Olympic legend Usain Bolt is pitted against the world’s fastest dog in 3D simulation… but who comes out on top in the 100m race?

A 3D computer simulation has shown the difference in speed between Usain Bolt and the fastest dog on the planet. 

Bolt, who is an eight-time olympic gold medalist, retired in 2017 but his world record is unlikely to be broken in the near future. 

The 37-year-old became the fastest human when he ran 100m in just 9.58 second during the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. 

The Jamaican sprinter then set a 200m record that same year, clocking a time of 19.19 seconds. 

The likes of Yohan Blake, Tyson Gay and Noah Lyles have all tried and failed to break the record in the past 15 years.  

While humans seem to struggle to compete with Bolt, many have wondered how he would fare against some animals. 

And a new computer-generated simulation has emerged of Bolt racing the fastest breed of dogs, a greyhound. 

Due to their skinny body frame, long legs and flexible spine along with a number of factors, greyhounds average race speeds can exceed 40mph. 

In comparison, Bolt averaged a speed of 23.35mph during his 100m record run. 

So it comes as no surprise that in the simulation, posted by MotionAthlete, he was beaten with ease. 

The greyhound completed the 100m sprint after just 5.80 seconds, almost four seconds faster than bolt.
