At the 1988 Seoul OG Men's 100m final, Ben Johnson & Carl Lewis both achieved the same peak speed of 12.05m/s (12.048m/s rounded-up)or 26.95mph within the same 10m section of 50-60m.
10m Split times of both athletes come from the "Scientific Research Project at the Games of the XXIVth Olympiad - Seoul 1988'', Bruggemann, G. and Glad, B. (eds), IAAF and Charles University, Prague (1988)".
Ben Johnson (CAN), dq. 9.79s

Re: trivia question, very trivial
>what about flojo?
Flo-Jo achieved a 10m Split time of 0.91w
aided by the +3.0m/s following wind within the 1988 Soeul OG Women's 100m final.
She also achieved a 0.91s 10m split within the 1988 Soeul OG Women's 100m Quarter-final 3 (aided with +1.0m/s following wind).
These split times come from the "Scientific Research Project at the Games of the XXIVth Olympiad - Seoul 1988'', Bruggemann, G. and Glad, B. (eds), IAAF and Charles University, Prague (1988)".
Although for her 10.49s 'world record' form my Video-Tape Analysis I have recorded a 10m Split time of 0.89s, which represents a Peak Speed of
11.24m/s (11.235m/s rounded-up)or 25.14mph.
