Original Note:
Post is slightly misleading as Van Der Ven's speed is measured from a 10m burst at full speed whereas Bolt's is an average speed across the whole 100m including a standing start. Bolt's quickest speed during his 9.69s run at 2008 Beijing Olympics was 12.2m/s or 27.28mph https://www.pixelbeat.org/misc/usain_bolt/#:~:text=whoever%20reached%20the%20highest%20speed,maintain%20this%20speed%20for%2010m.
