An incredible simulation shows how fast Usain Bolt can run compared with a cheetah and the average runner.
Not many of us could even come close to the speed of the fastest animal on Earth, but let's face it, if anyone could give it a try - it would be Bolt.
The athlete's record speed is 27.8mph, meanwhile the average speed of a cheetah is around 65-75mph.

Now, someone has created a simulation showing how Bolt compares to both a cheetah and a normal, average speed-running person.
And the clip really does sum up just how fast Bolt is.
While the Olympic gold medalist retired in 2017, he's still considered one of the greatest of all time.

Bolt has broken many records in his career, but his most memorable was a 100m sprint in 2009 that took a 9.58 seconds.
Nobody has managed to beat the record since.
In the clip, the cheetah wins the race, clocking in a time of 5.95 seconds, meanwhile Bolt finishes in 9.58 seconds and the average runner takes 15 seconds.

It's unsurprising considering just how fast a cheetah can run - and although Bolt is super speedy, it's nothing compared to the big cat.
But what about if Bolt took on a dog instead?
Another computer simulated race has shown how Bolt would fare against the fastest breed of dog in the world - a greyhound.
Incredibly, greyhounds can reach race speeds up to 40mph, which is obviously faster than the Jamaican athlete.

In a simple 100m race, the greyhound crosses the line in just 5.80 seconds, almost four seconds ahead of Bolt.
And despite a second race giving Bolt a huge head start, the greyhound still manages to overtake him and just manages to win the race.
Bolt has previously been asked by World Athletics Inside Track about which of his records would be the first to be broken.

Speaking about his title of 'world's fastest man' he said: "It's a great title.
"It's something that I enjoy even if I say it's not the most important – it's always the (medals), but it's a great title to have.
"It's something I enjoy knowing.
"I think the 100m's going to be harder (to break) because it's quicker, and if you make a mistake during the race you're not going to get it.
"It's a lot more technical so I think maybe the 100m's going to go last."
