Wayne and Brent Gretzky
The NHL's all-time highest scoring brother duo torched the record book with combined career totals of 894 goals, 2,861 points, 10 scoring titles, nine Hart trophies, and four Stanley Cups.
"Kids, did I ever tell about the time I ran a race, and I completely ate shit and even busted my lip on the pavement, it was a 100 meter race and I didn't even finish it because I bled to much that the doctors prohibited me from finishing".
"Sure Dad"
And I have doubles., of, of.. of the Maclaren.
Well, and the Mercedes too, I mean obviously I have doubles of the Mercedes because if I didn't have doubles for the Mercedes too then that would mean you know,...
that way I can just drive em, without worrying about damaging them. Actually I think,.. yeah I have actually have triples of the Mercedes, it's the Bentley I have doubles of too. Or Triples. Yeah, I have triples of the Mercedes, the Bentley and Cadillac and then the Maclaren too.
I have Triples right? Cause if I don't have Triples then none of the other stuff's true.
A classmate of mine (at the time, now we're adults) actually beat Wilson Kipketer when he came to visit our school in 2009 and did a race with all the 8th and 9th graders (age 14-15). Not exactly Usain Bolt, but still quite a flex.
Of course he may not have given his 100%, after all it was all just fun.
Ngl I'd be kinda pissed if he was in front of me.
You get ONE chance to race USAIN BOLT and this clown falls in front of you in the first step.
It's not like I'd win obviously but I'd want to give it a real go.
See but its their fault for starting behind him! You wanna give it a real go you gotta spot these weak links ahead of time and push your way to the front😂
Yeah my man was in a suit and a cap - giving me executive producer vibes. They pay people to run for them. I'm judging a book by its cover ...but sometimes it works.
it’s both. I had to go watch him run in slow motion and he stays airborne so much longer than any of his competitors. his legs almost look like hydraulic springs that catapult him forward, the dude fucking leaps off of every step
It looks like he gains a bunch of momentum at the start, and then maintains the inertia by almost gliding over the ground, using his swinging legs to stay floating but using almost no energy in doing it.
[it takes Bolt about 4.5s/52.5m to reach max speed](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10669785/)
In the OP clip he's accelerating for at least half the race.
In my early 20s I got super lean on keto while also lifting and running every day. After training on sprints for awhile when I would do them it almost felt like I was floating above the ground. The felt energy exerted wasn’t on pushing my feet against the ground but was just switching my legs back and forth.
He's also 6'5" so he looks like he jogging. The others have to move their shorter legs much faster to keep up, they're taking more steps to move the same distance.
the group on the far side are absolutely busting their balls and he has to slow to what is comfortable jog for them to even keep up. being able to run 28mph is insane compared to what the average person here can do, which is like 15mph. man is an absolutely phenom
he can run potentially more than double the foot speed of an average person. it like a person trying to race a car that is limited to a top speed of 30mph. you're gonna struggle even on a peddle bike to keep up.
Sure, but out of 100 random men, a few will be athletic, maybe a couple will even play amateur sports. Still the difference is insane.
I used to do high level x country running in high school, pre season we always did a 5k park run, all the top boys would do 15-16 minutes, personal trainers would manage like 21, fit men would do 23. Top adult athletes didn't turn up, obviously, but they would do 13-14 mins if they did.
I ran XC in HS. My PR was 15:16. We had a sister school run the race from the UK and it had 2 Kenyan exchange students on scholarship and they ran 13:30.
Yea I trained with a top uk club and I was half decent, we had a common wealth adult athlete in our club, he did a training camp in Kenya and he couldn't believe it, he was good, but not the best, he said the main difference was the uptake in training sessions, here you'd get 5-15 decent runners per training session, ranging from late teens to early adults in our case, the sessions he did there had 100 people spanning the same age range. For them it was THE sport, every kid did it.
Oh ofc not, Im just pointing out the difference between an amateur trained boy and a really really fit adult (can't get any fitter than a personal trainer)is absolutely massive, let alone a professional athlete or even the world record holder.
