Haven’t seen the race (NBC are video feed nazis) but I’m looking forward to it. That time is ridiculous. I agree with drivephase….this just shows how out of sight that record was. It took a man with 9.5x speed to break it. Based off this time, I don’t think Bolt could break 44 without a running start right now. The residual isn’t in his favor. More specifically, MJ was presumably in about 9.9 low shape when he ran 19.32 and 43.49 at the 96 Games in ATL. If you plot that out and use something similar for Usain, he’d predict out considerably over 44.
