- Usain Bolt became the fastest human when he broke records in the 100 and 200 meters in 2009
- Greyhounds are the fastest dog breed and can reach speeds of over 60 km per hour
- Bolt took on a greyhound in a dazzling computer-generated simulation
A 3D computer simulation has shown the speed difference between Usain Bolt and the fastest dog in the world.
Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medalist, retired in 2017 but is unlikely to break his world record in the near future.
The 37-year-old became the fastest human when he ran the 100 meters in just 9.58 seconds at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.
The Jamaican sprinter set a record in the 200 meters that same year, with a time of 19.19 seconds.
The likes of Yohan Blake, Tyson Gay, and Noah Lyles have all tried and failed to break the record over the past fifteen years.

Bolt took on a greyhound in a dazzling computer-generated simulation
Although people seem to have trouble competing with Bolt, many have wondered how he would fare against some animals.
And a new computer-generated simulation has emerged in which Bolt races the fastest breed of dog, a greyhound.
Due to their lean body frame, long legs and flexible spine, along with a number of factors, greyhounds’ average racing speeds can exceed 60 km/h.
By comparison, Bolt achieved an average speed of 37.35 km/h during his record 100-meter run.
So it’s no surprise that in the simulation, posted by MovementAthletehe was defeated with ease.
The greyhound completed the 100-meter sprint in just 5.80 seconds, almost four seconds faster than lightning.
