamaloO1 this video is very foolish. Usain bolt had great acceleration in his 9.58 and his top end speed is off the charts. No way Marcell is breaking 9.5
That number is wrong. The paper actually says that air resistance (which is only part of total drag which also includes ground friction etc) accounts for around 10%.
@@waterglass7075 what training dude? You don't need anything fancy to become the goat, is this shitty machine going to help him? The answer is no, just like all the fancy gym equipment is not going to help bodybuilder to be the best, most of them use only raw weights

hard to beat but not ''unreachable''. the only world records considered unbeatable are women 400m, discus (only World record where the women mark is better than the mens :D) and shot put
@@Steffen4794 I never said it was impossible, but it’s one of the most difficult WR to attain. Please read before you reply. Also, obviously the women’s WR in shot put and discus are going greater than the mens WR in terms of distance because women are throwing a discus that only weighs 1kg while the men are throwing a 2kg discuss. If the men were throwing a 1kg discus like women, their WR would have been twice the distance of the women’s WR. Common sense would have told you that before you made a silly comparison like that as if to imply that women are stronger.
@@jayr6839 according to your logic all mens wr are bigger than women, that's right, and that's exactly the point why the discus world record stands out because its the ONLY ONE of the entire world records where the womens one is bigger than the mens. I never doubted your explanation
Yeah but.....he's still going to have to overcome wind resistance during a race even with a slight tail wind......so im not sure you can accurately predict a WR breaking performance using data that was supported using no wind resistance. That's also assuming all conditions are perfect. I'm not a scientist so I could be wrong lol
Using no wind resistance in training though allows him to train at a significantly higher top speed which will work his nervous system and muscles harder than sprinting in normal conditions. Its a form of over-speed training, other athletes do it with pulley systems and bungee chords but this seems like a much better way. Training in this way can potentially improve your maximun top speed under normal conditions.
When I notice MJ the first time, I thought he would never win a championship because he looked a bit on the heavy side, almost carrying too much fat. He didn't look "conditioned" as a sprinter normally looks when at their top performance. Yet, he won the Olympic title. Science can remarkably improve your own time to reach that magical 9.0 sec or whatever the human limit is. MJ has the science and the facilities to help him reach his own speed limit. For MJ's size, you would not expect him to be a 60m champion...yet he has just become one. Bolt could never run those times over the first 60m. I think it's all about conditioning the body to get into a rhythm to relax as fast as you can. Also condition the body to take an accurate number of steps over a known distance. Don't compare to Bolt...he has a different height and stride. So his number of natural steps would be less. Who could forget the Russian "Drago" in Rocky V, I think, where he had the best of technology to provide the maximum resistance in training to reach a state of unreal upper body strength? I can already imagine seeing MJ running 9.4 sec in a tunnel, then adding small weights to his body to simulate wind resistance, while trying to maintain the 9.4 sec times. His body will then know how to maintain the speed and number of steps to run in normal conditions. Exciting.
@@sbok9481 Bolt could never run what times in the first 60? He has the 2nd fastest unofficial 60m time ever behind Su Bingtian. He ran a 6.32 in his 9.58 performance.
@@JT-km6th Please let's not grasp at straws here. We are not talking about unofficial times. Yo might as well say MJ holds the WR in the 100m with 9.4 in training. We all know Bolt has a bad start, only winning in the last 50m or so. Maybe you don't understand the concept...You want to hit our top speed as fast as possible, then relax. Bolt only hit his to speed about 60m, so he was accelerating all the way. If Bolt had a better start, he would have probably ran 9.29 himself.
Bolt grew up on his dad's farm with access to fresh ripe raw organic fruit year round, and yams. He trained with incredible recovery thanks to the simple sugars keeping his muscles topped with glycogen for explosive training consistently.
The cool thing about sports is the proof occurs during competition, not via some nerd’s math calculations. In the scientific method, experimentation rules over theory.
And Bolt slowed down when he broke his own world record. He was looking right and left, no serious form. Bolt’s record is safe. Maybe forever. He was the most perfect sprinter.
He did not slow down... I see so many people claiming he slowed down... Get your facts straight before writing bullsh**it like that. It's annoying to read lies...
