10) Michael Johnson: At one time, Johnson held two world records. However, neither one was the 100-meter record so he can’t be faster than the other sprinters on the list.
9) Donovan Bailey: Long forgotten, Bailey once held the world 100 record which at the time was 9.84. Plus, he beat Johnson head to head in the infamous 150-meter race.
8) Maurice Greene: During his heyday, Greene won four Olympic medals, was a five-time World Champion and held the 100 world record at 9.79. He currently holds the 60-meter world indoor record at 6.39.
There will never be a woman faster than Flo-Jo — NEVER
7) Florence Griffith-Joyner: Before anyone questions how Flo-Jo makes the list, you should question how doesn’t she? Griffith-Joyner’s world record of 10.49 will never be broken — EVER. By the way, she also has the 200 record at 21.34.
6) Carl Lewis: Lewis is one of the greatest Olympic performers of all-time but I don’t care about that. His 9.86 100 and 19.75 200 is all that matter for this list. Lewis was so fast that when Ben Johnson defeated him in 1988 at the Seoul Games, everyone suspected Johnson to be on roids. And you know what? He was.
5) Tommie Smith: Most people know Tommie Smith from his gloved fist salute on the medal stand in Mexico City. But what many may not know is that he set seven individual world records during his career.
4) Tyson Gay: Gay’s 9.69 is second only to Bolt and is a new American record and his 19.58 200-meters is third fastest ever. He recently became the first sprinter ever to run under 10 seconds in the 100, 20 seconds in the 200 and 45 seconds in the 400.
3) Justin Gatlin: Before a doping suspension took four years of his career away from him, Gatlin was the fastest man in the world. He won six consecutive NCAA titles — in TWO seasons — as a collegian and tied the world record of 9.77 in 2006. He returned from his suspension in 2010 to win the 2012 World Indoor Championships in the 60-meters (6.46) and a bronze in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games (9.79). Gatlin also became the first American to win a medal in three Olympics after his silver in the Rio Games in 2016.
2) Jesse Owens: Owens won the Berlin Games, the 100 in 10.3 and the 200 in 20.7. Not impressive times until you consider that they were ran in 1936 in dirt. You put Owens on a synthetic track, with blocks, weight training and lighter spikes, he would easily run under a 9.7.
1) Usain Bolt: Bolt’s individual Olympics came to a close on August 18, 2016 as the only person in the history of Athletics to win three consecutive 100 and 200-meter Olympic gold medals. 9.58 100; 19.19 200; 14.35 150 — all world records. Want further proof of his greatness? In 2013 Bolt became the only man to ever become three-time 200 World Champion. No one has ran faster and probably never will. EVER!
CDreamz 
I think Frank Fredericks should also be on this list!
I can also make an argument for Dwain Chambers (performance enhancer and all) but I don’t know if either him or Fredericks could have beaten the men in every one’s prime; accept for Michael Johnson who wasn’t a true 100-meter sprinter. I may revise the list either after the worlds in September but most definitely after the Olympics next year.
There will be a women faster than Flo-Jo!
Then where is she?
BO JACKSON BEATS THEM ALL !!!!
bo jacksons slower then peyton manning
Bull crap bo Jackson is slower than Adrian petterson
No he doesn’t
bo jackson is one of the fastest football players in the history of the game.
yep
Bo is not even a world class sprinter.
nothing but speculation…
are you guys stupid? bo jackson runs 4.13 40 yard dash
I think m farh is bound to be on the list
How do u think will win Mo farh or Usain bolt
bo jackson is bad. usain bolt clearly is fast in the 100m and he 200m… You’re just hella fucking salty
If you say the fastest man of all time, i vote for The Syrian Gazelle Boy
50 kph sprinter
Yes Frank Fredericks was he less Usain Bolt he beat them all I shall love to see him.
exactly the point….. frank fredericks
Wheres Mack Robinson? He came second place to Jesse Owens. ( Hes Jackie Robinsons older brother. )
I would never say never to any record being broken. Hell. I could have possibly run faster than Bolt’s current record had I pursued a career in track and field. I ran just under 11.00 in the 100 meters while in HS. 10th grade. No pass; no play. Freaking math. Oh well. I’m 43 now and well over 200lbs Lol. It was all a dream.
You have got to be kidding with all the never to be broken records! In time all will be broken.
Bob Hayes was the fastest 100 yard dash man of all time, and one of the fastest humans of all time in anybodys book.
