Best possible 100m: 9,56

Dont know if this has already been posted…
Do you think this is possible?

What speaks against it? Well, a sprinter who explodes out of the blocks “wastes” energie that is helpful at the SE-Phase.

But what speaks for these calculation?Well, watch how often Maurice Greene is listed: It seems that it might be possible to run a WHOLE race at this level.

So,what do you think about it?

Total (with Jon Drummonds Perfect 0.100s reaction time from the Monaco GP in 1993): 9.56s

As nearly all of the above 10m split times came from my Video-Analysis footage I shall list the Video-Speeds for the videos in which certain splits were taken from.

Video-Speeds: Donovan Bailey (9.84s Atlanta OG 1996, w+0.7m/s, & 9.93s Lausanne GP 1996, w-0.4m/s) 50Hz for both videos.

Frankie Fredericks (9.86s Lausanne GP 1996, w-0.4m/s) 50Hz

Maurice Greene (9.79WR Athens GP 1999, w+0.1m/s, 9.82s Edmonton WCH 2001, w-0.2m/s, 9.85s Roma GP 1999, w+0.8m/s, 9.86s Berlin GL 2000, w-0.2m/s, 9.87s Stockholm GP 1999, w+1.3m/s, 9.87s Sydney OG 2000, w-0.3m/s, 9.93s Lausanne GP 1999,) 50Hz,25Hz,75Hz,50Hz,25Hz,25Hz & 60Hz respectively.

Carl Lewis (9.99s Los Angeles OG 1984,w+0.2m/s & 10.02s Stuttagrt WCH 1993, w+0.3m/s) 65Hz & 50Hz respectively.

Tim Montgomery (9.78WR Paris GP Final 2002, w+2.0m/s, 9.84s Olso GL 2001, w+2.0m/s & 9.85s Edmonton WCH 2001, -0.2m/s) 25Hz, 60Hz & 25Hz respectively.

Just a little remark on the side - it’s interesting how Ben shows up in all splits up to 50m while Carl “wins” all splits from 70-100m.
Shows the different types the two where…

There was said a lot about “limits” of human performances possible over the 100 in the following thread:

http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/showthread.php?t=334

Anyhow - if someone can run 9.56, why should it be absolutely impossible to run 9.55? :wink:

This was discussed before. One of the problems with it is that they use non-electric splits and try to include them in there, which is not nearly as accurate as the true electric splits. Interesting too is that it doesn’t include BJ’s .81x in Zurich.

I have seen that befor, Maurice Greene “Greatest of all-time” is in every split.

that man, was immense.

not only a championship performer, but i true heavyweight.
