All these for just 9.63 seconds

The 25 year old Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt has on Sunday August 5, 2012 sealed the legendary status as the fastest man in the world after finishing with a resounding victory in the men's 100m race at the London 2012 olympics. Usain Bolt clocked an olympic record of 9.63 seconds, the second fastest time in history, after his 9.58 seconds world record at Berlin at the World Championships in August 2009. Jamaican compatriot and training partner Yohan Blake, long tipped as Bolt's successor as the fastest man in the world, claimed silver after equalling his personal best of 9.75sec. American 2004 Olympic gold medallist Justin Gatlin completed his remarkable comeback from a four-year doping ban by taking the bronze medal in a personal best of 9.79sec.

The victory is so sweet and glorious for the athlete but only God knows the amount of training that went into the preparations for a performance that only lasts for 9.63 seconds.

What does it take to become a world class athlete?
According to John Lather, a renowned sports researcher, the number one variable related to elite performance is time spent in training. Lather estimates that 20 hours of quality training per week for a period of eight years (approximately 10,000 cumulative hours) appears to be the amount of work required to reach a world class level. Lather emphasizes that it is 20 hours of quality training - with great intensity, not just the time spent in training that is required for elite performance.

How many hours do world class athletes train?
It has been established that the average world class athlete trains approximately 23 hours a week. Interestingly, the average athlete in America trains approximately 12 hours a week.
