1. In which athletics event for men do they achieve the highest speed?
2. There are not many times in a year when you would be pleased to recieve these. (5)
3. Who directed the video for the Killers' Come with me?
These answers are animals
4. Use it in 47 (3)
5. Geographical point

It's not my subject, but found this re Carl Lewis who did both 100 metres and long-jump!

100 metres final Seoul 1988 Olympic Final
Scientist proved that Lewis desperate challenge of Johnson's cheated run, pushed him to the fastest speed ever reached by a man ( faster than Johnson's too ): 43,373 km/h !
(Lewis must have been about the fastest in the long-jump discipline too!)

How about the speed of the javelin in that event? The wording of the question does not seem to preclude this answer

[mohill]

Or maybe the discus?

Hi walnutcar.
In thinking about this overnight, I feel the question is asking for the speed achieved by the moving man and I am tending towards either the downhill slalom or the mens' bobsled fours. I feel both of these would be faster than any running event.

Don't you have any shame (or is it brains) ?.
Have you posted all 250 yet?

Here here Stone Gables!!! I'm with you on that thought

me 2. I've helped a few people today where they post the odd one but not long lists done at various times- fishing for many answers is copying not research.
