This Interactive Infographic Puts Every Country's Fastest Man in One Race
Usain Bolt is clearly the winner, but there’s some other interesting facts here.
The Hindustan Times recently created an interactive infographic pitting every country’s fastest man against each other in one race. They did this by plotting all the national records in the 100-meter dash, which reveals some interesting facts. While Usain Bolt is clearly the winner, the chart also shows us where each trailing racer stands as Usain crosses the finish line. For example, the second fastest man, America’s Tyson Gay, is more than a meter behind — about the length of a cricket bat the graphic states. As for other countries, India’s Amiya Kumar Mallick finishes at 6.63 meters behind. That’s 10.26 seconds, which is six-tenths of a second slower than Bolt.
