Quick tip: m/s to km/h = x3.6 :)

Let's see how realistic that is, if going BTB. An elf with Quickness 10
(attribute maximum), x3 running multiplier and Athletics 8 ("world class"
says SR3). Since it's a world record, we can assume all dice were
successes. That give an effective Quickness of 18, for a running speed of
18 m/s (distance moved per turn is 18 m x 3 for running = 54 m, divided by
3 for the 3-second turn). 100 m divided by 18 m/s is 5.556 seconds.
A night one could do even better, 5.000 seconds to be precise.
To get a time of 9.1 seconds, this world record elf would have to have had
an effective Quickness of 11 -- call it normal maximum Quickness (7) with
four Athletics successes. IOW, a decent amateur athlete running a good
race :)
