100m Swim and Then 100m Run: Usain Bolt vs. Michael Phelps - Who Wins and by How Much?
In a hypothetical showdown between sprinting legend Usain Bolt and swimming icon Michael Phelps, who would emerge victorious in a combined 100m swim and then 100m run?
Bolt's lightning-fast speed and explosive acceleration would give him an advantage in the initial 100m sprint. However, Phelps' superior endurance and swimming technique would likely give him an edge in the 100m swim.
If we assume that Bolt completes the 100m sprint in 9.58 seconds, the world record, and Phelps completes the 100m freestyle in 46.91 seconds, the combined time differential would be approximately:
T = 9.58 s (run) + 46.91 s (swim) = 56.49 s
Therefore, Phelps would win the combined event by a margin of:
T (Bolt) - T (Phelps) = 56.49 s - 46.91 s = **9.58 s**
