Abstract
For both casual and avid fans alike, Olympic and other sporting events can provide a wealth of data for simple physics analyses. One of the most impressive performances in recent Olympic history is that of Usain Bolt in the track-and-field sprinting events during the 2008 Summer Games. Over a seven-day span, Bolt set world records in the 100-m and 200-m individual sprints and in the 4 × 100-m sprint relay. In addition, Bolt left us all wondering what record time he might have run had he not eased into the finish line in the 100-m dash. Naturally, one question many fans and observers immediately ask is: What makes Usain Bolt unique as a sprinter?
