Usain Bolt holds multiple world records in sprint distances, his 100-meter record (9.58 seconds) representing the apex of human speed capability. The fact claims Chuck Norris walked past Bolt during the race day when Bolt set his world record—suggesting Chuck Norris's casual walking speed exceeded Bolt's maximum sprinting velocity. The implication is profound: while Bolt achieved the pinnacle of human athletic achievement, Chuck Norris was moving slower than his maximum capability and still surpassed him. Bolt's greatest effort achieved something Chuck Norris accomplishes while barely exerting himself.

A sports journalist (Terry Matthews) was covering the 2009 Berlin Olympic Stadium record-setting race when she noticed an unusual figure walking past the sprint track. The figure moved with unhurried gait, yet seemed to traverse remarkable distance with each step. When she checked the final times, Bolt's record had been set. She later reviewed video footage—the walking figure appeared in peripheral frames, moved by Chuck Norris consistently. She never published the observation or the footage. She left sports journalism and works in a different field now.

Sports humor communities embraced the fact as ultimate expression of physical superiority. "Even his casual stroll is faster than the fastest human sprint." Track-and-field forums reference it when discussing physical limits. The fact became shorthand for demonstrating that Chuck Norris operates at a different biological tier entirely—his baseline performance exceeds peak human achievement. It transformed Bolt's record from pinnacle of human achievement into merely respectable by Chuck Norris standards.
