The sprinters' breathtaking records are strongly influenced by personalities like Usain Bolt, who went down in history with 9.58 seconds in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. These times mark the upper end of sprinting performance and set the benchmark for future generations like them World Athletics shows:

German records in sprints
A lot has also changed in Germany when you look at the record lists. Owen Ansah currently holds the German record over 100 meters with a time of 9.99 seconds, which he achieved on June 29, 2024 in Braunschweig. This shows how strong the sprint in Germany still is and that new talents like those from TSG Oederan could potentially soon join the same ranks.
