By my reckoning now Tyson has run the fastest 100m split ever: his flying segmental between 50m and 150m in that chilly straight 200m exhibition. Next fastest (flying) 100m was Asafa’s anchor in Beijing, then came Usain’s anchor in Penn Relays - although all relay splits should be taken with a certain discretionary caution.

I believe that Bolt’s official split last year was 8.70 and Tyson’s split this year was 8.72. Asafa ran 8.70 in Beijing and 8.73 in Berlin. Usain’s anchor at Penn Relays was 8.79.
