Who is the fastest human runner ever?

sprinter Usain Bolt
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is still known as the fastest man alive. Though he retired in 2017 (and had lost a race or two), the eight-time Olympic gold medalist currently holds the official world record for both the men’s 100-meter and 200-meter sprints, which he achieved at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

Why is 200m faster than 100m?

Unlike the 100m race which requires pure explosive power, a 200m runner must maintain this speed and have “speed endurance”. The world record in the 200m event is also held by Usain Bolt, who set the 19.19 second record at the 2009 World Athletics Championships.

Who is faster bolt or Cheetah?

Bolt ran 100 meters in 9.58 seconds compared with the 5.8 seconds it would take a cheetah to cover that same distance. Bolt ran 200 meters in 19.19 seconds, while a cheetah could sprint that distance in 6.9 seconds, a Black Caviar racehorse would gallop the same in 9.98 seconds, and a greyhound in 11.2 seconds.
