So much for a new generation of paths and stars on the field.
On Thursday, just a day since the beginning 2025 World External Number and Championship field At the National Stadium in Tokyo, the world of 100 meters and 200-meters in Usain Bolt said during the event For puma not to believe that the current Sprinters crop has what it takes to chase after his global marks.
Of course, the world’s undisputed fastest man in history can talk about a conversation.
World-Record Times Wild 9.58 over 100 meters and 19.19 seconds over 200 meters have stood a firm in the last 16 years. Only his colleague Jamaica Peer, Asafa Powell, has since been really approaching, publishing the time of 9.69 and 19.26 in 2012. and 2011, ranking no. 3 and no. 2 and no. 2 in history. The American Sprinter Tyson Gay launched an American record of 969 per month after Bolt violated the World Record in 2009. years.
Bolt post-career is quite clear on Thursday.
“I think it’s talent there,” he said. “Talented athletes come and they will be fine. But at the present moment, I don’t see any athletes able to break the record, so it doesn’t care.”

Who could potentially persecute records of bolt for coercion for the World Cup 2025. years
So, are some current athletes ready to eat their words on the worlds?
Still not holding your breath yet. Like in most years, men 100 meters could be reduced in a solid between us and Jamaican athletes, from American stars such as Noah Liles and Kenna Bednarek, at Jamaikans Kishane Thompson and osille Seville. However, no, however, is approaching the bolt time testing record.
Neither the Olympic and World Champion Liles was not perfect or 2025. years. In fact, they beat him and Thompson and The shaped Sevilla in August– That in his return to the former in Poland, Liles ran at the best time of a season of 9.90 seconds over 100 meters.
What is the 28-year-old Lila for him is victory at the American Championships over 200 meters. There beat Bednarek in the tense race that saw a physical conflict In the finish line – Visconsin Domorodac pushed Liles some improving Following performance. What’s more, Liles is the third best time over 200 meters, with a career for the best of time from 19.31 from the World Cup 2022. years on the charts, only behind Blake and Screws. That performance was given by the American record Michael Johnson from 1996. years.
If anyone will break the bolt records this year, it may be lila.
But again, let’s not forget about Bednorek. There is no doubt that the 26-year-old had the best career season, in career the best 9.79 seconds in a 100 meters win at the American Championship. But there is currently a sense that Liles or Thompson or Seville in a global environment is not winning, he did not do that next jump as a global superstar.
If someone beat Liles to their game, it may be a 24-year-old Thompson. In fact, Jamaica may be a man to win over 100 meters.
He ran in her career in June – the best time of 9.75 seconds at the Jamaica Championship, giving the performance that lands in no. 5 At all timers. Several athletes, either, was either a little athletes, either physicality of Thompson. Jamaican stands solid 6-foot – 1 inches and mirrors is the best of Jamaica Sprinthes over the years.
The same cannot be said about Seville, which will be able to clock in about 5 feet-7 inches. But you don’t mistake the lack of physical makeup sevies for talent. The 24-year-old has won some really large races in 2025, including the battle of Diamond League – Although he lost Thompson at the Jamaica Jamae Championship at the Jamaica Jamae Championship at the Jamaveni Championship at the Jamaveni Championship at the Jamaveni Championships Jamaica Championships.

How fast will the best men in world recording.
All this returns us back to the bolt, whose forecast deserved.
It became more clear that what Imamian legend ended 16 years ago at the World Cup in Berlin was outside the approach and will demand Hercules effort.
That’s said, that doesn’t mean that his labels are physically impossible to repeat. With the advancement of footwear technology and a better foam in the whole, it’s just a matter of time before history is made.
The only question is whether the current crop has what it takes.
The screw, for what’s worth, he says it’s pretty sure they don’t. Time will tell more than nine days in Tokyo.
“Everything develops in life,” he said during the event. “People who try to improve, trying to become faster. It will not be a surprise if it actually happens.”
