As of my last update in October 2023, the Senior Sprint Records are typically held by elite athletes in track and field, particularly in events like the 100 meters and 200 meters. For men, Usain Bolt holds the world record for the 100 meters at 9.58 seconds, while Florence Griffith-Joyner holds the women's 100 meters record at 10.49 seconds. For the 200 meters, Bolt also holds the men's record at 19.19 seconds, and Griffith-Joyner holds the women's record at 21.34 seconds. These records are subject to change as new athletes compete and potentially break them.
