As of 2011, only one location remained open, in the western Denver suburb of Lakewood, Colorado. There was also a northern Arizona chain of Mexican restaurants using the Casa Bonita name founded in 2003. Locations included Flagstaff, Cottonwood, Lake Havasu, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Sedona, and Paradise Valley.
But at least compared with all the other petrifying Olympic sliding sports, skeleton isnât as fast as youâd think. Matthew Antoine of the United States won bronze in menâs skeleton today with a maximum speed of 129.2 km/hr, or 80.3 mph.
How Fast Can Humans Run? The average human walking speed is in the neighborhood of 3 mph (4.8 km/h). How fast do you think you could run at a full sprint? 10 mph? 15 mph? What speed could you average over 26.2 miles? Below, I have taken several men's and women's world records and calculated the runners' average speed. Usain Bolt has averaged over 23 miles per hour in both the 100 and 200 meter events. It's interesting to note that the 60 meter race has a slower average speed for both men and women than the 100 meter race. This must be because accelerating at the start of a race takes some time. These world records were last updated on October 30, 2015.
