ATHLETICS Usain Bolt giving Jamaican influencers a run for their money following latest statistics
The latest survey from Jamaica has shown that Usain Bolt, with his massive social media following, can generate 30 times the amount that Jamaican influencers can generate.
That led the fan to claim that Bolt's speed was 23.35 mph in 2009 when he shattered the 100m world record at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, adding that the center-back’s speed was only 0.12 mph less than the legendary sprinter's recorded speed.
Bolt ran an astonishing 9.58 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin in what was the 12th edition of the World Championships and although his average speed was 23.35 mph, his highest recorded speed during the race was 27.8mph, which is 44.72km/h, and Lyles moved with speed to set the record straight.
