Rob look here with 6'4.75" Kobe Bryant and Usian Bolt. I don't think Usian Bolt is 6'5". Click Here

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 said 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 said 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] said 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 said 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.

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.

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 said 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 said 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] said 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 said 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 said 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 said 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).

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!

Min 6'4.5, max 6'5

he looks 6'4.5"(1.94m)next to Cristiano Ronaldo,thats what i believe he is.
Anshelm said 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)

Powell's XVIII Commonwealth Games entry:

Bard said on 7/Jan/12
~6'4.5". Looks even taller because of his slim frame.
Shaun said on 12/Dec/11
I was kidding actually, but 6'3.5" for Usain Bolt is extreme. I can't see him a hair under 195cm.
MD said on 8/Dec/11
Shaun,

Are you serious with that picture? It's is clearer than day that Powell is half-seated. lol No judgement either way can be made off of that picture. I largely tend to believe he's the height listed, here (though probably exactly 195cm, since that's what's on his own site), but that's a terrible picture.
Shaun said on 7/Dec/11
Click Here

Asapha Powell is listed at 6'3". Are you telling me he is 6' tops? LOL
Shaun said on 7/Dec/11
LOL have you actually seen Usain Bolt standing next to Asapha Powell??? More chance of 6 ft 6 than 6'3.5". If you jammed a stadiometer right down crushing him he'd still not measure under 1.94m.
Shaun said on 7/Dec/11
My doctor measured me at 1.86789304442 metres!! He used a magnifying glass to get my height to the nearest gazillionth of a cm.
Shaun said on 7/Dec/11
LAN Jiao says on 15/Oct/11
Im 196.55cm i won put bolt lower than 194.5cm. He is similar looking as kobe and jordan height.

The latter is true, does look the same height as them (195cm) but I'd bet top dollar you are not genuinely taller than Usain Bolt barefoot LAN Jaio!!! 196.55 is um, a little precise isn't it? When measured on the stadiometer by the doctor/nurse they usually round the measurement to the nearest cm. LOL the thought of my doctor telling me my height to the exact mm.
Martin said on 29/Nov/11
He does not look THAT much taller than confirmed 185 cm Ronaldo.
Tman said on 18/Nov/11
I would say 1,94-5m Click Here
Physics Enemy said on 16/Nov/11
Yes Shaun, Bolt is how a legit 6' 5" 'looks'. Aided by his lean, muscular, long legged, lanky build. He's 6' 3.5" I believe. Jed is pretty clued up on height.
Physics Enemy said on 16/Nov/11
Jed's account is interesting, I've had a read. I used to think Bolt was close to 6' 5", that was back in the days when I was less clued up. With Bolt's type of build he could be 6' 3.5" and still look a solid 6' 5". He's lean, muscular, with long legs. I'm going with 6' 3.5". It's tall enough for him to appear a solid 6' 5" and explain's Jed's mates' pic where he's clearly below 6' 4".
ANDREA[ITA] said on 8/Nov/11
Yeah Lan Jiao, i agree with you! He looks it! He could also be 194 but no less! He always looks very very tall! 6'5 is actually 195.5 and 195 is just a shade less than that!
LAN Jiao said on 8/Nov/11
bolt is 195cm.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 7/Nov/11
Yeah he actually could be 6'4.5 and rounds up to 6'5! But no less than that! He always towers everyone in competitions! Last time i saw him running, my dad said joking:"how tall is him? 220?"! He actually looks huge and has a very good frame, wide shoulders,...

See the end of this. He literally makes the photographers look like little children.
Shaun said on 3/Sep/11
Agreed with Physics Enemy and Andreaita, not a hair under 195cm legitimate barefoot. And has anybody seen how tall he looks next to photographers after running. Always looks head and shoulders above everybody else and looks a virtual giant in comparison. Seriously he looks close to a giant in comparison to the photographers see the end of his recent 200m run. His head looms high above even from a distance.
Physics Enemy said on 1/Sep/11
He's definitely 6' 5", he looked MASSIVE at the World Championships. There's no chance that he's the same height as David Hasselhoff. Legit 6' 5" IMO.
ANDREA[ITA] said on 27/Aug/11
He looked a giant next to other sprinters! He had like 20 cms on most of them! He claimed 6ft5 in an italian interview and i really think he's that height! 195 is possible but its more probable 6ft5! Just forget all that 6'4 comments: they're ridicolous!
Viper said on 5/Aug/11
6-4 Max 6-4.25, same to me.
Dean 5ft 9.25 said on 4/Aug/11
With 189cm Liu Xiang down below he looks 191-193 no more no less!

