Top 10 Fastest Runners in the World

See our list of the 10 fastest 100m runners in history.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is probably the answer, he is the fastest man in history with a 9.58 seconds world record time.
For now, we would be considering the men’s list. Florence Griffith-Joyner with a world record time of 10.49 is the fastest woman in history.
Remember that the statistics are accurate as of August 2012 and do not include the occasions that people who have taken drugs to improve their performance have used.

10. Leroy Burrell, Mike Rodgers (USA) Adekotunbo, Olusoji Fasuba (Nigeria) Fastest Time: 9.85

In the top ten, Burrell keeps the title for a long time. He is now 52 years of age in 2019.
A track and field sprinter competing in 100 m and 60 m, Michael Rodgers is an American sprinter. In the 100 m circuit in Doha 2019, he won the gold medal.
Olusoji Adetokunbo Fasuba is a 100-meter Nigerian sprinter. With 9.85 seconds in the event, he is the new African record holder, making him the fastest African ever.

9. Donovan Bailey and Bruny Surin (Canada) Fastest Time: 9.84

The Atlanta Olympic and World Champion from 1995 are Canadian Bailey. Countryman Surin seemed to have always played him first warrior. 

8. Richard Thompson, Trinidad. Fastest Time: 9.82

In 2008, Thompson burst into the stage when he was 23 when, behind Usain Bolt, he was awarded bronze at the Olympics in Beijing.
Yet still, he was only six years later at the age of 30 when he wasn’t running fast.
At Port of Spain in 2014, the Trinidadian finished the eighth fastest time.

7. Steven Mullings, Jamaica, Fastest Time: 9.8

He has never qualified for an Olympic Games or won a major medal in any color, but Mullings has the 7th fastest time runner in 100m ever.
He did so seven times only in 2011, including his quick run in Eugene, Oregon, where he crossed the 10-second barrier.
After a second drug test, which resulted positive, the Jamaican was banned for life a short time later.

6. Maurice Green, USA, Fastest Time: 9.79

Greene is the five-times world champion during his earlier years and held the world record of 100 at 9.79, with four Olympic medals.
It now holds a world record of 60 meters indoor sprint at 6.39 seconds. The American speedster enjoyed its glory till 1999.
He not only broke the world record of Donovan Bailey but also won the Seville World Championship Gold and competed in nine second sub-10 second runs.
Over six years before Asafa Powell broke the world record in 2005, the Sydney Olympic gold medallist, three times world champion defended it.
In 2003, Tim Montgomery ended it, as because of a positive result in a drug test, this time was dropped.

5. Nesta Carter, Jamaica. Fastest Time: 9.78

Nesta Carter, a Jamaican sprinter (born October 11, 1985), ranks sixth among the fastest 100-meter runners ever.
His time of 9.78 seconds in Rieti, Italy, was an improvement over 9.91 seconds on his previous best.
However, Carter’s achievement is often overshadowed by some of his teammates in Jamaica, who often steal the limelight in the 100 meters division, although he was one of only 8 runners who currently ran in 9.8 seconds mark.
Perhaps most notable for his part in the 4×100 Men’s Sprint Team in Jamaica, which has 2 Olympics and 2 world titles.
Six years ago, in the Rieti sprint in Italy, it was finally announced the international arrival of Carter.
But while he has achieved success, particularly in sprint circuits, he has never enjoyed the individual success offered to him.
Now he has a steroid case, which had cost him–and his teammates–gold from the 2008 Olympics.

4. Justin Gatlin, USA, Fastest Time: 9.74

In the first Diamond League of 2015, in Dubai, the controversial American challenged to break the Jamaican monopoly in 100m sprint which he did so 12 months earlier beat his personal best by 0.03 seconds from Brussels.
Gatlin was the fastest man in the world until his doping ban ended four years of his career.
He was a college student and record-breaker at 9.77 in 2006, with six consecutive NCAA titles in the TWO seasons.
He returned in 2010 from a suspension to win the 2012 WIC in 60 meters (6.46 meters) and a bronze win in the Summer Olympics in 2012 (9.79).
After his silver at the Rio Games 2016, Gatlin was also the first American to be awarded a medal in three Olympics.