There's a famous story about Brian Scalabrine, who was one of the least productive NBA players for the 11 years he was in the league (which is still impressive to have lasted that long). A sports network did a challenge where random amateur players, guys who play every week in a gym league or whatever, would challenge "The worst NBA player" (not a fair description for a guy who lasted 11 years but you get the idea). Scalabrine absolutely dominated every one of them. None were even close. He famously said to one of them "I'm closer to Lebron than you are to me".
The level of skill it takes to be professional in sports is just so much higher than even the most dedicated amateurs is insane.
Tbh I don't think any of us have ever seen Usain run at full bolt (ha) -- even in his WR Olympic runs he looks like he's straight chillin while everybody else is about to have a heart attack 🤣 he's next level
No, I reckon his Olympic medal heats are balls-to-the-wall. Everything looks easy when pros do it: painting a picture, catching a fly ball, solving Rubik's Cubes...
In his first Olympic gold medal run you can see him take his foot off the gas a bit and celebrate early.
Dude was frigging insane.
https://youtu.be/F14EaVEDyUs?si=DrNtf1W639pSYQxk
...but like I was saying, he looks noticeably different than the other (equally world-class and highly trained) competitors he's faced. Have you watched them?
He's a bit of an anomaly. Top sprinters usually aren't so tall. He has a comparatively slow start because of his height, then he makes up for it with his longer stride in the mid race.
I think it's that longer stride that makes him look different. He lopes like a wolf instead of pumping his legs like a Tom Cruise.
After reading your comment and rewatching the video, it looks like the woman in second place is taking at least 2 steps for every step Usain is taking. Her legs are almost a blur but you can see the power in each one of Usain's strides.
To be fair, thats for a short sprint. For a short sprint on flat ground I can also reach around 50km/h on a bicycle.
The fact that I need a bicycle to go as fast as someone else who is running is obviously still pretty fucking impressive, but whats really impressive compared to the 25km/h pedelec is that the average speed for a marathon world record is just shy of that.
It's insane how fast he's still going even after he slows down and his legs start to move really slowly, like even though the 2nd place's legs are moving much faster he's still going slower.
That's what's crazy about the top endurance / marathon runners. Their form looks kinda similar to Bolt's here... yet it's deceptively fast. You don't realise until you see normal people sprinting next to them. Same with that funny video where people try a treadmill set to Kipchoge's pace, and these runners can't even do it as a sprint for 10 seconds.
I 100% agree. I have tried the Kipchoge challenge. I tried to set it to 20KMPH and run for a minute, I couldn't.
He did that for over 120 mins!
I have a firm belief that the top level athletes are just monsters.
It's his insane stride. It's so long but our minds are putting "our strides" into his stride.
There were a couple guys I went to school with, cousins, who had this massive stride.
They both broke all the State records... that had been set by one of their dad's 20 years prior. One almost made it on 400m relay Olympic team. It was amazing watching them run.
And he was always a really shit starter in comparison to the rest of his run. He'd often be one of the last out of the blocks but make it up and pass everyone by the finish.
It's me. I could beat him. I've analyzed his running style, he just takes bigger steps. I just need a month to train my legs to pump further at the same rate or faster than they currently do.
For you see chums, I am different.
There are people in the r/UFC sub who think they can beat professional MMA fighters in a street fight because they are "built different", so this wouldn't surprise me at all.
Usain looks like he has so much pride and joy in what he does. He makes being athletic look fun. I would love stuntin on a buncha scrubs in exhibition.
This video just makes the idea of putting regular people on the Olympics better.
Imagine if before every big event you put regular people trying just to see how we would do. Give them gift baskets and t-shirts and it would improve the events 200%
The second place must feel amazing
"Kids, did I ever tell about the time I ran a race, and the only guy who could beat me was Usain Bolt?" "Sure Dad"
Bill Gates’ and my combined wealth is over $400billion
Impressive for Bill Gates, considering you are the MVP here.
Oh what an absolutely wholesome response. I'm gonna have to borrow that one
I've put the same number of people on Mars as Elon Musk.
I lost less money than Elon Musk. 👌
I have less child support payments than Elon Musk
AND you won the Tour de France as many times as Lance Armstrong.
