What is the Olympic record for the men's 100 meter? What is the world record for the men's 100 meter? What is the Olympic women's shotput record? Every few years, I hear about some new person who just broke the 100 meter record, from something like 10.01 seconds, to 9.89 seconds, to 9.77 seconds, to now 9.76 seconds. Is there a humanly possible limit to just how fast a human can run 100 meters, and could part of the record keeping be inaccurate due to the timing (of a hundredth of a second!)?