I a
HE IS THE BEST ! From ROB BOULTON in CORNWALL
HE IS THE BEST
I’m still partial to Jesse Owens but no doubt Bolt will go down as the G.O.A.T in sprinting lure.
You credit Jesse Owens with a 10.3. That was his gold medal time in the final of the 1936 Olympic 100 meters. But remember he ran a semifinal heat in 10.2! Admittedly, Usain Bolt appears to be unbeatable but Jesse would have given him a run for his money.
Appreciate you commenting Joe. And thank you for the reminder. Both times are ridiculous for, well, the time.
DOSE ANYONE REMEMBER “THE BULLET” AKA BOB HAYES, WHO RAN A 10.06 IN THE DIRT…HE REPORTLY RAN A 8sec. ANCHOR LEG IN THE 4×100؛ WITHOUT THE TECHNOLOGY OF TODAY….IF YOU PUT FLO-JO ON THE LIST, WILMA RUDOLPH… ijs
drugs
My only problem with this list is having at least one convicted drug cheat (Gatlin) on there and a probable second one (Griffith-Joyner). And don’t forget Jesse Owens set two world records in less than an hour when he was competing in the Big Ten Championships.
Until proven with absolute certainity that Flo-Jo was on some type of performance enhancer, everything else is pure speculation and we have to give her the benefit of a doubt.
Fact number one — Gatlin paid the price for his transgression. That squares him insofar as the governing body of the sport is concerned (obviously not good enough for you). Fact number two — Flo Jo was chemically tested and passed. Surely that has to count for something. Granted, we’re all entitled to our opinions, but some measure of substance certainly does help distinguish those views with meaning from those that are so much clutter.
Yes your right Chris…Griffith-Joyner wasn’t on performance enhancing drugs, but looked like a man, ran like a man and died shortly after. Don’t need a drug test..that’s says it all. Doesn’t deserve to be on the list..at all.
I forgot about former Dallas Cowboy and Hall of Famer Bob Hayes. Hayes ran a wind-aided 9.91 in 1964. He also held multiple world records at one time. He was nicknamed “Bullet” for a reason.
yohan blake is better than jesse owens
yasss someone agrees
Yohan Blake was a cheat….he tested positive for a stimulant called 4-methyl-2-hexanamine!!
But Bolt is the fastest man on the planet you cant argue
you think u r expert but i think “YOHAN BLAKE” is best than Jesse Ownes!
Yohan Blake was a cheat….he tested positive for a stimulant called 4-methyl-2-hexanamine!!
Having 4-methyl-2-hexanamine (a substance found in certain vitamin supplements and cough medicines, not even on the Wada banned list) in ones system, is not the same as dilberately using steroids you dumb fuck!
ya man bolt will break his both world records in 2013 world championships
I’m going to respond to both of your comments with one single swoop.
1) You need to really study Jesse Owens first. Then let’s have that discussion.
2) I think Bolt has reached his peak honestly. I don’t think he can run any faster in the short sprints. However, he should be contending for the 400 world record title.
I am from Jamaica like Usain Bolt so I am on his team
Where is yohan blake?
I respect Yohan. The crucial factor is that Yohan just so happen to come around during the Bolt era. Everyone else was Pre-Bolt in essence. Although he ran fast, he was still second. If he’s still running fast after Bolt retires, then I’ll add him to the list. Can’t do it now.
The same goes with Asafa Powell. Asafa had the world record for a second but I can’t even put him in an honorable mention list because he never got it done when it counted — the Olympics. Even during his world record moment, Tyson was still faster.
It’s great to see a lot of you fans of Yohan. Follow him on twitter at @YohanBlake. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.
I think there is never be a person faster than me and there is a person faster than Usain Bolt!
The Top Ten List is out there for a reason, because it’s accurate!
Usain Bolt is totally the fastest human in the history of the first day jesus was born you can tell usain bolt is the best EVER!!!!!! Responce by Drake Thomas and fu– yohan blake when has he ever made history? Huh lets see NEVER!!!!!!!
Usain Bolt is totally the fastest human in the history of the first day jesus was born you can tell usain bolt is the best EVER!!!!!! Responce by Drake Thomas and fu– yohan blake when has he ever made history? Huh lets see NEVER!!!!!!! P.S. Why do you respect such lame people?
Yohan Blake should also be in the list , may be not updated.
