Usain Bolt could get a ticket for jogging in a school zone.
He should try it just to see if they'd really do it to him.
@@omgurheadsgone you can get a DUI riding a pedal bike, so no, its not confined to motorized vehicles.
@@omgurheadsgone r/woooosh
@@omgurheadsgone Dumbass its a joke. And in fact speed limits also affect bicycles. You're not allowed to ride your bike faster than the speed limit of the closest road is, even if you're not on the drive way, so its not only about motorised vehicles.
LOL! And if some kid get out in front of him, he would also be more likely to hit that than a car going the same speed (even if the car of course, is a lot worse for the kid, IF it hits). His starting acceleration during a race (the initial push) is very fast (even compared to car standards), but he can't stop or turn very fast (stopping distance is probably about the same as the acceleration distance would be, if he started by just standing upright, without the foot steps and the normal stating position - maybe even worse, because the shape of the body makes it easier to accelerate than decelerate when running).
High speed turning is probably the worst, since that has to be done with very little contact with the ground all the way (during deceleration, he can at least increase the deceleration rate, as the speed get down and he get more contact with the ground)
I guarantee you if there was a lion behind Bolt he'd beat his world record no doubt.
Underrated comment
Wouldn't that be true for few other non-athletes too...
No he wouldn’t because the lion would catch up to him before he gets to the 100m mark
He would die before 30m😂
@@jastxil6677 lions dont really like bigger targets running as much as cheetahs do so its more likely to get bored
Crazy how we never seen Bolt run his fastest . Mans would chill once he seen he was gonna win lmaoo
Not in his world records. I thought that too at first, but then I rewatched them and realized that he never actually let off. A lot of his non wr runs however…
@@peterparker1724 in his 9.58 he eased up at the end. He didn’t even bother to lean at the end
@@DarkFlames42 He didn't need to lean. Runners usually only lean when it's a close race and a lean will help them win. It didn't look like he eased up in his 9.58, maybe he did and his momentum just carried him through the line at a speed close to what he was running right before he eased up.
@@timmytheinventor4746 If 'a lean will help them win', then a lean would have helped get a faster time.
He gets paid to run, if he goes his hardest he will only get paid for that one time. If he ends up barely beating the past record then he gets multiple deals and more money because he has more events.
I remember once, a girl claimed that she ran 100 meters in 8 seconds... in first grade... I'm a bit sceptical now

Thegooob95 hah hah
yeah i was wondering why i could only go 99 meters in 9 seconds thanks man!
I'm not sure under 9 seconds is impossible, partly because many used to say that Bob Beamon's long jump record would never be broken. It was broken in just over 20 years. There was speculation for a while that Bolt, if he applied himself enough, got even faster, had the perfect race, possibly at altitude with thinner air, and ran to his absolute best, might stand a chance of going under 9. BUT....there has to be a time that going below is impossible... For example, a human could never run the 100 meters in 2 seconds of course... So would love to know the absolute definitive answer on this.
We all know that airplanes will never break the sound barrier, right?

Answer: You’re a fatty
@@dillguyman your acting like you can
I can’t, and I admit that. I can only run it in 16. Btw it’s a joke. And yes I can run 9 meters in 100 seconds
I’m only 10 tho
To increase ground reaction a primary aspect that is often ignored is the increase created by a good arm action. Try standing on a set of scales and aggressively bringing your arms up. Note the effect on the scales. Also note how the change of arm motion at the end of its swing can reduce your body weight thus aiding flight. Research into this aspect of sprinting is too often neglected when compared with reaction times, leg power, cadence etc. In addition the arms counteract the eccentric thrust that is created by leg forces not being applied directly to the central line of the body. So wider hips and narrow shoulders do not encourage efficient application of power when sprinting. A rotating body core caused by eccentric thrust not being counteracted by the arm action reduces muscle efficiency in all limb muscles connected to it. So reducing 100m times depends on leg and arm actions plus all the other factors. Certainly it can go lower than it currently is.
100 years ago, the world records were around 10.5 seconds. They probably thought someone running it in 9.58 was absurd, but yet here we are. Even 20 years ago it was 9.78 and Bolt took 2/10 a second off that time.
Human ability has its limits.
And Usain bolt is physically unbeatable @@hansdekorver7365
Has anyone noticed that in Usain’s fastest races ever, he celebrates DURING the end of the race, meaning if he didn’t celebrate during the race, he could go even faster
Has been bothering me for years lol. I should check if someone has calculated his time if he hadnt celebrated
Who knows maybe the man wanted to let others break his record
@@Haruntje i read an article it said he would've run 9.55 if he hadn't showboated at the end.
I know he celebrated in a 9.69 run, but he didn't really celebrate in his wr 9.58 run
Yeah this isn’t true. Bolt exploded in his world record 9.58 run. He showboated in his 9.69 run (which was record at the time) in Beijing. But he best that time with the 9.58 where he didn’t showboat

Einstein proved that time is relative so if we just got out the audience in a spaceship and propelled them at 50% the speed of light, it could be possible for the runner to make it in under 9 seconds relative to the audience. The only problem is that it is impossible to get an audience to move that fast.

