Can we have a moment of silence for 9.58?

I believe bolt runs a 4.3 40

I remember gAtln ran like a 4.5 when he was in nfl training camps


Plus bolt starts slow,his closing speed is insane though

starting from the blocks in the track is different from a 40 yard dash

aBolts "starts" aren't his strength, but his stride length + top speed help him recover..

the 40 yard dash is more about acceleration to top speed in a very short distance when compared to the 100 meter.
Bolt is the fastest man ever, but it wouldnt surprise me if blake or gay beat his 40 yard dash time

Bolt got raw speed. He's faster than any football player no doubt. CJ can't beat him neither can Deion. They are better football players but the better sprinter?
Nah not even in the 40 yard dash. He gotta be in the 4.2. Better than CJ. Prolly High 4.1's on a good one.

I think 9.58 will last a while. Prolly like 20-30 years realistically. Bolt is on another level.

I doubt Bolt runs a 3.97.....He's not the best starter.....Would be interesting to see what his 40 is...


I wonder what CJ2K would run in the 100m.

20-30 years? It will get topped within 5.

Ok by who? Who's the prospect? Bolt himself?

compare the 2012 100m dash to the 1984 100m dash.

EVERYONE in the final heat in 2012 ran FASTER than Carl Lewis, the gold medalist, in 1984.

there are a bunch of teenagers out there running a 10 second 100m that might challenge bolts records at the next olympics...no one knows.

within 5-10 years that record will definitely fall. its the way things are.
