@luringcapybara As a matter of fact, that is not a bad time for a youth of your age. Keep working hard at your athletics ... and you may well find that, by the time you reach 21 years of age, you are capable of running the 200m in a time of 22 seconds flat.
@physicalgrafiti12345 I don't know what Mr Bolt's EXACT height was - back in the summer of 2003, when he was a sixteen-year-old kid - but I can tell you for certain that he was already WAY over 6 foot tall at that age. To be honest, I would be very surprised if he was less than 6 foot 4" at the time he set a world record (for a sixteen-year-old) of 20.13 in June 2003.
@TheEctomorph Well it could be said that he was a lot thiner. Since he weights what maybe 74kg (180lbs roughly) according , and he's 1.93m (6'31/2 roughly) according to IAAF.
he was so skinny at 16. He increased his weight and his speed also increased. Proof that a certain amount of muscles is necessary to sustain top speed. It is now clear why those skinny Kenyans have never won the 100 m or 200 m race.
@Franckbery There have been some skinny 100m/200m runners. Bolt still isn't that big. Kim Collins won the 100m world championships and I remember hearing that he doesn't lift at all. Pietro Mennea, Tommie Smith, etc...Sprinting is a complex task, but the more power you can produce vs. your body weight is important. I think the biggest difference between Bolt here and now is technique. He has only improved ~1 second in the 200m since he was 16.
@ThomasRiekki You sure know what you mean. Totally agree ! And there was an american sprinter in the 80s, named Calvin Smith.... another powerful runner for his body weight.
It´s all a mater of how much power you can produce vs your body weight. Just like in a car. And then, there´s the "gearbox", I mean, your running amplitude.
@ThomasRiekki To be precise, Thomas, he has improved by 0.94 of a second (as a 200 metre runner) since he was 16 years of age. But I would argue that, in a race of that distance, an improvement of that amount is very substantial. When the big man broke his own world record for the 200 metres (in Berlin, Germany, in the summer of 2009) his time was 19.19 - which, as we all know, is phenomenally quick. The difference between a 19.19 second 200 metres sprinter and a 20.13 one is
@ThomasRiekki [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about Mr Usain Bolt] around 9.40 metres of track, or thereabouts. Now that is a very considerable differential - in my humble opinion, at any rate.
@Franckbery agreed...skinny only gets you to be a good distant runner, and that's also why American Football players are really fast too because they're not skinny.
@Franckbery Admittedly, Mr Bolt was a lot skinnier as a 16 year-old-kid (in 2002 and '03) than he is today, as a grown-up man of 25, in the prime of his life. But to describe the teenaged Bolt as "so skinny" is a gross exaggeration. This sprinting genius ran the 200 metres in a time of 20.13 a couple of months before he reached his 17th birthday - that is an impressive time for a fully-grown man; let alone a young lad of 16. You cannot run the 200m in a time of 20.13 seconds if you are weak
@Franckbery [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about Usain Bolt]: That is a fact. When the "lightning Bolt" was a 16-year-old youth, he may not have had the sort of physique that Arnold Schwarzenneger had at a similar age, but the fact remains that he was WAY stronger than the average teenage lad in the street. In fact, Bolt was a good deal stronger - at 16 years of age - than most grown men of twice that age.
@Franckbery it's mostly genetics...you cannot get on the Olympic levels unless your body has certain properties.. like long distance runners and sprinters have really different bodies
@pierceys234 Very true. There is an old adage: "Sprinters are born, not made". If that is the case - and there is considerable scientific evidence to suggest that it is - then it is surely also true that marathon runners are born, not made.
World class sprinters do, of course, have very different qualities - and very different bodies - from marathon runners. The typical world class sprinter is around 6 foot tall, and has a mesomorphic physique. Many sprinters have biceps which
@pierceys234 [Continuing on from my previous 'post' about the physical differences between world-class sprinters and world-class long distance runners]: measure more than 15 inches in circumference, and huge, muscular thighs - measuring over 25". What is more, ALL top class sprinters (without exception) are blessed with an abundance of 'fast-twitch' muscle fibres. These muscle fibres have a GENETIC basis, and CANNOT BE ACQUIRED by hard work and physical training/conditioning.
@pierceys234 [Continuing on from my previous 'posts' about the physical differences between world-class sprinters and world-class long distance runners]: Top class marathon runners tend to be a lot shorter in height than sprinters. What is more, the typical world class marathon runner is an ectomorph, and therefore does not have large, heavily muscled biceps or thighs. At a rough estimate, I would say that many, if not most, top marathon runners have biceps which measure less than 13.5 inches.
@pierceys234 [Continuing on from my previous 'posts' about the physical differences between world-class sprinters and world-class long distance runners]: I would also estimate that, in most cases, world class marathon runners have thighs which measure less than 22 inches in cirumference. Another big difference between sprinters of international standard and their marathon running counterparts is the fact that the long-distance athletes are blessed with an abundance of 'slow-twitch' muscle
@pierceys234 [Continuing on from my previous 'posts' about the physical differences between world-class sprinters and world-class long distance runners]: fibres. These fibres enable them to run long distances in times which would be way beyond the capabilities of athletes who are well-endowed with FAST TWITCH muscle fibers (i.e. sprinters, long jumpers and high hurdlers). There is no way that Usain Bolt or Tyson Gay could ever become a world class marathon runner, no matter how hard they

