Justin Gatlin sent him home a loser his final race. Was glorious. Merica
Actually lost his last 2. Coleman beat him in the semifinal, and Bolt finished 3rd behind Gatlin and Coleman in the Final.

Thanks for explaining that to me. I never knew pro days are hand timed with all those scouts getting there own separate times... who woulda thunk it.Pro day’s are always hand timed. 4.16 is barely a 4.3 at the combine.
Darrell Green was faster/quicker than Bo.Bolt is the faster man ever, so nothing surprising here. If he were ylu;ger, training for it and in spikes he shatters the mark.
Still, imo Bo had the best first 10-20 yards of anyone Inhave ever seen on a football field.
Sanders wasn’t nearly that fast. He had great short area quickness, balance, change of direction, wiggle amd instincts. But no chance he beats bo in a race, imo.Darrell Green was faster/quicker than Bo.
“Quicker” than every football player ever? Barry Sanders (and now I stick my fingers in my ears and make noises to drown out everything else).
You’re 100% right on Barry (but my fingers are in my ears. LOL)Sanders wasn’t nearly that fast. He had great short area quickness, balance, change of direction, wiggle amd instincts. But no chance he beats bo in a race, imo.
Darrell Green was fast as **** but imo bo was a faster first 40.
I do remember green beating all the track stars in that all star competition they used to do on ABC. He’d smoke Nehemiah, Jett and the others in the 100 in Hawaii.

I had a mountain lion run right in front of me many years ago. It stopped on a dime and changed directions back to where it had come from. It never missed a beat and was back to full speed in a step or two. I literally sat there and thought to myself that what I had just witnessed was the most athletic thing I had ever seen. The next thing I thought about was Barry Sanders. Unbelievable change of direction guy.Sanders wasn’t nearly that fast.

Yeah man to be Darrell Green fast but built like a Mack truck is just unfairYou’re 100% right on Barry (but my fingers are in my ears. LOL)
I still say Green was faster; clearly had the faster track times, but what made Bo otherworldly is what he could do at his size. Amazing. If you couldn’t tell, I’m a HUGE Bo fan, too.
Sanders thighs were amazing. He was a freak of nature. Could bounce like a water bug, cut like a cat, amd explode like the road runner.

Bo could turn a corner and vanish like no one I have ever seen on a football field. He played a handfull of seasons and as of the last time I checked, was still the only person with 2 runs of >90 yards from scrimmage. He could just disappear. Not the best RB, though I would have loved to see him have a full career. But zero to full speed, no one did better.You’re 100% right on Barry (but my fingers are in my ears. LOL)

Was thinking the same thing. He was a dominant closer last 50m of 100.
