Usain Bolt Names Marcus Rashford as the One Premier League Star Who Could Beat Him in a 20-Yard Sprint
When it comes to speed, there’s no one faster than Usain Bolt. The Jamaican sprinter has dominated the 100m and 200m events for years, holding the world record in both distances. But, despite his incredible acceleration, Bolt believes that one Premier League star could outrun him over a shorter distance.
That man is Marcus Rashford. In an interview with talkSPORT, Bolt revealed that Rashford’s explosive acceleration could give him the edge he needs to beat the Jamaican legend over 20 yards. "Rashford is quick out the blocks," Bolt said. "That is what he does. He has that burst of speed, but after that, I told him, you could probably get me in 20 yards. But after that, it’s over!"
Rashford’s speed is undeniable. The Manchester United forward has been praised for his electrifying pace, which has made him a nightmare for defenders to deal with. Bolt, who has trained with United’s players in the past, believes that Rashford’s acceleration is unmatched. "I’ve seen him up close, and he’s got that explosiveness," Bolt said. "I’m sure he could outrun me over 20 yards."
But can Rashford really outrun the fastest man on the planet? According to Bolt, yes. "Rashford has that burst of speed, and that’s what he does best," Bolt said. "He’s got the acceleration, and he’s got the power. I’m sure he could outrun me over 20 yards."
The debate is sure to rage on, with fans of both Bolt and Rashford having their own opinions on the matter. But one thing is for sure: Rashford’s speed is undeniable, and he’s a force to be reckoned with on the pitch.