@aCapNuneBbon ...because he's older, stronger and years of non-stop training have hardened his body into being the only person that can run 100m in 9.58
@Alltimeboxing When Michael Tyson was fifteen years of age (back in 1981) he was probably considerably harder and stronger than Usain Bolt was at the same age. But so f*****g what?! Iron Mike was a heavyweight BOXER ... Usain Bolt is a SPRINTER. It is patently obvious that both guys were blessed with a great deal of natural physical talent... but one of them was put on this earth to excel as a boxer; the other to break records as a sprinter.
@Alltimeboxing When Iron Mike was a youth of 15, he was already built like a brick s***house and harder than 99.5% of grown men. But he couldn't run the 200 in 20.58 seconds. (The 'lightning Bolt' could, though - believe it or not.)
@TheEctomorph I know ! but people say here that Bolt was "big" for a 15 y o. He was FAST, he was muscular ok but I know way bigger as 15 y o, and the best example for me is Iron Mike. Never said Tyson could run fast.
cant wait for 2012 olympics after watching the world championships but lets hope they get rid of the silly 1 false start bullshit.....fukin ruined it for me after waiting so long for bolt in the 100m only to be let down. least he strolled the 200 lol.
I ran 10.9 & 22.9 @ age 16, i never trained though. Our school has never had a track. I was the slowest on the team, fastest guy ran 10.3 he was the same age. He ran 20.9 200.
Bolt actually won this race into a -1.1w and you heard the commentator said he defied the rain as well. So calculate, if he had gotten favorable conditions what time he actually would have ran here. So when Carl Lewis and other idiots come out and say Bolt came out of nowhere it pisses me off.unlike some people, Carl Lewis must have heard about Bolt , he was an athlete ,so he would normally keep up to date with the sport.
@Tylerbmlss Just train and don't give a damn of what people say. I was 14 when I started and I ran my first 200m in 27.88. Now at 16 I run 23.32. Train your strength and do some technical training too.
@MrKarlozz when i said those where my 200m times i am not to worried about them seeing as how i am a long distance runer 5km to 10km i was just curious what a good 200m time is but i have never ran anything less then the 3km in track
@Tylerbmlss i am 13 and i do close to that slightly more and there are 12 year old girls doing faster........... so the simple answer is no its not that good. its good but not that good. i would expect 11.90 to 11.50 from a 16 yar old
Alright guys, enough with the times. Your times in your teens may not mean you are going to be a world class sprinter or not. I've seen fast guys get slower or stay the same from their teens and I've seen slow guys get considerably faster in their late teens/early 20s.
Man I really wish he would of also ran the 100m when he was younger. I'm almost certain he would of gone sub 10 at around 18 years old. Maybe then the doubters would stop saying that he just got fast out of nowhere. He's been crazy fast from the beginning, but had a few injuries after 2004 that put a hault on his progression. But now... well the rest is history. Lol.
@usalavy19 That's solid. The winning time at nationals for 15 year old boys in Canada is usually a low 23 and sometimes a high 22. The winner of our 15 year old high school provincials in BC was like a 23.8 or so.
@TYLerlittmann For juniors, not 15 year olds. I don't think you had anyone medal in the 200m at world juniors or youth Olympics this year and they would have with a high 20. It's more competitive than in Canada though. You guys have the biggest density of high caliber sprinters in the world.
wait a min so 10.41 is fast for a 16 year old and i asked the track coach to time me at my school and i got 10.1 and im sixteen shld i be running track? lol
I'm also telling the hatez to look out for a guy name Jazeel Murphy, he pulled up at boy and girls champs this year ,hamstring. He's 16 this yr,last yr this guy ran 10.41 in 100 m and 20.97 in 200m, was expected to go faster this yr, but injuries. Although his father wants him to just run the 200 for now.Don't know if he'll be fit for wj later this month, he's a beast, those times are way faster than the class one boys who are 18 and 19 yo.Also a guy name Odeen SKEEN.
@Ras09true From Jamaica? Did he qualify for WJC? Those are some serious times too. There is a Canadian boy around 15 running mid 10s, but Canada is only sending one athlete in the 100m because the final at nationals was so windy and nobody made the qualifying time, even though a few guys ran 10.5 in the first round. I think the winning time at the US jr. nationals was around 10.3. If he doesn't go this year, there is WYC next year.
@Ras09true yea odean skeen is 15 right now turning 16 in august ran a 10.46 and a 20.84 i cant wait until him and murphy race in the 200. i think murphy would've have ran atleast a 20.7 if he wasn't injured after basically jogging a 21.20 in his first 200 of the season in february.
He was also WJC, so it amazes me how some people could come out after he won Olympic and wc that he came out of no where. These people clearly don't know track.
@Ras09true I agree. He is amazingly talented. I like to compare his technical abilities here to his races in Berlin. You can easily see the great work Mills has done with him.
Most people don't follow track and have no idea about WYC or WJC. He was also the silver medalist from the 200m at worlds the year before and most people still thought he came out of nowhere. Lots of people I knew thought he just started track!
Even after seeing this race some hatez still are hatin and takin crap. You're in denial, see this guy is a phenom, no drugs, he's just a once in a lifetime gem, like Pele or Maradonna,Tiger Woods, Jordon or Kobe etc.I wish i had saved those videos of him at boys and girls champs, and that 19.93 he did at cac games as a 16 yo. By the way he won this race into a -1.1 headwind, so the times he's doing now in a headwind isn't surprising to me.His showmanship was there also, always lively.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yep, which is why I don't exclude the possibility that young Bolt might be on roids aswell. The only ones who've beaten world records like this at age 22 is athletes from east germany and stuff. But I don't bother
@ohedd fuck you hater you are just in denial.usain bolt is not on steroids stupid fucker.how can he be on steroids so young.he is just bless and you are just a hater posting crap on the you tube
Can you link the results or have a video? You should have a shot at winning or medaling at world juniors then this year. If you're bsing or not, you seem to be to young to understand the significance of his achievements.

