Among our track and field fans, usain," Bolt, Powell, Blake, Guy, and Gatlin affectionately call them the "100-meter five tigers", and they have opened an era, an era of great splendor!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, Usain St Leo Bolt</h1>
Active years since 2001.
Bolt is definitely a legend in athletics, known as "the fastest runner in the world", he set a series of records that are difficult to break, 100 meters 9 seconds 58, 200 meters 19 seconds 19 seconds. At the end of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, he completed the unprecedented "three consecutive championships in three events", winning gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4×100 meters relays for three consecutive Olympic Games. However, because the teammate's drug test did not pass, and the entire relay team was implicated, Bolt lost the relay gold medal of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but still three Olympic games eight gold in hand, proud of the crowd!
Bolt's classic gestures
After retiring, Bolt worked in a career related to football, but it was bumpy along the way, and he only briefly joined a football club. However, with its high popularity, Bolt still mixed up in the business world, began to receive a lot of sports endorsements, and later created his own brand razor, but also invested in electric scooters. Now he has achieved fame and is worth more than $600 million. And the girlfriend also gave birth to a child for him, became a father, and blessed Bolt here!
Bolt set a 100-meter world record

Among the 100 meters and five tigers, Powell's career is brilliant and regrettable, and he is a tragic figure.
In 2005, it was a harvest year for Powell, a year of achievements, and in the IAAF Grand Prix in Athens, with a time of 9.77 seconds, he broke the world record held by Green.
Inspired by the defeat at the 2007 World Championships, he once again rode in the Italian IAAF Grand Prix half a month later, breaking his own world record with a time of 9.74 seconds. He is also the person who has the most 10 seconds in the 100-meter Five Tigers, 97 times in his career to reach the 10-second mark, and it is difficult to have a record of the comers before, and the second-place Gatlin only ran 61 times, Bolt 52 times, Blake 38 times, and Guy 37 times. But unfortunately for such a brilliant career, Powell's Olympic trip was unsuccessful, and he did not even touch a medal in the 100 meters and 200 meters.
Powell
After 08 years of Bolt's birth, a new dynasty came, and in all the competitions Powell participated in, the champion was only One Usain Bolt!
After many years, he still did not give up his original dream, in last year's 60 meters race, Powell won the championship in 6.73 seconds, and the former world record holder won the sprint championship again, hoping that he can return to the king!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 3, Yohan Blake</h1>
Active years since 2005.
Blake became famous at the 2011 Daegu World Championships, when Powell could not play due to injury, Bolt was unexpectedly out of the game due to rushing, Jamaica in this situation, the youngster Blake withstood the pressure, won the championship in 9.92 seconds, and has since emerged.
2012 was the pinnacle of Blake's career, with the London Olympics winning the silver medal in 9.75 seconds in the 100m, Bolt winning the title in 9.63 seconds, the 4×100m relay raising the world record by a full 0.2 seconds, and still following Bolt in the 200 meters to win the silver medal, but the 200m 19.44 is still the second best time in history.
John Blake
But after 2012, Blake's games were mostly spent in injury. Although Blake had the second best results in the world in the 100m and 200m, Blake's career was too short.
In the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics, Blake was the only one of the 100-meter Tigers to compete, known as the "Last Stubbornness of the Five Tigers".
Because of Blake's extremely fierce running style, he is also known as "Beast Blake", but now at the age of 32, he has already passed his peak and has long ceased to be brave. Let people can't help but sigh that the former king, after all, has not been able to withstand the wear and tear of time and injury!
Beast Blake
Blake narrowly qualified in the 100m preliminaries for the Tokyo Olympics in 10.05 seconds, and was eliminated in the following semi-finals. For the first time, since the 21st century, there is no figure of the 100 meters and five tigers on the Olympic 100 meters final track. Since then, the era of 100 meters and five tigers has withdrawn from the stage of history, but it still brings us track and field fans a brilliant era and pays tribute to that legendary era!
The Jamaican relay team is at its peak
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, Tyson Gay </h1>
The active years began in 2000.
Guy's peak was in 2007, when he won the World Athletics Championships 100m, 200m and 4×100m relay triple crowns.
But in 2013, Guy was detected taking banned drugs. Guy stressed that he did not take the initiative to take it, but also admitted his mistake, in order to continue to compete in the future, he also actively cooperated with the investigation, and finally only banned for one year.
In the highlight of 2010, Guy was like a gust of wind sweeping over the newly paved runway on Manchester Avenue in the United Kingdom, a new world record of 19.41 seconds on the 200-meter straight, breaking the world record of 19.50 seconds that had been sealed for 44 years. The current best time in the 100 meters is 9.69 seconds, ranking second in history, second only to Bolt's 9.58 seconds!
Tyson Guy
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5, Justin Gatlin</h1>
Active years since 1999.
He was Bolt's main rival later in his career, and he fulfilled his dream of beating Bolt. On August 5, 2017, the 100-meter battle at the London Athletics World Championships was Bolt's curtain call, but unfortunately the Flyers failed to win the championship in the final battle as a farewell ceremony, and only won the bronze medal. The focal point of this game is Gatlin, who won the game.
Gatling
Nicknamed "Acceleration", Gatling was the 100m double champion at the Olympic and World Championships. At the age of 22 at the 2004 Athens Olympics, he defeated the last defending champion Green and Jamaica's then-leader Powell to win the 100m Olympic gold medal.
In the following 2005 World Championships, he ran out of the World Record for Powell and won the World Championships in the 100m and 200m. At that time, Gatlin and Powell were the best double pride at that time, but from the point of view of 05, Gatling was obviously more shining.
Unfortunately, however, it also happened in 2005, when the U.S. men's track and field team expelled a member of the team who violated the rules, and out of revenge, put a positive drug in Gatlin's food! Gatlin turned into a professional athlete at the age of 20, but before that, because of the drugs he took for ADHD, he failed the drug test, and this time he was caught during the strike, and the IAAF was very angry, directly banning him for eight years, that is to say, directly persuading him to retire.
Since 2005, Gatlin has completely disappeared, and no training ground in the United States is willing to take him in, so he can only find some old training grounds to train himself.
Gatlin's suspension put Powell in an invincible position between 2005 and 2008, breaking two world records. After 2008, Powell's disciple Bolt began the road to the gods again, and Gay, the millennium old man of Powell's era, became more and more courageous at this time, surpassing Powell, but he became the second millennium old man of bolt's era, although he refreshed his personal PB several times, he was always suppressed by Bolt. Era is used to cross the polishing of time, And Guy and Powell are obviously beginning to be overwhelmed, completely unable to shake Bolt's position.
Years later, Gatlin appealed to the IAAF and finally eased his suspension, but when he stood on the 100m track again, he was 33 years old. The Emperor paid off, training day after day, and in the games after his comeback, Gatling won two games against Bolt, although it was not a success, but it also won people's respect.
100m Five Tigers all-time bests: Bolt 9.58 seconds, Blake 9.69 seconds, Guy 9.69 seconds, Powell 9.72 seconds and Gatlin 9.74 seconds, shockingly, the Personal PB of the Five Tigers is also the top five in the history of athletics in the 100 meters. It was a great time, and it was unlikely to happen again in a few years or even later, and fortunately, we witnessed this great era.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the end of the 100-meter five tiger era, but we will always remember the glory of the hundred meter five tiger era and pay tribute to that legendary era! </h1>
