Tyson Gaye ran 9.71 and he wasn't even close. Bolt has said he thinks that 9.4 is possible. Also, the Berlin track is not a 'fast sprinting' track.

EDIT - The OP should rename this thread title, so it is not a spoiler for anyone who will be watching the race later.

Well, Bolt is a bio-mechanically enhanced dog. Not only is he super-fast, but he has a killer super-bark!

Just one other fact. I hear that he one time he ran at as much as 44km/h or roughly 27mp/h.

The sick part is he thinks he can do 9.4.

100 metres in 9.58 seconds is 23.35 mph
100 metres in 9.40 seconds is 23.8 mph

That's pretty fast.

he may be able to. his start is hugely improved (i thought it was hilarious he false started in the semifinal). he can still improve his 2nd quarter a lot, in my view.

I missed it, was at a party and forgot the World Championship was on...someone gave us the times at the party though. What about Tyson Gay getting the new American record too. (9.71)

We are still a slow animal though :(

i tried to run after a deer that ran through our yard, a couple of years ago. that was humbling.

That's pretty fast.

That's assuming a constant speed, too. He's got to be faster than that at his peak to compensate for the acceleration time at the beginning.
