On January 3, Beijing time, the official article of the World Athletics Federation reviewed the men's 100 meters of the 2021 season, this season 11 people broke 9 seconds 90, 28 people ran 10 seconds 00 or faster, Africa, Asia, Europe men's 100 meters record was broken, the overall level is the highest in history. Su Bingtian's Olympic semi-finals in 9.83 seconds were also the focus of the Athletic Federation, pushing the yellow race's 100-meter level to a new height.
In the men's 100m event of the most important Tokyo Olympics of the year, because of the lack of absolute favourites to win the championship, whether it is the final victory will be considered a dark horse. But in the end, Italy's Jacobs won the Olympic title in 9.80 seconds and broke the European record, which ranked third in Olympic history, behind Bolt in 9.69 seconds in 2008 and 9.63 seconds in 2012, and even a little faster than Bolt's 9.81 seconds when he won the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Jacobs, who had spent most of his career battling knee injuries before this year and was also a major long jumper, finally overcame his knee injury this year and focused on sprinting. First in the indoor season with a time of 6.47 seconds to win the European Indoor Championship 60 meters, and then ran 9.95 seconds in the first outdoor race of this year, breaking the Italian national record in the 100 meters, and finally won the Olympic championship.
Colee has been a 400m master until this season, and this year's transition to 100m has been a huge success, and finally opened the 10-second mark 10 times in the season, winning the Olympic 100m silver medal with a personal best of 9.84 seconds, while Canada's DeGrass won the Olympic bronze medal in the 100m with a time of 9.89 seconds.
Su Bingtian and Ronnie Baker played well in the Olympic 100m semi-finals, both of them running 9.83 seconds, perhaps because the semi-finals were too strong, and both performed less than expected in the finals, and neither won a medal. South Africa's Sibini, who performed the same at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, finished fourth with a time of 9.93 seconds.
Although Su Bingtian, Sibini and Ronnie Baker did not win a medal in the Olympic 100m final, they can still get a little comfort compared to Brommel and Aumanyara, because Brommel ran a staggering time of 9.77+9.80 seconds before the Olympic Games, and also ran a time of 9.76 seconds at the end of the season, while Aumanyala ran 9.77 seconds at the end of the season, and both of them only ran 10.00 seconds in the Olympic 100m semifinals, and did not qualify for the final.
After the Olympics, Jacobs ended the season early due to injuries and physical fatigue. In his absence, Degrass won the Eugene of the Diamond League with a superwind time of 9.74 seconds, while Coley won the Brussels and Zurich stages in 9.94 seconds and 9.87 seconds.
This year's overall level of men's 100 meters is very high, 11 people broke the 9.90 second mark, the first in history; 28 people ran 10.00 seconds and faster, as in 2015, the first in history; the three continent records were broken, namely: Sibini 9.84 seconds, Aumanyla 9.77 seconds to break the African record, Su Bingtian 9.83 seconds to break the Asian record, Jacobs 9.84 seconds, 9.80 seconds to break the European record.