I personally think 192cm-194cm is his range...never over 194cm at night
Mathew said on 3/Aug/11
Anything from 193 - 195 cm I buy for Bolt. He's somewhere in that range. 6'4" was what he was always listed at before he set the world record, only then did the 6'5" listings pop up.
Physics Enemy said on 30/Jul/11
Viper - You went from 'solid 6' 4.25"' for Bolt to '6' 4" Max'. Why keep downgrading as you go along? We all knows he's 5' 11.5". Done. ;-)
Shaun said on 30/Jul/11
Even if he was 6'4" max, which is bull as he's two inches taller than Powell,

Click Here

The article refers to him as "extremely tall" and "massive". Guys under 6'4" rarely get the "extremely tall" label. That is usually only applied to those above 6'4".
Shaun said on 16/Jul/11
@ Jake

Ronaldo often looks surprisingly tall though against some people. He made Jackman took shorter too.
Jake T. said on 15/Jul/11
Seeing pictures with Cristiano Ronaldo I do not put him as low as 6'3 but 6'5 is too much as well, Liu Xiang is 6'2.5 and Bolt looks 2 inches taller so I think 6'4.5 or 194 cm is not improbable for him.
Mathew said on 5/Jul/11
Viper says on 4/Jul/11
6-4 MAX, not 195cm

He could be 6'4" flat, not under 6'4" though, that's too low.

193 min, 195 max. He can probably look 6'3" or 6'6" in a pic, but he's not under 6'4" or over 6'4.75".
Jed said on 29/Jun/11
Lel. He definitely doesn't look much over 6'3 in the pic with my friends bro. Looks 6'5ish with clarkson though

Tall Enough says on 25/Jun/11
I've seen him walking infront of me.. I thought he is 6'1 but when I saw him he seems to be 6'3 which is very tall
I'm 5'8 and one of my friend is 6'2 1/2 and Bolt seems almost like his height... but 6'5 thats too much for him.. He is absloutly 6'3 give or take 1/2 inch but not more....

Which if true tells us that you suck at estimating heights.

195cm it is.
196-197cm out of bed
d wade said on 22/Jun/11
he is 6,4 3/4 he is listed 195 cm and lokks it.
Jed said on 21/Jun/11
I've always thought he was 6'5, but having just seen a picture of him standing next to my mates brother who is no more than 5'11 (being generous) I can't see how it's possible. He hardly even looks 6'3 in the pic despite being closer to the camera. There's no way he could be taller than 6'4 based on that picture, an I'm struggling to justify even that. But if he was 6'5 he should have at least 6" on him, but my mates brother is fairly lax in posture and up to bolt's eyebrows. Maybe has a 0.5" heel advantage knowing what shoes he usually wears, but his posture and camera angle more than accounts for it. Pretty confused as bolt definitely looks a lot taller than 6'3 in other pictures, but like I said, I know how tall my friends bro is and the pic doesn't add up.
Candyman said on 21/Jun/11
Looks to be a very strong 6'4" or weak 6'5". Can't really be sure from the few pics submitted as shoewear and ground elevation seem to be issues. Yeah he got pwned by Emeka Okafor and that look on his face shows it, but christ that guy is 2 inches shy of 7 feet tall. Looks at least 2 inches taller than Lemaitre and he isnt even standing straight.
Shaun said on 20/Jun/11
Looked the full 6'5" next to 6'4.5" Jeremy Clarkson and 6'7" Curtley Ambrose.

I think if he stood up straight he'd look like a legitimate 6'4" but no more there. I wouldn't rule out 195 cm though. 196 is too high.

