Usain Bolt isn’t faster than a cheetah. Bolt set 100 meters sprint world record at the 2009 World Championships with 9.58 seconds. According to National Geographic, a cheetah can cover the same distance in 5.95 seconds, easily defeating Bolt.

While the answer may not surprise you, Usain Bolt is no match for a cheetah in terms of speed and agility. However, with adequate training, Usain Bolt may have enough endurance to beat a cheetah in an endurance or long-distance competition. Even this seems unlikely, given what the average cheetah goes through just to survive.
