This article talks about Usain Bolt and his achievements in running as well as comparing his speed with that of other athletes and animals.
Bolt holds both the 100m and 200m world records - 9.58 and 19.19 seconds respectively - and the last three Olympic titles in each event. He is regarded as the fastest human ever timed with his world records since automatic timing became mandatory.
The fastest recorded human footspeed was recorded between 60-80m in Bolt's world record 9.58-second 100m final in Berlin in 2009, clocked at 44.72km/h (27.8mph). Jamaican covered distance between 60-80m in 1.61 seconds only.
Officially, yes but unpopular answer is 'no' because of wind-assisted run from Justin Gatlin who ran 100m in 9.45 secs which smashed Bolt's world record by 0.13 secs but it did not count due to 20 m/s tail wind during Japanese game show recording time; no one has been recorded running faster from stationary start on flat surface yet though!
On average, 200m sees faster running speeds than 100m due to athletes not having to react & accelerate much; fastest times come from 4x100 relay where anchor leg runner can accelerate before receiving baton & run through line; Bolt's anchor leg at 2014 Commonwealth Games was 865 secs long!
According to American Museum of Natural History, 27 mph over 100 m does not compare too favorably with cheetahs'.
Usain Bolt set the current 100m world record at the 2009 IAAF World Championships, clocking an astonishing 9.58 seconds for the feat. At the record-winning event, Usain Bolt’s average ground speed was 37.58km/h, whilst reaching a top speed of 44.72km/h in the 60-80m stretch – numbers fitting for the world’s fastest man.
