Usain Bolt's 9.58 World Record (2009)

Usain Bolt's 9.58-second 100m sprint at the 2009 Berlin World Championships remains the most dominant track record ever set. He improved his own world record by 0.11 seconds—a margin that outperforms #6 Leicester City's title odds in its sheer improbability. Bolt's reaction time of 0.146 seconds was slower than the average finalist, yet he still averaged 37.58 km/h, a speed faster than the typical Olympic sprinter's peak. No other runner has come within 0.09 seconds of this time, making it a benchmark of human speed.