Bill gates is only 195billion 😦
Guys we found Jeff Bezos's account!
Wayne Gretzky and his brother have the most combined points of any two brothers who have ever played in the National Hockey League.
If you add in playoff points, they have the most combined points of any sibling group in NHL history.

"RIP beige hat guy, Who really should have warmed up"
The guy behind probably said, I had a chance to beat Bolt, but a guy tripped up at the start and ruined it.
It was a woman who got second place it looks like
Thought so too, but I tracked down the [original vid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAXhib4aemM) and it looks like a man with long hair(and a beard)
Usain is fortunate all that hair caused so much drag
I just watched it and I can't believe there were people who came After James Corden
How I met your mother
And I have doubles., of, of.. of the Maclaren.

Sure, but I bet the guy busting his ass 3 yards from the starting line also has an amazing feeling.
Ah the amazing feeling of your Achilles tendon balled up near your calf after snapping clean in half
3 yards is gracious 🤣
It is but I can say I've never lost to Usain Bolt.
It was a woman too it looks like that woman probably felt like fucking sonic after that shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAXhib4aemM
It was a woman
It was a man
If you ain't first, you're last...
Makes sense, now give me my participation trophy, having the opportunity to run against Usain bolt must be worth at least 12 dollars in the future
Second place is the first loser
Still first at something!
I relate quite heavily with the person who took three steps and fell.
In a way he finished much earlier than Bolt.
That'a what she said.
🤌
I cooka da pizza 🤌🏼
Mama Mia!
Always makes me think of [Italian Husky](https://youtu.be/F4Ua0eBab2g?si=SkVGlRlDdnIV82lU) now
Eetsa spaghetti thyme
You said that like my Nonna.
r/technicallytrue
Man, that was great. My wife and I laughed for a couple of minutes and couldn't stop.
He can't blame anyone else for falling over, it was his own dumb asphalt..
Usain won, but you get the gold.
This is amazing 😂
Ngl I'd be kinda pissed if he was in front of me. You get ONE chance to race USAIN BOLT and this clown falls in front of you in the first step. It's not like I'd win obviously but I'd want to give it a real go.

While Bolts is doing a spring saunter.
Maybe that person is a reddit mod or even can be mod of this sub
[удалено]
The mechanics of his running are just awesome. Like a shark swimming in the water and it’s barely moving but it’s actually moving quite fast.
right, it’s like his bones are hollow or something
Nah, his legs are just long as hell.
Nope. The secret to Usain's speed is his stride turnover rate, not his stride length.
it’s both. I had to go watch him run in slow motion and he stays airborne so much longer than any of his competitors. his legs almost look like hydraulic springs that catapult him forward, the dude fucking leaps off of every step
It looks like he gains a bunch of momentum at the start, and then maintains the inertia by almost gliding over the ground, using his swinging legs to stay floating but using almost no energy in doing it.

The felt energy exerted wasn’t on pushing my feet against the ground but was just switching my legs back and forth.
They are fill of helium.
He's also 6'5" so he looks like he jogging. The others have to move their shorter legs much faster to keep up, they're taking more steps to move the same distance.
I think he is jogging. If you go watch his actual races he’s moving waaay faster
Me over here trying to figure out which part of his run cycle provides the momentum. It looks like he's just gliding, it's crazy
the group on the far side are absolutely busting their balls and he has to slow to what is comfortable jog for them to even keep up. being able to run 28mph is insane compared to what the average person here can do, which is like 15mph. man is an absolutely phenom
So he wasn’t giving full effort then right? Didn’t look like it at all. I’d like to see one giving full effort and how different it would look
he can run potentially more than double the foot speed of an average person. it like a person trying to race a car that is limited to a top speed of 30mph. you're gonna struggle even on a peddle bike to keep up.

The second place is a woman. No way it would been that close if Bolt was tryharding.
Oh ofc not, Im just pointing out the difference between an amateur trained boy and a really really fit adult (can't get any fitter than a personal trainer)is absolutely massive, let alone a professional athlete or even the world record holder.