Bolt actually won this race into a -1.1w and you heard the commentator said he defied the rain as well. So calculate, if he had gotten favorable conditions what time he actually would have ran here. So when Carl Lewis and other idiots come out and say Bolt came out of nowhere it pisses me off.unlike some people, Carl Lewis must have heard about Bolt , he was an athlete ,so he would normally keep up to date with the sport.

Alright guys, enough with the times. Your times in your teens may not mean you are going to be a world class sprinter or not. I've seen fast guys get slower or stay the same from their teens and I've seen slow guys get considerably faster in their late teens/early 20s.

Man I really wish he would of also ran the 100m when he was younger. I'm almost certain he would of gone sub 10 at around 18 years old. Maybe then the doubters would stop saying that he just got fast out of nowhere. He's been crazy fast from the beginning, but had a few injuries after 2004 that put a hault on his progression. But now... well the rest is history. Lol.

@usalavy19 That's solid. The winning time at nationals for 15 year old boys in Canada is usually a low 23 and sometimes a high 22. The winner of our 15 year old high school provincials in BC was like a 23.8 or so.

@TYLerlittmann For juniors, not 15 year olds. I don't think you had anyone medal in the 200m at world juniors or youth Olympics this year and they would have with a high 20. It's more competitive than in Canada though. You guys have the biggest density of high caliber sprinters in the world.

I'm also telling the hatez to look out for a guy name Jazeel Murphy, he pulled up at boy and girls champs this year ,hamstring. He's 16 this yr,last yr this guy ran 10.41 in 100 m and 20.97 in 200m, was expected to go faster this yr, but injuries. Although his father wants him to just run the 200 for now.Don't know if he'll be fit for wj later this month, he's a beast, those times are way faster than the class one boys who are 18 and 19 yo.Also a guy name Odeen SKEEN.
Ras09true 1 year ago
@Ras09true From Jamaica? Did he qualify for WJC? Those are some serious times too. There is a Canadian boy around 15 running mid 10s, but Canada is only sending one athlete in the 100m because the final at nationals was so windy and nobody made the qualifying time, even though a few guys ran 10.5 in the first round. I think the winning time at the US jr. nationals was around 10.3. If he doesn't go this year, there is WYC next year.
ThomasRiekki 1 year ago
@Ras09true yea odean skeen is 15 right now turning 16 in august ran a 10.46 and a 20.84 i cant wait until him and murphy race in the 200. i think murphy would've have ran atleast a 20.7 if he wasn't injured after basically jogging a 21.20 in his first 200 of the season in february.
grimreaper318 1 year ago
He was also WJC, so it amazes me how some people could come out after he won Olympic and wc that he came out of no where. These people clearly don't know track.
Ras09true 1 year ago
@Ras09true I agree. He is amazingly talented. I like to compare his technical abilities here to his races in Berlin. You can easily see the great work Mills has done with him.
Most people don't follow track and have no idea about WYC or WJC. He was also the silver medalist from the 200m at worlds the year before and most people still thought he came out of nowhere. Lots of people I knew thought he just started track!
ThomasRiekki 1 year ago
Even after seeing this race some hatez still are hatin and takin crap. You're in denial, see this guy is a phenom, no drugs, he's just a once in a lifetime gem, like Pele or Maradonna,Tiger Woods, Jordon or Kobe etc.I wish i had saved those videos of him at boys and girls champs, and that 19.93 he did at cac games as a 16 yo. By the way he won this race into a -1.1 headwind, so the times he's doing now in a headwind isn't surprising to me.His showmanship was there also, always lively.
