Bolt jogged a 9.85 at the Semi’s in Beijing- made it look EASY. Even in the 9.58 WR, he looked insanely relaxed.
9.58 will stand another 15 years atleast.

Its breakable but its not going to break anytime soon.
Who says it’s breakable who gave you that illusion, let one person run below 9.70, only two have done that and they both jamaican, Tyson gay, 9,69, was in a headwind so it doesn’t count. Bolt could have break it and only bolt.
@@unruly7516sthu Tyson's counts.
@@BIGGD214 no it doesn’t it was illegal, well technically it doesn’t count because the wind was blowing 4.1 metre per second, anything over 2 does not count. A guy from Barbados’s ran 9.69 in 1996 but the headwind was 5.3, abadele Thompson, you don’t know about him do you, exactly, you Americans man, same thing with that Florence Griffith Joyner, her record, the wind was not legal but it still stood some how, that should be given to Elaine Thompson Herah.
@@unruly7516It's breakable because all records like that are unbreakable until they aren't. It might take another 50 years for another genetic anomaly like Bolt to come along, but it will probably still happen.
@@unruly7516 First of all, a headwind is disadvantageous; you mean tailwind. Second, Tyson ran his PB of 9.69 with a 2.0 tailwind in 2009. This is considered legal. He did run a 9.68 with an illegal tailwind.
The world lead last year was 9.83, and it's been 9 years since anyone ran under 9.76 - no one is even close to threatening the 9.6s let alone 9.5s
To run sub-9.58, an athlete would need a combination of being a genetic freak, extreme hardwork and perfect condition on the race day. Many athletes only had one or two of those. Maybe there is someone who is genetically better than Bolt, working in an office or a contruction site now. Until we have someone like that training for 100m, really putting in effort in training and having perfect condition on one of his race days, then there is a chance 9.58 will be broken.
People dont understand that he ran 9.58 because for once he got a really good start which is not common among tall sprinters.
@@obryanallen6203he also had not favourable wind conditions

This channel is the highlight of my Monday
Glad I could use my entire monday to make someone elses.
the top 100m athletes are barely even breaking 10s anymore but "there are a lot of guys that pretty close" what a buffoon.
Exactly…… they barely going under 9.8 talking about close to 9.58 🙄 bull💩
Acting like athlete aren’t trying to make sure they peak during Olympics. If you watch or run track you should know this. Be patient
@@Firm2of2 @Firm2of2 i already stated this in another comment, you're either ignorant or trying to troll me, but i'll repeat myself: NO ONE even broke 9.8s in the last years and this baffoon is trying to convince me that "many guys" are close to it? Asafa Powell was running a lot of great times (and even world records) off season, Bolt in his prime even if he didnt run a lot was jogging 9.8x and 9.9x off season Gay was running always sub 10, today no one of those athletes can do that, so it's pointless of speaking of "peak condition" bullshit. The peak condition can make up at best .1 just like having 2.0 tailwind over no wind, while these people are running 10.0x or even 10.1x which are miles away from anything acceptable.
its the beginning of the season
@@thegamer97HSI agree that this is worse than usual, but Bolt was never running 9.8s in the off season. In fact, he never even ran a single wind-legal sub 10 second time prior to May in any year. Powell also never ran sub 10 before May ever. It is still currently April, and it absolutely matters much more than 0.1 seconds.
I appreciate you for covering notable performances across the globe. I wouldn't know about the Chinese athletes without this video.
Lots of great results out of asia, just cant read it or find it most of the time hahah.
the women's 100m U20 Asian title was also won by a 15-y-o Chinese girl Chen Yujie with a 11.32 (+0.7m/s) performance
I removed two performances from the final cut, and this was one of them! It was a stunning run!
No one is breaking it for a long while.

All killer. No filler. The purest athletics wrap on KZhead. Thanks from across the ditch.
I give my utmost respect to the world's fastest sprinters of today but 9.58 is statistically way out there and definitely out of the reach of the present top contenders for the WR. When was the last time someone ran a wind legal sub 9.8?
2022 with Fred Kerley (That Oregon track is a known speed track I will say that)
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1Yeah he did it. ONCE. Lol. That's his peak. He's not ever going to come close to 9.58

