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 Sharks Swim? Whale sharks are slow swimmers and their top speed is no more than 5 miles (8 kilometers per hour) probably due to the fact that whale shark is the biggest fish in the world. It reaches a length of 40 ft (12 m) and weighs up to 13 tons (12 metric tons). Great white sharks are one of the fast movers in water. They are able to reach speeds of 25 miles per hour (40 km/h). They swim just below the waterâs surface. The white sharkâs body is built for the speed and its swift-moving ability makes it even more lethal killing machine.
