At the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the 32-year-old Jamaican star Blake 100 meters semifinals ran 10 seconds 14 seconds, the sixth in the group did not qualify for the final, plus the 39-year-old American star Gatlin was injured by the US Championships and did not qualify for the Olympics, Bolt retired for 4 years, Powell and Guy were in a sluggish state, and none of the 100 meters and five tigers stood on the final track of the competition for the first time, announcing the complete end of the post-80s five tiger era, with Coleman, Jacobs, Colely, and Grasse as the representative of the post-90s completely dominating the 100 meters.
Bolt is the undisputed first of the five tigers, 9.58 seconds world record holder, top10 average of 9.723 seconds, the peak of 6 consecutive wins unbeaten, to achieve the only Olympic 100 meters in history, occupying the best three results of mankind, 9.63 Seconds Olympic record makes many young players hopeless, after all, there is only one challenge opportunity in four years.
Blake is a trapeze delayed by injuries, the talent is not lost to Bolt, the personal best time of 9.69 ranked second in history, the top10 average of 9.802 seconds, won the Olympic 1 silver World Championship 1 gold, since the 2013 season injured so far, Blake has not been able to return to the peak, never ran into 9.90 seconds, this Olympics is Blake's personal last, stopping the semi-final side shows that he is in the inferior position in the competition with the post-90s and even after-00s, does not dominate, and will withdraw from the stage of history.
Guy Pb, like Blake, is second in history with 9.69 seconds, although Guy has a highlight moment and achieved the three gold kings of the Osaka World Championships, but the three Olympic Games have never won medals, plus his daughter was shot, Guy is undoubtedly a tragic hero. Powell broke two world records and one draw, personal best 9.72 ranked fourth in history, the weak ability of the competition is Powell's shortcomings, but he has his own unique advantages, 97 100 meters to break the record of 10 seconds high in history.
38-year-old Gatlin can be described as a prosperous field, from the 2004 Athens gold medal to the 2019 Doha World Championships silver, survived more than 100 meters of the era, with self-discipline and tenacity, replaced Blake, became the most important rival of Bolt in the later period, although 9 seconds 74pb let Gatlin rank fifth in the fifth place, but the length of his peak period is difficult to match the other four tigers, the Olympic Games 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze, the honor index is second only to Bolt, Gatlin can no longer impact the Olympic medal this year, An unexpected strain at the U.S. Championship left him out of the Olympic spot.
The Five Tigers have dedicated many classic battles to sports fans, mainly two, the first is the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Bolt broke the world record in 9.58 seconds, Gay created the fastest runner-up time in 9.71 seconds; the second is the 2012 London Olympic Showdown, Bolt 9.63 defending gold medal, Blake 9.75 silver medal, Gatlin 9.79 bronze medal, Gay 9.80 fourth, the overall level hit an all-time high, this year's Tokyo Olympic champion Italy's Jacobs, The winning time of 9.80 seconds can only be ranked fourth in the London Olympics, and it cannot stand on the podium, which is evident in the overall strength of the Five Tigers era.
When will the next Bolt appear? When will the 9.58 world record and the 9.63 Olympic record be broken? Is 100 meters once again ushering in the new five tiger era? These are the three major questions left by the five tigers after the 80s today's field, the birth of the super flying man can not be sought, maybe ten years, maybe decades, goodbye, the era of the five tigers.
