In this article, a logistic model is introduced to adapt to the speed data obtained in the modern Olympics for the 100-meter men’s racing competitions. Firstly, a gamma truncated distribution is proposed to a priori describe the maximum reachable speed, on the basis of observations collected in literature. Secondly, a posterior distribution is derived considering the likelihood expressed by the data, with respect to the logistic model originally introduced. Some considerations are made comparing prior and posterior distributions.

Abstract
In this article, a logistic model is introduced to adapt to the speed data obtained in the modern Olympics for the 100-meter men’s racing competitions. Firstly, a gamma truncated distribution is proposed to a priori describe the maximum reachable speed, on the basis of observations collected in literature. Secondly, a posterior distribution is derived considering the likelihood expressed by the data, with respect to the logistic model originally introduced. Some considerations are made comparing prior and posterior distributions.
