The most influential event in athletics is the men's 100 meters. Not only in athletics, but also in many sports, the men's 100 meters are the brightest of the crowns. As the mother of sports, athletics has a long history, in the first modern Olympic Games, athletics as the most important event of the Olympic Games, and 100 meters is one of the most concerned sports.
As the hottest event in the athletics field, the men's 100 meters, although it is only about 10 seconds, it brings people much more ornamental and exciting than other events. This Tokyo Olympic Games, our country's 100 meters first person Su Bingtian pushed the project to the highest climax in China, according to media reports, the ratings of the 100 meters final are the highest in the entire Olympic Games. Su Bingtian did not win the championship, and it is not the biggest favorite to win the championship, what makes many sports fans sit in front of the screen to watch this competition, of course, is the charm of this project. And Su Bingtian's 9 seconds and 83 seconds is to create the history of Chinese, but also to create the power of Asians. And such a result in the men's 100 meters in the history of the 100 meters ranked away from the 10th.
So throughout the men's 100m history, the five who ran the fastest in the official race? In this article, Xiaobian will take stock of the five men who ran in history.
V. Justin Gatlin
Justin Gatlin, 39, is a Famous American with a personal best of 9.74 seconds.
Justin Gatlin became famous in the world as early as 2004, and his victory over Maurice Green, the king of 100 meters, made him famous in the Olympic Games. A year later, at the World Championships, he won the 100m and 200m titles, making Gatling a superstar in the sprint world (superstar standard - can win both the 100m and 200m crowns). In 2006, Gatlin was detected as a doping agent, the second time he was found. The four-year ban has left the genius oblivious, and by the time Gatlin sets foot on the field again, he is a 29-year-old veteran, and the men's 100 meters of viewing has reached its highest moment in history. Bolt, Guy, Powell, Blake, 100 meters of these people have already thrown Gatlin a long way. And Gatlin in order to prove himself, he did not give up, he had many opportunities to defeat the invincible Bolt, were killed by Bolt at the finish line, in the 2017 World Championships Bolt finally defeated Bolt in the big competition, although the result of 9.92 seconds is not so ideal, Bolt also only ran 9.95 seconds (the peak of this result is casual), but can beat Bolt in the big competition, such an honor is also very worth showing off.
IV. Assaf Powell
Assaf Powell, 39, jamaican star, has a personal best of 9.72 seconds.
Bolt's brother, as early as 2005, Powell's name became a sensation in the sprinting world, breaking the morris Green world record in 9.77 seconds, becoming the second athlete in the world to run in 9.80 seconds. In 2007, Powell broke the world record he set again – 9.74 seconds. Powell is arguably the best sprinter in terms of skill, and his run on the way looks very stretched and stride-length. His shortcoming is that he pulls his crotch every time he competes, either straining or running very poorly. One of the best runs in the big game was when Bolt created the 9.58 seconds race, and Powell finished third. It can be said that Powell's mentality is not very good, but the ability is there, and he can only play in the small game, which is a bit of a waste of his talent.
Iii. Tyson Guy
Tyson Guy, 39, is a famous American with a personal best of 9.69 seconds.
America's fastest 100-meter athlete looks like a title that looks very powerful, but he has only won the World Championships. Unfortunately, he was born in Bolt's era and launched several attacks on Bolt, all of which ended in failure. The highlight was the 2007 World Championships in both the 100m and 200m. At the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, Gay ran a highlight of 9.71 seconds, but still lost to the invincible Bolt. The following year, he set a personal best of 9.69 seconds in Shanghai, which was also a national record in the United States. As Guy, it was a real pity that he met bolt at the top.
Ii. John Blake
John Blake, 32, Jamaican star, had a personal best of 9.69 seconds.
Bolt's little disciple followed Bolt's side on any occasion. John Blakes can be said to have become famous at a young age, and at the age of 19 he was able to run the 10-second mark — the youngest person to run into 10 seconds. Throughout the history of sprinting, he was the closest person to Bolt. He was close not only to Bolt in the 100m, but also to Bolt in his specialty 200m, where he ran the second-best time in history at 19.26 seconds in 2011. But he still couldn't step on Bolt, and he seemed to be willing to be Bolt's little brother. His best time in the 100m was also the gold medal he won when Bolt was sent off for a run. John Blake has been plagued by injuries since 2012 and has never had the miracle of the past, which was discussed in the semi-finals at the Tokyo Olympics.
First, Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt, 35, jamaican star, has a personal best of 9.58.
Without going into too much detail, the first person in the sprint world. Slender figure should not have appeared in the sprint project, according to the definition of experts, the best height of the men's 100 meters is about 1 meter 8, we know that in the sprint legend, there are not many in this range, so the appearance of Bolt makes people marvel at his talent. In fact, Bolt's special project is 200 meters, one day in 2007, he told the coach to practice 100 meters, the coach felt that he was crazy, such a tall figure will suffer losses in the starting, and Bolt proved himself, with a year to let people see his talent. The 2008 Olympic Games were an exclusive stage for creation, with three records in three events, and he and Phelps became the brightest stars in the Beijing Olympic Games. He then entered an invincible state, and at his peak he was sent off for running and did not win the championship, and the rest of the champions took the strength all over again. 8 Olympic gold medals (originally 9, but teammates were found to be doping in the relay), 11 world championship gold medals. It is a pity that he lost to Gatlin in the 100m in 2017 and injured in the 4*100m, saying goodbye to his career in athletics in this way, but his status does not need these 2 gold medals to prove that he is already the greatest athlete in sprinting, and even one of the greatest sports in sports.
