A 3D simulation has compared the speed of four Masters Athletics record holders against an average, sedentary man in a 4x100m race. The simulation, conducted by Motion Athlete, shows the incredible athleticism of older athletes, with the average man initially leading but ultimately being caught by one of the Masters athletes at the finish line.
A 3D simulation has put four Masters Athletics record holders up against an average man in a 4x100m race. Masters Athletics are designed for athletes over 35 years of age and include events in track and field, road running, and cross country running. Hiroo Tanaka from Japan ran the 100 meters in 15.08 seconds at the age of 86. Kenton Brown of the United States of America, at 76 years old, completed the distance in a quicker time of 13.25 seconds. Fellow American Damien Leake ran the 100m in 12.
31 seconds when he was 65 years old, and lastly, Brazilian Frederico Fischer clocked a time of 20.31 seconds when he was 95.Thanks to Motion Athlete, a 3D simulation was run to determine the winner between the four Masters Athletics athletes and an average, sedentary man, who was running the distance alone. As shown in the video posted on their YouTube channel, Tanaka and Brown led the average man before he caught up with Fischer during the third leg. Despite holding a healthy lead into the home straight, the average man was caught by Leake right on the line, sharing a photo finish. You can watch the footage below.The simulation has sparked a lot of discussion online, with many people amazed by the athleticism of the older runners. One fan commented: 'That's incredible! I'm in my 20s and still losing to a 76-year-old is crazy.' Another added: 'This shows that age is just a number when it comes to fitness.' The current 100m record still belongs to Usain Bolt, after the legendary Jamaican's stunning time of 9.58 seconds set in 2009.
