It’s important to note that bolt ran on a track and used starting blocks. So really he’d probably be around 4.17.

And it should also be noted that over short distances, NFL players are very fast. DK Metcalf, for example, was able to keep up with 10.0 sprinters for about 40-60 metres before they overtook him.

I appreciate it when people call out exaggerations in track, and it seems to happen all the time. You called out the BBC for their obvious exaggeration. However you also exaggerated yourself by saying if Mbappe ran a 10.9 he would be 20 to 25 meters behind Bolt when he cross the finish line of his 9.58 or actually 9.572 world record 100 meter race. Mbappe would be between 1.3 and 1.4 seconds behind Bolt. There is no way a human being can run 25 meters or even 20 meters in 1.4 seconds. Not even Bolt himself could run that fast.

Bolt's accelerating at that point and 0.29 seconds is by any account a very accurate interpolation for that 40 yards to 40 metres segment, so Bolt's 40 yard time was 4.32s (4.17 w/o the reaction time). I'm going to go out on a limb and say they were within a 0.01 seconds from each other in that short 6.5 metre segment.

"A second slower" kill me🤣🤣 damn🤣🤣

[@ababagogynqa8614]

What else is funny is that they probably got this 10.9 for Mbappe from looking at his top speed. If we took bolts top speed (~ 44km/h) and did the same, he would run like 8.2 second for the 100m. So this is just a complete non-comparison.

[@njsfer]

Not really, and I'll explain why: In football, GPS devices are used to track players' heart rate, speed, distance, and exact location on the field, among other metrics. Additionally, the length of a football field is known, making it easy to calculate a player's speed. It should be noted that the standard size of a football field is 105m x 68m. While Mbappe would not be able to compete with Bolt, he could become a decent sprinter with proper training. Mbappe achieved the 10.9 while standing, starting slowly, and looking to his teammate to receive the ball. He changed direction slowly and then sprinted the last few meters with the ball. It is important to note that running on natural grass is different from running on a track, as the soft surface absorbs most of the force exerted on the ground. I have personally experienced this while sprinting on grass, where it took me longer to get off the ground.

[@itsinthetreesitscoming7431]

@@njsfer Ok, he didn't 'achieve' a 10.9 though did he? I mean since when did any footballer in the history of the game actually sprint 100 metres in one run? The 10.9 was an estimate based on the highest velocity he achieved and extrapolated out, and wouldn't account for the obvious deceleration that a footballer would exhibit over the final 40 metres of a 100 metres run, which would be much more obvious than with an actual pro sprinter. What, you think someone actually timed Mbappe running for 100 meters from a dead start, both with and without the ball and he ran 10.9? He wouldn't even run a 10.9 on a nice bouncy track in spikes, unless maybe he had a hurricane behind him....

[@maickelvanee2540]

​@@itsinthetreesitscoming7431bro he just explained you how they calculated it, with the exact route he ran and you just start making up how they did 😂😂😂

[@njsfer]

​@@itsinthetreesitscoming7431 Tell me you don't know or you've never watched football without actually telling me. I don't know how they measured, they didn't share the methodology. But it looks like you know how they measured, so please share the link. I just watched an older video of him running from one side of the field to the other (yes, many players do that, I'll explain why later). In this video (search for "Mbappe speed 39km") he takes 12 seconds (I timed it) to go from the goal area line to the opposite goal, which is exactly 99.5m. But he starts slowly and only after 4 seconds he starts to accelerate, always holding on and looking like his teammate who had the ball, then he receives it and dribbles the opponent while sprinting as fast as possible, then he shoots and scores. Unlike track where you have a lot of room to slow down, in football you have the advertising boards and you have to slow down before you even get to the end of the field. He would easily shave off more than 1 second if he were to run straight without having to score, receive the ball, look at his teammates, and start slow. Also, natural grass is super soft, so it absorbs a lot of the force you put into it, unlike tracks that are built to be bouncy and responsive. He also runs in cleats, which are softer than track shoes and designed to provide a lot of grip when changing direction. As for soccer players sprinting from one side of the field to the other, they do it when they're big so they can defend pretty well, and if there's a counterattack, they have to run all the way to their attack to score, like he did in this video. Cristiano Ronaldo does it all the time, Haaland does it a lot, Mbappé does it, a lot of players do it. The fact that you said "Since when has a footballer in the history of the game actually sprinted 100 meters in one run?" just shows that you know nothing about football. And there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't talk like you know little about it.

[@RurbanWalker]

@@njsfer why do you say "not really" when nothing you follow with disagrees with what the person before you wrote?

[@jamaulwhyte]

3:57 I think it's quite realistic for a footballer to run competitive sprint times and still have endurance. Basing this on the fact I was a sub 11 sprinter playing 90 minute football games. Due to the fact my top speed was significantly higher than most players on the pitch I wasn't constantly running at my stop speed. So I always had enough in the tank to cover the mileage in a 90 min game.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

So you're saying Bolt would smash this dude in the 40 and then carry on running another 71 yards after he's pulled up to break the 100m world record? Doesn't seem real does it.

