yohan blake ran 100 meters in 9.75 seconds while justin gatlin ran it in 9.79 seconds. If they ran as fast as they did in london, how long would it take them to run their new distances and would usain bolt still win the race.

Yohan Blake is running 91.8m/100m = 91.8% as he did in london. If he runs at the same rate, it should take him 91.8% as long. 91.8% of 9.75 seconds =0.918*9.75 seconds =8.95 seconds. meanwhile gatlin is running 94.4% as far as he did in london so he should 94.4% of 97.9% seconds = 9.24 seconds based off this

Yohan blake:Gold
Gaitlin:Silver
Usain: Bronze