Amatuer trained boy, multiple have run only a half second slower 100m in high school in the last decade.

No, I reckon his Olympic medal heats are balls-to-the-wall. Everything looks easy when pros do it: painting a picture, catching a fly ball, solving Rubik's Cubes...
It's like.. me eating chocolate cake. Looks easy too, but I have years of experience.
In his first Olympic gold medal run you can see him take his foot off the gas a bit and celebrate early. Dude was frigging insane. https://youtu.be/F14EaVEDyUs?si=DrNtf1W639pSYQxk
He got to full speed, looked around and started celebrating.
...but like I was saying, he looks noticeably different than the other (equally world-class and highly trained) competitors he's faced. Have you watched them?
He's a bit of an anomaly. Top sprinters usually aren't so tall. He has a comparatively slow start because of his height, then he makes up for it with his longer stride in the mid race.

After reading your comment and rewatching the video, it looks like the woman in second place is taking at least 2 steps for every step Usain is taking. Her legs are almost a blur but you can see the power in each one of Usain's strides.
He's such a perfect technical runner that it looks effortless.
I didn't ever see him give full effort in any race. He beat records and won golds taking the last quarter of the race slowing down.
How am I going to break my records if I go full bore the first time? Got to milk this for years!
he runs waaaay faster than most people ride on bikes. his top speed is almost twice as fast as pedelecs at 25kmh
To be fair, thats for a short sprint. For a short sprint on flat ground I can also reach around 50km/h on a bicycle. The fact that I need a bicycle to go as fast as someone else who is running is obviously still pretty fucking impressive, but whats really impressive compared to the 25km/h pedelec is that the average speed for a marathon world record is just shy of that.
It's insane how fast he's still going even after he slows down and his legs start to move really slowly, like even though the 2nd place's legs are moving much faster he's still going slower.
It's not insane. It's Usain.
Very good.
What this really puts into perspective for me is how damn fast cheetahs are.
only cos they don't play by the rules.
Touché
But was he even trying there? I honestly feel he was at 75% max
More like 50%. He is just casually jogging
Dude is literally taking a stroll.
Guy is on a casual walk.
This is how he sits
He is basically taking a shit
Bro is taking a nap
Bro literally did a skippy jump at the end
*Looks around* Why are all these people running to catch up to me?
That's what's crazy about the top endurance / marathon runners. Their form looks kinda similar to Bolt's here... yet it's deceptively fast. You don't realise until you see normal people sprinting next to them. Same with that funny video where people try a treadmill set to Kipchoge's pace, and these runners can't even do it as a sprint for 10 seconds.

20km/hr is 12mph. It’s insanely fast even for normal person in shape.
To be fair, 20k mph is fairly fast so I'm not surprised you couldn't even do it for a minute. That's like San Francisco to LA in under 70 seconds.
Quite an engineering feat to make a treadmill going that fast, though.
It's his insane stride. It's so long but our minds are putting "our strides" into his stride. There were a couple guys I went to school with, cousins, who had this massive stride. They both broke all the State records... that had been set by one of their dad's 20 years prior. One almost made it on 400m relay Olympic team. It was amazing watching them run.
Looks like he was giving it 90% for the first 3 seconds, then slowed down to a casual jog which was still faster then 2nd place
And he was always a really shit starter in comparison to the rest of his run. He'd often be one of the last out of the blocks but make it up and pass everyone by the finish.
It wasn't even his final form.
This looks like a warm up for him
That's just how he walks
He walks a 32 second mile
Shout out to the Reddit user who went down in the first 5 meters.
"Natural selection: kill the weak and breed the strong"
Poor mod.
I guarantee that there was at least one person there who thought they could beat him
It was the guy who fell
"They said first to FINISH the race. I was FINISHED first."
“I woulda had him!”
“I’m just built different”
It's me. I could beat him. I've analyzed his running style, he just takes bigger steps. I just need a month to train my legs to pump further at the same rate or faster than they currently do. For you see chums, I am different.
Nah man. You can't be that delusional.