Dude been watching your training vlogs for years! Excited to see ya compete this season :)
"And he finished with ... one of the times of all time" lost it at this one XD
Excellent content, thank you!
We need to be honest guys. Bolts 9.58 is an anomaly, that will never be repeated. Unless we get someone who’s build like Bolt again and just as quick. I understand records always get broken but this 1 specific records is simply out of reach.
Lol that's a bit of an exxageration
but bolt's built isn't the best for 100m, too tall, 5'10-6'3 foot is the best height while bolt is 6'5
Letsile Tebogo might be a 9.6 runner, but 9.5 forget it, there are some young talents in tre ranks now like Christian Miller if he stays injury free, then maybe but 9.58 is the hardest record in all of track and field, even harder than Martina Kock's record on 400 meters of 47.60 on the woman side, that record will never been broken as well!
I think Mike Powell's long jump world record of 8.95m is harder. That one is unbroken since 1991 and no one is coming close. The closest ones after 1991 were in 1994 and 2009 with 8.74m.
no one's breaking juiced flo jo's either.
I personally think miller might be a bit short for much better than he is. But that lj world record, aint being approached until someone like lyles starts long jumping.
@@MIbra96 Bro, Pedroso broke that record soon after Powell set it but it wasnt deemed official even though it was legal wind and behind the board, 8.96m was legit even Powell himself deems Pedrosos jump as the world record Echevarria got 8.92 windy thats the most recent jump that was closest Phillips 8.74 is a good one to mention because it was into a headwind and adjusted for 0.0 wind it wouldve been 8.90m
@@cattycats4 Oh interesting, I didn't know that. I just went to the Wikipedia article on long jump and looked at their "All-time top 25" table. According to that table the closest jumps after 1991 are the one in 1994 by Erick Walder and the one in 2009 by Dwight Phillips, both 8.74m.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2">0:02</a>; 😂😂😂 How about we concentrate on first trying to run 9.7s again fellas & then 9.68 before even thinking about 9.57?! Looking forward to that Barshim, Harrison, Tamberi, Woo & Kerr HJ showdown in Paris! Couldn't believe Lemaitre's still running, couldn't walk away from a Home Olympics! Favour Ofili has levelled up in both 100/200m this yr! 100% with you on JaMeesia Ford, wanna see her & Quincy Wilson in Paris even if it's just in the Relay Pools! The rule preventing Ziyi Yan going to Paris is just infuriating!
Facts facts facts, seeing Wilson in the relays would be ballistic. He'd medal at an olympics before senior year of hs!
It take a special built athlete to go below 9.6. if christian Coleman runs 9.6 it will be the last race he run fast. ask Yohan Blake, Tyson Gay what happen to them after they run sub 9.7. Guys sub 9.7s will tear muscles up. Bolt was a special athletes and these guys can talk all they want, I dare them to run 9.6s. Guys remember Bolt run 9.68 running four rounds and then set the 200m record and 4x100 with his team. So these guys think it is easy to run such time at the olympics. I dare Christian Coleman to run 9.6s. We not even going to talk about 9.5s as he will rip up all his hamstring muscles.
Someone said 9.58 will still be the world record when the 17 year old who broke it is a grandfather and I think that’s an overexaggeration
Was a funny comment though hahahaha
Dawg who said that 💀. That 9.58 is insane. Absolute madness, but I'm damn sure it'll be broken in my lifetime.
@@khumokwezimashapa2245 yeah we never know, the thing it's really hard to know athletes spike, for example compared to Bolt era, today we have a way higher level on the 200m overall (Lyles, Knighton, Tebogo and even Fanbulleh and many others who can break 20s several times) while in Bolt era almost no one was breaking the 20s barrier beside the ones that got podium at Olympics/world champ, while the 100m dropped down incredibly compared to Bolt era (Powell, Gay, Blake, Gatlin) where today they barely break 10s and we didnt see a single sub 9.8s in years.
17 year old who broke it? What?
@@azsegrxdhtfgvijnkomlewrhtg9508 I think they were trying to say that Bolt's 9.58 will still be the WR when Christian Miller who is currently 17 years old, is a grandfather.
Love your coverage! I look forward to seeing it every week and chuckling at some of the comments. This time around, I was very pleased to discover that Jaydon Hibbert was back in action after his heartbreaking injury in Budapest (I was fortunate to be in the stands there, no more than 10 metres from the pit). After seeing his 17.87 in the States and his 17.70 qualifier in the brand-new National Athletics Centre, I feel that he is going to be the next World Record holder! Tony Hunt of World Junior Athletics News NZL.
Appreciate the comment! I wish i had footage of his jumps but only saw it get posted to his instagram after the vid was made. But 8 step, 17.33m was FREAKIER than i could describe!
Actually Christian, the guys 'competing today' are far off. None of you have run sub 9.7 and you're talking about sub 9.6?
I totally agree with you.
Bolt said he done faster laptimes in practice which makes sense
For the 9.58 to be broken you would need to replicate Usain Bolt and get him a perfect race, with perfect conditions. Usain is known for his Top end speed but in that race he was level or ahead of everyone at 35m.
I like this round up
Ben Johnson could've perfectly broke 9.58 but got a lifetime ban by the IOC. He used to run times of mid 9.60 in practice before the 1988 Olympics. He had god given genetics.
I just love the commentary here
Thanks man, good seeing ya round!
When he said, “You can’t just cut me off there”, I got an ad😂
Yeah I saw Coleman said that, definitely not true but it wouldn't be very good press if he was like "yeah no one's close, we'll be lucky to break 9.8". Mens 100m running is definitely in a bit of a slump right now, I know Michael Johnson has said in the past it's disappointing that a world championship or Olympic final can be won without breaking 9.8, but that's just how it is sometimes with events having slumps. JaMeesia Ford is putting up some great times and seeing her in Paris would be cool, but I also think being in the collegiate circle and running so many races early in the season means she won't have anything left for Paris. We always see collegiate athletes put up crazy times and then do poorly when it comes to a worlds or Olympics because they've already run like 50 races that season
Maybe i'm weird but I'm perfectly happy if today's top guys can just get back to running their 9.76 PBs against each other. I don't need sub 9.7s cos off the top of my head, with the exception of Bolt & Yohan, everyone else who's run sub 9.76 has served some sort of ban from a few months to a few yrs & really don't want to go back to those days! JaMeesia has primarily been a 200m sprinter this year, but she's also run a number of 4x4s running incredible splits that would be impressive for a Top Pro Athlete let alone a College Freshman! If she doesn't make the 200m Team (for the reasons you gave), I hope they consider taking her as part of the W4x4/Mixed 4x4 Relay Pools like they did with Abby Steiner in '22 when she only ran the 200m @WC Trials but was still picked on both 4x1 & 4x4 Teams!
@@AllInTheGame01 Yohan served a ban as well
@@lawrencemaclin1352 Completely forgot about the 3 month ban Yohan, Marvin Anderson, Allodin Fothergill & Lansford Spence all got. Sheri-Ann Brooks also tested positive but this was thrown out because her B sample was tested without her knowledge.