[@SimplyComplicated1]

I tell non-T&F people that a 1 second difference is roughly a 10m gap in the 100m and 200m at the pro level. Close on paper but not on the track lol

[@victoradeyemi6826]

I raise my Su Bing Tian card

[@jesusrumbo1852]

Yes, I did the math on Su’s 60 meter split WR and converted it, calculating that his 40 yard dash in that same race would have been around 3.84.

[@itsinthetreesitscoming7431]

@@jesusrumbo1852 No chance. At all... Christian Coleman, who is a better 60 metre runner than Bingtian, ran 4.11 in a 40 yard dash test. So you're saying that Bingtian would be like nearly 3 metres ahead of him after 36.6 metres? Your maths are woeful.

[@PropertiesForSaleInJamaica]

AND Bolt was NEVER known to be a great starter.....crazy top end though 💪🏿🇯🇲

[@malligrub]

The timing system at the combines is based on the athletes movement and usually gives them about 0.3 - 0.5s benefit at least, compared to actual Olympic timing. Bolt’s times under those conditions would literally be in the 3.8s range under the same conditions. Ps Bolt ran 6.29s based on the more accurate cameras (not 6.31 based on the laser system)

[@DanielHobson-yi7rh]

Wait I’m actually interested in what you have to say. I’ve heard many people saying (myself included) that Bolt has the second fastest 60m split of a 100m race of all time (6.31) behind Su Bingtian’s 6.29. But I’ve also heard many people saying that Bolt’s ran 6.29 (in his 9.58), and I thought it was because they were getting mixed up with Su’s 6.29 but now I’m not so sure. If you could post links that show what you were saying then that would be great! :)

[@DANGJOS]

What more accurate cameras??

[@DanielHobson-yi7rh]

@@DANGJOS That’s what I’m wondering. Interesting to know whether he ran 6.29 or 6.31 for his first 60m

[@markonikolic4028]

Did you mention how Mbappe's speed was probably recorded starting from a point where Mbappe was probably already moving while sprinters start stationary?

[@aliensintheloft]

It's also from a flying start, nothing like a standing start, which makes the estimated time even slower than 10.9.

[@Valiant008]

Guess I should really be bragging more about my 100m time being within 3 seconds of Bolt's - didn't realize how impressive that was🤣

[@smerel12]

TRP is calling out the BBC NOW???

[@CarterPrull]

The reality is that bolts weakness was the start to his race so his 40 isn’t as impressive as you’d think it is. Bolts first 30m in his race was 3.634 seconds if you take off reaction time. Then if you add in his average speed from 30-40m for the remaining 6.576 meters to make 40 yards, you get something around 4.19-4.21. Bolt excelled at high top end speed and maintaining that speed to pull away from competition. Very rarely was bolt the first one to 20-30 meters

[@DANGJOS]

Yes, thank you! That is the correct way to do the calculation! I went backwards from 40 meters, rather than forwards from 30 meters like you did, but it doesn't matter. I got about 4.20 seconds. Also, it should be slightly slower than the average of the 30-40 meter time, but regardless, largely correct. I'm not sure where Total Running Productions got their estimate, but they were mistaken in their calculations.

I don’t think I’d ever say that a mostly non contact sport (it gets dirty in those distance events) is the hardest sport. Track and field is harder and more technical and strategic then most people give it credit for but I wouldn’t say that it is the hardest due to it being an individual non contact sport.

[@theemperorofdrifts5854]

[@Prime_Legend]

[@alatreon7451]

I ran the calculations of the Mbappe example. Assuming ideal conditions (both racers instantaneously accelerate to their average speed in their runs and maintain it throughout the run): 1. Mbappe would be running about 1.25 m/s slower than Bolt (9.174 m/s vs. 10.438 m/s) 2. By the time Bolt crossed the finish line, Mbappe would be about 11.1101 meters behind him. (For my fellow Americans that’s about 36 and a half feet)

[@teebee911]

Yeah that "25m behind" is so off target...

The problem with trying to extrapolate times is that you don't figure in fatigue. Yes, he might be fast for about 30 meters but can he sustain, get faster, or hit a wall before the finish line.

NFL doesn't use blocks. So you can't compare Bolt's time on a track to an NFL combine time. Also, thanks for mentioning that Bolt's 40 yard run was nowhere near official. He got timed on a fan attraction. No team in the world would accept that time as accurate.

And, he would dust a LOT of the areas defenses (in 1996/97... We played Valley Highschool when they played Grant Highschool for the area Championships, before-Grant-headed to State). I was considered fast, and he would leave us all by about 5-10 yards (in any footrace).
