Usain Bolt's 9.58 vs Every Fastest 100m Since 1896

Every year from 1896 to today, here's the all-time men's 100m top 10, measured against Usain Bolt's 9.58 world record from Berlin in 2009. You'll see Thomas Burke's 1896 Olympic run, Jesse Owens, Jim Hines breaking 10 seconds, the switch to electronic timing in 1977, then Carl Lewis, Maurice Greene and Asafa Powell, up to Bolt rewriting the record books. Over 100 meters, Owens would finish about 6 meters behind Bolt. Who's next? Comment your 100m PR 👇 Times before 1977 are hand-timed, and from 1977 the list uses electronic times only. Doping-annulled marks aren't included. Sources: World Athletics record progression and alltime-athletics.com.
