In the prelims he ran the 100 meters in 9.84 seconds.

That's about 33 feet per second. I'm trying to wrap my mind around that.

"33 feet per second"

I almost stepped on a skunk one time. And he had his tail turned towards me. I believed I exceed 33 feet per second in removing myself from the skunk's presence.

In high school I went to a meet and watched Carl Lewis and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. It was fun, but to watch this guy would be amazing!! Hope he stays healthy. Injuries are so frequent with good sprinters. The back and forth between contacting and relaxing the muscles is so incredibly fast.
