Christophe Lemaitre - Top 10 Fastest 100m Races - All Sub 10s

This video shows the 10 fastes races that Christophe Lemaitre has ran in his career inclusing 7x sub 10 second finishes. How much more recognition would Lemaitre have gotten if he wasn't up against the most talented crop of sprinters of all time while he was performing at his peak?

[servHis]

Can't lie. Loved his form. The power is visible in it

[lejeej]

If bro had a real start, he could have ran 9.80 easily

[steelermia]

3:38 to me this is the most impressive of them all .. that's a sick comeback

[mahf_mahf]

he just announce his retirement. june 2024. so sad. this guy is so nice

[kostasmaddj]

Lemaitre and Vicaut are two of the greatest european spirnters but their starts are so bad that hold them back when matching against international competition

[jonjoe]

He ran the 9.96 before he even turned 21. Boling has some catching up to do to get on that level

[wss]

Reached his peak at 21, could have been so much more

[jfoot]

He should have worked better on his start. His finishing was simply explosive 😱😱😱

Кристофер Леметр был один из лучших спринтеров Европы, у него была корявая техника, но за этим скрывалось его уверенность что он лучший. Я считаю его одним из лучших спринтеров мира

[JM-sqic]

I love this guy, pity he struggled with injuries early on.

[stevecrocker]

I loved watching Christophe's career. His poor starts prevent me calling him the "complete sprinter" but that sheer speed was wonderful and exciting - possibly 2nd only to Bolt in his prime

[dxvl]

the pickup in the last race is ridiculous

[empanadasfritas]

Bolt and Lemaitre. They knew what they were doing.

I have a gold medal in my country (and probably in your country too) for casting a 500 gr ball over 97 mts. when I was 10 years old.
I still have that achievement from 30 years ago, but never got even a hug. Authorities took that cup as it was theirs.

I'm probably a gold medalist but, my country is too poor to even get there again.

[johnmcmanus]

Huge talent hampered by a series of injuries. Speed endurance in the 200 was up with the best. I was elated when he got his bronze in Rio. Might have been silver with full training.

[thenorseprodigy]

His stride length might be longer than Bolt

[fitmind]

If we are to assume he was clean running sub 10s he could've been a machine running 9.8s on the gear

[endlesswaltz]

Does any fully know his max velocity ?? Splits

[SilencedButNotForgotten]

Injuries at a young age and poor form destroyed his career, sadly. He could have been so much faster and so great.

Nowadays he is only a shadow of his former self. It's such a sad lost for European athletics.

[AndweleHarris]

Why would you say "All sub-10 races" but include the ones with 10.00?😐🤦

[certifiedchaos]

He should have ran the 400 h would be a beast
