I just heard a Track reporter say Bolt could run the 40 in 3.82 seconds going by his recent runs. DAMN!!!

That's Madden 95 type speed there. I miss running the 40 by pushing the buttons rather than using the thumbsticks. Having a turbo controller was a big help.

I watched the coverage of his 200M world record last night, and it was said that he covered the final 40 meters in 2.9 seconds, meaning that his peak cruising speed is right around 30 MPH - THE MAN IS A FREAK OF NATURE!!! The records that he's setting may stand for 20+ years.

I don't think he could pull that off... if you watch his 100 races, he pulls away during the last 55-60 meters. The 40 relies heavily on the start and all sprinters don't reach top speed until after the first few seconds.

I don't know how the guy calculated it but he pretty much stands by it. But of course I agree about not reaching top speed right away.

No doubt... but I also think starting off blocks and running on a track gives a bit of an advantage over three point stance on grass too. Regardless, he's be pretty swift in the 40- I actually think Asafa Powell may be better in a straight burst race like the 40.