3. Asafa Powell, Jamaica. Fastest Time: 9.72

Next on our list of the fastest 100-meter sprinters of all time, we have Jamaican sprinting legend, Asafa Powell.
Having won four world championship 100m gold medals and countless other medals, it comes as no surprise that he is on the list.
Between June 2005 and May 2008, Powell held the 100-meter world record with a time of 9.77 seconds.
However, he has since lost out on this world record.
Powell’s personal best time of 9.72 was set on September 2, 2008, in Lausanne in Switzerland.
It was not enough to bring him back the title of being the fastest 100-meter runner of all time.
He does, however, place a respectable fourth-fastest 100-meter time ever.

2. Yohan Blake, Jamaica. Fastest Time: 9.69 (tie)

Yohan Blake is the other athlete who comes into being as the second-fastest athlete ever.
On 23 August, in Lausanne, Switzerland, the young Jamaican who is nicknamed ‘The Beast’, set a personal best time of 9.69 seconds.
The sprinter has achieved a lot in his career even though he was only 23 years old.
His personal best time of 200 meters, for instance, is the second quickest time ever.
He is also the youngest man ever to cross the 10-second mark. He was 19 years old when he broke that 10-second mark.
It also has fourteen gold, four silver and three bronze medals in international athletics competitions.
In 2019, he’s just 29 years old, not bad. Probably, in fact, we will have to look at this guy to see if he can claim the title of the fastest 100 m runner ever.

2. Tyson Gay, USA. Fastest Time: 9.69 (tie)

Gay’s 9.69 is the second-highest record ever after Bolt and set a new American record with a sprint of 19.58 seconds for 200 m.
20 seconds in 200, 45 seconds in 400 and 10 seconds for 100 he would be the first sprinter ever to achieve this impressive record.
Born 1982 in Lexington, Kentucky, Gay now holds the 100-meter American record.
On 20 September 2009, his personal best time of 9.69 was Shanghai’s only fastest time in 100 m. It’s been equaled since then.
In all of the major championships, Gay won gold medals and was an IAAF 2007 athlete of the year after winning gold in the World Championships 100, 200 and 400 meters.
In recent months, the fact that he has tested positive for a controlled substance that has seriously impacted his career.
This could be a profession offshoot for Tyson.

1. Usain Bolt, Jamaica. Fastest Time: 9.58

Usain Bolt (b. 21 August 1986), with a time of 9.58 seconds, was titled the fastest man of all time.
On 18 August 2016, the Bolt’s had retired from Olympics as the only one to win three straight 100-and 200-meter Olympic gold medals in the history of Athletics.
9.58 for 100, 19.19 for 200, 14.35 for 150— world records all over the world.
Bolt was the only person to be a three-time 200 world champion in 2013.
In the last ten years, Bolt has become a famous competitor and has now been one of the best athletes in the world.
He has won 33 gold and 7 silver medals throughout his international athletics career.
This is also part of his international youth record. That’s still unbelievably impressive.
There seem to be very few men who even come close to being as fast as this man anywhere else.
Nobody went faster and probably never would. Ever!

World records and achievements are obtainable in every sport — but the 100-meter race is different.
This race can be officially considered the quickest person in the world by its World Record holder.

As one might expect, there seems to be little left (or none) of whiskey from over a century ago, which is why only three bottles of Dalmore 64 Trinitas were made.
Only one for direct sale is available, and 1878, is no reference to what happened to the two others.
Maybe their owners have been simply enjoying them or maybe they are not for sale currently.
However, the Dalmore 64 Trinitas bottles are more likely to sell much higher than their original purchase price after it finally appears at the auction.
For a price of 160,000 USD, Dalmore 64 Trinitas is being sold to being one of the world’s most expensive whiskeys.