Agreed.

actually desifa@me 196-197cm are legit 6ft5 while 195cm is more of a strong 6ft4. I come from a country where we use cm's when measuring and usually 195cm gets rounded down to 6'4''thats probably why christopher lee always said 6'4'' when he gave his height.

the previous listing was more accurate. 1,95m(6'4.75)
Mathew said on 10/Jun/11
desifa@me says on 9/Jun/11
Rubbish. A 6'4 man next to a 6'5 man is going to look only slightly shorter, a inch is hard to notice, and besides tim is not 6'4 even anyway, to be be realistic the difference between 6'4.25 and 6'5 is not noticable, Bolt is taller than westwood and not just slightly taller either, he is clearly taller, under 6'5 bolt is not possible.

Did you see the rugby video where he stood next to a 6'4" guy and then a 6'6" guy? He was taller than the 6'4" guy, but he was CLEARLY closer in height to the 6'4" guy than he was the 6'6" guy, meaning he's probably somewhere in the 194 - 195 cm range rather than the 196 - 197 cm range.
Shaun said on 10/Jun/11
Tim Westtood is 6'4". Usain Bolt is very obviously a solid 6'5", at worst 195cm.
Terryman said on 7/Jun/11
actually with Tim westwood who is leaning backwards while Usain leans forward it looks as though they look similar in height! he might be 1,94m+a few mm's

He's a professional athlete he must have had countless medicals including height/weight measurements. I think 6'5'' is legit.
----------------------------------------------------
you would think that was the case, but most sports ppl get listed higher then there actual height. Maybe they get measured in there shoes, BB players, football definately are overestimated by a couple of cm atleast.

However for Bolt, I would say he is very close to 6ft5, the lowest he could be is 6ft4.5.

viper that photo is all crooked, here is the video, bolt is slightly taller, bolt and galwey at 3mins 10secs, at 3mins 20secs you see 6'6 gaelic football listed michael quirke enter the picture Click Here

I agree that Bolt looked slightly taller, then he looked a good bit shorter than the 6'6" guy. Honestly he looked about 6'4.5" in the video, he was for sure closer to Galwey's height than he was the 6'6" guy. Looked 194 cm, maybe just maybe 195 cm with a strong benefit of the doubt in the video. Did not look 196 cm.

Jim Carey always looked 6'2" in movies to me. Looks very similar onscreen in terms of height to how Arnie looked in Kindergarten Cop or Jeff Bridges, weak 6'2", strong 6'1".

6"4.75(195cm) is legit
jtm said on 19/May/11
lol at 6'2 for jim carrey. he is closer to 6'0. look at the evidence dill pickle posted on the carrey page and if bolt claims to be 6'4.75 then why is he listed at 6'5?
Chaz said on 19/May/11
in Jamaican,size 13 like the UK is a 14US size,which is what you would expect for a 6'4-5''man Clarkson,takes a UK size 13 so to dose Steven Fry,

mathew one thing is you can never trust web listings, here is a 6'1 listing for jan nortje, now this guy way taller than 6'1 Click Here

lots of 6'4 web listing for big ben and he was measured 6'4.9 barefoot at the draft Click Here
MD said on 18/May/11
Nice finds, Matthew. It seems that this very well could be a fame-induced height "increase".
Viper said on 17/May/11
Hes shorter than MJ and Kobe. 6-4
Vegas said on 17/May/11
he was taller than 6'4 rugby listed mick galwey and rugby listings are usually spot on

6'4"/1.93 mentions

Here's one where they say he's mentioned at 1.93, but the writers speculate he's 1.95:

Its cause on tv i mostly saw him running and he was among other people that were closer to his height so i guessed wrong.
its kinda like Jim carey in his movies, i always thought he was 5'10-5'11 but didnt know he was like 6'2
Mathew said on 16/May/11
Usain was always listed at 6'4" before he was famous. The sports writers were the ones who hyped him up to a strong 6'5", which he isn't quite. But he's close. Hence his 195 cm claim.
Viper said on 16/May/11
J-Dog says on 12/May/11
LOL @ 195.4cm, you are 100% correct on Viper. I feel Viper is probably 6'1" so has a real hard time with ANY celebrity being over this mark, or anyone for that case and prefers to put them 6' or under no matter who it is, with guys as big as Bolt, he can't quite do that but can snag an inch, Usain Bolt was clearly taller than Clarkson as stated lol, plus he is around legit 6'2" sprinters as well.

