NEW YORK, NY – MARCH 12: Track star and new Bolt pitchman Usain Bolt looks on during a press conference about the new Bolt Mobility scooter outside of New York City Hall, March 12, 2019 in New York City.

When you are best at something, people often use your name as an example. So anything fast will always be compared with Usain Bolt. That is the legacy of the legend sprinter. His name is synonymous with fast. While humans are generally no match against the Jamaican Olympian, it’s a dog that has earned a comparison with the legend.

The track and field legend Usain Bolt has led an incredible career. He is one of the very few athletes who have stardom beyond the sport they played. Popular with the nickname of ‘Lightning Bolt’ he holds the world record in 100m, 200m, and  4 × 100m relay races.

Usain Bolt has got some serious competition

A dog named Crazee is the one who is presenting a serious challenge to Usain Bolt. Her owner, Euan Paterson, said, “I think she would probably be faster than Usain Bolt.” Though the comparison seems weird, the 6-year-old border collie has won a medal at the 2022 ​Crufts competition. In the agility event, she completed the task in record 31.225 seconds.

Talking about how fast Crazee is, Euan Paterson further added, “When we’re looking at dog speed and agility, we talk about it in metres per second so Crazee is sitting at six metres per second; you don’t really get dogs going any faster than that, it’s really top end.”

Well, she certainly could be considered the Usain Bolt of dogs, given her speed is just out of the charts.