The running technique is also complitly different if you look closely

They’re pumping their arms much harder and swinging them forward at a slightly time. For them, one arm swings forward at the same time one foot leaves the ground.

Sparks Fly yea I ran track in high school it’s a lot of technique to it. A person who is considered slow in track terms can probably beat a football player that is considered fast. Just by the technique. It feels so good to jog and still cover a lot of distance that’s how you know you have been trained well.

8.99 what was that?
they said in video taht they have to slow down and all or they automatically goes slow
lol
all the racers try to maximise thier speed to get the lead. All players have a capability to keep their peak speed for a particular time duration. He is the one who can keep it for 80m that why he win, all the other one start to slow down long before him.
In sprinting mechanics, when you hit 40 km per hour
Then slowing and jogging down wouldn't matter since you would already have had momentum
The problem with running the 100m in 9 seconds is the fact that the faster you run, the less time you have to accelerate since the race has been reduced by 10% of time. So you would need accelerate or get up to top speed so ridiculously fast that it's not a matter of increasing top speed but more an issue of achieving top speed faster. To get to 9 seconds, you'd need Usain Bolt levels of top speed and get to that insane top speed within your first step or two, which is humanly impossible.

Why do I have a feeling Usain Bolt never gave it all... just watch him sprint,so casual..
Because he didn’t
Nah he gave it his all
I remember them saying that solving a 3 x 3 cube in 3 secs is almost impossible and now people are doing it in 2 secs
Actually it’s 3:45 that’s the world record

Plot twist: velocity is a paid actor
Acceleration is just CGI
They will tweak the running shoes and surfaces to make this happen plus still under the tail wind limit would help. Always fund to see these races.
I remember hopping onto a fast treadmill at the UCLA Athletic Facility. I cranked it up to the top speed and ran a 4:20 mile on it
Yep sure you did 😂

Hahaha best comment ever hahaha
Lol at the beginning who’s gonna tell him that taking .58 seconds off your 100 isn’t eking out "a little bit more"
yesss lmao this is the same thing in swimming, people think its so easy to drop seconds off a 100
Alondra Hart it is when you’re slow
Yeah I was thinking that too. When the speeds are that fast, .58 seconds less is a ridiculous amount
@@danielmanning2319 at maximum speed, around 12 m/s, 0.58s is 7m.. just a tiny bit on 100m ahaha

Bolt ran an 8.65 in a relay leg with a running start.
keyword "running start"
Very interesting. Thank you. I always wondered if there is also a brain component that determines how fast the "instructions" to one's feet movement get to them.
Try 9 Meters in 100 Seconds!

LOL
Could a bear run 100m in 9s
Osama Zoubi Man, a 500 pound bear can run faster than Usain Bolt. No joke
@@Divine_R you can outrun a bear but only while runnimg downhill
You only gotta be the second slowest
Imagine if all the top tier ground breaking sprinters back in the day that ran on the sut tracks or the bad tracks if they ran now on close to perfect conditions
Other bench modes for speed. 40-yard - dash for football.
60 yard dash for indoor track
The answer is pretty simple. If Usain Bolt could run 100 meters in 8.6 seconds, then this video would be called "Why It's Almost Impossible to Run 100 Meters In 8 Seconds"
He ran it in 9.58 seconds though

@@Sheddertje I mean, obviously, but it's a moot point. Yes, if the human physiology was such that a record of 8.6 were possible, the title would've changed appropriately. The exact numbers are of little, if any, importance to the point.
I find it a bit odd that they didn't factor height / stride length. I contend that a reason why Bolt is so remarkable in sprinting is his height. Bolt is the tallest Olympiad winner in the 100m ever at 6 feet 5 inches. The second tallest was 6 feet 2 inches (Carl Lewis). The fact that Bolt maintained a high turnover rate being that tall is astonishing and is a huge factor in his speed. Bolt ran the 100m sprint with an avg of 41 strides. That's about 2.439m per stride or 96 inches. If you could increase your stride length by form or just by extension of your height (such as the case with Bolt), over the course of a 100m race you could shave off 1 less stride. In a 100m sprint, 1 less stride to the finish line is a HUGE advantage. During my sprint training days I was told that starts, RPMs and stride length were the holy trinity in speed.
It's not just stride length, how fast muscle can contract also plays a role, too slow and your feet would've left the ground before your tremendously powerful leg muscles ever managed to apply full force to the ground
Su bingtian is a good example on how to maximise on block start phases and that less strides is not necessarily good during first 60 meters
that's bs, the stride length doesn't count at all; if it did every 4 legged animal would be slower than us considering their less stride length. If we could manage to move our legs faster, the more steps we can do means more force that pushes us and the faster we get.
Okay but would my chances be improved if I were to be struck by lightning and doused in mysterious chemicals?

He closes his eyes and still gets those times! I was taught to watch for the smoke of the gun because the sound arrives much later.
Imagine if all cops is as fast as Bolt.

I remember when I was a kid I watched a video stating it was scientifically impossible for humans to run under 10 seconds
We always down play ourselves
Was that before segregation?
@@Phil-ui4tm lol no, something like 2002, even though humans have broke 10 sec since 1968, I think the video was saying back then the timer wasnt very accurate and there is wind speed and etc
