blog.wired.com — As astonishing as Usain Bolt's record-breaking 100-meter sprint was, his time of 9.69 seconds is nowhere near what biostatisticians predict is the natural limit for the human body. But because he broke the mathematical model that had fit 100-meter record data for almost a century, Bolt resets how fast researchers believe humans can run.

Humans don't have infinite power. We're maxed out.

Usain Bolt is also freakishly obnoxious

in 40 more years, with much more data, it will be trivial to predict a possible limit.

Of course there's a human limit. Do you think it's possible for someone to run 100m in 1 second (without any technological assistance)? You have to consider physical limits and the fact that running faster requires more muscle power, but more muscle mass means more weight, etc.
