Top 10 Basic 100m Men's Rankings 2021

I should have Omurwa and Greene switched in order, I usually put the better raw performance first, and those with elevation second. Will fix it next update.

Change of heart, you are doing what I do with my "All Time Grambling 100m", etc etc, you are spending the time and looking to widen others horizons. I was wrong to be an A hole over it. apologize.

Now I have a question for you....

When converting old 100 yard dash times. What would a 9.1 be, since all the cats who ran that also cooked a 10,02-10.07 so would 10,05 be assurate? A 10.15 for a 9,2, 10,25 for 9.3?

Appreciate these rankings, SG.

Simbine for Bronze is a call I’ll make now

Pro tip: never trust a time out of South Africa.

Update 2 - April 21

1. Simbine 9.86 - 9.99 (-3.0) 1274m

2. Baker 10.01 - 9.94 (1.4)

3. Martin 10.02 - 9.94 (1.6)

4. Gatlin 10.05 - 9.98 (1.4)

4. Azamati-Kwaku 10.05 - 9.97 (1.5)

6. DeGrasse 10.06 - 9.99 (1.4)

6. King 10.06 - 9.97 (1.9)

8. Greene10.07 - 10.01 (1.2)

9. Kerley 10.08 - 10.03 (1.0)

9. Su 10.08 - 10.05 (0.6)

New appearances on the list are Martin at #3 in 10.02 with his excellent win in Gainesville, and ADG tied for 6th at 10.06 in his season-opening sub-10.

BAM 💥 Martin exploding into the #3 spot! Who?😂

Greene improves by 0.02 and maintains his #8 ranking.

Omurwa and Browning are displaced from the top-10.

Big guns are now 5 of the top-10, and it’s not yet May. Still only Simbine sub-10, with his questionable clocking.

Update 3 - April 21

1. Bromell 10.00 - 10.01 (-0.2)

2. Baker 10.01 - 9.94 (1.4)

3. Martin 10.02 - 9.94 (1.6)

4. Simbine 10.03 - 9.99 (0.2) 1274m

5. Gatlin 10.05 - 9.98 (1.4)

5. Azamati-Kwaku 10.05 - 9.97 (1.5)

7. DeGrasse 10.06 - 9.99 (1.4)

7. King 10.06 - 9.97 (1.9)

9. Greene10.07 - 10.01 (1.2)

10. Kerley 10.08 - 10.03 (1.0)

*. Simbine 9.86 - 9.99 (-3.0) 1274m

*. Kerley 10.01 - 9.91 (2.0)

*. Su 9.92 - 9.98 (-0.9)

BROMELL vaults into the lead, only just, with his well-executed 10.01 ftw.

Some housekeeping, Simbine's questionable clocking removed from the top spot, too much wind, would have been illegal wind if it had been a tailwind, and an unreasonably big basic PB.. Outside normal bounds. His next-best performance this year lands him in an excellent 4th spot.

Kerley's 9.91 clocking is held in abeyance as of now, verification is needed. The perfect wind-driven huge PB is suspicious because of the wind.

Su's blistering sub-10 into the headwind is not yet on the official list, as it doesn't yet appear on the IAAF page. Hopefully soon, that sprint was epic.

What a weekend!

Do you think we’ll see Divine Oduduru back running sub 10/20?

Crap, the date should read April 25! Mods!

Oduduru, who knows. He has some great 200m clockings, and may round into form. Sub-20 would not surprise me

Kerley 100m makes sense he'd been running 10.0x with low wind so a 9.91 with perfect wind and a good race seemed likely.

There has been many sprint races this year a +2 wind is likely to appear eventually.

Update 4 - May 1

1. Bromell 9.95 - 9.88 (1.5)

2. Baker 10.01 - 9.94 (1.4)

4. Simbine 10.03 - 9.99 (0.2) 1274m

*. Kerley 10.01 - 9.91 (2.0)

*. Su 9.92 - 9.98 (-0.9)

BROMELL proving that he can run better with a tailwind than into a headwind, improving his world-leading 10.00 basic by 0.05 to 9.95–and the timing was good👍.

Excellent sprint. Other spots remain the same, for now...

I see a 9.84basic at the Olympics or trials for him.Somthing like a 9.80 with a .9 wind

I’m sorry, but the 100m dash is racist. We know that any policy that results in racial inequality is racist by definition.

I don’t see any equity here for many IPOCs and Caucasians.

Please present an equitable list.

Su’s time is on worldathletics now and isnt nearly as suspicious as Simbine’s IMO.

Yep I saw that, going to let it sit the weekend.

As for racist, absolutely it’s racist. It’s all about racing😁

Good info. Thank You for doing.

Great post! Thanks.

Jonas Mureika, of 100 m Wind / Altitude Adjustment Calculator fame (

https://jmureika.lmu.build/track/wind/index.html

), has mentioned on T&FN message boards that the higher the wind is, the less accurate the calculated adjustment is.

That could be throwing off the Simbine mark with the -3.0 wind.

BTW, there might be another variable to control, I do not know if it is the model shown in this topic below , but "superspikes" may be in usage.https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=10552046#10553474 Yesterday, during the World Relays, a member of the 4x100m French relay team had to remove them just before the race after an inspection, as they were deemed illegal.www.lequipe.fr/Athletisme/Actualites/Mouhamadou-fall-perturbe-par-un-changement-de-chaussures-juste-avant-le-4x100-m-des-relais-mondiaux/1248390

Here is an article behind a hard paywall, but the last paragraph is indeed interesting :

Hey sprintgezzer add micah Williams to the list 9.97 basic.

2. Bromell 9.95 - 9.88 (1.5)

4. Baker 10.01 - 9.94 (1.4)

5. Martin 10.02 - 9.94 (1.6)

SU demolishes the field and rockets into the #1 position with his sub-10 INTO A HEADWIND, in one of the most remarkable exhibitions of 100m excellence I have ever seen. He said he fatigued toward the end of the race, no wonder--the power he was putting to the track was incredible.

Meantime, Williams takes over the #3 spot at a serious 10-flat, with his 10.03, also into a headwind. He destroyed everyone else in his heat in an excellent 10.03, aided by 757m of elevation in Tucson.

ADG is now in danger of dropping from the list, tied for the last spot. The surprising Kerley is now just off, sitting at #12.

With Williams now in the #3 spot, 40% of the list is "new guys", and 60% big names.

Big weeks coming up!
