Is Wayne Gretzky The Fastest Human Alive?

There are a lot of things The Great One did that really made you scratch your head. 90+ goals one NHL season? check. Record 200+ points in 4 out of 5 years? nottta big deal, that was easy. But one of the craziest videos on the internet has surfaced of Wayne Gretzky just dominating the worlds best athletes in a race in 1982.

Pele, Sugar Ray Leonard, Bjorn Borg and Gretzky ran in a 100m race and it really wasn't much of a race at all. Gretzky, who was fresh off a 212 point season with the Edmonton Oilers just embarrassed the worlds greatest athletes. Now, I'm pretty sure Pele was like 40 at the time. But Sugar Ray and Bjorn Borg were still buzzing. Borg won the French open in 1981 and won Wimbledon in 1980 and Leonard won the light middleweight title in 1981 and Gretzky just dusted them.
