A 3D simulation has put four Masters Athletics record holders up against an average man in a 4x100m race.

The Master 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 metres in 15.08 seconds at the age of 86, 76-year-old Kenton Brown of the United States of America 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.

So, how would the above-mentioned quartet fare against an average man?

Thanks to Motion Athlete, a 3D simulation has been run to determine the winner between the four Master Athletics athletes and an average, sedentary man, who was running the distance alone.

The average man is expected to have a 100m split of 14.85 seconds.

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.

Reacting in the comments section, one fan said: "Man that 65 yr old can fly."

Another wrote: "The last leg hawked him down."

A third fan added: "Thats crazy bein' in your 20s but still losing to a 76 year old is crazy."

Someone else wrote: "Brazil mentioned!!!! Frederico Ficher GOAT!!!"

The current 100m record still belongs to Usain Bolt, after the legendary Jamaican's stunning time of 9.58 seconds set at the World Athletics Championships in 2009.

Many sprinters, namely the likes of Noah Lyles, Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake have all tried and failed to beat Bolt's time.
