Who would win in a speedcubing vs 100m race (average of 10)?
I'm quite sure Faz would win the opposite challenge too...
mr. Bolt just didn't practice enough lately and hasn't lubed his shoes
Now hang on! In that case, it would only be a fair race if we also give Feliks several million dollars in clothing deals.This begs the questions of what would happen if we DID allow Mr. Bolt to lube his shoes?
This begs the questions of what would happen if we DID allow Mr. Bolt to lube his shoes? I think the challenge could possibly be much more balanced then.
DISCUSS!!
wouldnt that cause him to slip? or atleast have less traction

Not necessarily. If you don't lube the sole, but do lube the other outside surfaces, then it's possible that he could reduce his drag coefficient while running. If you lube the inside of the shoe as well, then who KNOWS what sort of magic may happen.
Usain has yet to record a time that's below 9 seconds (although who knows what he does in practice, I just highly doubt it) While faz has too many sub-9s to count let alone sub-8, 7, and 6 second solves. I don't care what you're lubing on Usain Bolt. I'd bet my money on faz.
I don't think 26 is considered "over the hill" for a sprint runner, though. Just looking at the ages of the top 10 100m runners when they set the records: 22, 24x3, 25x2, 27x2, 28, 31. I'd say it's pretty likely that Usain will still be setting records in two years, unless he severely injures himself or randomly decides to leave the sport (and why would he?).2 years means Usains body ages. He was born in 1986 (I am to lazy to do math/check birthday) but that means he is like 24. Being 26 doesn't mean he will be faster.