3. The Macallan Valerio Adami – $ 1.05 million

The price was incredible but not unprecedented: in May, a similar-release bottle was sold for just over $1 million at another Bonhams auction in Hong Kong to set a new world record for the costliest whiskey bottle.
There’s also considerable bragging rights for the Macallan: distillery launches claim three of the most expensive whiskey spots (it’s 4 in our list).
The whiskey was bottled in 1986 and Macallan commissioned Peter Blake and Valerio Adami to design the limited-edition labels-12 Adami labels and 12 Blake labels.

1. Isabella’s Islay – $6.2 million

If you’re not always as concerned about your whiskey as the bottle, this is the top-of-the-line Scotch for you.
Isabella’s Islay is one of the most expensive whiskeys in the world, with an estimated price tag of US$6.2 million.
The reason behind its name is the place of origin, the Island of Islay.
The brand lets you customize and select the diamond-studded name on the bottle.
Isabella’s is one of the finest whiskeys ever you will taste.

It’s a blend of artistic talent and outstanding craftsmanship that makes it one of the world’s most well-designed drink bottles.
It has the most valuable and costly whiskey, as rare as it can be for a drink.
If you are thinking why would anyone buy it for 6.2 million dollars?
The Islay value is all tied into its decanter, containing 8,500 diamonds, 300 rubies, and exquisite white gold. Put the just bottle alone, and it’s worth moreover $6 million.
It is one of the finest things that money can buy, decanter apart, as far as the whiskey’s taste is concerned.
Isabella is the ultimate expression of the luxury scotch whiskey, and it cost a ton of money on its own even without a diamond and jewel-encrusted bottle.

Whiskey inspires the cult reverence that sends prices up more than any other spirit.
This brown-spoke obsession is particularly apparent for iconic labels like Pappy Van Winkle, who has long been a white whale for obsessed enthusiasts of 23-year-old Family Reserve.
Groups like Bourbon Mafia and Bourbon Exchange have added fuel to the fire, and keep track of black markets and fluctuating rates such as traders at the NYSE.
The price only proves what top one-percenters can do with their extra cash.

Top 10 Famous Artists Today

These popular artists have created unique ways of showcasing their iconic modern art, from abstract facial drawings to street art.
Below is the list of the top 10 famous artists today:

10. Zeng Fanzhi - Expressionism

Zeng Fanzhi is a Beijing-based Chinese contemporary artist.
His painting has always had an emotional directness, an innate mental understanding of the painter, and his carefully calibrated expressionistic technique from the early stages of his career.
In the early 90s, Zeng’s work travels to Beijing and reveals an immediate change in response to his absorption in a shallow setting, his landmark series Mask, which shows the contradictions between his dominant philosophical issues and ironic treatment of pompousness and the mentality implicit in his new urban life.
Zeng’s expressionistic methods are, however, contradictory to the conventional use of such techniques.
The portrayal of Zeng’s bare, exposed flesh and oddly inflated hands is not an attempt at mere pure emotional expression but, rather, a satirical depiction of emotions as a metaphor for the misplaced oneself and stunted self-realization against the superficially composed appearances of the subjects.

Artworks

9. Richard Serra - Process art

The American painter Richard Serra joins the process art movement. He lives and works on the North Fork, Long Island, and in Tribeca, New York.
He is best known for his abstract sculptures in metal, the extensive appearance of which forces audiences to focus on the physical characteristics of the objects and their specific locations.
Richard Serra’s, one of the pre-eminent 20th-century sculptors,’s monumental works underline and change spectators’ perception of space and proportion.
Inspired by the modern dance at a very early stage in his career — especially by his encounters with the famous Judson Church dancers in New York City — and with Japanese zen gardens, the artist sought to create works that involve viewers in motion and capture the surrounding space in large sheet metal pieces.

