Kylian Mbappe has agreed to take Usain Bolt on in a 100-metre race one day.
"Knowing that I inspire someone like that is really gratifying. It would be fun, why not one day if we both have the time, do something nice [...] I don't expect much from the result," the Frenchman has said, via RMC Sport.
"Yes, I can beat him," the 37-year-old Jamaican said earlier when asked if he would be able to win the race against Kylian.
Here's a 3D simulation to show what can happen in the race between the two – Bolt would comfortably finish first but Mbappe wouldn't lose by much despite the Jamaican's general superiority.
Usain Bolt is still the fastest man on Earth to run a 100-metre distance, having set the record of 9.58 seconds at the 2008 Olympics. Kylian Mbappe, in turn, is one of the fastest footballers on the planet who is also superb at sprinting.
