 Okay all right guys what is going on? It's Jacob here welcome back to the channel welcome to my latest reaction video today's video is gonna be on Usain Bolt who is one of my all-time heroes he is definitely one of my all-time heroes I would absolutely love nothing more than for him to still be running you know what I mean still be out there just like an NFL player would coming to the end of their career you know they might have lost it a little bit of a half-step in their speed in their strides you know what I'm saying but they'd still be out there but unfortunately in top-level sprinting and and if and you know setting not only world records but triple gold medalist in the hundred meter 200 meter and a hundred meter relay except for one you know that's that's that's not something you can maintain for too long but Usain Bolt did it for over eight years 12 years he was at the 04 Olympics then went to 08 then 12 then 16 he is an absolute legend but unfortunately not running anymore anyways there's a video that came out not too long ago title what they never told you about Usain Bolt and I think it might have something to do with the 400 meter dash being that he never really ran it he certainly didn't run it at the Olympic Games so we're gonna watch that first it came out about two weeks ago what came out about four days ago is another video on Matthew bowling and look I'm gonna be honest Matthew bowling look I'd um I'd love to shake your hand because your video your my reaction video to you was one of the most popular videos and well-received videos on my channel in the year of 2020 so for that I say thank you and for for your career the entertainment the spectacle that we're gonna see we're gonna experience watching your career throughout your life I'm grateful for that too and it hasn't even happened yet but the guy who paved the way was Usain Bolt now the video that came out four days ago Matthew bowling was apparently him setting some sort of 400 meter record and so when I saw that I was like well I've seen something on Usain Bolt possibly about 400 meter so if Matthew bowling is effectively the next Usain Bolt but he's already competing in also the 400 meter as well as the hundred and 200 he might be even greater than Usain Bolt you know what I'm saying do you see what I'm saying so that's fucking exciting but what's even more exciting is this video here because Matthew bowling hasn't done anything yet Usain Bolt is a living legend and we're about to see what they never told you about Usain Bolt so let's go this should be good he's considered by many to be the greatest track and field athlete of all time look at him go with nine Olympic golds 11 world championship golds and a stunning amount of breathtaking victories Usain Bolt has submitted his name as the greatest male sprinter of all time absolutely no doubt in the world 2016 he was simply on another level of speed race after race year after year and I enjoyed every single one human however there is something else that many do not realize about this Jamaican legend and that's that at the young age of 16 he was considered by many not to be the future of the 100 or the 200 but the future of the 400 meters you're kidding you're kidding he began in the 400 bolt entered the Jamaican high school national championships in the 400 meters at the time he was actually the defending world junior champion over the 200 meters however on this day doesn't even look like Usain Bolt look at him run doesn't even look like him he worked on his technique didn't he 200 meters however on this day in the one lap race his time was so fast that it improved on the previous national high school record look at him go look at those strides I mean he's the same height as them but his stride is so long it's like he's just got different tendons right it's almost like he's built like a kangaroo you know I'm saying there's just there's just more spring in his step than most other men and he doesn't have an ounce of fat on him so I mean that helps 45.35 seconds remember that given that this time was done in the rain and that he eased up over the final it was quite clear that his 400 meter potential was much higher and then just one month later he would run one of the most stunning 4x400 meter relay legs in high school history it's not over for this particular race I want you to pay attention to just how far behind Usain Bolt is from the front runner oh shit I didn't even see him however over the next lap he showcased one of the greatest sprinting achievements in high school history down the back stretch he powered away effortlessly from the center and coming through the final 100 meters well there was simply nobody that was gonna catch him now I've watched this race many many times this performance on numerous occasions I've clocked this 16 year old bolt at 44.8 seconds a pretty remarkable time for such a young athlete the potential of Usain Bolt and the 400 meters was nearly limitless but as we all know his future would be in the 100 and the 200 meters oh guys I've got ghost bumps man looking at this shit those those angles those camera angles man he was already six foot in the 100 meter sprint absolutely towering over his peers with Usain Bolt leading the charge it looked like he was a sprinting superhero there ain't nothing like it this larger stature certainly made him and especially when he got so far ahead that he relaxed for the last 10 meters I mean you didn't know what he was gonna do he might turn to the crowd he might turn backwards