An incredible simulation has placed eight-time Olympic Gold medalist Usain Bolt against an average human and cheetah.

Bolt still holds the record as the fastest man in history over 100 metres, having ran the distance in 9.58 at the World Athletics Championships back in 2009.

His previous best was 9.69 until he extended the record in Berlin. In that same sprint, the Jamaican recorded an insane top speed of 27.8mph.

The average person would take around 15 seconds to complete the 100m so 'Reigarw Comparisons' decided to see how a race would pan out.

However, they didn't want to make it so comfortable for the world record holder, so they added a cheetah into the mix, because why not?

The 3D simulation, which looks like something from a video game in the 1990s, sees us have the view of the human, and the distance between both the Cheetah and Bolt is rather humbling.

Bolt clocks in at his world-record time of 9.58 but the Jamaican legend is absolutely blown out of the water by the cheetah, which clocked an insane 5.65 seconds.

The fastest animal has a frightening top speed of 75mph (120kmh) and finishes the race just short of four seconds quicker than Bolt.

Another simulation from the Speed Showdown channel includes an average person called Robert Smith getting dusted by Bolt, while the page also got creative and put the 38-year-old up against Kylian Mbappe.

One of the fastest footballers around, he once ran the length of the pitch in 11 seconds and clocked a top speed of 22.4mph.

His fastest-ever speed of 23.6mph [38km/h] was taken into account for this hypothetical race, where Mbappe was overtaken by Bolt early on and left behind.

Bolt has admitted, however, that he believes Manchester United star Marcus Rashford would get the better of him over 20 yards.

Replying to Darren Bent on talkSPORT: "Yeah! Rashford is quick out the blocks, that is what he does. He has that burst of speed but after that, I told him, you could probably get me in 20 [yards]. But after that, it is over!"
