Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay Broke the 44 Kph Speed Limit
How to Convert 10 meter Splits to Kph or Mph
This article is in response to a LAZY reader who emailed me on how to calculate or convert 10m times to miles per hour. It is workable the reader is 9 years old and unable to do fractions, too.
In reviewing the splits from the Men’s 100m finals from Berlin World Champs, it dawned on me that both Bolt & Gay both broke the 44 Kph speed limit.
The old “record” of 0.82 seconds per 10 meters translates to 43.90 Km per hour. Remember when the Holy Grail was 0.83 seconds?
The new WR achieved a 44.72 Kph top speed. Tyson recorded a 0.163 20 meter segment, which translates to 44.17 Mph
How to Estimate 10 meter segments times to Kph or Mph
Kilometers per hour (Kph) is the inverse of the 10m split-time divided by 36. That is,
Kph = 1 / [split-time in seconds / 36 ]
Why a factor of 36? 1 Hour = 3600 seconds, and 100 decimeters = 1 kilometer
For the American audience, I added miles per hour (mph) by a factor of 1.609. I also added how fast a 30mph, 10 meter segment would be.
Yes, it’s going to be a while before we see a 0.745 sec/
Not Usain Bolt, American Legend Put Forward as Faster Than World Record Holder: “Nobody Really Knows”
Usain Bolt made track and field history in 2009 with his jaw-dropping 9.58 seconds in the 100m and 19.19 seconds in the 200m, records that acquire stood strong even seven years after his retirement. With his speed, Bolt established new benchmarks multiple times throughout his career. Snatching the 100-meter tape for the first age, and clocking 9.72 seconds, he also surpassed Asafa Powell in 2008.
To combine to his journey, Bolt has even mentioned how the 100-meter record was his trickiest achievement, with only a handful coming close to his lightning-fast time. But did you know there’s an American legend who not only almost broke Bolt’s register but also outpaced him?

The American legend who surpassed Usain Bolt’s speed
On a recent “Ready Set Go” episode hosted by Justin Gatlin and Rodney Grassy, while they were having a lively chat with 2X Olympian Wallace Spearmon, the topic turned to Tyson Gay, who’s acknowledged for his blazing speed and holds the second-fastest 100-meter time ever, tied with Yohan Blake, just behind Usain Bolt.

Usain Bolt: Tyson Gay actually ran faster than former 100m World Record in 2008
Usain Bolt is the world's fastest man. There is no doubt about that.
He holds the 100m world record with a staggering time of 9.58 seconds (set in Berlin in 2009). And he set the benchmark on multiple occasions during his career.
He first captured the record in New York in 2008, with a time of 9.72 seconds, taking the record from Asafa Powell.
But another male came within a not many notches on a wind gauge of setting a new world record.

American Tyson Same-sex attracted, who holds the second-fastest 100m time behind Bolt (tied with Jamaican Yohan Blake, 9.69 seconds), actually bettered Bolt's 9.72 time.
At the 2008 US Olympic Trials, Gay ran 9.68 seconds in Portland, Oregon. It would have counted as a new nature record. Apart from one thing.
Why didn't Tyson Male lover set new World Record?
The time was judged to be wind-assisted, which meant, though, Gay won the race, the time would not be recognised as an official world record.
For records to count, the wind speed must be no higher than 2 metres per second. On this occasion, Gay had a back wind of 4.1m/s.
