In the history of the 100-meter race, the strongest is undoubtedly Usain Bolt, so who is the strongest runner-up in history? Guy, Blake, or Gatlin? The strength of these three people is also very strong. Next, let's use the flyer Bolt as a reference to compare the results of the three people.
In 2009, Gay played 9.71 seconds with Bolt in 9.58 seconds; in 2012, Blake played 9.75 seconds with Bolt in 9.63 seconds; and in 2015, Gatlin played 9.80 seconds with Bolt in 9.79 seconds. From the data point of view, Guy is the fastest of the three, and it can be said that he is the strongest runner-up. But their strength is also not to be underestimated.
These 4 in the World Athletics Federation can be said to be both born and born, and in the past 10 years or so, the fastest 100 meters in human history have been updated. These 4 people are all kings in history. A single achievement is taken out, and 4 people can make a name for themselves, the kind that has left a name in history; compared to their predecessors, it is much cleaner. Take a look at the previous results of these three unborn talented sprinters - Justin Gatlin: 100 meters best time of 9.74 seconds (2015), a world record (later canceled due to drug prohibition), a total of five years of suspension in his career, but the old and strong, after the age of 30, he ran faster and twice beat Bolt, who was more than 3 years younger than himself.
Tyson Gay: 100m best 9.69 seconds (2009). He has repeatedly set a new American 100m record, and he is also the only runner in the history of the 100m who runs in 9.8 seconds without winning the championship. Because that time, although Guy ran 9.71 seconds, the usual champion was Usain Bolt of 9.58 seconds. Blake 9.75 seconds (2012). He is recognized as the second flyer, ranking second in history in both the 100m and 200m events. I thought that after Bolt's peak, Blake would be able to carry the flag of Jamaica and even break Bolt's world record, but the injury was relentless, and a series of injuries in 2013 severely affected Blake's condition and has since been in a slump.
Perhaps Guy as the strongest runner-up, many people will be unconvinced, thinking that Blake and Gatlin are no weaker than Guy. But that's just for Bolt as a reference, and it's just a comparison of the best of them, and it doesn't sum up their entire careers. The world's strongest runner-up, although he had a short period of time of his own, was quickly crushed by Jamaican lightning and landlessness. Since then, Guy has been in the shadow of Bolt, running desperately, he achieved the best of himself, 9 seconds 71, but also forced out the strongest Bolt!
