Usain looks to be right in the middle of 6'4 and 6'5 so 194 or 195 cm could be the right mark.

"ectomorf" is thin,skinny "endomorf" is stubby,fat
alan brisco says on 14/Feb/13
Probably he is a little shorter than 6'5". I saw a pic with him and blanka vlasic. She is a legit 6'4" (192-193 cm). They were very similar. So a more realistic height for bolt is 6'4" (192-193 cm)
Arch Stanton says on 13/Dec/12
An inch is not much Sylinher, but I do think a genuine 6 ft 5 guy will stand out more as "huge" more than a guy who is weak 6'4"-6'4". If you watch Bolt run he towers above all of the other runners. But he's pretty skinny and lean, an endomorph, if he was built like Yohan Blake at 6'5" and a mesomorph he'd be an absolute monster physically but that would slow him down running I think.

i dont understand how people say that bolt doest look much taller than cristiano ronaldo who is roughly 1.85-1.86...here..in this photo... Click Here
bolt totally towers him..thought he is a little bowed
i cant see the point of tried to downgrade bolts'height...i mean the guy is really huge and strong...you wouldn notice the diference if he is 6'5 or 6'4
tom says on 30/Nov/12
was in manchester this year,wasnt more that 10 feet away from me,i'm 6-2.5 and hes not 6-5 for sure,id say more 6-3.5/6-4 max.
Arch Stanton says on 25/Nov/12
Is Vidic really only 189cm? Looks taller than that next to Bolt and Bryant.
joe joe says on 19/Nov/12
A 6'5 guy would tower a 6'2 guy like vidic a little more me thinks. to be honest alot of sports measurements can be inaccurate with some being with shoes on making people taller and some measurements still being online form people youth days making it seem they are shorter. For years the brazilian Ronaldo was touted as 1m 80. mainly because of lazy stat keeping. He started playing pro soccer at the age of 14 and by 17 he was 1m80. he had a growth spurt at 21 to 1m 83 but it took a good 5 years before this was on record. I also have a friend who is a pro soccer player and he is down everywhere as 1m 96/6'5 but he isn't that tall. he will tell you he's 6'4 but he is closer to a big 6'3. Im 6'1 and don't ever feel towered by him like a 6'5 guy does. but everywhere he is listed as 6'5 even though he says he is shorter. The moral of the story is you cant trust the number. sometime they lie
James says on 14/Nov/12
He was the same size as Jeremy clarkson so I think 194-195cm is closer
miko says on 13/Nov/12
Maybe if Bryant was leaning in like that then he'd look 6'3 as well...

I found these 2 interesting photos:
Here is Usain with 189 cm tall Nemanja Vidic Click Here
Here is Vidic with 195-196 cm tall Kobe Bryant Click Here
Bolt doesnt look 6'5'' as opossed to Bryant who does(if not taller),but i'm not sure about posture or footwear.I thought that Bolt and Bryant are the exact same height,but maybe they are not.What do you guys think?

Here we go again with this Kobe is 6'4 1/2 crap, Kobe Bryant has two inches on Dwyane Wade. Wade is a measured 6'3 1/2, BAREFOOT. Click Here
LeBron6 says on 25/Sep/12
Rob look here with 6'4.75" Kobe Bryant and Usian Bolt. I don't think Usian Bolt is 6'5". Click Here
SolidSnake says on 10/Sep/12
Kevin Garnett isn't in a position to make estimations off his height lol. Paul Pierce however is clearly a little taller but thats expected as he 6'6''
LeBron6 says on 28/Aug/12
Rob, why did you round him up from 6'4.75" (195 cm) to 6'5" (196 cm)? I thought his legit height was 195 cm not 196 cm.
Shaun says on 20/Aug/12
Anything under 6'5" is a joke

Leaning and still looks easily this height. Tom Daly and Colin Farrell looks strong 5'9"ers.
ANDREA[ITA] says on 12/Aug/12
6'5 is actually 195,58, so a strong 195! So the listing covers his site's listing! Btw, Bolt claimed 6'5 in different occasions, so this is ok!
MD says on 12/Aug/12
Rob,
Bolt's own site lists him as 195 cm. You can keep the 6'5" if you want to, but he's technically 195 cm, which is what he gives himself as.

@avi says on 8/Aug/12
Rob is Bolt 6'4.5 or what? you agreed the other day that he isnt a real 6'5
i am not disagreeing but i am wondering it is possible he could be 6'4.5 correct? Next to Yohan Blake (5'10ish) he seems a solid 6 or 6.5 inches taller.

[Editor Rob: I think the metric listing for him is fine, just about 6ft 5]
Shaun says on 8/Aug/12
kevin garnett is scary, makes Bolt look small!!

ANDREA[ITA] says on 7/Aug/12
Rob, who do you think would be taller between Bolt and Ibrahimovic?
[Editor Rob: tough to call, Bolt can look very tall even amongst fellow sprinters, but then so can Ibrahimovich amongst team mates when at Barcelona, having a head on some of their midfield players.]
Same height, but Bolt could edge him out by a cm.

Usain Bolt is a legit 6'5", measured barefoot.
Proof? I believe the 195 cm, don't think quite 196.
Fern194cm-192cm says on 6/Aug/12
Hey Hob,
Guess what?
6,4.75 is 6,5 and Bolt is not 6,4.75. He is 6,5 and easy 197 out of bed.
Rob, U have him at the correct height.
YOUR-NOT-AS-COOL-ME says on 6/Aug/12
usain bolt is 6'6 thats what donavon bailey said yesterday because you mesure them cause usain bolt is 6'5 but you mesure with the shoes so bolt is a legit 6'6 but i am 5'8 with my shoes and im 11
ANDREA[ITA] says on 6/Aug/12
In an italian interview, he said to be 6'5. Anyway, that doesnt mean he cannot be 6'4.75... That's still a guess, not a measurement so 6'5 is good for him! He looks huge
Hob says on 6/Aug/12
accurate listing for 6'4.75 but no idea why rob round him up as 6'5 ?
mike 6 feet out of bed says on 5/Aug/12
Rob usain bolt is listed 195 Cm so 6"4.75 but can be that tall. I don't doubt it
Fern194cm-192cm says on 5/Aug/12
Unreal,
I saw him today next to 6,4 bailey at the 100m final. Bailey is probably closer to 6,3.5 but Bolt had a minimum of 2 inches on him. Imo, i believe seeing him next to legit 6,4.25 clarkson is enough proof that he is indeed a legit 6,5 or 196cm. I am 6,3.75 (legit) and I am telling u that he would no doubt have me by an 1.5 inches. Also, today Donovan Bailey was describing him as 6,6 (he did 2x in fact).

Josie, calm down please. Looks 6'4.5
josie says on 8/Jun/12
All you haters.Calling bolt 6'4?Have you ever seen usain bolt next to a tall person?have you ever seen him in pictures standing Bolt is at least 6'5 and is probably 6'5 1/2 when he isn't stooped,or not having back trouble.Look at him next to 5'6 allyson felix,he towers!
ANDREA[ITA] says on 11/Feb/12
Min 6'4.5, max 6'5
talker says on 26/Jan/12
he looks 6'4.5"(1.94m)next to Cristiano Ronaldo,thats what i believe he is.
Anshelm says on 24/Jan/12
Asafa Powell has also been listed as 188 cm (the only height I've heard from a sports commentator's mouth, but then again I don't watch a lot of sports)