Great content. I subscribe.
Love to see it!
Hi, I recently found your channel. Is running a sub 10 something that was more common during the BOLT era? I watched the world record run of usain bolt and the entire field looked like they ran SUB 10. I'd appreciate if you could explain to me. Or if anyone could!
Less people ran sub 10 in thr 2010 era, but the margin they did it by was bigger. So we have more fast sprinters but they had crazy quality. Back then youd never see college or high schoolers go sub 10 tho haha
I ran sub 9 in training, i felt off that day

Noah Lyles PB: 9.83 Fred Kerley PB: 9.76 C. Coleman PB: 9.76 9.8 average time. That's the peak of this generation. Until these dudes run a sub-9.69 time, they are not even in the conversation to beat 9.58. Not even close.
thats the peak of the human race apart from Bolt lol, no one has ever gone under 9.70 with any regularity , let alone touch 9.60 and below.
Elite sprinters train to not peak in a season too early. And also you don’t want to get injured early in the season. Times will get faster as the season goes on
🤔🤔🤔So where are they???
The times currently feels slow compared to the same time last year.
Its not too bad historically. But usually its the pros going sub 10 not the high schoolers hahaha. Atleast someones doing it.
“Not that far off” but far enough
Only factor that nobody has these days is bolts height and stride length,tough luck…
I thought I had minecraft opened cuz of the song at the start 💀
Do you guys understand how much .01 of a second is in track?
In 1996 I thought Michael Johnson’s 200 meter 19.32 would last forever… 3 athletes have run under that number… but 9.58 will last forever and possibly Wade’s 400 metre is safe for now…
I'd say unbreakable, atleast for this year
They started cycling Yan Yizi too early.
How many of these ran a 9.7 time?
Bromell, coleman, kerley. Actually not a weak contingent really.

