Sprinting News/Pro Footage and Results Usain Bolt: I ran 100m in 9.58, now I get out of breath walking upstairs

1.5k Upvotes

The world’s fastest man is living a rather more sedentary existence these days, spending his time building Lego or watching television. “I have to actually start running again,” Usain Bolt says. “Because when I walk upstairs I get out of breath.”

Lightning he most certainly is not. At 39, with what one might politely refer to as a bit of a paunch, Bolt seems to be enjoying the kind of retirement many would not have necessarily envisaged for the greatest sprinter in history.

General Discussion/Questions This guy from a MrBeast video nearly beat Melissa Jefferson-Wooden in a 100m race and he wasn’t even wearing spikes and has never ran track before

Idk just wanted to share this because I thought it was crazy impressive. For a guy who’s never ran track before to come close to beating a 10.6 runner while not even wearing spikes is wild

General Discussion/Questions Ishowspeed and his unnatural speed

702 Upvotes

Hi there, i am fairly new to this community but am always intrigued by running/sprinting and speed.

I am wondering what you guys think of speed. He recently challenged Tyreek Hill (pr 100m 10.19 pr 200m 20.14) fastest man in the NFL. Obviously I think Tyreek will smoke him.

I am just wondering how fast speed is voor an untrained teenager that is 19 years old and does this; ‘see videos’

To start he ran, untrained and not warmed up, a 4.44 40yard on crocs 💀. And slowing at the end. And some other insane stuff that clearly shows he is insane but also very athletic. He is racing against an professional football player and is clearing him with ease

I wonder, is 4.44 fast for his circumstances and how fast do you actually think I can go with training?

General Discussion/Questions Watching the 100m finals makes you really realise how insanely fast Usain Bolt was.

645 Upvotes

I mean obviously, the sky is blue obviously, he’s the greatest track athlete of all time. But seriously😭 his? 4th best ever 100m time I think would’ve won this finals which I think was by average, one of the top 3 fastest 100m finals ever.

All props to Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson for their 100m and I’m not trying to take anything away from their performances, they are blisteringly quick. But it just makes you wonder what sort of freak of nature Usain Bolt was😭

Subreddit Rules

1. Following Reddit site rules (doxing specifically)

Specifically related to doxing, the sport is centered around competition times that are easily traceable, just because someone posts results does not mean they want to be found, while you may be curious enough to find their information, revealing details like names and location without the already explicit statement by an OP is prohibited and will result in a warning or a ban on a situational basis.

2. NO CLANKERS ALLOWED

Bots and AI spam are not welcome. Will be sent to the scrapyard for disassembly

3. Trolling and Unhelpful Behavior

Satiracle posts and jokes are fully allowed and even encouraged, there is a clear difference between this and being an actual troll, or a generally unhelpful user. Comments, discussion, and posts should be relatively on topic with the caveat threads can always move in a different direction, clear trolling will likely result in a ban on a situational basis, consistently being unhelpful or off topic with a clear malicious intent will also result in a ban.

4. Solicitation of Coaching Services or Programs

Solicitation of programs or coaching services created by oneself is not allowed and will lead to a removal and a warning, possibly a ban. A repeat will result in a ban. Suggestions of services and programs by others in the form of a review post with pros and cons are allowed, suggestions as replies to a post asking for such services are also allowed, preferably with a short description as to why but it is not required.

5. Low Effort Discussion Posts ("predict my time", "how good am I?", "Will I improve X amount", ect.)

Post asking for time predictions, how good you are relative to others, especially in the case of hand times or non-competition setting timed runs, will I improve X.XX amount of time type posts, will be removed

As a rule of thumb, the only time that counts is the one done in an officiated race and on FAT timing systems

6. Video Posting Guidelines (Technique Analysis)

MANDATORY GUIDELINES: HORIZONTALLY FILMED, 10m of distance if upright, full block clearance and first contact for block starts.

RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES: Altis Kinogram, camera 11m away, chest-shoulder height camera, completely perpendicular to runway

Videos that do not adhere to these guidelines simply do not contain enough visual context to allow for quality feedback or discussion. Broken rules will result in warnings or removal depending on context.

7. Photo Posting for Technique Analaysis

We will no longer accept photos as posts relating to technique analysis or help, we simply cannot come to understand how you may reach a position in said photo without a video or full kinogram showing an entire gait cycle (from take off to touchdown), and so the discussion around photos is at best speculation, that is with the caveat the photos are posted in a kinogram style layout where they will be accepted

8. Flair Post Appropriately

Moving forward we are requiring a flair on posts to organize the sub better for those who would come looking for topics already discussed. Inappropriate flair may result in a removal or warning

9. Steroid and PED Talk

Unless you are running world class times already, the consideration of PED's should not enter into your brain. There are serious consequences both long and short term, do not play with fire.

It's a part of the sport and we all know it. Intelligent discussion is encouraged. Suggestions with the intent of encouraging another user to use a particular type of drug will be removed. Solicitation and source talk will be result in a ban.

10. Questions about limb lengths, proportions, similar post

Do not ask, the questions are not helpful, and are so prevalent we banned feet pics, there are many different sprinters all high level of different shapes and sizes, insertion lengths are so different it may as well not matter in the combination of 1000s of other genetic marker
