What time do you think Usain Bolt could have run?

Question

Since at the last 15 meters Bolt started pulling his arms up and pounding his chest, what time do you think he could have run if he kept sprinting all out(BTW his time was a 9.69)with good wind

Answer 1

9.4 if he kept his foot on the pedal and dipped

Answer 2

9.5 if he had kept going, instead the fool decides to ham it for the world tv audience.

Answer 3

i think atleast 9.67sec  

Answer 4

i sincerely think he can break 9.6. My money is on 9.57 or thereabouts.

Remember that the wind was exactly zero - so when you say it was a good wind it was neither a help or a hindrance.

also - his interview afterwards (on bbc) said he knew this was a fast track (it is quite new) so bear in mind when he goes running on other tracks the surface and conditions may not be as good.

but - when all is said and done - he's raised the bar for 100m and I think he will break 9.6. come on Jamaica !!

Answer 5

Could be 9.66.

Answer 6

He is actually smart. He still has the 200 meters still to be run. So that's why he shut it off in the 100 meters. Otherwise he would have set even 9.4 seconds.

"I just ran the first 50 meters, then I looked around to make sure I was safe and I shut it off" - Usain Bolt

Answer 7

9.3

9.4 easy
