Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang challenges Usain Bolt to a race (and he might win)
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is having quite a season so far. In addition to leading the Bundesliga scoring charts with 13 goals, the Borussia Dortmund star earned the most recent Player of the Month award, having netted the winner in the recent grudge match with Bayern Munich.
The Gabonese forward is high on confidence right now. So high, in fact, that he’s challenged the fastest man in the world to a sprint race.
It may sound foolish to challenge a nine-time Olympic gold medallist to a straight-line sprint, but Aubameyang could legitimately challenge the Jamaican over a distance of 30 metres. CNN reports:
In 2013, Borussia Dortmund’s Gabon international clocked 3.7 seconds in a 30-meter training run – eight hundredths of a second faster than Bolt over the same distance during the Jamaican’s Berlin 100-meter world record sprint seven years ago.
Auba is renowned for his speed and, evidently, he feels confident in his abilities. However, upon hearing of the challenge, Bolt nonchalantly said: “He knows I’m going to win.”
As luck would have it, the lightning-fast pair will have the perfect opportunity to race one another as Bolt is intending to train with Dortmund after the World Athletics Championships in August 2017.
Regardless of the fastest man over 30 metres, this race already has one winner: The German sports brand that conveniently happens to sponsor both Bolt and Borussia Dortmund.
