His 50m in 5.45 and 60m in 6.29 are well beyond the official world indoor records (5.56 and 6.34). His 3.73 now makes him a clear leader on the all-time list which contains half a dozen of men in 3.77 or 3.78. Prior to Tokyo he already shared the fastest 30m ever recorded in 3.76 with Christian Coleman and Maurice Greene. Su (1.72m tall) was already known as a phenomenal starter. In an extraordinary race by Su Bingtian, he beat the pace of Usain Bolt’s world record up to 60m (6.29 vs 6.31). ![]() But one result from the semifinal is perhaps even more impressive for track nerds. Improving twice an Area Record in major champs didn’t happen since high altitude Games in Mexico 1968 with Jamaican Lennox Miller for Central America & Caribbean. The final 2 times were also new European Records. LaMonte Jacobs broke his PB (9.96) in each round, 9.94, 9.84 and 9.80, to get the Olympic title in Tokyo. The relationship between max velocity and acceleration To get on the podium is even more difficult as shown by Shericka Jackson’s 10.76 for bronze, the best ever mark for 3rd place in a 100m race. While sub10 and sub11 were necessary to reach the podium during the early 2000s, this is now required to just make the final over the last decade and Tokyo confirmed this trend. The standard of competition also reached new levels. While no official world records were set, Su Bingtian ran the fastest times ever recorded between 10 and 60m in men’s semi final, and Elaine Thompson’s result of 10.61 is the fastest 100m ever into the wind (-0.6). The long-awaited Tokyo Olympics displayed one of the highest standards ever in sprinting, in both men and women contests. Making the Olympic final is harder than ever » Learn more: PJ Vazel presents on the history and evolution of sprint training methods in HMMR Classroom Video Lesson 27. Below are some insights on overall performance levels, how well maximum velocity and acceleration correlate, top speed, speed loss, race modeling, and more. Behind the historic performances is a treasure trove of data that helps look in more detail at the event, learn about it, and identify the latest trends in sprinting. Within the athletics program, the men’s and women’s 100 meters were the in the spotlight. ![]() As always, the whole world was focused on athletics this summer at the Tokyo Olympics took place. ![]()