In other words, you suck at height estimating.

Dont think so, he might be 6.3.5 not more. What do you think Rob? With cristiano ronaldo he looked that tall. 6'3.5.

viper?
Viper said on 15/May/11
Hes 6-4, not the 6-5 some think.
Anon said on 14/May/11
Rob, do you think he could be 6 feet 5 even..he looked taller than Clarkson on Top Gear easy my friend! thanks

Editor Rob
I think to go with as close to the 1.95m he's officially at is fair for him.
Shaun said on 14/May/11
Does look like he'd be a similar height to Kobe and Michael Jordan, 6'6" in sneakers so 6'4.75" barefoot looks about right.

6'3.5" for Usain Bolt??? Haaaa. At lowest he is 6'4.75".
Shaun said on 13/May/11
@ Ben, no actually he is 207 pounds, 14 stone 12.

Editor Rob
well to give him 1.95 I'm going to put bolt at 6ft 4.75 as some suggested.
The Ben said on 13/May/11
I've heard many times that he weighs 86kg, I just googled it and it came up again.
13 stone 8.
Very light for a 6'5 guy.
Probably just his peak racing weight though.
Mathew said on 12/May/11
T says on 11/May/11
Just seen the clip of him on top gear. When he first stands next to clarkson he looks maybe 2" taller than him.Oh and he's 210 pounds

Funny, cause actually if you listen close Clarkson says something like 'finally someone who's my height'.

Hes 6-4, not 6-5

He's sure been listed at 6'4". I think 6'4" min, 6'4.75" max.

Larry said on 11/May/11
wow didn't know he was this tall
MD said on 10/May/11
Rob,

Do you think you could place him at his given height of 195 cm, and we can debate it from there?

Editor Rob
he could be 195 and a few mm and be close enough to 6ft 5. But 6ft 4.75 would make the 1.95m appear.
Viper said on 10/May/11
Hes 6-4, not 6-5
Cranberries said on 9/May/11
He's got the perfect athlete's build. He's not very big, but he's long, muscular, and spread out; long arms, long skinny legs, broad shoulders, etc. 195cm would be the most accurate IMO.
Mathew said on 9/May/11
Since he calls himself 195 cm, I doubt he's 196.
Shaun said on 9/May/11
Bolt is how a legit 6'5" looks, massive. 6'6" in shoes.
James said on 9/May/11
He's massive but he's not over 6'5. 196cm is fine.
T said on 9/May/11
If anybody can get the clip of him on top gear he tells clarkson his height and weight
Truthman said on 9/May/11
He is 195cm, i'm sure he's woudn't lie about his height.
Mark said on 8/May/11
He was on an episode of Top Gear. Looked ever so slightly taller than 6'4.5 Clarkson.
Klaus said on 7/May/11
Today he is 6'6
MD said on 6/May/11
He's not only very tall, but he also has some really long arms, and looks lanky, but is also very muscular.

BTW, Rob, he officially lists himself on his own website as 195 cm, which is actually closer to 6'4.75". His weight is 207 lbs.
Gorgeous said on 6/May/11
he is 197cm Rob
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 6/May/11
About time...195cm looks closer
Matt said on 6/May/11
so i take it the taller you are the more advantageous it is when running? in my school its the skinny short kids who beat everyone
SAK said on 5/May/11
Bolt is unusually tall for a 100m/200m sprinter @ 6ft5. However, he has adapted to his physique and his long limbs help him, so goo on him.
Mathew said on 5/May/11
I don't think this guy is the full 6'5". His official site says he's 195 cm and iaaf.org has him as low as 193 cm: Click Here and the nbc 2008 olympic site had him at 6'4": Click Here I think he's 195 cm tops.

Yeah totally agree with Lighting Bolt being a solid 6 ft 5.Amazing that he only wears a size 13 shoe though

Amazing how fast a 6'6 guy can run.
