These numbers are estimates from a sprint velocity curve fitted to Usain Bolt's official Berlin 2009 splits. A 40 is timed from first movement and often by hand, so football 40s convert to optimistic 100m times. How the estimate works
- Usain Bolt 9.58 s (world record)Bolt wins by 4.9 m
- Noah Lyles 9.79 s (PB)Lyles wins by 2.4 m
- Gout Gout 10.00 s (PB)Dead heat

Legal vs. wind-assisted
A 100m or 200m only counts for records and personal bests when the tailwind is 2.0 m/s or less. Gout's 9.99 runs at the 2025 Australian Championships in Perth came with +3.5 and +2.6 m/s, so his legal best is the 10.00 from Brisbane in February 2026, run when he was 18 (born 29 December 2007).