Well Jesse Owens could be faster than Usain Bolt as he ran on dirt .
I agree with you on Owens. Pre-Bolt, Owens was always numero uno, As much as I love James Cleveland, I don’t really believe he would beat Bolt today. When Bolt was at his peak (2008-09) and running all out, it isn’t happening.
Bolt is simply the best – which legs ‘ll u use 2 beat his records? No one can !
no one can ever replace bolt he is just the best and will always be
No one can ever beat the record of Usain Bolt, he is the best of all…
News flash the second fastest man alive to date in recorded history over the 100m hundred and over the 200m is Yohan Blake of Jamaica.
Houston Mctear
very impressive
so Florence Griffith-Joyner is the on the list because she is a woman ? xD… i thought it is fastest “Human Beings” lolz….
You must place on the list the fastest based only on the timing and forget the rest.
so what if ben johnson was on roids… the thing is everyone was on roids but he is the only one that got caught
you does not say usain bolt is fastest
I don’t think there will ever be someone like usain bolt ……he came into this world for a purpose so I am sure this is want he was destined for …..9.58sc.
No I’m destined to be the fastest
he is truely the fastest.
just as in usain bolt is also is in ronaldo.
I can’t find Ronaldo, it has 11 cripplings and has the most cripplings of any football player, with 11. I also have 14 cripplings, which is the most cripplings of any person, both breaks 10 cripplings.
Usian bolt really is the worlds fastest runner
Usain Bolt is the former fastest runner.
Imagine what it would be like to be Tyson Gay. Knowing that you can out run every person on the entire planet but one person. No matter what you do. You will aways be number 2.
l will be the fastest in the whole world
Usian Bolt runs at 33mph so yeah he is the fastest man alive today but I am sure someone will be able to beat him in the near future heck that someone could very well be a kid or maybe there is someone is faster but does not care he noes it and that what matters.
Fool anybody out there that “doesn’t care” would never be faster then Usain Bolt. These guys are that fast because they are gifted and practice like no other… If you didn’t care you would not practice and I don’t care how gifted you are, it wouldn’t be enough.
I WILL BE THE WORL,D FASTEST MAN…….. AND I WILL BREAK DOWN YOUR RECORD BOLT………….
Usain Bolt is the world fastest runner of the world because he consentrate only on his speed and accelaratiion.
I always want to become fastest man of the earth.
Yohan Blake?
I Have a confidence ,,,, that ii beat uu bolt..
………
if Gareth Bale was an athlet he could have run faster than bolt.
Bob Hayes, man!!!
Tommie Smith was one of the fastest over 200 meters, not 100 meters, his fastest 100 meter time was a hand timed 10.1 seconds. Jim Hines and Charlie Greene ran 9.9 manually and 10.03 10.09 FAT respectively at the “Night of Speed” in 1968 and were the 2 most dominant 100 yd/meter sprinters in the mid to late 60’s the greatest era in sprinting history. With the exception of the Olympic Trials @ Echo Summitt Lake Tahoe and Mexico City, all their races were on dirt/cinder tracks. Both equalled Bob Hayes 100 yd record of 9.1 seconds, with Hines setting the low altitude 100 meter record of 9.9/10.03 which stood for 12 years b/4 James Sanford of USC broke it at the USC/UCLA dual meet at UCLA in May 1980 in a time of 10.02 on UCLA’s synthetic track. Also if you are going to include Owens in this discussion, then you also have to include Eulace Peacock, his nemesis who split with Owens on head to head confrontations with 5 a piece (see SI long form http://www.si.com/longform/peacock/). Finally with regards to Flo-Jo not testing positive Marion Jones didn’t test positive either. Her EPO test was determined to be negative on Sept. 6, 2006
Good one for all these people. What of juan blake??? Where is he? And @ what position is he?
when I will participate any game than I will break the all records in world(social beat usain bolt)
when I will participate any game than I will break the all records in world(special beat usain bolt)
You just beat everybody for world’s dumbest poster by posting a duplicate post here.
I beat all of them…..(in my dreams!!)
don’t say it then
what about aubameyang
Watch out. 3 years ago Jesse De Grasse had never ran a race. Now he’s breaking records and getting his interviews crashed by Usain Bolt. This young buck keeps getting faster and faster. I expect his World bronze from this year will move to a close silver at next years Olympics. He will peak 2 olympics from now when I suspect he’ll catch some of the big dog’s records.
gatlin is nothin compared to bolt
I’m faster
I’m faster than all of these people
At 236 u must have been high,lol
There will be no point of watching track&feild without flying bolt
Great list but to leave Bob Hayes n (seriously ) Jim thorpe off list is ridiculous. Joyner was great selection as well as inclusion Jesse. Should have used same logic with the before mentioned duo.
