The way Blake accelerates at the last 70 metres is amazing.

[jwizdum]

One of the biggest mysteries of the world is what Yohan would've ran if he had a perfect/better start.

[jesmesHD]

that 19.26 will forever shock me. even more than Usains records, only because I genuinely believed nobody would ever get close to 19.19 in atleast 20 years

[simon]

Blake is my favorite athlete.
He is so strong but humble.
Hope he could come back to at least sub 9.9 again

[kiddcudikidd]

Bolt is the most comfortable 200m runner he even jog the times Noah runs hard for

[Mrxzarria]

The feel good music hit when bolt came on I loved that.

[TheFinalLeg]

This is actually 11 since Walter Dix ran 19.53 behind Yohan Blake in that Brussels race.

[misscritique]

There will never be another Usain Bolt. He was a pleasure to watch. His personality and of course his races

[umeshverma]

I salute Yohan Blake for this particular race. He almost defeated the world record of 19.19. Even the great usain bolt was shocked. He is second greatest sprinter after Bolt. 19.26 looks unbreakable.

[chagavah]

9:38 look at the surprise at Blake's face when he saw the clock, it's as if he had more in the locker and would have smashed 19:19

[intervhd]

Blake's 19.26 will always awe me. Sure, he had a favourable track compared to some of the other times here, but for a stocky, 5'11 Jamaican who focuses more on power and natural speed over stride length and endurance, that has to be as equally impressive as Bolt's 19.19

[berbanedash]

Had Blake stayed healthy... he would have bin Bolts greatest adversary

[jiv]

@9:24 love that angle. You can see how blazing fast these guys are

[judahdsouza]

What if Blake had a good start at the 19.26. Oh, what could have been....

[petergordon]

Love watching Yohan's 19.26 if he just had a got a better start definitely a world record. Sigh if Bolt never existed he would have gotten alot more respect. Most people (not true track fans) don't understand how great of times Yohan ran.19.26(With a poor start) and 9.69 is no joke.

[nstratford]

Noah Lyles is being pushed as the new face of sprinting, and he may get there, but to put it in perspective Bolt had already put down a 9.58 and a 19.19 at the same age as Lyles. So unless he's somehow gonna shave .5 off his 200m time I think Bolt will remain king in the 200. Coles may be a better candidate over the 100, with his remarkably quick start. Still though he hasn't beaten Bolts 40m split yet either. I really enjoy these two young sprinters but damn I wish Bolt could have run forever

[ibrahimbah]

Yohan blake appears to be faster during races but in record Bolt is, Bolt always relaxed Yohan is the push hard, I like them both .

[Life_less_ordinary]

9:07 when yohan sees the clock for himself 😂😂

[mcolegt]

Bolt jogging and easing 10m out = Lyles full gas all the way through. But Yohan, hope he can regain that form!

[jamesbrooking]

I'll never not be mesmerized by that last 100m on Yohan's 19.26, it HAS to be faster than the final 100m on Bolt's 19.19, cause his start really wasn't that good, if he had a blistering start we may have seen a world record that day
