10 Most Outstanding Records in Athletics

Usain Bolt

• 100 meters - 9.58 seconds. (16.08.2009)

The current world record was registered in Germany. At the 2009 World Championships, it was choreographed by six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt. The sprinter, originally from Germany, beat his own record by one tenth with a tailwind of 2 meters per second. The Jamaican set the 100m record three times. At the same time, for the last time he traditionally slowed down at the finish line. Probably, in this way, the outstanding athlete decided to leave room for future achievement. Not at all, he was no longer able to shine on the treadmill. However, he still performs. It is worth adding that each world record in athletics significantly replenishes the “treasury” of athletes!

He jumped to almost 9. A noticeable difference, right?
