I'm one of the editors at Nutmeg, how's it going? Good call, you're right, that looks like a mistake... but maybe not by much. Maeda's top recorded speed is 35.39kph. If he's already at top speed (and can maintain for 50m - perhaps a stretch), that means he would cover 50m in 5.09secs. WR was from a racing start?
He can run 50 metres in under 5 seconds can he?!
The world record by the 1996 Olympic 100 metres champion Donovan Bailey is 5.6 seconds!
