Question

Could Usain Bolt hit 9.60s in the 100m with ease?

Answer 1

Yea! The guy's really fast.

Answer 2

yes, if he didnt celebrate his victory before he crossed the finish line. but wow, what an amazing race he ran!

Answer 3

The Olympic commentator suggested that by celebrating with 20 meters to go he sacrificed a 9.59. I'm not sure how he can positively say this. I think he could have shaved off a few hundreths of second if he had run through the line, but a full tenth of a second is a lot.

The most any individual has ever lowered the world record by is .05 seconds (Maurice Green, Asafa Powell, and now Bolt). I don't know if Bolt can lower it another .09 seconds. What I really want to see is if Bolt can break the 200m record, which has stood for 12 years now.

Answer 4

I think that olympic run just answered your question, basically h**l yeah

Answer 5

Well of course he could, if he'd race the full distance.  A 9.55 in the Olympics would have been likely if he wouldn't have slowed down to show off.  There's something to be said for a little modesty, IMO.  

Answer 6

Holy c**p.  If he hadn't celebrated and slowed down during the last 15, he could have probably even finished with a 9.5s.  Wow, what a run.  That dude is FAST :)
