TOP 50 Fastest 100m Female Sprinters in History 

With all respect for Elaine Thompson I'm more than sceptical about this kind of performance. Of course they are great athletes but I don't think they only drink water...

Totally agree, even Flo Jo’s was very questionable

@@jonathanmichealfacer The most questionable

It wasn't just questionable because of PEDs, it was a false reading. On an exceptionally windy day, she ran with a wind reading of 0.0. To make it worse a person doing the long jump at the exact same time came out with a reading way over allowed. The machine clearly wasn't working.

10.49💓💓💓 Forever

Yeah,and then she ran 21:34 😂😂😂 Don’t be a b****!

Exactly!!!!!!

Ready reactions .100 will SET

A lot of this girls are suspected of doping, Marion Jones was caught and Tanou too!

It is standard practice to use the flag applying to the nation which currently holds the area of origin.

@@michaeledwards2251 ?? German Democratic Republic is right, not Federal Republic. Also it was 1983, not 1991. Flag is wrong. Period.

With the US IOC backing you, being convicted in open court of being a drug cheat is merely a nuisance. She lost medals, nothing else.

@@michaeledwards2251 *Marion Jones was also sent to prison by the same U.S. over denying she took drugs.*

@@imo1933 It was involvement in a cheque fraud scheme which resulted in Marion Jones going to jail. Given all the athletes involved in BALCO, several thousand, Conte states he had entire baseball teams as clients, with difference with MJ was messing with US banks.

@@imo1933 MJ got involved in a multi-million $ cheque fraud scheme. Had she played the legal system correctly, she would have gotten off. She confessed on the court house steps to being dishonest, meaning cheque fraud. The judge wanted to give her 2 years, but the prosecution was willing to let her go free, they gave the judge the option of 0-6 months in a plea deal. He immediately gave her 6 months with 2 years suspended.

It is well known Flo jo wasn't even trying when she ran 10.49, and immediately stated she had run faster. She was merely pleased to have won. Watch her Olympic relays, she doesn't move until after she had received the baton : her true 100m speed is 10.16.

@@michaeledwards2251 Nah mate, respectfully that's BS!!!

@@chimbuchiorumba4885 Watch the relay videos : Flo Jo doesn't move until after the baton is in her hand.

You realise Flos second fastest time was 10.54? If you wanna write off the 10.49 then 10.54 is her fastest time

​@@jetsofaqua2206no 10.54 was not legal either, due to wind, this is why it wasnt OR

Right. She's so fast, I didn't notice that. 😀

And aided in other ways. Pretty dope record though.

She run 10:54 in Seoul if I'm not mistaken. And circa 10:60 in a bunch of occasions. It was not fluke

@@ctoaun23 nice

And drug aided.

@@santiagoalonso7257 You are mistaken

21:34 1:3 wind eh? 😂😂😂😂 She is the fastest.

@@marieljackman1850 troll

She sustained her sub 11 times for a whole season and a half. During this she was rigorously drug tested for being the best improver and yet every test came back clean. Even when she died her autopsy results showed a clean test. She was training up for another event up until her death. Drugs don’t give you perfect technique and Flo Jo had the closest to perfect technique. If it wasn’t for her mediocre first 20m she would literally have a spotless technique.

@@jetsofaqua2206 : look this progression: 1983 11.06 Bruxelles (BEL) 26 AUG 1984 10.99 Berlin (GER) 17 AUG 1985 11.00 Roma (ITA) 07 SEP 1987 10.96 Köln (GER) 16 AUG 1988 10.49 IN (USA) 16 JUL There's something very strange, right?

@@lalomillar6335 drugs,a lot of drugs.

Bolt has stated he could have gone faster : videos of his run show his WR was run sub-optimally.

Are you saying she went faster than 10.49 ?

@@thedivinebrycelamore Flo jo definitely went faster than 10.49. 1. Firstly her husband, Al Joyner, said in a TV interview with her, she held the family record. He said "I wouldn't let any women beat me", "When she did, I knew no women could beat her". Al Joyner was 9th and 8th in the 110m high hurdles in the US Olympic trials in 1984 & 88 respectively. Only a run near 10 second pace could have beaten him. 2. In the Seoul relay races, the video shows Flo Jo didn't accelerate until after she had received the baton. She ran her leg in 10.16, showing her true 100m speed was 10.16. Both instances, the first stated by Al Joyner, and the second videoed, show Flo Jo's true speed was considerably faster than 10.49 : it was merely a qualifying effort.

This is nonsense, and the reasons given at the time. There have been clear studies disproving this since, for a multitude of reasons. The 0.0 is a very suspicious reading. Everybody in that race ran faster than they did in subsequent rounds etc. I also don't but the 10.16 stuff. This is her real fastest time but she could barely get within half a second of it in legitimate racing? That's like saying Usain Bolt really ran a 9.10 but couldn't do it at a track meet.

@@maxdecimus13 1. It is a known fact, racers run faster when somebody is ahead of them. The races of Katlyn Tuohy, Aria Pearce, and others, show the same effect. (Bolt also induced faster runs in the opposition : getting 2nd is bad enough, getting trashed is humiliating, especially for Olympic sprinters. ) (Racers hate someone having a large clear space ahead of them. Additionally racers in qualifying rounds, run to qualify, not win. If someone has a clear space ahead of them, they have to make additional effort to get through as a fastest loser, a very undesirable and tenuous situation.) 2. Flo Jo ran to win, not beat records : she never ran faster than needed. (The 0.0 was correct, the gauge measured the wind speed along the racing direction. The position of the racers hair reset to the racing line, each time their feet hit the ground. The direction reached by the hair between impacts, showed a cross-wind 5 to 6 m/s. Videos of the side and back of the racers show the hair positions clearly. Videos showing the front, most popular as the faces are shown, hide most of the hair movement. ) 3. Bolt considers 9.58 as beatable. He considers that if he really tried, he would have been considerable faster. Remember how he did some press ups after the race to let everybody know it easy. (He retired because he was getting slower, not because the opposition was getting faster.)

@michaeledwards2251 1) every single person in the two affected races ran a seasons best and most a personal best with some by a very large margin. 2) The gauge actually officially measured 0.00 for the two quarter finals previous. After they looked at it, and reset it, it was +5.0 for the 3rd. These are suspiciously precise figures, on what was a very windy day. 3) The men's 100m and men's triple jump world records were also beaten at this meeting. They were illegible for being wind-assisted. 4) The triple jump competition which ran parallel to this one, only registered 3 measurements that were under 2.0. The one nearest to Flo-Jo's record was way over the limit. 5) The traditional performance curve for athletes going through a competition is way off here. Athletes in the 2 QFs weren't able to nearly replicate these times. By far the most likely scenario is a faulty reading, rather than an incredibly precise criss-wind that lasted for 2 quarter finals, didn't show up in the triple jump competition and went away for the rest of the event.

Stop hating

21:34? 😂 She is the one.

@@shawday7911 hating? Logic and reason.

Are you a sprinter, just asking?

It's because 25-40 years ago everyone was doping. Certain countries were favored and their athletes were basically allowed to.

It’s because even with doping, you start hitting against the levels of human ability. Todays’s runners dope just as much but different stuff that’s harder to detect. Growth hormone is a favourite as it can’t be detected. You can see the effects of growth use on their faces
