Tribute to Usain Bolt - 100m stats This video clip [1] shows 100m running data for every champion since 1896, and the progress of the fastest under-18 runners by age (from 8 to 18), in comparison to Usain Bolt's fastest 100m time of 9.58s (2009). In the 200m, Bolt's record of 19.19s (2009) is equivalent to running two world record 100m races consecutively (9.60 + 9.59). By comparison, yesterday's final IAAF World Championship, Usain Bolt's last 100m final, was a slow race, with Gatlin winning at 9.93s.
