Olympic legend Usain Bolt once offered a surprising take on how he would fare in a race between himself and football legend Cristiano Ronaldo. In an old interview that has resurfaced, the Jamaican sprinter, who still holds the world records in the 100 and 200 meters from his electrifying performances in 2009, didn't dismiss the challenge. But the eight-time Olympic gold medalist and a fan of Ronaldo admitted that over a short distance, the Portuguese superstar might just give him a run for his money.
"For me, he works out every day. He's a super athlete, you know what I mean?" Bolt said via TMZ Sports.
"He's always on top of his game. He works hard, he's focused.
"So right now, I definitely think he's faster than me."
At 39, Ronaldo is continuing his career with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, while Bolt retired from elite sprinting at just 31.