This is a very “interesting” list. 😂😂
I officially and strongly faster than you!
I agree^
I still officially faster than all other persons! It also makes the world’s strongly fastest person ever, but it is official!
^
I will be the secondperson to win back-to-back 100 and 200-meter Olympic gold medals. 100m: 8.60, 200m: 17.76, 150m: 13.65
I run faster than Usain!!!
your all wrong bullet bob hayes is
You are correct
i will break your record
awesom he is
Notice how women don’t even make it in the top 3, thanks patriarchy.
R they faster then men? What a stupid comment! Joyner made it for her dominance, n rightfully so.
Bolt the name says it all. The fastest man in the world!!!
Carl Lewis was a great athlete, but I saw a program on Drugs in Sports on which the person who was responsible for notifying the US athletes if they had tested positive, prior to the games, produced a letter he had written to Carl Lewis, notifying him that he had tested positive. He passed the drug test at the games, and won the gold, only when Ben Johnson failed a test for doping. Where is the justice in that? And why are we testing at all? Clean seams to be a matter of timing.
Put Ikechukwu Success On The List
Usain Bolt is still the man.
I will i train every day and one day it will be noticed
i will becausd i train everyday
I know he’s a soccer player but Gareth Bale is really fast
Asafa Powell should’ve made it.
Bo, Dione and Darell green are the fastest non track and athletes ever but they couldn’t push these guys. It would be a race but not that close.
There is no doubt that he will go down in history as the fastest Human ever lived.
My brother was the first and only women which is faster than Florence Griffith Joyner. I also the first men which is faster than Usain Bolt! I also the only person to break 15 m/s and reach 1000 or more m/min! I also the only person to reach 1 or more km/min, 3000 or more ft/min, 60 or more km/h or 50 or more ft/s!
Your brother was the fastest woman in the world huh…… The only thing you are good at is bad English my friend. Stop embarrassing yourself.
really wish gatlin was the fastest literaly he even beat bolt ones
I guess no one realize that Michael Johnson was the fastest man alive for a period of time in terms average speed over a given distance in meters/ sec. 19.32/2=9.66 in a 100 meters. No one had run that time until Usain came along. So technically if someone runs 19.15 in the 200m in the near future(Wade Van Neikerk “just saying”)they would be the fastest person alive. 9.58 * 2 =19.16
cause people cheated on a game show and got a extremely powerful air blaster to propel him across the track. so Gatlin never beat bolt. the only person that has ever beat bolt is Coleman
But anyway that is irrelevant cause that was not in the race but in the race Coleman beat bolt and Gatlin beat bolt. but Gatlin won cause he used 2 drugs plus bolt is old so he is getting slower and there is a difference if you lose one little race and the world record. bolt set the world record that no human on the planet has ever beat which is 44.72 KM/H

Fact checked he is the second fastest person in the world both in 100&200 with a time of 9.69&19.26 respectively

You omit Bob Hayes who ran an 8.6 second 100 meter relay leg in the 64 Olympics. Probably the fastest ever ran.
Incredible …I Wish I Could Run Like Boult
Doping…
I wil beat usain bolts record inshllah Amean
The writer did not include Asafa Powel a former world record holder of the 100 m time 9.77 and yowan Blake Olympic champion.
How could you not include Bob Hayes on the list. Many of the modern athletes are questionable because of suspected drug use. I hope Bolt is never proven to have used drugs. It would be disheartening.
I can’t just believe it the record is broken today but his a legend

wow that is so cool. so of the guys in comments says the can do it. but when it comes to international pressure you guys certainly cannot do it
Thanks a lot! This is an astounding web page.
I like perusing your web sites. thnx!

Given the track that they ran on and the wind resistant equipment now, compared to what Bob Hayes had, there is no way Bolt could beat Hayes. Given the differences stated, you would have to allow for at least a 8th of a second for cinder vs synthetic track. Spikes would be another 10th and probably .075 for streamlined gear. That Turns Bob Hayes’ 10.0 to a 9.7, Bob wins, game over.
