Although it is difficult to predict the future with precision, historical trends and technological breakthroughs might offer some useful insights.
Over the past century, the world record for the men's
100-meter sprint has improved significantly, from 10.6 seconds in 1912 to the
current world record of 9.58 seconds set by Usain Bolt in 2009.
The current women's world record is held by Florence
Griffith-Joyner, who ran the distance in 10.49 seconds in 1988.
The 100-meter sprint record will likely continue to fall in the future, provided that equipment, training techniques,
and diet continue to grow technologically.
Human performance may have upper bounds, and it's
unknown how much more advancement is feasible.
Consequently, it is challenging to determine the
precise timing for the 100-meter sprint in 50 years.
The world records for the men's and women's 100-meter
sprints, respectively, may be broken and set at 9.3 and 9.4 seconds and 10.0
and 10.1 seconds.
This is totally theoretical and dependent on a wide
range of factors, including human biology and inherent constraints.
