The splits imply that had Bolt not slowed down, he would have done 9.60 or even 9.59!!! That is mind boggling to even contemplate.I saw somehwere where he covered the distance in 39 strides. Normal people cover in 43,44,45 or so. Who is this guy? What is his limit? Will he remake this sport? Does someone have a guess?????
