Usain Bolt, the renowned Jamaican sprinter who set world records in the 100 and 200 meters in 2009, was once asked about the possibility of racing against football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Bolt’s reflections on this hypothetical competition offer an intriguing insight into his respect for Ronaldo’s athleticism.
Bolt, who retired as one of the most celebrated sprinters in history, has always been a fan of Ronaldo’s extraordinary career. During a 2020 interview, Bolt was questioned about whether he could outpace Ronaldo in a short-distance race. His response highlighted his admiration for Ronaldo’s physical prowess and dedication.
"For sure Cristiano Ronaldo," Bolt asserted when asked who might be a tough competitor in a race.
Bolt, at the time 34 years old, emphasized Ronaldo's rigorous training regimen: "For me, he works out every day. He's a super athlete, you know what I mean?" He elaborated on Ronaldo’s commitment to maintaining peak performance, noting, "He's always on top of his game. He works hard, he's focused."
Bolt’s assessment was clear: he believed Ronaldo’s current physical condition and relentless work ethic could make him a serious contender. "So right now, I definitely think he's faster than me," Bolt concluded, acknowledging the football star’s impressive speed and athletic ability.