Maybe he didn’t slow down. All I was saying was that at the end of the race he was so far ahead that he didn’t need to use any more fundamental running skills. If he ran the entire 100 meters the way he did the last 10 meters, he would not have broken any records. I just wrote what I saw in the video bro…you don’t have to be such a dick about it.
I did happen to crush Bolts 100 meter record just last night. All it took was some beer, my dads car, and some rope. We clocked a 4.3....sure im a little scraped up but who said it would be easy?
he is special cause hes head hardly moves up and down he looks like hes moving at a nice smooth pace but in reality hes nearing the speed of human sound.
That air resistance machine is really cool, but do we really think it's providing Jacobs a "significant training advantage" over Bolt? Hard for me to buy that
Jacobs will go 9.67 outdoors on that fast track in Eugene. And become #2 All time. He doesn't have Bolt's top end. But he's proabaly top 5 in that department. Remember that Bolt ran 6.31 en route to 9.58. Jacobs is way off that. Bolt has a top end speed of 27.78MPH Jacobs is 26.76KPH. He has no part of his race where he beats bolt. And he isn't running 19.1 in the 200m either. He's great, but Bolt is the GOAT. I'm calling it right now. 9.67 IAAF Eugene. Y'all pay me if I'm right! 🌟
Are people gonna cry when someone breaks Bolt's record? Because it IS going to happen, like it or not. I'm not saying Marcel is going to be the one, but that that one will eventually come.
he feels 100% Italian he has repeatedly reiterated this in many interviews, however, look at that in Italy there are many white boys with children with multiple women, do not consider it an American prerogative.
It all seems too easy. Breakimg the world record is hard. And I'm happy for Jacobs to do it. The only problem is that you have one chance per race to break the world record. Even then you have to do it more perfectly than Bolt did in 2009. Doing it is harder than thinking about it.
His top end speed is phenomenal I agree, but his start is equally atrocious and starting is part of the race. He’ll never be a top 100 guy, but the 200/400 perhaps.
Mate, are you high? Do you understand what it would take to run a 9.3 s?? Bolt was in supreme form in 2009 and had the perfect race in that 9.58 s' race. Go watch his race again and come back to us after that...
@@Yes_I_c4n maybe your a bit slow in the head so let me explain what I was implying. the dude in the video says Marcel can run a 9.4. now Marcel is no world record holder, nay he isn't even close to the world record, he might be in the future but right now he ain't. NOW if these people think Marcel can run a 9.4, then prime Usain WITH THE SAME TECHNOLOGY should be able to run a 9.3 hypothetically since Usain is faster then Marcel. OBVIOUSLY neither of them are running a 9.4 let alone a 9.3 thus the comment was clearly a joke/sarcastic comment, at the fact that those idiots think Marcel is running 9.4.
Noone ever in history? I find that highly unlikely given that bolt did not have perfect technique. All it takes is someone equally as gifted if not even slightly less gifted but with much better thechnique to break the record. It will 100% happen eventually.
@@obh_westobh_west9388 Hell no lol, he’ll run a low 9.7 max, you’re either overhyping Jacobs or underestimating how fast 9.58 is, Jacobs didn’t even have the fastest 100M time last year.
The world under 20 champs was won by a 19 yr old in 9.91 secs who spent the last 30 meters clowning around & looked like he could easily do 9.8. If anyone can take down Bolt's record in the next decade, I am picking that guy.
Jacobs has many possibilities but what Bolt did is something from another planet, as is the speed in these times it will really be very difficult to break those Bolt records
He's really big up top. Seems like he could stand to lose some weight and be slimmer. Might help him go faster being lighter and less wind resistance. But then again, maybe he feels he'd lose strength doing so. He's an amazing runner. Great smooth, flowing technique. His upper body barely moves as he churns down the track.
Without his innate athleticism none of this tech alone would account for what he's accomplished. However, the tech has taken him to incredible levels. At the same time, he's putting in the work and mastered how to sprint. Incredible accomplishment!
c' mon so you all think 6.41 equals 9.4. please think again, a fast 40 or 50 or 60 is not an indication of a world class speed. He can maybe run in the 9.8 at best.
In a real race the air resistance is there again, no overcoming that. However for training purposes this seems great for doing more runs with less fatigue due to air resistance.
