Answer 9

Answer 10

well oviusly its michle phelps.   DUH!!!!!

Answer 11

Usain Bolt

Answer 12

It's definitely not Phelps actually even if you were talking swimming. He's the best all around for sure but not the fastest which would be the guys in the 50 free.

I was so impressed by Bolt and his wins and records but I now wonder if the Jamaica team was on roids. If it was just Insane winning like he did it probably wouldn't cross my mind but the dominance of the Jamaican team (especially over the Americans) was so unprecedented.....

Anyone else suspect this?

Answer 13

Usain Bolt, undisputed fastest man in the world. Nobody can say it's anyone else. This isn't like after 1996 when we had to have a stupid 150m run at the Skydome to see if Michael Johnson or Donovan Bailey is the fastest man.

Answer 14

On Water: Australian  317.6 mph

The Spirit of Australia piloted by Ken Warby attained a speed of 317.596 mph  511.13 km/h at Blowering Dam on e October 8th 1978

On Land: British 763 mph

The land speed record is 763 mph (slightly under 1228 km/h).

The ThrustSSC record was achieved by British RAF pilot Andy Green on 15 October 1997.

In Air: American 2,194 mph

Officially, the fastest air speed record was set in 1976 by Eldon W. Joersz 2,194 mph or  3,530 km/h in a US SR-71 Blackbird (If that is what they admit to, what do they really got?)

Of course it you are referring to the fastest human speed attained only with their own bodies.  There are two that hold that title: (And no, Phelps is not one of them)

In Water: Australian  2.294 m/s

Eamon Sullivan on 27 March 2008 at Australian Olympic Trials in Sydney Australia reclaimed the 50 m freestyle world record with a time of 21.28 sec.

On Land: Jamaican 10.320 m/s

Usain Bolt easily set a new worlds record of 9.69 in the Olympic finals.

Of course there is an absolute maximum unaided speed that the human body can attain.  It is called "Terminal Velocity" and is about 55.556 m/s

And yes, anyone can do that.

Once. -lol
