Anyway, the photogs are running ALL OUT and they are losing ground to Bolt who is just jogging. Too funny...

100 m = 109.361 yards
109.361 yards divided by 40 yards = 2.734025
9.58 divided by 2.734025 = 3.50399
3.50399 seconds for 40 yards

If it was only that easy. I can run 1 meter in 0.10 seconds which means I can run the 100 in 10 seconds.

that just means he could run it even faster...

No, it doesn't. He probably doesn't reach full speed until at least halfway through. It's not as if he starts at top speed and stays there.

He is starting from still position...and he is a big guy with long strides - you gotta take both of those things in account, which will slow down his 40 time.

^^^ Yup. Bolt's worst part of his run is his start. Being 6'5, he doesn't get out of the blocks well. That 9.58 run was his best start in a while, and he still came up too fast. Sprinters have to stay low and come up gradually out of the blocks, which he didn't do. Basically, Bolt's first 40 meters are the worst 40 meters of his race.
That said, he'd still probably run around 4.05 or something.

There must be some resource for measuring his speed in, say, 25 meter increments or something.

Wow. So 60-80 m is the fastest split, generally. I guess that makes sense.