@@JumpmanTFHe's still that young? Damn. I thought he was older. Lè TGV still has a chance to surprise himself
Bolt was such an outlier in terms of physical ability that it'll take someone who runs low 9.7/9.6 at least twice before we can be talk about this. 6'5 with an elite first 50 is literally a once in a lifetime athlete and I really can't see anyone today who's built with "usual" proportions or who doesn't have best-ever insane power or some other once in a lifetime physical gift breaking 9.58. If you think Bolt's start is bad it's because he raced in the time of good starters and especially good starters towards the end of his career when his first 50 started to fall off, specifically Gatlin. In his prime he had an elite first 60m and would probably be a 60m world champ if he wanted to be. Bolt ran 6.31 over 60 and had 19 low top end to finish, no one is matching that any time soon
There’s no one close to 9.58 at the moment. People are delusional
Very
Sprinters seem to be slowing down on the juice, because they're afraid of getting caught during the Olympics. The times on the 100 are not going to be what we are used to seeing.
Every record is breakable, just not by Coleman and his contemporaries!!!
These sprinters really suck at math. Do you have anyone today who can split 6.31s? No. Do you have anyone today able to split sub 3.35s? No. Do you have anyone today able to split sub 3.3s? No. Then forget about the WR, lol. Try and go sub 9.7s. That alone will be a huge feat, I don't see anybody today able to go sub 9.7s.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="30">0:30</a> 15???
Unreal
Tyson gay finished second at 9.72s in the same race usain bolt created that 9.58s record. And it's like limit to bolt of them already. BOLT got that high and top speed.
All the elite sprinters aren’t pushing hard at all. They are saving themselves for the Olympics
9.58 is definitely beatable, we know a human can biomechanically run 9.45 on a flat surface. It might take decades though to break bolts record. My guess is as Africa slowly emerges out of poverty more and more talented kids will be able to focus on sprinting instead of walking 10 miles a day to get water. There's definitely some kid out there right now who has the gifts to pull 9.58 off, but other things might get in the way of chasing that dream (weight gain, jobs, debilitating injury, preventable disease) etc.
Why is that record so unbreakable? Hasn’t nearly every athlete with a sub 9.8s 100m tested positive before except for that one guy??
He cant even break 10 seconds without PED's😂
9.58 was beatable by bolt ... yes
These guys can’t even break a sweat
If theres one thing coleman breaks, its a sweat everytime he runs. Dude is soaked every post race interview.
Who run anywhere near 9.70 second . TELL ME
9.58 is breakable BUT not by coleman
They don’t have the stride length to break the record.
Tell me you don’t know shit about sprinting without telling me. If stride length was the primary factor in sprinting it would be dominated by 6’6 athletes. That is not the case. Having a longer stride is actually a disadvantage when it comes to accelerating. Usain Bolt put more force into the ground in 0.09 seconds than anyone else. That’s why he ran 9.58. If stride length is the deciding factor why didn’t Ryan Bailey break 9.8? Casual.
@@btg1153 in the world record race bolt took 38 strides while everyone else took 42,43. Next thing Powell had the most perfect sprinting form ever why couldn’t he get close?
@@btg1153stride length is important for sure but like you said there’s other important factors like stride frequency too I think a tall sprinter will have a higher ceiling than a shorter sprinter but very few tall sprinter can reach that level If you’re under 5’11 you’re not setting a WR in the 100m or honestly going sub 9.7
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 so Johan Blake and Tyson Gay, both of whom are 5'11, ran sub 9.7 but if you're literally an inch shorter than them it's impossible? The fact that the next two fastest men in history are half a foot shorter than Bolt should tell you something. Speed is stride length x frequency and one is not more important than the other.
@@djxcel23 So if stride length was the sole determinant he should have won by 4 strides (or at least 9-10 metres), rather than 0.11 seconds. Maybe I'm a bit dim, but that would seem to indicate that stride frequency is kinda relevant....

9.58 это то что Coleman никогда не сможет пробежать. Потому что Usain Bolt великий, а Coleman никогда не будкт великим
I will never say that it's impossible or even improbable. Now that it is possible please tell what that athlete would have to be in order to break it. 6'4" tall with huge stride length, or someone that genetically mold into that 'being' ? Bold had a genetic problem or a physiological handicap. I am wondering if he was normal would he had gotten those records ?
Only a very tall sprinter will break it. Which is unusual as most sprinters are not tall.
Theory newly formed: All the gear these althletes have been abusing that was undetectable, has now become detectable. So what we are seeing are clean athletes who can't lean on their previous drug protocols. Any thoughts out there?
It wasn't just Bolt that was faster back then right? We had Powell, Gay, Gatlin, Blake + others running under 10 if I remember? Could it be due to increased PED testing now?
It won’t be broken unless u get another bolt who is tall and fast leg speed otherwise it will never be broken
Bolt can break that record, he should unretire seeing he needs to rebuild his financials after getting scammed out of almost all his savings ($12million)
Insane that no one can touch 9.58 when Bolt could've ran sub 9.5 if he didn't showboat. So far ahead it's absurd.
he didnt really showboat in his 9.58 run, he ran full speed through the finish it was at the world championships not the olympics where he had his arms out beating his chest. he couldve gotten a low 9.4x if he runs straight through at beijing
