/EDIT 2020:
To answer some repeated questions:
- I am happy and still surprised about 20 million views. :-)
- 37.04 sec was the world record in 2011, broken again by Jamaica in 2012, 36.84 sec.
- 37.04 / 4 = 9.26 for each runner. Yes, that's the logic in a relay. Don't compare it to a regular 100 metres race.
- Don't trust any world record in athletics, especially this one, too many athletes here were never appropriately tested, appeared supicious or were caught.
- No clean team will ever be able to reach these times again.
/EDIT 2021:
Sad news... The German commentator Wolf-Dieter Poschmann passed away at the age of 70.
* 22. May 1951 in Cologne; † 27. August 2021 in Mainz

37.04 was the record in 2011, 36.84 in 2012
-
Yohan Blake and Usian Bolt at their bests. Legends, utter legends, both of them.
-
The way Yohan Blake takes lead while Bolt increases it further... Top performance
-
I’ll tell you what I find most interesting about this race. Look at how Usain crosses the line. In any other race with a giant gap like that he would’ve cruised the last ten meters. But in this race, he was aware that he was racing for a team and what holding a WR would mean for his teammates so he didn’t let up one bit. Respect!
-
Yohan Blake is probably the best 3rd leg runner ever. He killed it in the London Olympics as well.
-
does anyone else just binge watch these?
-
English, French, German, it doesn't matter what language the text is in, Bolt will make everyone happy every time we watch him. It was a joy to watch him his entire career.
-
Can we give Blake the praise he deserves. Blake is seriously an outstanding 3rd leg runner. He covers the ground so well. He did the same in 2012 Olympics .
-
Usain Bolt is undoubtedly the all time best in sprinting. The sport already misses him a lot.
-
Oh shit, I feel horrible for that guy that fell. Thinking about all that training hard work and dedication going down the drain made me want to cry
-
3:04,OMG BLAKE JUST TAKE OFF.
-
37.04s, means that all 4 runners from Jamaica ran the 100m dash inside 10sec. Amazing!
-
Someone must give a special mention to Michael Frater for always keeping that team in the hunt... The man always ran against the fastest guys on respective teams
-
there's a difference between running for gold medal and running to create a world record.
-
What a margin Bolt made....! This guy always gives me goose bumps. I used to set alarm to watch his live races. They were usually arranged in midnight or around 1am-2am(Indian Time). So much love for Bolt. ❤️
-
Is anybody else here in 2019 after bolt retired😭😭 Edit: Thanks for all the likes:)
-
I repeat it 10 times just to see YOHAN BLAKE 🔥🔥🔥
-
I think Usain can run faster backwards ththan me running forwards
-
I don't know why but I get this great joy in my heart when I watch Jamaica run. It's legendary
-
Whole Jamaican team is fast but that 3rd leg???? Blake was blazin.
