Usain Bolt Will Lose 100m Final at 2016 Olympics Says Statistics Firm

The fastest man alive will have a warm time defending his 100 metres title at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro if predictions made by Dutch company Infostrada come to pass.  

Infostrada currently manages the world’s biggest sports database covering 250 sports worldwide.

In 2012 Infostrada almost exactly predicted the British team would amass 65 medals.

Its latest predictions according to it’s ‘virtual media table’ predict that the United States will once again accrue the most medals putting them far ahead of China while Jamaica’s Usain Bolt will fail to win gold in the 100 metres for the first time since 2004.

  

According to Simon Gleave, head of analysis at Infostrada Sports, Bolt is second in the predictions because of a lack of competition over the past year. He also conceded that the 28 year old should, in reality, not be so easily written off – as the data also had Bolt missing out on gold at London 2012 – a prediction that was blown apart in an Olympic record time of 9.63 seconds.
