Usain Bolt broke the world record in the 100m dash with a time of 9.58 seconds in Berlin in 2009. Maddy is my 2 yo lab mix mutt rescue dog from Louisiana. She is very fast. Is she as fast as the fastest man on earth???
I had students who were 10 second flat 100 meter runners as D1 college athletes. One saw me on campus with my Siberian husky and bet he could catch her and tag her tail while running. Bless his heart for trying. Even Bolt couldn't have caught a sled dog at full speed if he'd tried.
yeah, the dog was pulling up the entire time. I saw a dog chase a chicken one time and it's a whole other level of speed and intensity when dogs actually want to run hard.
The main part of this to remember is that this dog could easily catch up to anyone if she wanted to, because if a dog is serious or specifically, running more than 100m, then you'll definitely be caught
Maddy isn't even trying to sprint her hardest though lol. If she knew what was happening, she may have gone faster. Plus, the reaction time of 2 men on top and it's definitely under 10.
I retimed the run off of the video with a handheld old fashioned stop watch. I consistently got 9.6 seconds. So Maddy was almost exactly as fast as Usain Bolt. When I did the original timing on the video I was using a somewhat unresponsive smart phone touch screen that gave an inaccurate measure.
I had a little Scottie I would do this with, that little girl could fly. I have to admit my surprise, a Scottie, low to the grown and short legs. She ran like a jet. Sadly, I had to put her down at the age of 18. She'll always be in my Heart. When the Love is real, it never dies.
Fast dog but almost half the speed of a greyhound. Greyhounds run their first 100 meters in about 5.5 seconds. They are the world's fastest breed and they have a double suspension gallop so all four paws are off the ground when they are fully extended so they are flying during their run.
op.mellow 07 he broke the record in both years. 08 in Beijing olympics. He ran 9.69 shutting down 15 to 10 meters to the line. 09 was world championships he ran 9.58.
Considering that Usain Bolt gets around 9 and a half seconds on rubber, I still wouldn’t expect about 10 seconds on a flatish field. The time would vary max a quarter second.
For some reason this video was recommended to me 11 years later. But this is the same park I would go to as a kid in Washington. This is kinda scary. What does RU-vid know? Lol 😆
pistol pete I mean when I say fastest man in the world, it should be a little obvious that even as a human, he is faster than some random 2 year old dog. No need to get your panties in a wad.
+Sporkonafork1 It's not some "random dog". It's the fastest breed the n the world that can reach speeds of 40mph. While Bolt can reach only in the twenties.
