- Usain Bolt broke 100m and 200m records, becoming the fastest man on Earth
- Bolt competed against Greyhound in computer-generated simulation
- Greyhounds are the fastest dog breed and can reach speeds of over 40 miles per hour
Usain Bolt's incredible speed was put to the test in a 3D computer simulation, pitting the Olympic legend against the fastest dog on the planet.
Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medalist, retired in 2017, but his world record, an incredible feat of breaking both the 100m and 200m records, is unlikely to be broken in the near future. low.
The 37-year-old became the fastest man on Earth at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, running 100 meters in just 9.58 seconds.
In the same year, the Jamaican sprinter set a 200 meter record, clocking 19.19 seconds.
Yohan Blake, Tyson Gay, Noah Lyles and others have tried and failed to break the record over the past 15 years.
Humans seem to have a hard time competing against bolts, but many are wondering how bolts fare against some animals.
Now comes a new computer-generated simulation in which Bolt races the fastest breed of dog, a greyhound.
Due to the greyhound's slender build, long legs, flexible spine, and a variety of other factors, the greyhound's average racing speed can exceed 40 miles per hour.
In contrast, Bolt recorded an average speed of 23.35 mph during his 100-meter record.
So it's no wonder he easily lost in the simulation posted by MotionAthlete.
Greyhound completed the 100-meter dash in just 5.80 seconds, nearly four seconds faster than Bolt.
This isn't the first time Bolt's speed has been tested in a 3D simulation.
Earlier this month, another virtual test was conducted to see who would win the 100m race between Bolt and PSG's Kylian Mbappé, who has become famous for his blistering speed.
Mbappé's 100-meter run time has never been recorded on a track, but the Speed Showdown channel calculated his time based on his all-time fastest time of 23.6 mph. [38km/h].
Video of the virtual race between the two players offers viewers a variety of angles, including a POV of Mbappe as he quickly overtakes Bolt.
Bolt finished with a time of 9.58 seconds, while Mbappé was much slower with a time of 10.90 seconds.
