IAAF World Championships - Berlin 2009 - 100 Metres Men Final
DATE: August 16th 2009 (08/16/2009)
RESULTS:
1. Usain Bolt - 9.58 (WR) - *exact time: 9.572
2. Tyson Gay - 9.71 (NR)
3. Asafa Powell - 9.84
4. Daniel Bailey - 9.93
5. Richard Thompson - 9.93
6. Dwain Chambers - 10.00
7. Marc Burns - 10.00
8. Darvis Patton - 10.34
Note: Usain Bolt covered the first 60m in a time of 6.29/6.31 seconds (depending on the study - 'DLV Scientific'), which would have been a world record. However, records for 60m can only be set in that specific event, so the official record remained in the hands of Maurice Greene with a time of 6.39s from February 1998. It was officially broken by Christian Coleman in 2018 with a time of 6.34. Even so, Bolt's 60m split from this race remains the fastest ever.
*Times are recorded down to the thousandth of a second, but they are always rounded up. So a 9.570 is 9.57, but even a 9.571 is already 9.58.

British commentators are just 🤣🤣🤣. A bath of custard......🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂💀😂
This is one for the ages. I am deceased.💀💀💀
I think this was the single greatest performance in the games of the last century, tied with Jason Lezak coming from behind to defeat the reigning world champion Alain Bernard. Usain just casually dropkicks his own world record by a tenth of a second. No one obviously before and no one since has come within a tenth of him. That’s just…insane.
It's crazy insane.🇯🇲💯👌
I prefer his 200m record tbh
Tyson ran 9.71 (American record and his fastest time at the time) and still came in 2nd by a whole 2 meters, i know he was tight😭😭
That speed Usain has last 25 meters is insane! I will never see this again. ..never!
Let's be real, sometimes commentators deserve gold. Thank God I was alive to witness this race, I will be telling my kids what happened🥰🥰
That replay at 12:25 is insaine… must’ve watched that about 12 times.

I'm going to miss Powell and bolt just the memories they made on the track and their relationship. I don't think we'll have another race as iconic as this not just because of the runners but how much it meant. Gay should be happy cause atleast he broke his old record
This was such a wonderful time for the Caribbean. Five of the eight gentlemen here were Caribbean athletes!

@@kelechic.jemelumba9981 Gene doping is promising and PED's specifically aimed at speeding up muscle response. All records will eventually be broken but right now it's a development phase. The lab rats need more time.

September 2021 still watching and still amazed by this amazing talent. Bolt the Greatest of All Times!
2023 sept
I will never forget this day big up usain
As a Jamaican with track and field is in my blood. I have seen athletes set records from the days of Donald Quarry ......a world record usually runs a cycle of one generation to be broken. What Usain Bolt has done/accomplished in his lifetime will take two generations! This 100M world record......may outlive all our lifetime. There’s a limit to human endurance....if that wasn’t the case...one day a man would run the 100M in 0 seconds otherwise we have to respect logic!
Ballsticafr2: you missed one big point. Running and time go together. There is no running in 0 seconds. It is not even possible to talk about 100 meters sprinting. When you kill time, sprinting will die with it. So there can be no competition of 100 meters.
Watch this video so many times... Bolt was the whole package talent & swag! 😎
07:33 haha, I love how usain is just jogging while the filmers are sprinting
I was looking for you.

@Sabaka-Dawg 7:18 he crosses at 9.3 as it turns and they gave him 9.58? Plus the toying around, lol

