Usain Bolt’s 100m world record: Scientists reveal whether it will ever be broken

Usain Bolt famously won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics with a shockingly exceptional time of 9.69 seconds, iconically jogging to the line after obliterating the field in the early stages of the race.

A year on from that, he broke the world record with a 9.58 second time in Berlin, showing us just how fast the Jamaican really was.

So far, 13 years on from that historic day, no one has even managed to come close to that time with Bolt himself not even being able to replicate anything like that, setting an obscene record whilst finally being at full tilt for the full race.

A fair few sprinters have managed to join Bolt in posting times below 10 seconds, but can anyone get close to the record Bolt set and become the first athlete to post a time under nine seconds?
