Usain Bolt’s 100m World Record in Berlin 2009 | World Athletics Championships

A breakdown of Usain Bolt’s historic 9.58 performance in Berlin, capturing the precision, power, and race dynamics that produced the fastest 100 meters ever recorded.

Summary

This 18-minute feature revisits the 2009 World Championships final where Usain Bolt shattered the 100m world record with a 9.58 run. The video sets the stage with the electric atmosphere inside Berlin’s Olympiastadion, highlighting how the pressure was immense, the field was stacked, and the world was watching for another seismic Bolt moment. Analysts and commentators walk through the pre-race narrative: Bolt’s dominance since Beijing, expectations on Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell, and the growing belief that another record was within reach.

The breakdown covers Bolt’s mechanics in detail: his explosive first steps, his exceptional top-end speed, and his unmatched ability to maintain velocity when competitors typically fade. Commentators dissect the phases of his race, noting how he reached full stride earlier than anyone else and carried extraordinary relaxation through the final meters. The video includes athlete reactions, technical analysis, and the emotional fan response as the stadium erupted when 9.58 flashed on the clock.

Post-race segments examine Bolt’s legacy and the scientific context behind his speed. Experts discuss the biomechanics, training discipline, and competitive ruthlessness required to produce a time still untouched more than a decade later. The video closes with reflections on how Berlin became the defining moment of Bolt’s sprint career, a performance that rewrote global expectations for human speed and solidified his status as a once-in-history athlete.
