According to Rohan Paul, a humanoid robot from Beijing clocked 9.39s over 100m, faster than Usain Bolt's 9.58s world record from 2009 — and this year's race was an autonomous-only category, meaning the robot had to complete it without any human steering. If confirmed, it marks a landmark moment for humanoid locomotion (note: the claim is a secondhand retelling without an authoritative race source yet).
