He was so damn fast. If only his starts were better.

[LightningBolt700]

Donovan could've gotten a 9.7 if he had an amazing start!!

[sweetmcghee]

this time they do get away..........amazing call by don wittman r.i.p.

[porksniffer]

Awesome. Best race ever after one of the worst starts ever. lol

[ephabouyed]

Well done Donavan Bailey for exorcising the demons of Ben Johnson from Canadian sport.

[Rexxstar100]

If he had get a better start he could have ran 9.7

[Reformed2005]

@Rexxstar100 That was a good start for Donovan

[Tepagoiungueb]

for that to be a record breaking performance, the race was pretty close

[puljacina]

@Tepagoiungueb lol the tokyo'91 final was even closer

[theodorewolfgang]

i remember watching this live in '96 when i was 7 yrs old. my sister and i used to mimic bailey's winning strides when he looks at the crowd with his mouth wide open, euphoric. classic.

[iflyboats]

is there a decent fucking quality video of this anywhere on the net

[two9ertango]

@iflyboats I was just wondering that myself. Took me about 3 tries to even find it in Google!

[CanadaMMA]

Can you imagine how fast Bailey could of been if he had been a decent starter? Honestly I don't think there has ever been someone that fast over the final 50m.

[Euphorica]

@CanadaMMA ya he tried to time the start and got caught as he relaxed for a split second. got out of the hole like a sloth and proceeded to blow everyone away on the top end.

[fightjunge24]

@fglfg and u are not

[KushPizzaSleep]

canadian great, love the cbc commentary as wel

[NiagaraFalls4424]

I tried to get his WR race at the Olympics but either the Facebook or You Tube controllers are probably American and blocked it so the rest of the World cannot see it everywhere.

Soreheads because they never ever before were beaten in Track and Field before in history like this. Especially in their Own Country. I guess the Blue Jays winning both their WS was more than they could stand,Lol.

[matrix123xyz]

thank you soooooooooooooooooooooo much for this. I need short clips like this for a project =/ im using this tho

[smmhitman]

Not in the 20th century though

[chr0nicForc3]

@smmhitman 1996 is the 20th century, we are now in the 21st

[sinksinkswim]

@chr0nicForc3 I'm pretty sure he's informing "fglfg" that Usain Bolt wasn't faster than Donovan Bailey in the 20th century

[fear123wz]

@smmhitman the 20th century is the 1900s

[smmhitman]

@fear123wz - The 20th century is defined as the time period running from January 1, 1901 to December 31, 2000.
