We've Never Seen Anything Like This...

I'm an old man - ran the 100 in the 70's - kept my eye on this event for 50 years. Usain Bolt is the greatest athlete in the history of the world. Billions and Billions of people have lived - and nobody ever ran faster than he did. You take the 10 fastest men in the world - and he beats them by five yards. He didn't just win races - he made his opponents question their pain of training and life choices.

Usain Bolt also has the perfect name for the fastest man alive!

I remember watching Bolt break the WR and thinking "He could have gone faster, he let up at the end" the dude is just bonkers.

When I saw Bolt "jog" a 9.92 in a preliminary heat at the 2008 Olympics, I knew he was different. Never seen anything like it, before or since.

There are 2 types of 100m sprinters in the world. One, Usain Bolt . Two , all the others. I'm very lucky to watch him run while I grew up.

I know it's not the world record anymore, but that 9.69 by Bolt in Beijing 2008 is the SICKEST 100m dash ever! The man was "social distancing" in that final.

Usain bolt is the athlete that got me into running. In 6th grade, I'd go home from track practice and watch videos about him. I watched him break the world record in 2008 with my mom and I, a 10 year old kid who played cod2 and halo 3 on a daily basis, got so much inspiration. I ended up running all the way up into my early twenties at a juco level with one of the best coaches I could've ever asked for. I achieved all my goals, made some of the best friends I'll ever have. friends who are going to be life long friends and a coach who I will always be in contact with. all of this became reality because of this one man, Usain bolt. it just gives me chills when I hear his name because if there's one person I look up to most in this world, it's Usain bolt.

"But here comes Bolt!" I just get chills whenever I see him fly the last 60

9.58 is INSANE... but I still think his 08 olympics was his best race.. one because it was at the olympics so much bigger audience, and two because he literally celebrated 15-20m before the finish line while the rest of the field were basically off screen. That's dominance.

Powell jogging that 9.74 will never not amaze me

Bolt made watching track and field something special. My greatest memory him stopping an interview with reporter asking her to be quiet during the USA national anthem. Showed what kind of HUMAN BEING he is. The GOAT.

i still remember watching Bolt smash those records like it was nothing... seeing them again still gives me an adrenaline rush!

12 years and 9.58 is unbeaten, the legend has left a legacy that can only be broken by another legend

I love the intro. It gives me chills every time I hear that song. It also reminds me of Summoning Salt, which I love!

Thanks for this Masterpiece production. As a Jamaican born American, I enjoyed watching the evolution of this great event. I may be slightly biased towards the Jamaicans and "Canadian Jamaicans" but I have great respect for all that came along and moved the needle and thrilled their audience. I would love to see a production like this on the Women's side...I believe they/we deserve it as well. Thanks!

I've been watching this sport since the days of Ben Johnson...and I remember when the Canadian media immediately started calling him "Jamaican Ben Johnson" after his medals were stripped; and now it's Jamaica that's going to produce some of the longest lasting record holders of all time.

Bolt's 100m time will soon be the longest standing men's 100m WR ever! Just a few more years.

I still think running is the purest form of competition that a human can do. It’s so simple but so incredible to watch.

That was an excellent, excellent video. The production quality, content and delivery was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

No one can break Usain Bolt's 9.58 100m world record for at least the next 100 years.
