Usain Bolt when asleep and Usain bolt in the 100 metres.

One and the same thing but what the hell the guy is a one off.

Correct Deb. The slowest is the canoe at 11.7 mph
The fastest is the pistol pellet at 341 mph.

Here's a link to the answers on the BBC website which shows the other events although they seem to have left out swimming, not sure where that would come.