Artworks

8. Marina Abramović - Performance art

7. Jeff Koons - Sculpture arts

Jeff Koons, one of several American artists who appeared with an emphasis on the prevailing consumer culture of the decade in the 1980s.
He may be best known for his over-dimensional creations of kitschy souvenirs, toys, and ornaments, which are bright and shiny in his Celebration (1994–2011) series.
Koons provides strong and lasting support to otherwise ephemeral objects through his choice of materials.
Jeff Koons deals with taste, pleasure, celebrities and commercial ideas.
Koons transforms banal objects into pop-art symbols, experimenting with seductive industrial materials (like high chrome steel from his Balloon Dog sculptures and vinyl inflatables) and size changes and the intricate production environment of a variety of technicians.
Although he is frequently considered ironic and tongue-in-cheek, Koons maintains that his approach is sincere and ambitious.
His work has been based largely on the techniques and the stylistic elements of art history.

6. Banksy - Street art

Banksy has created a whole art subculture dedicated to his works, perhaps the most controversial street artist in the world.
At any given moment, Banksy’s work can impact anywhere.
Even after 20 years in the graffiti world, his name remains unknown.
As he has collaborated with a variety of media and forms of street art so being anonymous seems a logical choice.
His research includes not only many important, sometimes controversial images but also viral images on the Internet.
Banksy continued to respect Blek le Rat’s works and often reuse his old ideas in his graffiti art lifestyle.
Since the early 1990s, he has been highly active in graffiti.
He provided a photo of himself covering his head with a paper bag (naturally recyclable).
The rest of his fans don’t want to know his real identity but have loudly protested in Fleet Street for requesting him to unmask.
We can see his art in major cities from Vienna, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Paris, and Detroit.
And with his documentary “Exit Through the Gift Shop” that was nominated for the Academy Award, he has moved from graffiti on colorful walls to paint onto canvas abstract art, and even movies.

3. Ai Weiwei - Installation art

Ai Weiwei is a contemporary artist and political activist from China.
This also undoubtedly makes him one of the most controversial figures in the world of installation art.

He devotes intellectual passion and poetry to his sculptures, portraits, and public artworks.
Also, he uses distinguishable or traditional styles of Chinese art in several critical observations of political and social issues in China.
In 2011 the ArtReview Magazine magazine publishers named this Chinese defector the most influential artist in the world.

2. Frank Gehry - Architecture

Frank Gehry is a Canadian-American architect known for postmodern design buildings such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.
The award-winning architect has been disrupting the very essence of architecture for more than a half-century.
While Gehry is immensely innovative in his projects, his architecture is legendary with certain defining features.
His tendency in postmodern architecture, where design elements become scattered, is known as deconstructivism and often characterized by many as messy or loosely coupled.
Gehry uses corrugated metals primarily which make the appearance unfinished or dislocated.
His use of ingredients such as corrugated metals offers a raw and unresolved artsy vibe for some of the projects.
Gehry was one of the most distinctive and easily recognizable architects in recent times with this unique architectural style.

Artworks

1. Gerhard Richter - Contemporary art

German contemporary artist Gerhard Richter is considered one of the most influential artists alive.
The works of Richter in abstraction and photo-based paintings contributed greatly to the medium’s development.
Gerhard Richter is well known for a multi-style interpretation of the painting medium, frequently integrating the visual effects of photography and refining them.
His large-scale photoreal representations of black and white pictures, which were painted in different gray tones, was created by Richter, and the result (sometimes considered being “photographic impressionism”) was blurred, and appeared smeared by portions of his paintings — reproducing counterintuitively photographic results and exposing his painterly eye.
Richter put Abstraction into his work of highly textured abstract gray monochromes and went about loosely between figuration and abstraction and created geometric “Color Charts,” bold gestural abstractions, observational paintings of everything from nudes, trees, vehicles to cities, architecture and Nazi settings.
