Carl Lewis, the legendary American Track and Field athlete, is known for his exceptional sprinting abilities, particularly in the 100 meters. His top speed during competition was recorded at approximately 9.86 seconds for the 100 meters, translating to an average speed of around 10.2 meters per second (approximately 22.9 miles per hour). This remarkable speed contributed to his success as a multiple Olympic gold medalist.
The fastest running speed ever recorded is held by Ben Johnson (Canada) and Carl Lewis (USA) who both reached a peak speed of 0.83 seconds over 10 m (43.37 km/h or 26.9 mph) during the 1988 Olympic Games 100-m final in Seoul. And since Ben's performance was aided by steroids, it's invalid. This gives Lewis the fastest recorded human speed record holder.
Carl Lewis' personal best for the 100m is 9.86 s. This works out to an average speed of 10.14 meters per second, or 22.68 mph (36.5 km/h). However, his top speed would have been slightly higher since had to accelerate at the start of the race.
