USAIN BOLT -- COULD HAVE BEEN FASTER IN BEIJING 100M



A Norwegian physicist has answered the question running through the minds of more than a billion people who were watching the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and wondered what time Jamaica's Usain Bolt would have clocked in if he had not slowed down towards the end of the 100m sprint where he clocked 9.69 seconds.

The time that the Jamaican thunderBOLT would have clocked in was a staggering 9.55 seconds. Usain Bolt is now in the realm of true athletic legends -- places that athletic heroes go to when they send people's imagination into an uncontrollable tailspin with their astounding feats.
