The young athletic stars respect Usain Bolt a lot. However, the older stars just do not give him proper due and it is because he has beaten them time and time again even when they are under enhancement.
You can never have Usain Bolt aka Hugo in a race and call another athlete the favorite. Bolt is always the favorite even if he’s not in top form cuz he delivers all the time on the biggest stage when it matters most #Legend 🐐
Nothing like that. Bolt was just winding down towards the end of his career. He began running 9.9’s. Even many of the championship winning times were in the 9.9’s or close to it. Times were not getting faster, bolt was just running slower .
Sprinting is not just about the race. It's also about the build up to it and the celebrations afterwards. Just forward to the part you want to see if you don't want to see the rest. You will be missing out on the excitement though.
Go look what happened to him in 2012, 2013 (100m and relay). When that yellow vest pulled up beside him that's all he remembered. It Doesn't matter what form Bolt is in. Look at Gatlin comments, probably every sound bite there was mention of 2012, when Bolt exploded on them. He talked the talk, but inside he was nervous.
C Whiting Yes, because he din't have to lean at all, would have won 100% if just ran to the end with his normal technique. But no, had to do some tricks that clearly slowed him down but still lost only with 0.01s.
C Whiting 13:09 technique breaks down because of early lean and you can see that because of that technical mistake he slows down. Last 10m he was reaching and slowing down not sprinting. He was clearly in better form than Bolt but lost because of emotional reaction.
It seemed to me as if that commentator forgot about Donovan Bailey and Bruny Surin when saying Canada have a world class sprinter again, as if there wasn't anybody after Ben Johnson.
Yes it is, Chakka. I think they are being overly sensitive. No one forgot about Bailey. But that was AGES ago. We haven't seen great male sprinters from Canada in a LONG while. We saw great female hurdlers since then, but nothing on the men's side. It wasn't an insult to any of the great Canadian sprinters. But they, like me, were happy to finally see Canada back in the mix after so long an absence. Everyone is so unnecessarily sensitive.
malon chirara I can imagine that it must be difficult. Here is something that might be causing difficulty: Dictionaries give "a native of China" as one definition of "Chinese" as a noun, but American speakers don't use the word to refer to one person. I would never say "My doctor is a Chinese." I say "My doctor is Chinese." (This is an easy example because my doctor really is Chinese.)
Usain bolt wasn't in a good shape in 2015, maybe it was good enough to win 4x100 or 200 but he won the 100m luckily only because gatlin swam the last 20 meters, Im a huge fan of bolt and I didn't want Gatlin to win, but that season Gatlin was better than bolt.
i am lost for words to describe the great Dr. Usain Bolt, i get the chills just seeing him run!!!! he's am amazing person and will be missed whenever he decided to leave this sport!!!!LEGENDARY AND SUPERB!!!!!!
Gatlin shattered mentally. Just a complete loss of composure with 15-20 meters left. Even worse, Bolt was out of shape all season..probably 80-85% fit going into this race: Laboring...tight...breathing heavy. This will haunt Gatlin for the rest of his life.
I promise you this. Gatlin is not going to come nearly this close to Finishing beside Usain Bolt this Olympic final tomorrow night. Bolt will smoke him
Cow Norris Because like Marion Jones passing 100+ tests means nothing and that goes for anyone. But to be honest I don't care who uses but I'm not about to believe one person is clean an another JUST BECAUSE I'm TOLD OTHERWISE. Either way that's just my opinion and I'm sure you have yours. They all use an it's a level playing field in my eyes. So no i don't think he cheated. He is equal to everybody else but has better things he uses lol to make sure he is always winning when it matters most.
+Lo Mi sorry, that didn't quite answer my question. why do you think Usain Bolt took drugs? Some other sprinter took it & passes drug tests does not mean he took it too.
What is important to note here about Bolt is: 1) He was not in top physical shape. He was injured for most of the year 2) He had very little match fitness. He ran only a handful of races 3) He tripped in the final just as he did in the semi though it wasn't as bad Despite all this, he still won posting a 9.79 while not looking his fluent best. I hope he stays injury free this year so we can see him at his best.
The first ever asian in a 100m dash final, give that man the gold medal. On a more serious note, Gatlin mentally broke in the last 40 meters, he starting pressing way too early and it looked like he was trying to chase down Bolt instead of running his race.
+Shemzinho erm... No. Gatlin was trying his very hardest, just look at how he was stumbling everywhere - he was trying so hard he could hardly keep his balance. Usain looked so much more composed. You're completely wrong.
I respect China and Japan for using their own blood rather than just getting their black citizens to run for them. Shows their belief in their own people
Which race where Bolt runs then he gets to the half way mark he starts jogging... he was so far ahead everyone else he jogs to the finish line. I know I'm not imaging this!! :p
You KNOW YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR when they play a Bob Marley song [One Love] in honour of you and to you.... Long like the Great USAIN Bolt- GREATEST SPRINTER OF ALL TIMES! Like Bob Costas said: "He's right up there with Jordan, Ali, Phelps..., and all the GOATS"!!!
Everyone wants to find the secrets of Jamaican athletes. One thing I know is that people who eat Jamaican cooking love the superior taste of Jerk meats, soft-cooked OxTails, and Curried chicken and goat, etc. Jamaicans prepare their meats properly in 2 or 3 steps before finally cooking (The closest in flavor is Indian buffet). Food that pleases us fortifies body and mind, contributing to excellence.
Bolt was born to run.... He is the greatest athlete to walk the face of the earth.... still waiting for Rio Olympics to conclusively conclude that Usain Bolt is a track god!
If usain bolt couldn't reach around 40-44 km/h he wouldn't win any race, he is tall and will always start slow the only thing that saves him is his top speed after the 60 meters
υπεροχη οι ολυμπιακοι αγωνες,Justin Gatlin 100m Final Beijing 2015 !!!! ..

Κleopatra Kourmantzi .
No matter what people say about Ben Johnson. He still ran 9.79 second 100m. In other words, in 1988 his is still a great time many years later on and not many sprinters nowadays can run as fast as Johnson. I really think if he was given the chance again back then ( Like other sprinter since then ... Gatlin ) he would have ran a faster time than that. There have been many sprinter after B. Johnson that have been caught doping.