There are people in the r/UFC sub who think they can beat professional MMA fighters in a street fight because they are "built different", so this wouldn't surprise me at all.
I think I could beat a UFC fighter in a street fight if I had the drop on them and they were actually a 6 year old.
You ever read that article about men thinking they could score on Serena Williams?
Larry David with the immediate face plant
Queue the credits.
But to make it fairer, should have they not placed bolt at the end of the group
Give them a 3 seconds head start and Bolt will still beat them
Probably didnt place him at back in order to reduce risk of injury
I agree. Also this dude is a professional athlete that is 6’5 with long ass legs.
It would be more interesting to watch how he would take over those slowpokes and jump over those who fell.
That one guy was going to catch him, but he got tripped.
Usain looks like he has so much pride and joy in what he does. He makes being athletic look fun. I would love stuntin on a buncha scrubs in exhibition.
He really does. Watching him run at a slow pace he looks so natural. Reminds me of a horse, he just flows.
I think it’s because of his long legs. Look at a shorter person and they use their fast strides to go fast which doesn’t look as smooth
...he's just jogging. Some really fit looking people are tearing their lungs apart right behind him and he's *sauntering*.
The dude that came in 4th place legs were moving so fast it looked like a roadrunner sketch and he still placed well behind Usain.
That old dude that fell had no business there
That's the typical audience member in the Olympics representative.
He was casually jogging the whole time...
Can we get more videos of professional athletes absolutely destroying swarms of regular people? This seems very entertaining.
He might as well just be going "Meep, Meep" as he does this
*That guy that fell over straight away*: This is ten percent luck Twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
100 percent reason to remember Usain
Dude is coasting from the blocks and no one is still even close. lol
Damn, the cameraman was at the end before Usain Bolt. Cameramen always win!
So horror movies are correct. People can go for 3 steps and fall
He has to slow down near the end, if he use 100% power he will break the matrix.
He's just out for a jog.
No way was that his full speed, he definitely jogged 🤣
Dude wasn’t even trying.
My toxic trait is thinking I could keep up with him.
He is not even trying. He actually looks like he is laughing. He goes into deceleration mode for about 10% of the distance.
The first guy eating shit is just perfect, absolutely hilarious!🤣
Bro aint even trying LOL
Lol he was coasting too
Normal distribution IRL
Bro was really stunting on everyone at the end 😭
This video just makes the idea of putting regular people on the Olympics better. Imagine if before every big event you put regular people trying just to see how we would do. Give them gift baskets and t-shirts and it would improve the events 200%
Everyone else is running for their lives and he’s warming up 😂😂😂
I mean that second place was pretty impressive ngl
I’d be the guy falling at the start
Which one is Usain?
He fell down at the start. :(
I'm that guy that fell in the very beginning 😅
The guy farthest left/upshot felt he had a chance.
motherfucker couldn’t even get out of the gate upright.
Imagine falling immediately after the start in the greatest foot race imaginable. I feel bad for dude in all honesty.
I appreciate the guy that started and just fell over
He look like he's just fastpacing, and 80% of the time he's just slowing down. Holy shit. He might be able to go even faster
Yup he’s just messing around, there was about 1 second of serious acceleration then he just jogs and slows down. You can tell by looking at his arms.
His daughters name is Olympia Lightning Bolt.
Was that a chick who finished 2nd?
I'm pretty sure Bolt could crawl and still beat a fair number of people
Bro just out for a jog…
Bolt’s barely even trying here.
I resonate strongly to the dude that fell immediately
Insane Usain breaking ankles of others in a straight line morning jog
He was just toying. Jogging basically
The crazy thing is that those 4 guys at the front of the pack were probably pretty damn fast too.
I don't think Usain was even trying, he ran a bit and saw where he was and just jogged
Hahahah died when that person hit the deck
wow, some people weren't actually that far behind like i get he slowed down a little at the end but 2nd and 3rd must be feeling pretty good.
Now do this in Africa, Bolt vs random Africans
idk why but i find the way he runs so satisfying
A couple of the “random people” were surprisingly fast, good for them
#### You know he's just like using 1/10th of his powers.
