Jacobs would have been tied 4th in that London final! No medal.

The Bolt era was Insane!!!!

You can't compare a great sprinter with
*The Greatest, the best that have ever been*

[raunakkbanerjee]

Makes you realize just how close 9.63 and 9.80 are.. yet how difficult it is to make that improvement

[chrislloyd]

A time of 9.80 in 2012 does not even get a medal!

[julyriver]

Our beloved Marcell 🇮🇹❤️ is an excellent runner and overall athlete. Bolt was, and is, a force of nature. Hats off to both.

Usain Bolt is the absolute champion! There will be no day for other players to overtake him.

[JB-mblm]

Bolt wins. Without even watching this. That 9.80 is impressive though!

[hedwards]

And Bolt's actual world record time was 9.58 for the 100m

He is a legend.

Bolt has his usual mediocre start, is behind most of the race and virtually overtakes Jacobs in the last 40 metres as Jacobs hits his top-end speed 😳 Usain is a beast.

[sawankumar-zuqy]

Thunder strikes first time in a final. But it is out of the world when it strikes thrice in olympic finals in a row.what a legend. Once in a century such legend touches the earth. Usian st Leo Bolt

[r.sabeshguruji]

There is only king in track he is usain bolt

[thilinadilshan]

Usain balt is a legend..Anyone can't take his place ever..😍

[vinp]

Marcell Jacobs is still young. He will run below 9.70 one day for sure. But beating 9.60 is not human. Only the beast Bolt can do it.

[jonaspelino]

Usain Bolt was just on another level. A level only he has access on.. A true Legend..

[saurabhmamgain]

Even with the worst possible start, Bolt could always pull it off...there was and will always be only one Usain Bolt.

[tejionthompson]

Bolt is a Legend, had a lot of Experience of Olympics

[saravanannataraj]

Bolt's 100 meters world record of 9.58 seconds, set in 2009, remains unbeaten🔥🔥

[boxertest]

Came expecting them to put Jacob's 9.80 against Bolt's 9.58 but this is ok too lol

[aydenyepez]

It’s honestly not even close I mean just look at the times rarely anyone gets into 9.8 shape and here is bolt running 9.63 which is not even his record. This was made to bring hype that isn’t there. Sorry to be harsh it’s just the reality
