Table below shows typical olympic and championship athletic distances (race and walk) in metric system of measurement (meters and kilometers) and their conversion into imperial and us system of measurement (yards and miles). For example, as you can see, 100 meters (shortest outdor sprint distance) is equal to 0.1 kilometer [km], 109.4 yards [yd] and 0.06 imperial mile [mi]; 400 m in yards is 437.4 yd; Marathon distance in miles is 26.667 etc.

Today (22 Aug 2009) Usain Bolt will run again. This time, together with other jamaican sprinters, in 4×100 meters relay. Is the jamaican team able to break another world record? Current World Record in 4×100 relay sprint was set by Jamaican team (Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell) at Olympic Games Beijing 2008. They ran the relay in 37.10 s. World Championships Record in 4×100 m relay stands at 37.38 as set by American Team (Darvis Patton, Wallace Spearmon, Tyson Gay, LeRoy Dixon) in 2007.
He did it again. Next final race and next world record. August 20th, 2009 Usain Bolt ran 200 m in 19.19 at the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics Berlin 2009. He is genius and amazing sprinter.
I think, after his 100 m final race in Berlin when Bolt broke his own record, everybody was sure that he is able to break the record in 200 m race. The question was: how fast he can run? Now, we got the answer. Usain Bolt ran 200 m in 19.19 and his average speed on this distance was 10.4221 m/s. (Click on the link to get conversion into other units of measurement e.g mph, kmh, yd/s)
When and what time does 200 m final men’s in Berlin 2009
The final 200 m men’s race is scheduled for Thursday, 20 August 2009 20:35 (Berlin local time – CEST) [11:35 AM PDT, 2:35 PM EDT]
Usain Bolt’s amazing 100m world record shows that he is the fastest man in the world ever. Is he able to break the 200 m world record? Let’s try to predict Bolt’s time in 200m final race in Berlin 2009.
Bolt’s speed and time prediction during the final 200 m race in Berlin 2009
Usain’s Bolt average speed in the winning 100m men’s race was: 100m/9.58s = 10.43841 m/s (23.3501mph). So, if he can run 200 meters with this speed, he can get the time 200m/10.43841m/s = 19.16s !!! (his current world record is 19.30s) but, as we look at previous world records (see table below), average speed on 200m distance is faster then during 100m race, so we can expect even better result.
As we can see, 200m distance speed is about 0.4-0.6% faster then on 100m distance. So, expected Bolt’s speed could vary beetween 10.43 m/s and 10.50 m/s. It gives us amazing times between 19.175s and 19.048s. I, personaly, think that Usain Bolt is able to run 200 m in Berlin in about 19.15s
Today (16.08.2009), during 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics Berlin 2009, Usain Bolt will try to break his own world record in 100 m race. The final race is scheduled 21:35 (local time).
