Great choices.

Mike Powell's 8.95m performance still sends shivers down my spine. Same goes for Jonathan Edwards TJ WR. And when Bolt's 200m WR is downright electrifying.

Carl Lewis broke the 100m World record in 1991 WC final with probably the best field ever in the final that certainly should be in the top 10

[shockjay]

Clearly not surprised that #'s 2 and 1 were Usain Bolt's records

[cormoshine]

The reason they didn't include some records is because they were at the olympics this is iaaf so read the description before hating

[lexsoft]

We all know Usain Bolt. But Carl Lewis's performance in long jump at that WC 1991 final was awesome : four of his jumps are above 8.80 :

3rd jump : 8.83
4th jump : 8.91
5th jump : 8.87
last : 8.84
The last two jumps were his efforts to beat Powell's previous 8.95.

Those jumps will win any competitions bar the WC 1991. Nowadays, we only see athletes struggle to reach 8.40.
Btw, he also set new WR in 100m final with 9.86 and 4x100m final with 37.50.

Realyy I felt like living with the legends.Thank you!!

[vitakyo]

Best quality video from Tokyo i've seen up to now .

Great list. But the US men who broke the 4x400 world record in 1993 deserves at minimum an honorable mention. That was a clinic from four supremely gifted athletes who were all at their peaks, including the fastest ever 400 meter leg by anyone: 42.9 from MJ. Unbelievable showing

[MrNgweez]

Anytime Carl Lewis loses the world feels like a better place

[raciaaa]

Some wr might not be on this as they were not set in a IAAF world championships, this is a video for wr set in an IAAF world championship only, read the title people😂👏🏾 !!

Undoubtedly #1. The sheer audacity to ask the world if they are ready to witness history being made and then go on to utterly stun the world. Legend.

[JackFlood]

How you going to make a decathlon with a 45.00 400m #10
???

[rubenmelendez]

Kenenisa Bekele 10, 000 mts. time: 26 min 17 seg. wowww Helsinki 2005

[xismxist]

Some of the women records from the 80's is the best ones, like Flo-jo 100&200, Joyner Keerse in heptathlon, Marita Koch in 400, and Gabriele Reinsch at discus is arguable the best top 5 ever

[cornellstephenson]

Why Sally Gunnell's 400h and not Kim Batten's 400h? They were both set at the WC in tight races and Batten's came after Gunnell's.

[jfoot]

The way bolt breaks world record and sprint as if he's not trying at all

[samhall]

Ashton Eaton is so underrated, quite possibly the best athlete of all time

[dolbodangly]

400m Hurdleds Yulia Pechonkina 52.34 Tula 2007

[santeenl]

9:43 righ ankle? Also the race shows Johnson was 32YO and the commentator says 31YO? So much confusion going on here.
