Jesse Owens won the 100m sprint at the 1936 Olympics and ruined Hitler’s day.
How would he have done at the 2020 Olympics? Would he have been eliminated in the heats, eliminated in the semi-final, last in the final, or 3rd in the final?
The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
I’m going to guess eliminated in the heats
Yep. His best time in 1936 was 10.3 seconds.
The slowest time for a qualifier in the heats was 10.2.
With such changes to track, equipment and training I would be surprised if he was anywhere near modern standards.
So let’s say he gets knocked out in the heats.
Yep. People have gotten a lot faster.
