WATCH: This Soccer Star Took Longer to Score a Penalty than Usain Bolt’s Entire 100m World Record Time

Published 01/18/2022, 1:39 PM EST

When it comes to sprinting, one name conquers all; That is sprinting legend, Usain Bolt. Even though Bolt has retired, he still holds the world record in both the 100m and the 200m race.

Notably, Bolt set the record-breaking performance in 2009, with a time of 9.58 seconds.

In a funny comparison, Bolt actually completed his whole 100m race in far less time than it took World Cup winner, Paul Pogba to complete his penalty kick.

Bolt could complete an entire race while one prepares to take a shot

Bolt performed his record best in the 2009 World Athletics. He performed an impressive 9.58 seconds in the 100m and 19.19 seconds in the 200m. Both of these records are yet to be met.

In the fun bit, Manchester United star Paul Pogba lines up to take a penalty. However, in what seems like a strategic move, he took a thoroughly slow runup. So much so that Bolt finished his iconic race before Pogba even reached the ball.

Notably, Bolt can complete an entire 100m race in less than 10 seconds. The video merges the two clips together for comparison’s sake. One can see that Bolt starts off the race and completes it, while Pogba finishes the shot later.

This video is yet another display of how fast Usain Bolt actually is. Bolt is the fastest man in the world, and it looks like he will remain so for a while.

Is Usain Bolt working on another album?

Apart from sprinting and soccer, Bolt is an ardent music lover as well. Just last year in September, Bolt released his debut album “Country Yutes”. The album took the music industry by storm and ruled the reggae charts for quite a while.

Being from Jamaican heritage, Bolt has always had a connection with music and dance. During the lockdown, he made the much-awaited release that won hearts all around.

Recently, Bolt revealed that he might be working on another album.

“I wanted to do a proper body of work and put it out there. Now we have done that, people are reaching out to work with us so I am going to be doing a lot more this year,” said Bolt.
