Usain Bolt raced average humans in 100m race and what happened next is extraordinary

Usain Bolt raced average humans in 100m race and what happened next is extraordinary

Usain Bolt still holds the world record for 100 and 200 metres...

Usain Bolt's records at 100 and 200 metres have stood the test of time to say the very least.

It is now 15 years since Bolt posted his personal-best attempts at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin and the retired Jamaican is yet to be beaten.

So that begs the very question as to how would Bolt fare against the fairly average human being?

The now 38-year-old put that to bed back in 2016, as James Corden challenged him to a 100m dash on his hit American show 'The Late Late Show'.

Bolt was tasked with racing against Corden, actor Owen Wilson and all of the staff from the show.

It was no surprise that the record-breaking sprinter made light work of all his competition, flying home in first place.

Corden's physique shone through in a skin-tight top and he quickly fell behind most of the competition.

Wilson tried cheekily to grab a head start but also failed miserably in his attempts to best the Olympian.

Bolt zoomed ahead before slowing down into a light canter to romp home in top spot.

After the race, Bolt said: "Usain Bolt, one. James Corden, one hundred. He ain't ready."

Bolt finished the segment by posing with his trademark pose having conquered yet another set of fairly-average opponents.

It is perhaps testament to Bolt's hard work across the years that his records are yet to fall.

US sprinter Noah Lyles has come the closest at 200m - posting a 19.31 time in Eugene in 2022.

Bolt's current record stands at 19.19 and Lyles has in the past admitted his mission is to one day conquer the all-time Jamaican great.

Speaking about the record in 2023, Lyles said: "I know that I'm going to break it.

"The second most-popular, favourite hobby of humans − after watching somebody achieve greatness − is watching them fail.

"People love to watch people fail. They just do. I don't know why.

"It's just if somebody says they want to do something great, someone's right there next to say they can't do it.

"I can give zero cares about what other people think.

"Because they don't know me, they don't know my story, they don't know what I do, they don't know how hard I work, how talented I am. But I know."