Nabil Sejaja yeah! Can’t help thinking how many strides does bolt need to cover 100 m
@@haoranyu608 Actually, the commentator is correct during one of the reply... "pound for pound" Gay is a better athlete. Gay makes 46 strides before crossing the finish line while Bolt make it 41. Height matters in this situation.
September 4th 2020 here
I'm watching this race as it's being transmitted live, forgetting it happened 14 years ago. What a heavy contest! What a class demonstration!
The commentators did an amazing job on this race
Agreed. My favorite commentary of this race. That's why I uploaded the entire event.
I completely disagree with them calling Gay a better athlete pound for pound. It's much more rare for a tall guy to be fast, look in other sports the shortest guys are always the fastest. With their absurd logic 7 footers in basketball would easily beat everyone else up and down the court due to their biomechanical advantage.
No sprinter today is getting anywhere near 9.58. That young man Bolt is simply unique. Maybe his son will grow up to match or exceed him, maybe.
Bolt has two sons and they are twin
Magnificent. I remember watching it live. Still brings tears to my eyes.
It gives me goose bumps whenever I watch this... G. O. A. T
2009: Obama was president, Bolt was inspiring the whole world, I had no responsibilities whatsoever. 2019: don’t get me started
Obama blows
Best Economy in the world right with record low unemployment. I’m sure your pretty upset with that.
@@addemup lmfao
They were so fast I barely blinked before they reached the finish line
Inspiring the whole world in what? Only saw 1 race, and i don't like the man. Arrogant behaviour. Its completly absolutly 100% useless if you can run a hundred of a second faster from a to b then another. Its also boring to watch to a line up of only black runners. They all look the same. Its not black people are ugly but i just can't see any details. The only six pack i have seen in 100 races is the one from Dafne Schippers, she is a delight for the eyes., makes it less boring. Can we not paint every runner a different colour. (Women uses wicks already)
Tyson Gay is really awesome, we tend to forget that only a bunch of guys in the entire world can run in under 10 seconds.
I think it is a small bunch of guys in just sprinters that can run under 10s.
So true
Drug cheat ,he was a drug cheat
I thought that 9 meant 9 minutes.... These people run in 9 seconds?
@@creative_space welcome to track and field
Had to come and watch this again. I miss this. Lucky it was in my lifetime.
I can be wrong, but this is a record that won´t be broken
Every thing in this world is not in eternal. Even Bolt's world record in 100 m & 200 m seems impossible to be broken, it will be broken someday in the future. But may be it'll take a long time, longer than previous record held by Powell
I was sure Michael Johnson’s 200m would t be broken but it took a freak like Bolt. There will be other freaks.
Even here on KZhead there are races being run by children who are faster than Bolt ever was at their ages. We need to keep our eyes on them. As a Jamaican some of them frighten me.
That was not Bolt putting in 100% effort. Not in my opinion. When things were working for him, he should have pushed harder. He was surprised that it broke his previous record. You can see it in his reaction at the end. So in essence, his times will be broken, but they could have been even better.
I think that Mr. Bolt's records will be broken and I believe that they will be broken sooner than we think. As a Jamaican this makes me sad, but it would do the sport good to continue to have the kind of excitement that Mr. Bolt provided for the last 10 years of his career. I don't agree that he didn't put in 100% effort. For this race he ran through the line nearly at full tilt. I just wish that he would have resisted the urge to see his own time during the race. That cost him time every single time he ran. I also wish that as spectacular as the race in the Olympics in 2008 was with his mid-race celebrations that he had run hard through the line in that one. I have seen analytics of that race and those estimate that he could have got into the 9.4+ had he known what he was about to do and had he wanted it badly enough. I would have wanted to see that.
What makes this video even more epic is that its 13:37 long!
I love you Bolt Thank you for those wonderful years
He didn’t even stop after the finish line. That means he was going at a top speed.
Still running for the 200m :-)
when you are sprinting it is physically impossible to stop at the finish line, you have to carry your momentum or you will break a leg/ fall straight on your face
2021 and I still can't have enough of my super legend .I salute you Bolt long live the track and field king.

This has to be one of the greatest 100m races in history. Gay gave it everything he had improving his personal best from 9.77 to 9.71, but still finishes second to Bolt who shatters his own world record, and in subsequent years goes on to be the greatest sprinter in history. Asafa Powell in third place also set a personal best.
2021 I still respect that record of Bolt.
Unbelievable quality , thanks !