he might do a cartwheel no I never did that we might have actually oh my god yeah 400 was out the door let's do the 200 instead under 20 seconds and it was certainly a strong foreshadowing moment of his 200 the question still remains how fast could bolt have yeah how fast could he have been that that is the question that is the question what is the world record in order to see success in the four fleets needs tremendous strength in addition to natural speed now both certainly has natural speed there's literally no one that would disagree with that but he rarely brought out his 400 meter strength in competition the 400 meter is just brutal instead of building up additional muscle throughout his career both maintained a leaner and lighter stature nothing like the hundred meters he had done this track history would likely be quite different but it's also hard to imagine that bolt would not have been an absolute killer in the 400 meters he already made running under 45 seconds at just 16 look quite easy so just imagine what he could have accomplished at 18 years old or even 20 or even 22 for that matter one clear example that showcases his undeniable 400 meter potential comes from the 2010 Diamond League meeting in Ostrava 300 okay interesting let's have a look at this he still ran the second fastest performance in the history of the 300 meters at the time this performance completely destroyed oh my god he could have got under 40 seconds for the 400 meters he what is the world record 400 this time is unbelievable he could keep going for another hundred meters no doubt notice the track is actually wet and that's because there was actually light rain during his race this undoubtedly slowed down his overall time but what I found just adds to his legacy was how he finished the final 100 meters even though he was much heavier than the rest of the field the final 100 meters was where he completely buried his competition yeah yes he did oh it's amazing but still this final stretch was a real showcasing of his 400 meter bro look at the technique it's different it's different when he was younger right he keeps his head right over the top of his body rather than like that quite amazing that bolt was in fact Wade Vanneke see that's the 400 meter runner isn't it Vanneke so 43.18 you are joking you are joking so that means bolt has to run the final 100 meters of his 400 meter dash in what in what 13 seconds 30.97 so under so 12 12 12 point in fact let's let's work this out 4th 43.18 43.18 meters 12.21 12.21 seconds Usain Bolt would have to have ran in this exact race the last 100 meter dash in which he do in his sleep he do it backwards for God's sake he would be the world record holder in the 400 meter dash if he ran it ever and it recorded me I'm telling you this right now damn because the only athletes to ever run faster than this okay well look he ran well he ran probably as pretty much as well as he could and he still didn't beat Michael Johnson in the 300 meter now that last 100 meters from 3 to 400 would be the toughest in the fucking world especially especially if you've just run 300 meters in 30 seconds flat but I reckon he could have done it I reckon he could have done it I reckon he could have shattered the world record just like he did in the 200 and just like he did in the 100 I'm gonna say right here right now that if you say about trained for it if you say about trained for the 400 he could have got at least under 43 if not under 42 seconds and that would have been something to behold for many bolt had obvious world record potential in the 400 meters and many have speculated that he could in fact have run well under 43 seconds this kind of performance would easily still be a world record but unfortunately we'll never know just how no we won't that is really unfortunate what times could you say involved have run in the 400 meters had he focused on this event leave your thoughts in the comment section down below thanks for watching everyone and as always until next time I'm actually glad he put that question out there because I'm gonna say I look I would have obviously would have done pretty fucking well to get under 42 seconds I'm gonna say 42 5 and that would have been just absolutely smashing the world record of 43.18 I'm gonna say he would have come in at a meet made it you know coasted in right maybe an Olympic games coasted in through his heat like he always does coast in through the semi get to the final and then put the fucking hammer down and he would have ran a 425 a 4 2.5 that's what I'm saying but what are these guys say in his absolute God world record prime in 2009 he should have signed up for competitive diamond league 400 meters to break 43 I think you could have done it so do why okay people have put their answer underneath the question for 3.21 or 4 2.89 well that makes absolutely no sense Matthew could have broken 43 42.958 under 43 42.5 42.7 42.81 43.13 4275 there's someone that said I think he would have struggled to break 44 to be honest unpopular opinion I know he struggled with too many 200 meters as it is though did he really did he really well at the end of the day when it counted in the Olympic games he came through and that is why he is the legend he is today so thank you for watching thank you for listening in the next one we're gonna watch Matthew bowling shocking the world and I cannot wait so I will see you all then thank you so much for watching like I said I am extremely sunburnt today she's not good mate she's not good she's not a good
