Marcell Jacobs from Italy the new worlds fastest man?

Did everyone hear about him winning the 100m dash record that hasn’t been broken since 2004.

Is he the new bearer of the fastest man title? Or does it still stick with Usain Bolt over his accomplishments done during the 2000s? Anyone really keep up and understand the culture of who the claim to being the fastest would go to?

holding a record =/= being the current fastest man alive

He's the fastest man in the world. Bolt was the reigning Olympic champ from 2016, except he retired a while ago, and there are world championships every other year, which ought to grant this title. I think the Olympics are thought of as more important, so I am not sure how often people say "fastest man in the world" after world championships.

Bolt ran in the 2017 WC and finished 3rd. He did not compete in the 2019 WC. He won the 2016 Olympics.

From what I read it was a shocker, so if you had them race again he probably wouldn't win again. 2 months ago Trayvon Bromell ran a 9.77, but he didn't make the finals, so does he has a claim to it since he ran a faster time?

Maybe but he didn't compete so we'll never know. Whoever wins the Olympic 100m is the "world's fastest man/woman". It's been like that for years. Not just something they are pulling out of their ass because a nobody won.

Wind-adjusted, the 9.80 +0.1 is faster than 9.77 +1.5.

The competition counts for the title, not the record.

Jacobs' 9.80 +0.1 makes him the 8th fastest man, all time, by adjusted record times. (Bolt, Powell, Gay, Blake, Gatlin, Coleman, Greene)
The modern times use these new spring spikes from Nike, so lots of people want to discount a little from the time.
