He finished at 9.69 seconds with looking around the stadium, opening his arms and pounding his chest in triumph fifteen yards from the line. His rivals were left behind him. When he almost finished the sprint, he slowed down his speed. You must remember this. Some reports said that he slowed down was just because his shoelace was loose. Is it real? If he tried his best to run, how fast can he finish it? Glen Mills, Bolt's coach, even said that the 22-year-old would have run 9.52 if he had not decelerated. However, Dr Hans Eriksen of the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Oslo, Norway, and his colleagues, used television footage of the race to try to work out his potential speed and found out that he could have run 9.55 seconds. Jesus Christ! I can't believe it. If he could run 9.55 seconds, he might run within 9.50 seconds. The limits will be raised again.
