The Fastest Man Alive
While The Flash might not be real, Usain Bolt surely is. The Jamaican track star holds the world records in the 100m and 200m races, both of which were set in 2009. He also helped Jamaica capture the 4x100m relay world record but this would later be beaten. When tested for his top speed, scientists found Bolt can reach a maximum of 27.7 miles per hour. Although he cannot maintain it for long, he’s only a sprinter, this is the fastest speed of any human to ever live.
The genetic lottery helps Bolt, as he’s 6’5 and a little over 200lbs. Bolt’s tall, lean frame allows him to get longer strides over his slightly smaller competitors. However, the power in his movements and ability to hit his top speed almost immediately shows how well he’s trained. This all happens from the moment everything starts. There he has to get a good push off with his feet, then maintain and increase that power as he hits top speed. That takes a long time to perfect, but Bolt has made a career out of this. His record-breaking performances are clearly some of the greatest athletic accomplishments ever.
