SSRN-Ultimate 100M World Records through Extreme-Value Theory by John H. J. Einmahl, Sander Smeets

SSRN-Ultimate 100M World Records through Extreme-Value Theory by John H. J. Einmahl, Sander Smeets:
"Using the thus obtained estimate for the extreme-value index, the right endpoint of the speed distribution is estimated. The corresponding time can be interpreted as the estimated ultimate world record: the best possible time that could be run in the near future. We find 9.51 seconds for the 100m men and 10.33 seconds for the women.
