September 13, 200818 yr Physicist's math: Minus showboating, 9.55 for Bolt http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/trackandfield/news/story?id=3583692 OSLO, Norway -- A physicist has done the math, and says Usain Bolt could have run the 100-meter Olympic final in 9.55 seconds if he had not slowed down to showboat. "We estimate that he could have finished the race in a time between 9.55 and 9.61," Norwegian physicist Hans Eriksen said Friday in a telephone interview. Bolt won the final at the Beijing Olympics last month in 9.69 seconds, shaving 0.03 seconds off the record he set in May.
