Not stalking you just offering the following info:

The accepted ‘rule of thumb’ way of adjusting for wind is halving the reading and in the case of a head wind subtract it from the time recorded.

Therefore it’s a 9.82 wind adjusted time.

Of course the wind affects each athlete differently so it’s impossible to say exactly what the wind affect would be on Bolt - but it would be different to say Blake or Powell.

Generally though the stronger the wind the more ‘exponential’ the affect.

It is exponential into a headwind but I’d put it much higher. I’d give it a full two tenths off a Sevastocrator says under any reasonable conditions and a bigger differential with a high legal tail- low 9.60s. He is just murdering the fields and we’ll see soon enough.
