🤖 Usain Bolt, don't Google this

Bolt's 9.58-second world record has stood since 2009 — and still does, if you only count humans. At the second annual World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, the Tiangong Ultra robot ran the 100m in 9.39 seconds. Humanity's greatest sprint record is now second place.

It wasn't pretty — robots slammed into crash pads, some got stretchered off. Still: last year the same robot covered the same distance in *21.5 seconds*.

The Games run until August 26, per The Verge. Soccer, table tennis, boxing. Robots have a list, apparently.
