HUMAM SPEED LIMIT??-Bradley King

This page was interesting to me first of all because I run track, and its a very important part of my life. I, along with the rest of the world was amazed when Usain Bolt broke his previous set world record in the 100 meters. The question ask by this article is, is there a human speed limit? How fast can the body go before it cant go any faster? Professor Peter Weyand, a physiologist stated in the article that he wouldn't be surprised if the record dropped below 9 seconds in the next 10 years. I recommend this article to anyone that is interested in track and field, and anyone that wants to read about something truly amazing. This article is cited well. The author uses cites in the article, and gives the picture subtitles. My one question about this article is will the 100 meters go below 9 in the next decade, or will the 200 meters go below 19 in the next decade??
