The pace comparisons between Usain Bolt and other forces of nature get interesting every single time. Be it animals or cars, Bolt’s stunning dominance for nearly two decades captured the minds and hearts of every sports fan. Being tagged the fastest man alive, he surely was the ‘Lightning Bolt’. While everyone knows about the cheetah story and the T-Rex stories, let’s check out where he compares with automobiles.

Man’s greatest creation, going head-to-head with Bolt, is a fascinating talking point. Are there any machines that Bolt can actually catch up with?

Usain Bolt vs automobiles

Let’s get to the basics of a machine. A simple car. No, not even a cheetah can reach a Ferrari at top speeds! The fastest sports car crosses the line in about 5 seconds. Cars are shaped in a way to minimize wind resistance while Bolt does not have that option. Although, he can definitely compete with a cyclist.

A cyclist depends on the capability of the rider to push through. In one simulation, though, a cyclist wins by 0.16 seconds at the end of the finishing line. Moving onto roller blades, Bolt can easily defeat a person on skates. In 100-meters, Bolt clocked 9.58 seconds at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, a world record, that a few have come close to. On the other hand, because of a slow start, a roller skater would need to exert a good amount of force to finish the line. According to Marathon Handbook, the 100-meter standing start world record clocks at 9.68 seconds.

In the meantime, a fusion of man and equipment can lead to an interesting battle between Bolt and Chen.

A competition with Nathan Chen?

While Tyreek Hill and Usain Bolt saga gathers steam, a 100-meter dash between Nathan Chen and Usain Bolt would be interesting. Although Chen is a figure skater, he won’t have any qualms about battling with Bolt for a 100-meter dash. How can it happen? Just build a track with ice and a track parallel to each other. Tennis players Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer battled it out on two separate surfaces. While Nadal loves clay, Federer’s romance with grass is beautiful. The duo battled it out to show which player comes on top.

Hence, in terms of a matchup between an ice skater and the world’s fastest athlete, it would be a great battle to witness. As comparing machines to humans looks a tad complicated, man vs man counts for an intense battle. Do you guys want to see a battle between Bolt and Chen?
